Office Hunters.


OF all the pitiable creatures in the
country, we think the ofice.seeker
stands pre-eminent. Crowds upon
crowds are fiocking to Washington to
obtain the honors and emoluments of
some station more or less conspicuous.
So it is every few years, and, indeed,
every year. Politics is trade, and
there are thousands of hangers on in
all parties who look to the elevation Of
lavorites, with the sole purpose Of
getting the crumbs that fall from the
masters table. An Editor of a paper
in far-off Minnesota, in referring to
the passion for Office, and the move
ments of the hungry towards Wash
ington, says" There are eight or ten
Of them there or on their way, COM
prising editors, pill peddlers, lawyers,
land sharks, loafers, Jews, and Gen
tiles. More are preparing to start.
Joy be with them A more graceless
crew Of unworthy beggurs never howl.
ed for soup at the kitchen door of
Parish poor house."
We have more respect for the
honest wood-sawyer who shoulders
his buck and seeks an honest living
BY honest toll, than the hungry, fawn-
ing, miserable loafers, who hang about
our Capital, soliciting official aims.
The business of the former is far more
manly, and less humiliating to per-
son of just sense Of his dignity, and
honor. 1t will be said somebody
must fill the Offices" That is true,
but let them be unsolicited. If we
had the dispensing of favors Of this
kind we would seek out the worthy,
honest and capable citizens who had
too much self respect to beg them.

Essential Appendaee.

The Free Thinkers Hail, in this
city has two or three large bars con-
nected with it which require seven or
eight active men on the Sabbath, to
wait upon the worshippers at the shrine
of free inquiry. The thousands who
assemble here on the Lords day, to
listen to the prolane babblings of inf
dels, and engage in gymnastic exer-
cises, find liquor indispensable to wash
down the truth, and hasten the DAYS
Of Progress, Perfection and Happi-
ness Of Man The Age Of Reason
is rapidly approaching, and its patron
Saint, Tom Paine, has many admir-
ers. We have never visited the PAN
demonium above referred to, but we
understand that after the interesting
addresses on Sunday morning against
the Bible and the God of the Bible,
thereis great rush to The bars by the
thirsty multitude. This noble band
of patriots and philanthropists have
but one object in view the Perfection,
Progress and Happiness of Man. How
indispensable are grog shops to secure
the glorious end?

New President.

This day Franklin Pierce, is indent-
ed into the Office of President of the
United States-the most exalted of
earthly positions.
Although he was not our prefer
ence, we cheerfully submit to the
choice Of the majority, and we hope
that he may discharge the high and
honorable duties devolving upon his
Office with credit to himself, and in
such way as to promote the highest
well-being and happiness Of his coun.
try, We fervently pray that his health
and life may be preserved, and that
he may prove worthy of the conf
dence reposed in him. No President
was ever inaugurated under more aus
picious and favorable circumstances.

LeprOsys
In another column Of our paper
will be found an extract from
Boston Journal, on the probabili-
ties OF this incurable and terrible dis
ease being brought to the United
States, and the Importance Of steps
being taken to arrest its extension
here. We thought,as we perused this
article, Of the disease, we now have
among US, more desolating and loath-
some than the leprosy, which is car
rying fifty thousand Of our citizens
annually, to premature and dishonor-
able graves. The description Of the
Norway Leprosy, is not inappropri-
ate to the pestilence that wastes at
noon day in our beloved land We
have moral lgpers, by scores and hun
dreds, in our cities and towns, who de-
light in propagating this deSolating
scourge, and who for the paltry sum
of JfOe cents, will inoculate the faith
er Of family when he knows that
his ruin, and the ruin Of his wife and
children, will be the result. Ought
not something be done Immediately
to arrest the destroyer? What better
can we do, than to seize the infection
and annihilate it. We appeal to the
reason and judgments Of men, wheth.
er government can do wiser thing,
than to authorize, and require, the
ministers Of the law, to search with
warrants the infected districts, and
destroy the destroyer of millions.
The people would not be as stupid,
reckless, Indifferent and wicked, in
relation to any other evil Of one thou
sandth part the magnitude. Our
pious corn growers on the Miami,
would hesitate before they would per-
NIT their corn to be converted into
an article, for the propagation Of the
Norway Leprosy, but they do not
hesitate to do meaner thing. If
our distilleries were ascertained to be
manufactures of leprous matter, they
would soon be levelled to the ground
by an indignant populace.
Is not this their character? There
are in our own land four hundred
thousand Scared, WOGted, filthy, rot
ting Iepers;; every neighborhood, and
almost every family, has one or more
of them, and every body knows where
the disease was contracted. When
shall they be healed, and the disease
arrested?

The OHIO ORGAN, of Temperance
Reform, published by Caleb Clark, and
edited by Gen. S. F. Cary, comes to
US this week in an entire new and pop-
ular form. We hail its appearance
with pleasure. It's columns are pom
derous with thought, and send plung-
ing fire into the ranks of the opposition.
Unparalleled success say we to the
Ohio Organ. We sincerely hope that
the editor will pay us a visit before
long. Come down among us, Gene

and we want help.-SOuthern Organ.

Australia.

The English government has for
bidden the sale of liquors in this land
Of Gold. The officers of govern

burn to the ground, all shops and shan

Query? Would it be unconstitG-
tiOnal for that government to enforce
the same law little nearer home?

H from week 10 week. IuInlSn ample ma
terials for illustrating the character Of
the liquor traffic. There is such sim
ilarity in the details Of this unholy bu-
/ siness, that if we were to recite them,
our readers would suspect that we had
two or three pages Of the Organ ste
reotyped to save the trouble Of prepar-
ing new matter. Suicides, Riots,

pers busy; and every morning the
readers Of these papers are fed onthis
kind of news. A weekly Of the size
of the Organ would not contain the
brief notices of these occurrences as
given in any one Of the dailies.-
Crimes and disorders Of every
kind, and nearly all tracable directly
to the liquor traffic, are rife in the
Queen City. Youthful vagrants and
drunkards are daily multiplying
One morning Of last week, sevsn boys,
all under tUelre gears old, were brought
before the Mayor, for getting drunk
and riotingi in the street. They broke
in windows, drew pistols and put a
whole neighborhood in fear, Who

matter Of any Importance to know, we
will state that it was a 1conaGn, the two
first letters of her name are Ann
Lynch. She keeps coffee house, and
is an honorable competitor for her
share Of the profits of this honorable
trade. She is asserting 'Woman's

pired, the keeper Of a saloon on Main
street, in a quarrel with three or four
of his drunken customers drew pis-
tol, shot and mortally wounded one of
them. Doubtless it will appear in in
vestigation that he acted in self de-

deserts" If our readers had taste
for these news items, we could tell
them Of arrests of drunken women,
suicides, stabbings, burglaries, rob
berries and murders, until they would
cry 'euough.' Cincinnati is great
cancer and its deadly influence is i'm
volving all that is good and hopeful in

The river and the rail roads are the
great arteries whence the virus is dis
tributed in every direction daily. We
take no pleasure in speaking thus of
our native city; on the contrary, we
would rather laud it as model place
if honesty and truth did not forbid
We do not say that this city is any
more Sedan than any other place Of
the same population. If Louisville,
st. Louis and New Orleans have as
large proportion of grog shops as we
have, they are just as immoral in pro-
portion, no matter Of how many
schools and churches any Of them can
boast. The whole head is sick, and
the whole breast is faint, full ofwounds
