A Despondent Editor.

We "pass round the following advertise
ment, which appears Tn the last number Of the
Saratoga Republican, offering that establish
ment for sale. Our friend Corey is evidently
under the impresson that they can't appreciate
genius in that region of the country, and he
probably wants to follow in the footsteps Of the
Western editor who had to retire from the
editorial chair 10 recruit his moral 'constitu-
ton"
We advise him to swat little longer, as
there's good time coming, boys:
PRINTING ESTABLISHMENT FOR SALE
Having made precisely money enough at
the printing business, the Subscriber is satisfied
TO give up and retire to the poor-house. Un-
der these circumstances, he is induced to offer
the printing establishment of the Saratoga
Republican for sale.
The paper has a circulation of about 1000
e.fourth Of which may be called paying,
and the other threefourths non paying patrons.
The office has good variety of job type, and
fair run Of work of this description, provi-
ding the work is done at the reduced New
York prices, and the printer will take "cats
and dogs" for pay.
Tho subscription list and good will of the
Office will be thrown in, if the purchaser will
take the type, presses and materials for what
they are worth, and pay for them. so that
there viii be no probability of the pres
ent proprietor being obliged to take the
establishment back, and returning to the busi-
ness.
Possession given as soon as the pending
campaign is over, and Pierce is elected Pres-
dent j. A. COREY.

times, met my entire approval.

delicacy and propriety on your part which in
duces you to seperato from the Administrations
at this time lest il might be embarrassed by
your connection with it in the coming contest:
cannot regret the cause which compels you
to do this act, however much may regret the
act itself 1t would have been gratifying to
me if the constitutional advisers with whom
commenced my Administration, and who have
acted so cordially together, could have remain
edSa unit in perron and in sentiment until its
close. But fate and the sovereign people have
ordered otherwise. yield to tho necessity OF

AN EvAsroN.-The Locofoco presses of tho

question of River and Harbor improvements is
one Of thorough and vital interest tries the
following "Kane Letter" expcdient upon its
readers.
If the bold and groundless assertions of such
prints as the N. Y. Tribune, the Detroit Id
rsrtisef, and others of the same stamp, could
gain credence with the people, they would be
made to believe, that appropriateness for the
Improvement of rivers and harbors, and the
erection Of piers where the safety Of COM
merce requires them, had never fcceived the
support Of the Democratic party and were
irreconcably inconsistent with the principles
of its leading statesmen.
The second. subdivision of the Locofoco
Platform, which was adopted at the Baltimore
Convention of July 1st. reads as follows:
"Resolved, That the Constitution does not
confer upon the, general Government power
TO commend and carry on general system of
internal improvements"

meant, and had the power, if they had regar-
