| Mn. EDITOR :--In my last communication
lit was shown that she Democratic part,
formed their organization for the support o
principles, and as there is 10 political prinei-
pie Involved In the election Of County Off.
GERS there is no obligation on the party Z
support nominations of that class.
On the other band there are cogent reasons
why it should not The duties Of county OF
6cers are as distinct from those Of politica
character as the duties of q lawyer in ths
quiet pursuit Of bis profession, or farmer il
the cultivation of the soil
It's manifest that laere is cabal 10 Berke-
ley County composed of politicians of every
shade and cast who are struggling to get
control Of the county offices aud court, to adj
vance their own political and private ends =
The next county election will be for the
sheriffalty. The Tirginia Republican, a
paper published in Martiosburg. by an Office
holder under the Administration, in an ar
ticle upon this subject. says:
at seems to us that the true course is to
hold convention this fall fox the nomination
Of a candidate for the Sheriffalty.'
The Sheriffalty is the most important Of
Zee in the county. because. it to a great ex
tent, controls the moneyed power Of the coun
ty When Sheriff owes his election to a
party, be is necessarily exposed to the strong
est temptations to use corruption to promote
its interests. Inmany instances bis own sub
sis:encc aud that of a helpless family are de-
pendent upon bis office. This may be cut
off by the defeat of bis party, its disapproba-
ton of bis course as party man, or the in-
trigues Of successful rival for the nomina-
ton. As general rule the remark is true,
that, Gin the general course of human nature,
a poper ouer mans subsistence amounts
to pouer orer his UiH." The Sheriff with
civil process in one hand, and the moneyed
influence which his office commands in the
other, will crush the poor and needy, who are
opposed to him in politics, under his feet,
whilst he will cover, and shrink from bis du-
ty when it is opposed to the wealthy and in
fuential of bis own party.
1t is, therefore, incumbent on the people
their duty and self respect demand ito
guard against these evils to remove the
temptations to do wrong by taking the elec-
ton of the Sheriff out of the hands of anv
party, and let him feel that his place depends
not upon the caprice of partisan leaders and
corrupt demagogues, but upon bis integrity
as man, and faithtulness as Public Off,

CANADA COMING.

The Quebec Morning Chronicle says the
Americans want Cuba and Canada. and adds
that Canada is fast going to them. Our
lumber goes to New York; our -four and cat
tie go to Boston Or Portland our very steam
ships go to Portland in the winter aud it must
be borne in mind that a commercial is the
most solid Of all political annexations. Can
ada is already part and parcel of the United
States, aud We are sorry at it, Nothing but
rush of emigration can save us. The tide
OF public opinion and ofpublic power is on the
turn; Loyalty to Great Britain is on the
ebb."

REFORMED WINGS.

Prentice. Of the Louisville Journal, gives
the following definition Of the term Reformed
Wing" ~
"A Reformed Wing is a poor devil who
has prefessed to change his political opinion,
and who has therefore been kicked out of the
Wing party. Such a creature may mako a
very good Locofoco-he may be willing to
adopt any opinion that his master may pre-
scribe; but he never can be relied on"
Martinsburg gazette. [volume] (Martinsburg, Va. [W. Va.]) 1833-1855, 1853-09-14

foa-The New York Mirror thinks: "This
is literally the golden age Of the Republic
The whole nation is waxing fat. Since the
dawn of civilization the world has never wit
messed such universal prosperity. That the
present state Of things will last for ever, we
have reason to believe. Night. and storm,
and darkness inevitably follow the brightest
sunshine. But wber all is bright, and calm.
and peaceful around and above us. it is folly
to afflict oneself with anticipations of coming
ca,amities."
