TnE VALLEY OF DRY BONES.

was in the hand OF God:
Borne upon the rushing gale,
On . vision'd mount trod,
Gusing DER Q boundless vale
Far % the eye could glance, rwassprsad,
With the remnants OF the dead.
Sons Of tho Captivity,
Prince and peasant; warrior, slave,
There lay naked to the sky
'Twss q ruined Nations grave;
Death sat on his lonclicst throne
In that wilderness Of bone.
Morn arose and twilight fell,
Still the bones lay Slcachcd and bare;
Midnight brought the pan.her's yell
Bounding through his human lair,
Till above the World Of Clay,
Ages seemed to wear away.
On my spirit came sound
Like the gush Of desert springs
Bursting Ger the burning ground
"Prophet Of the King Of Kings,
Shall not Israel live again!-
Shall not these dry bones be men''
Then stood and prophcsicd:
"Come together, bone TO bone"
Sudden % the stormy tide,
Thick ~ leaves by tempest strown,
Heaving Ger the mighty vale,
Shook the remnants cold aud pale!
Then the voice was heard once more
'.Prophct, call the winds Of Hcaven!n
A along the ,hreshing floor
Chat before the gale 10 driven,
Al the blast, with shout and clang
On their iect the myriads sprang!
Flashed TO heaven the vision'd shield,
Whirlwind axe, and lightning sword,
Crushing on = bloody field
Syria. chariots, Egypt's horde,
Till on Z,on's summit shonc,
Jsrael's Angel-guardcd Throne.
Thus tho Vision swept away:
Thunders rolled DER earth and Heaven,
Like the thunders Of the day
When Earth's pillars shall be riven.
Hear not the rushing wingsl
Art thou cominsl King OF Kings!

TLOCOFOCOIsnI

We do not know, that we can better illus
trate the spirit Of this odious political doc
trine, than by REFER ing the reader to
the following sketch of the rise and fall o.
Mr.. MARCUS MORTON Of Massachusetts,
the chief sachem Of locofocoism in that State
tits the Albany Evening Journal that writes
aMARcus MoRros has rendered more efficient ser
vice to locofocoism than any other in Massachu
setts To promote its interests, he allowed himself t.
be used many years. the Locofoco candidate fol
Governor. And when elected by one vote, he came
down from the Bench--whcrc he enjoyed an enviabls
reputationto wade, still deeper, into the miro Of To-
cofocoism From that time on, he gave himself up ia
the interests Of his party He stopped lower, and did
greater number Of dirty pieces Of political work
than almost any other man in the State His reward
was the house, where, until the last summer
his position prostituted to promote locoocoism
proper. Atthat time, he became "a Van Buren, man
active and open; for which he cast of by his old
friends, who now burn powder over his removal!

NIcKING.

Show the People nick them!n joyously
exclaims the nion, in reference to the
non-success Of the Wing candidates for Con
gress, in Connecticut and Virginia, and our
venerable neighbor shakes his sides with
laughter and rubs his hands with delight.
SHOW he hicks m!'--dolorously ejacu-
lates the same venerable gentleman, when
he hears that the Administration has signi-
fed its want Of confidence in incumbents Of
Office, and he clothes himself and his paper
in sackcloth and ashes. Now, we have gone
through both these operations of nicking,
and we are sure, they never had such dia-
metrically opposite effects upon our nerves
whence we infer, that we are much
better practical Democrat, than our contem-
porary is. We would advise him, if he will
permit us to do so, to follow our example at
the present moment. He does not see us
shedding tears over our losses in Connecti-
cut and Virginia, though we know they
were occasioned by the lukewarmness Of
our own friends. When the Administration
of Mr. Polk moved down hundreds Of Wing
ofhce-holders with the scythe Of political
prescription, in order to make room for
worse qualified Democrats, we never set
up lamentation for their fate. We always
cheerfully bow to the viii Of the people,
when expressed either directly or through
their agents. Its the only prescription, by
which the pains Of nicking can be endured,
and we commend it in good faith to all the
nickees, throughout the country, Of charac-
ter, party, age or condition. Nicking is
like the homely process Of derobing cells.
It's nothing, when the MCKEE gets used to
it!

Let me assure you that Gen. Taylor win sternly
pursue the line Of policy marked out In his Allison
letter. without turning the right or left to concili
ate mere party feeling and support. venture to say
that the views of the Cabinet In tho matter Of ap-
pointments win be approved by the country. They
are against prescription but for Justice and fair deal
ing. Of the $4,000 men OF all sorts holding Office
directly or indirectly under the general government
no, one thousand are probably Wings or Natives
The late Polk party had oil the revenues Of the pub
lie service In It's hands; and nearly every man In
Office was also in It's service, and all the rest Of the
country was dsranchised 20 far as the privilege Of
Office Is concerned.
Now if YOU could see the amount Of evidence
which Is accomplishing here every day Of the manner
In which most Of this legion have perverted iheiI
official stations for party purposes you would be
surprised that the Heads Of Departments do mol
throw them oil out at once. I, seems that nearly
every Post ofhcs in tho land has been held as the
pledge Of party fealty; that The terms "posimas
ter and poker" as Western man said to-day, ar,
almost synonyms.

state Of things shn be changed by decisive chang

THE PEACOCK.

