The Conpromise in New Orleans.

ga Wing Representative in Congress" whom
we presume to be Mr.. Conrad, of Louisiana,
directs the attention of the National Intelligencer
to an article from the New Orleans Bulletin,
which the Intelligencer copies, and from which it
appears that all the leading papers of New Orleans,
viz the Bulletin and Bee (Whig) the Courier
Democratic,) and the Picayune, Delta and Cres-
cent, approve the Compromise bill. The Bull
letin believes that the papers of the city not in
cluded amongst those quoted from, are equally
positive in their approval and says that $50 far as
our community is concerned, public opinion is all
on one side" The Picayune remarks
We not apprized whether the controversy between
the Republic and other leading presses OF its own poll

shows how much alarm felt and serious causes OF

FARMING OUT PUBLIC OFFICES.

Mr. EDITOR Ever since the days Of Nero,
and for aught know, from the time of Nimrod,
ii has been the practice, under despotic and even
monarchical Governments, tot arm out public Of
fees. This is not only done by Governments but
sometimes by so vereigns themselves
" We are enforced to farm our royal ream"-SAak
The court ia sorite, when an office is bestowed
upon him for services performed or expected, or
from mere favositism, farms the taxes or rents to
another, or hires him to perform the duties Of the
Office while he quaffs the muscadel" Even
preaching il done in some countries by proxy,
and the practice Of farming Offices prevails in this
country-tAe Model Republic-it seems! III
mistake not the matter was brought before the
consideration of one branch the National Legis-
ature, recently. An old gentleman in this city,
who has served the Wing party night and day,
through evil report and good report, was appoint
ed by General Taylor TO supersede brisk little
man who received his appointment from Mr.. Polk.
He sits in his armchair, while another person,
in different part Of the city, is the actuary.
Whether they divide the salary equally, or three
quarters to one quarter, or the Government Off
GER pay his officer commission, do not know.

Let all sinecures be done away in this country
let only capable, honest, and faithful men be APP
pointed to ofIice-let no man receive or retain an
office because he is a noisy politician-oblige the
office holder to perform the duties personally.
Then the business Of the Government will be
transacted promptly and economically--and not

old, an angel ministered unto him under the form

And when those heavy doors were opened, and,
under the ban of exile, he was again permitted to
go forth, the angel was still by his side for she
