We see, them that out of 632 offices in the De-
partments, the Democrats had appropriated to
themselves, when Gen. Taylor came in, 476, or
more than three fourths Of The aOhoJe number -

has retained in office $50 of the 476, and put
Whigsin the places of the remaining 1876, and in
u other offices not filled in March, l849 and that
there still remains to the Democratic party an ex
cess of Sc of all the officers in Washington. And
vet General Taylor is more abused for his wanton
prescription than for any other one thing, unless
we except such trivial failings as imbecility and
treachery
