clerks, and others in the public Offices not
with political affairs, might proper
ly upon faithful discharge of their duties to
protect them during their terms of appoint
ment with a reasonable expectation Of a. re-
newal. A limited tenure of offices, If it occa-
stoned more changes in some branches of the
public service, would connect the government
and people more intimately, and produce the
most salutary results.
~~ss There can be no valid objection to frequent
changes where no previous training is necess-
airy to qualify persons to perform the duties
imposed. The country abounds with men
fitted for the discharge of all our civil offices.
Periodical changes by law will lessen the de-
sire, but too strongly manifested by many. to
live by ofice-holding. The periodical cry of
prescription would cease to exist, and the
laws and those who execute them command
more respect under the change we suggest.
The tenure of Office would then be more under
the law, and less subject to the will of those
holding political power. The law would not
hesitate to drop the hundreds of incompetent
superannuated, and useless office-holders, who
are said long to have fed at the public crib,
and no prudent or faithful man would reap
point them over worthy and well-qualifed
applicants We think we are not mistaken
in supposng that all political parties have
tolerated the continuance of men in Office
whom they would never have appointed. The
plan proposed would soon rid the public
offices of all such, and permit their places to
be supplied by active and useful men. Po
litical changes could be made as their terms
expired, without making removals This
course would be more satisfactory than the
one now pursued-not only to the people, but
to the Office holders themselves

THE PROGRESS OF THE STAR,

The circulation of the Star is so great
that the double cylinder Napier press we
now use, driven at its utmost speed by
our model steam engine, cannot supply
the demand. That We may remedy this
deficiency, We have ordered from Hoe &
Co., New York, new lightning press
that will print 5000 impression per hour,
which we shall have in operation by the
lst Of January. In the meantime, we
trust that our patrons will bear with US,
and excuse the lateness of the hour at
which the Star is received by most of
them. As soon as the evil can be RENE
died, we promise it shall be done.

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS,

The Inteiigeneer republishes anti-Sand.
Observation-Disclosures from the
Richmond Enquirer and Charleston Mer-
cary, congratulating its readers that those
highly respectable and influential journals
have so indicated their sentiments upon
that question. The editor also raps the
Union over the knuckles for being en-
gagged in making very deprecatory re-
marks upon Spain, her people, institu-
tons and National policy, just while Mr.
Soule, on the other hand, was engaged at
Madrid in giving the Spanish Government
strong assurances Of the very friendly
feeling of this Government for theirs. The
same paper also indirectly expresses
qualification at the refusal of Rhode Island
TO change her present Constitution, or
rather to adopt the one submitted to her
Citizens for their approval
The Sentnefs columns are, for the
most part, devoted to an account of, and
approbatory remarks upon the Every
hard" meeting held at Metropolitan Hall,
New York City. The same journal, how
ever, takes up the argument that the
result Of the recent elections out of New
York, embraces evidence that the Dem
ocracy OF the States where they were
held, approve Of the policy Of the Ad-
ministration. This idea the editor scents
to the four winds as about the most pre-
posterous thing imaginable. He takes
occasion in the article in question to give
the Administration ." independent sup
port" under the fifth fib
The Union, discussing The tenure of
public office, gives utterance to the fol-

the United States House of Representa-

sition must be devoted to the President

be against Free Soilism, but at some Pc

herent of David Wilmot, which he must
stand ready to prove By producing some
published letter or speech. There will
be no objection to the applicant, if he has
advocated the claims of every political
party that has had an existence in this
country, been cowhided at least dozen
times for libels, and driven from re-
