TIE Public TREASURER. No one more highly
esteems the late Public Treasurer, Maj Hinton than
the Editor Of this papers this is both from personal
considerations, and the high claims he has on the
appreciation of all, for his unmpeachable integrity as
public officer. We cannot join in the complaints
made by presses because he is not reelected.
Had his party any right to expect it! We are sure
that gentleman does cherish any desire to have
his the subject of political controversy for he
has clans upon the dominant party in the Legls-
lature and presume that he is not anxious TO lay
himself under any obligations to them.
MIR. Courts is man of intelligence and integrity,
and doubt not will make as good Treasurer as
any that could be selected from either party. But
he will certainly not be elected by political friends
when they get into power in 1852. however well he
may deport himself, unless he repents and makes
satisfaction - for his political sins. "a. 20, .--..,.
The cry of prescription for opinions sake" is
much hackneyed to be of any political avail. The
people know very we'll that it is the practice of both
parties appoint their friends and refuse to vote for
their political enemies. To do the latter is not pro-
scription 10 an open election. An officer Is elected
for certain term, and neither in equity nor in accor-
dance with the principles of our government, which
susains rotation in office, is he entitled to reelection,
even by his own party-much less by those with
whom he differs In regard to political subjects. The
election Of Mr.. Courts is prose ripiion Of Maj
Hinton, because he was not rem0ved but simply not
poted for.-
We think the cases of ofice-holders and Office
seekers make up to much of the matter of political
controversy. IL Is the interest of such characters TO
excite the people the subject, because they
Office and must use the people for that purpose. But
the public interest and the general welfare forgot
ten in this melee of interest and corruption and
get at once into the habit of quarrelIing about
instead of disputing about tits the conduct
of oice-seekers that is injurng the of South
efn Rights. We have. indeed, an immense majority
at the South who, though strictly Union men, are,
nevertheless determined TO sustain Southern Rights
at all hazards. But there is danger that this great
and sacred cause will be overwhelmed by the tricks
and devices of selfish politicians, whe go only for
a spoils. = sste WihminyfOn FoaamerciaL