The Union, in search Of classic SMILES,
compares the Administration to the Peacock,
and says that the former is as much ashamed
OF announcing the names Of removed officers,
as the latter is Of its feet. Our contempt
rary is partly right, but it attributes the
shame Of the Administration to the wrong
cause, when he says, that il arises from a
desire to conceal its violation Of pledges
Its shame Of announcing the names Of the
removed, is laudable anxiety to uphold the
credit and honor cf the country, and to spare
an unnecessary infection upon the feelings
Of the removed. II is ashamed, that the
corruptions Of the late dynasty shot'ld have
made il necessary to use the constitutions
axe at all, and, as necessary consequence
il is ashamed, to record the evidences Of that
necessity. The Peacock's feet are the fee,
Of the late dynasty, and we think its friends
ought to be thankful that the Administration
does not expose them
The daily national Whig. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1847-1849, 1849-05-05
cnNEInENcE

The Administration Is doing its duty faithfully of
fciently, manfully. II is doing precisely what I.o
cofocoism prior toto tho election predicted would b,
done If General Taylor was elected nnd 20 long rs
The complaints are confined to those who opposed
the election Of Gen. Taylor, they are certainly most

seen from the above, are perfectly satisfied
with the conduct Of the Administration, in
that quarter. So it will be with all oul
friends every where else, Virginia and Con.

not be amiss to state, that the Mobile Reg.

that there is not single incumbent in offics

Our opponents keep up more steady
FIRE, perhaps, against Mr. CoLLAMER, than
any other member Of the Cabinet. The
rea on is obvious. He crosses their path
more frequently But, independent Of this
consideration, which, in itself, would be no
cause Of complaint, il is his decision Of char
acter, his unwayering Whiggism, his sound
judgment Of men and measures, his OPPOSE
ton to all immortality in the public Offices,
and his determination to make the Post OF
fee what the law intends it to bean en-
CINE for the dissemination Of intelligence
and the transportation and delivery Of the
correspondence, Of the country-that disturb
the nerves Of the late dynasty and its sup
porterss They converted il into a misera-
BILE partisan machine, machine for the adj
vancement Of mere political tricksters. They
made il corrupt TO the very core. All this
evil Judge CoLLAMER is daily removing.
He has already done more towards effectng
the publication Of this mighty official power,
than the shortness Of time would lead me to
believe, and before the approaching summer
is over, the people will begin to realize the
salutary effects Of the wholesome change
Indeed, thy have already begun to feel It,
as our exchanges fully testify. Every where,
the Wing press bids him go on in the good
work. We can assure our friends, that he
viii do his duty, that he is a chip of the
Taylor block, every inch Of him, and that
he heeds not the abuse Of his adversaries.
We sabjoin q very just notice Of his char
acter and his labors, from the Chester,
Pennsylvania, Republican, which, we know,
will be cheerfnlly responded to, by our
Wing readers, As to our Democratic read
ers, we do not expect their appreciation now
That win come, when they cannot avoid
seeing, that Old lack is represented in the
Post Office Department by man, who
knows his duty, and who will do it, without
fear, favor or affection
JAcoB CoILAMEa.--Thc new Postmaster General
receives more abuse from the Locofoco press than
any other Individual in the Union There is merit
in the man, or he would not be so reved. We would
not give bnss farthing for Wing in office who
cannot make his mark, so that he may be seen and
heard by his political opponents. II has been well
said, that "a lukewnrm man In anything is not ia
vorite with God or man." There is no want of zeal
or ardor In Mr.. CoameE He IL firm, ardent, patri-
otto devoted to his duty, and determined that the
affairs Of the Department Of which he has charge
shall be administered by his agents for the benefit Of
the whole people. Snperannuated drones, from
whose careessness and negligence In Office the pub
lie have suffered, and prying politicians who have
used their position for corrupt and mercenary pur-
poses have been removed, when the evidence oftheir
incapacity or unfaiihfulness was made manifest
And for this Mr.. Collamer has BEEN and continues
be, abused by those who only look TO reward paIii
zans without consulting the public interest. We

thank The new Postmaster for the changes he lie ma

prR. LlPPARp.

