Tho patronage Of the government should be

tho patronage Of the government should BE-

Now our readers r%eeollect that 10 hs fni
inaugural address he gave ntteraoos 10 the
following just sentiments, tO-wit, That /" the
recent demonstration Of public sentiment in-
scribes on the list Of executive ddties, IN char.
aeters too legible to be overlooked, the task
Of reform, which will require particularly the
correction Of those abuses that have brought
the patronage Of the Federal Government into
conflict with the freedom Of elections, and the
cOunteFactiOn Of those causes which have dis
tGrbedthe rightfOl course Of appointment, and
have placed or continued power In unfaithful
or incompetent hands.'i And further, he said
that " l shall depend for the advancement Of
the public service more on the integrity and
zeal Of the public officers than on their num-
bers."
Thus we see the policy Of making removals
emPhaticaIIy denounced as an abuse. 1t was
proper for the yenerablelsage Of the Hermitage
to have corrected such abusesP as had dds.
turbed the course Of appointment, and placed
or continued power in unfailhful or incompe-
tent hands;' but not by using the patronage of
the government in conflict with the freedom of
elections, under these pledges, we expected
the removal Of no competent and faithful
officer for opinions cake, but that he would
carry out in practice the noble princi-
pies Of his Monroe letter, that "the Chief
Magistrate of a great and powerful nation
never indulge in party feeling; his con-
be liberal and disinterested, al
ways having in mind that he acts for the
whole and not a part Of the community p
Now we believe that up to this period the
proscrlPtlve policy was wholly unknown to
government, and in proof Of the %correctr
ness Of our opinion we present our readers
with some statistical announcements, recently
made in the United States Senate, which we
is correct, as we have seen no one

PAINE,s GREAT INVENTION.

Some gentlemen Of science and means are
making arrangements in New York city to tesl
the value and validity of the alleged great dis
covery of Mr.. Paine's, for generating light anc
heat from water, at an expense comparatively
nothing, and in illimitable quantities. The
report of his having made a contract to lighr
The Astor House arises out Of the proposed
experiment. That great establishment is now
lighted by gas made by the proprietors on the
premises, with their own instruments and ma,
chlnery. They can be applied to the use oil
Mr.. Paine's, and the experiment will be made
under the eye Of the PrOprietOrs Of the other
gentlemen who institute the Investigation
who proposes to buy the patent-right in case
of success.
The constitution Of the bargain, as stated
IN the N. Y. Tribune, are that Mr.. Paine, shall
bring one OF his machines to New York, and
produce at a nominal expense-say five cents
cents per thousand cubic feet-gas enough to
light the Astor House for six successive nights.
Before he commences the parties in question
are to deposlte one hundred thousand dollars
TO be paid over as soon as the trial is declared
successful. This is by way fbonus or guar,
antee, in case there should ban failure, to paw
over to him the sum Of one million, which is
u render those parties part proprietors of the
invention. The value Of the patent for the
United States (the City of Worcester except
ed, which is reserved for Mrs. Paine,) is fixed
at ten millions of dollars, and a Joint stock
company is to be formed to&manage it. The
proprietor is Mr.. John B. Pedrlck, Esq "a well
known and respectable citizen of Boston, who
has been aiding Mr.. Paine in his experiment.
This Invention or discovery, which has been
treated so lightly as a delusio on or an imposture,
is thus obtaining the opportunity for a salts.
factory test on a sufficiently large scale, and
under circumstances which show the impor-
lance which is atloched to it, and the anxiety
that 1t should prove to be all that it is repreS
sented' If successful, the owners will be
masters Of lncOlculable wealth; for every
work of human industry and economy will be
simultaneously affected. Some OF them will
be completely revolutiOnized. Light, and
heat, and motive power will be producible at
all times, without any sensible cost, out of
material which abound everywhere, without
price. Steam will be superseded, or made SO
cheap as to be OF common use in the most or
binary departments of labor. There will be
more use for fuel; coal mines will be lett
