RErRInIrrInN.

Never was there more convincing proof that "ihe wrongs of society and the abuses of govern ment wiil themselves educate their own avengers than may be found In the contemplation of the pre- sent political aspect of our country. A few months ago, through the easy credulity of our people, and their generous enthusiasm in awarding praise to of the chieftains of their victorious army sci or designing demagogues managed to creep into the high places of the government; such men as CLAY TON, aud EwINo and MEREDITH, and CoLLAMEa, be- came the virtual administrators of the executive power of tine country.
 Upon the eve of the Presidential election, assu- rances and obligations Of every kind aud character were given that the administration of Gen. TAYLOR should be all that is great, glorious, and good honesty, capacity, and fidelity should alone be the tests of applicants for favor; tender regard should be had for the public interests, aud every effort of these sacrificing patriots should be directed to the promotion of the prosperity and welfare of the country. Scarcely had the weak and inexperienced President been installed in otce and these iniess of sraitorous federalism gathered to his councils, when this Taylor administration. confident of its security, like the dread Mokanna al his last fearful iesuVhl tore OH tne ven that couceafod us nlleOus- ness and exhibited to the people. " Not inc long promised light-the brow, whose
 beaming
 Was to come forth all eonqueriag. all redeeming But features horribler than hell are traced
 Upon its brood"
 Its hypocrisy has been avowed unprecedented arrogations of power have been attempted the bar gain and sale of offices, g!aring bribery asd corrnp ton have been unscrupuioasy resorted 10 the most wanton outrsges have been boldly committed; at utter disregard and contempt has been manifes- ted for the rights of the citizen and the reputation of the Government, Bat, thanks 10 that ever-re-
 liable ''sober sec ond thought" tho people have al ready discovered how they have been duped and swinded, The excesses of the administration have opened their eyes and made their ears attentive and never before has retributon fallen So prompt and heavy upon the head of the eif.ader. The voice ol the nation is liying rebuke to the cabinet thai has proved itself as false to the country as thoss who hung out the blue lights the banks of the Con- neeticut. From Maiae to Louisiana wherever elee- lions have been held, heara the shouts of ,emo- cratic victories. This is bat the begianing os lhe end, for, the President and his lrucalent adyi. seTs have rested from lie tos aud labofs of the campaign, they will have won for themselves and their practices universal detesatan and for their party eternal and inglorioas defeat.

Misunderstanding.

The New Hampshire Patriot, in fit of most vir-
tuous Indignation, denies that Mr.. Hill, late pen
sion agent in New Hampshire, is defaulter. The
Patriot says: alt may be that the Government will
contend there is a balance due from him but he
accounts for that balance, and insists that he is
fairly and cquitaby entitled TO il; and he is ready
to submit the matter the decision of court and
jury" II is only little misunderstanding, says
a contemporary between Mr.. Hill and the United
States Government
I" Misunderstanding very nice word in
deed Hereafter, when some enterprisng gentle
man runs his arms up his shoulders in the United
States treasury and IL arrested in the act OF walk
ing of with his booty, shall find him rcgrettng
the "ttle misunderstanding" between himself and
Uncle Sam. There never rogue sentenced
20 imprisonment and the rope, between whom and
the judge, well society, there did not exist
little Misunderstanding.
The number Of defaIcations coming to light is
truly astounding. Ever and anon, as the "guillo
tine" pauses, VIC hear Of some "victim," plump as
partridge, and his fat carcaso filled with all
manner Of spoils. We should like to see list OF
those already developed. Whenever superabun-
dant display Of wrath is exhibited at removal,
there Is generally some good reason for it. Like