This gentleman sent us, few days ago,
the official proceedings Of q meeting OF GER
tain citizens protesting to be Taylor Demo-
Gratis, in Philadelphia, in which the ground
was taken, that Gen. TAyLoR ought to
have selected Taylor Democrat as one Of
his Cabinet officers, and in which the asser-
tons were made, that Gen. TAYLOR had
violated his pledges and refused to repose
confidence in those Democrats who voted
for him. Not thinking, that the President
ought to have selected Taylor Democrat to
be one Of his cabinet advisers, and knowing
the above assertions to be untrue, we de-
clined admitting the proceedings, in ques-
ten, into the columns Of the National Wing,
and returned them with the remark that they
were "inadmissible for reasons not neces-
sary to mention. Mr.. LrpPARD has seen
proper to 20 over to the arch-enemy OF the
Administration, with the proceedings Of
those who call themselves Democratic friends
of Gen. TAYLOR, and ask for them place
in the columns Of the Union that arch-ene-
my's Journal. We are not going to find
fault with MIR. l.. for so doing, but we must
be permitted to say, that the doubts Of his
friendship and that Of the meeting to the
Administration, which were excited by the
resolutions themselves, are confirmed by his
disposition Of them, after they were rejected
by this journal. They who are not for us
are against us,--is an old and true saying,
and Mr.. LIPpARp and his associates have
verified il for the thousandth time by their
course in the present matter. We do not intend
to discuss, with Mr.. LIPPARD or his asso-
ciates, the question, whether General TAY-
LoR ought to have selected from among
Taylor Democrats a member Of his cabinet.
His omission to make such selection, is so
obviously in unison with all the dictates Of
common sense and propriety, that i admits
Of no discussion No friend Of General
TAYLOR ever dreamed Of such an event,
much less entertained the idea, in waking
moments. AS TO the violation Of his pledges,
Of which Mr.. l.. and his colaborers indirectly
accuse General TAYLOR, the charge is daily
refuted by the Presidents public acts I; and
as to the further accusation, that he does
not repose confidence in his Democratic
friends, that charge too is disproved by his
public acts They have already received
evidences Of his confidence and will receive
more, but as il is not all who call themselves
friends, who are so, we think we are not far
out Of the way, in attributng the movements
Of Mr.. LIPpARD and Company, to the fact,
that they may have discovered their own
unworthmess toparticipate in that confidence
Of which they complain they have not re-
ceived share.

THE AXE.

Our opponents assert, with good deal Of
assurance, that the President has ordered
the axe to be suspended 1t has never been
used, is not now used, by him, for proscrip-
tive purposes, notwithstanding the assevera-
tons of our opponents to the contrary; but
if they mean to be understood, that the
Executive intends to refrain from any fur
Their publication Of the official corps, they
will be egregiously disappointed. He is not
a man to turn his back upon his duty, and
the Heads Of Departments are men Of like
virtue, in this respect. The axe, the con-
temptation of which strikes so much horror
in the mind Of the Union, sleeps not for in
competency, dishonesty, in6delity, untrust-
worthiness. Honest and manly differences
of political opinion, apprehend nothing from
the appointing power Of this Administration,
when combined with the great prerequisites
laid down in the Inaugural but those who
seek to be appointed to, orretained in Office,
must not forget, that the appointing power,
is, by the Constitution, the sole and exclu-
sive judge Of the qualifications and trust
worthiness Of applicants or incumbents. The
people have placed in power an Administra-
ton, for the avowed and express purpose Of
restoring the Government to its original
purity, and they may be assured, that Gen.
TAYLOR viii not stay his hand till this be
done. Let no man lay the JUNCTION to hi.
soul, that there will be any compoundina
with official delinquency by the present Ad.
minstration.

CRITICISM.

Our neighbor, the Union, seems to be
fast losing his wit, as well as his patience
with the Administration. Not content with
exposing himself to the ridicule Of his read
ers, in taking exception to Mr.. DANIRL's
Sword Address, he berates Mr.. CLAYTON,
in no mincing terms, for want Of taste and
sense, in using the word "rulers' in the let
ter to LADY FRANKLIN Now, we do not
see, how any man, who can distinguish be-
tween house and horse, could possibly
arrive at the conclusion to which our neigh
Dor appears to have come, respecting the
word in question. Mr.. CLAYTON says that
Lady FRANKLIN's appeal was such as 10
enlist the sympathies Of tho "rulers and the
people Of any portion of the civilized world. I"
Is not this expression broad enough to take
in the people Of the United States and their
peculiar form Of government Surely, we
ink it is. Indeed, it is evident to us that
the writer intended by the use of the two
words "rulers" and "people," to exhibit
the distinctive forms Of government existent
in the old and the new world. But, even
admitting that such was not his intention,
Mr.. CLAYTON, in the subsequent portions
Of his beautiful letter, expressly excerpts the
United States and their federal government
out Of the class Of nations and governments
whose officers are rulers and not Delegates
are sovereigns and not servants. Indeed
solar from any portion Of Mr.. Cayton's
admirable letter being liable to the crit
icism, which the Union has seen fit to
bestow upon it, we consider it incomparably
superior to any thing Of the kind, that has
ever emanated from the Department Of State.
But, nothing itsecms can prevent our neigh
bor from making himself ridiculous, and we
must therefore leave him tothe enjoyment Of
his iollies.
