We learn from the Philadelphia papers that Postmaster
White Of that city. exhibited his gratitude for his con-
fmaton by democratic Senate by the instant removal
OF four democratic clerks From this circumstance we
have right to infer that the Of prescription is
only temporarily suspended; and when the present army
Of wing nominees get through the. Senate, the work
will be recommended and carried until not single
democrat is left in Office. We DO not know which to
admire most the wanion disregard Of solemn pledges BY
the Taylor administration and its underngs or the open
eontempt which they manifest for the intelligence and
moral sense of the people.

Because we have temporarily suspended our comments
the late speech of Mr. Truman Smith, we would not
have that gentleman infer that have forgotten it. On
the contrary, design to show, from the most authentic
his mistakes and misrepresentation with re-
gard to the political complexion Of persons in Office a,
the end Of the last administration and at the
time.
In reference to the speech OF Mr. Smith, the cores
pondent of the Harrisburg tPa) Union has the following
remarks:

the side Of the prosecution and many others in behalf OF

hours The reader has already that the jury has
found him guilty of murder the FIRST degree, and that he

understand ON what day the execution is TO take place
There is no wonder thai this mysterious has called
forth 50 profound interest in the public mind Some
trials of similar character have indeed taken place in
England and in this country The memorable case Of Eu-

with the important moral of avoiding extravaganza Of

the bitter and vindictve feelings which harassng, and

embarrassed creditor DR.. Parkman has probably pro-
voked his untmey fate by thus harassing and insulting
his murderer. We are fully that nothing can JUS
