- The Onion amuses US, in its constant
disavowals Of the use Of abusive epithets,
when the very papers in which the dsavowals
are made, generally have from four to six
columns each Of the most abusive epithets,
the language is capable Of. 1t is evident,
the Editor either does not sec his own faults,
or tries to brave public opinion.

Office, that they come to demand Il as mat
ter Of right. Whether they are with the
successful party or.against i, i is all the
same. Office is ours, say shey-and if you
do not give it, wen turn against you, and
do you all the harm we can. The imperti-
nence of Mr.. LIppARD is only equalled by
that Of the Union. He expected, as mat
ter Of right, that General TAYLOR should
appoint him or his friend to Office, because
he or his friend voted for him, not because
lie or his friend was qualified, honest, and
faithful. General TAYLOR was not to de-
eide upon the merits Of the case; he ought
to take Mr. LIrpARD or his friend because
Mr. LrPpARD or lis friend is friend to him.
No other questions must be asked. Such is
the view taken by Mr.. LrPPARD, and such,
we are sorry to say, is the view taken by
too many Of our own Wing friends. But
Mr.. LIpPARD does not seem to remember
that his letter carries with il its own anti
dote. Whether he was SO or not, the public
will at once regard it as the efusion Of a dis
appointed office-seeker. Indeed, none but
disappointed ofIice-seeker could write such a
letter as that 1t abounds with all the gall
Of bitterness, incident upon disappointment.
II proves that General TAYLOR was right in
denying to him or his friend the official COM.
fidence Of the Government, for he has shown
himself, by this very letter, to be untrust-
worthy. 1t is the efusion Of self-interest,
crossed in its unholy purposes. There is
not particle Of proof brought, that General
TAYLOR has violated his pledges to those
who voted for him, Mr.. LIPpARD amongst
them. Suppose that all the Taylor Demo-
Gratis in the land were applicants for office,
and General TAYLOR did not consider any
one Of them fitted to receive an appointment,
is this any proof of his violating bis promise
to be no-party President Surely not.
But Gen. TAYLOR has found Taylor Demo-
Gratis fitted for Office, has appointed them,
has retained them; and Mr.. LIPrARD knows
the fact too, but he did not succeed himself nor
did his friend succeed in his expectations and
hence his wrath, his detection, his violence,
his insolence, his unjustifablc assault upon
the Chief Magistrate, his forgetfulness Of
his own self-respect. Every body, friend
Or foe, who may chance to read Lis letter,
will recognize the disappointed office-seeker
and his missile against the President will
sink more rapidly into the sea Of oblivion,
than stone dropped into the ocean will dis
appear from sight

: Mr.. GEoncE LIppAnD, of Philadel

------------.nD ann-----------
- Mr.. GEORGE LIppARD, Of Philadel-
phia, It seems, has turned his back upon
Gen. TAYLOR. We trust, that the Presi-
dent will survive this affecting event, OF we
shall begin TO despair Of the fate of the Re-
public! But, what think you, good reader,
is the reason, why Mr.. LlpPARp should find
himself compelled, SO soon after Gen. TAY-
loR's accession to the Presidency, to turn
and rend him, whom he declared he loved
with all his heart |" first and last" We
will tell you. The President did not con-
slider that justice and the public good would
be advanced by appointing either Mr.. LIP
pARD or his friend to Office! This is the
sum and substance Of Mr.. LrrrARD's oppo-
sition, as it was, it seems, Of his friendship,
All his high toned devotion to the Lion Of
Buena Vista, all his undying love for the old
Hero, was, the ignoble lust Of Office. What
type Of nine-tenths Of the politicians,
great and small, high and low, rich and
poor, honest and dishonest, capable and in
capable, faithful and unfaithful, is this Mr..
GEORGE LIPpARD And SO corrupt is the
press and the greater part Of all the leading
men Of all parties, that the moment they are
disappointed in their aspirations after office,
they instantly turn and set upon the Ad-
ministration, which they helped to put into
power, with all the ferocity imaginable.
This is true, we grieve to say, as general
rule. The exceptions only illustrate its
truth. The history Of all parties is full Of
examples in point, but there will be none
more remarkable, on a small scale, than this
one Of Mr. LIPPARD. We can assure him,
that we should not have stopped to notice
his case at all, il it were not, just at this
time, TO call the public attention to the cor
rupt state Of party opinion on this subject,
even in our own Wing party. Men claim
Office, now-a-days as their right, their pro-
perty, their spoils, without regard to fitness,
honesty or fidelity. The corrupting exam
pie Of the Democratic party for twenty
years, has had fearful influence upon the
Wing party When out Of power, Wings
preach the right doctrine upon the subject
Of office, as public trust, but when they get
into power,t they bear with no patience what
ever the practice Of that doctrine, if the man
tie Of Office should not fall upon their shout
ders. Still, the habitual respect Of Wings 70,
Wing public opinion restrajns them from max
ing displays like this one which Mr.. LrppARp
has made. Now and then, their Impotence
breaks out in audible terms, as in the case
Of the New York Express and Mr.. TALL
aADcE, the Marshal, and in the further case
Of the New York Mirror and its impulsiys
editor. Among Wings, however, there j,
much clearer understanding Of the relativ,
rights Of the appointing power and Of appli,
cants for Office, than among Democrats
The latter are 50 in the habit Of enjoying
