1saAS~o1s Aoon Once
The Republic seems 70 have constituted itself the spe
ca Of the practical measures Of the admnsra
ton, far they designed to organize the wing
party and 10 Strengthen the hands and animate the hearts
Of its friends This policy would appear be 10 turn out
all democrats; put in all wings for whom places be
made OF found and then wing will be faithfully
carried out and the prosperity OF the country be secured
The ofhcia ncuInbents TO be displaced for the ben
eft OF their wing and the advantages be
oyed by the country are be found in the faithful
cution Of wing measures
Now we confess we have no very great acquaintance
with The profound of wing policy; but we shall
be really reocsd to learn what important wing policy is
ecaied out through the agency Of subordinate clerks
doorkeepers, messengers or even village posmasters,
No doubt something OF this kind is soon TO burst forth
upon the world in the execution OF which all the whg
officials. from the coal boys" up the President are
to have active participation, and in honor OF which
they will all be expected TO unite in chorus of applause
We presume from the fact that subordinate places
daily vacated to make for good wing assistants 10
execute The lGo and the Republic authority that they
needed for this high function.
II happens that have occasionally remarked when
officers removed, that they "among the best
men" We knew it, or would not have said it yet the
Republic takes quite in dudgeon, that. when good
is kicked out of office for ether than to make
way for wing, friendly word Of commentator should
be paid to him. This is feature in wing or federal lib
erality by new but at all times despicable and
narrow minded. Under the present dynasty is this
peciay sol for il into power under the pledge and
that it would abstain from prescription unless
for cause The administration OF President Fillmore but
part and parcel Of that of General Taylor; il into
power through the Of his personal popularity and
bound by the declarations and pledges on which his
popularity was based.
We have at no time so much complained of the pro-
scription as Of the open and shameless violation Of
pledges which manifested every day by these ndiscrm
mate removals. We know that many of the men dis
missed poor bered with large families, and in
most if not ALL cases competent Industrious and faithful
officers Their only sin in not being whgs the only
reason for their dismissal make places for violent, hun
gry and raw wings, ignorant Of the duties they a
pointed to perform, and possessing no peculiar merit bu
violence Of partnership and supposed usefulness as pc
ltca tools If such be the high minded dignity OF whe
rule let it be avowed; and the nation will know wha
species OF liberality the noproscrpton system ant
wing justice mean in the wing vocabulary.
