CONCORD, y. II. Thursday April :, 1853
One of the A. months allotted to the reign Of ultra
LocO-F Ocosm in this country has passed, and while 1t
has been passing not few well-meaning men who with
held their votes from Gen SCOTT last November, have
been coming to their senses and now think they see
what is to be- the end of this Administration from the
beginning il has made One short year will not pass
away before vast mutitudes who support the incumbent
of the Presidential Chair. will deeply regret the blind
ness which nducedt them TO act they did in 1872. Al
ready the knowing who have been at Washington
since the Sd Of last month, begin to admit that great
Office can be filled by wirepung lntrlguer 10 lar less
creditto party than by iar-minded man of common
sense and common honesty Theywl learnmore OF this
speedily Intelligent of all parties here are not dis
appointed nor will they be- even though "fdTe-up IN
the Cabinet should in less than three months and
one or more of its members should be sent out Of the
country to get rid Of him or them.
This place is doing IFS part towards furnishing men 10
serve the country; the President. his private See
retarv the Collector at Boston, the Commission
or TO London, two : 900 Route Agents on the
the road between Boston and Burlington VI among
the number. and yet more are soon to be announcad
while New Hampshire men, almost without number are
ia be appointed in the States To which they have fled for
offices One is now at Washington from this place, and
he went there last February who is candidate Tor the
office now held by Mr. HOlbrook of Connecticut, Mail
Agent for New England whose appointment will he as
obnoxious as could be made The office is $1,000 one
and is a very responsible one and if the little fellow oh
parts If New England the applicant is VIGOROUSLY
wanting in all the requisites for such an office, or of
almost any other Office
You can scarcely imagine how fierce the followers OF
the President in this State for Office Even little
one among us not needed at ALL and worth but $500 per
snnum is sought by some II or 10 individuals. The
President knows this Office to be entirely useless, and vet
he will retain and fill il with of his partsans, so hun
rrv are his friends for Government plumber even on a
small scale.
If a movement could be made to reduce the number
of offices in the country AT least - per cent and then
reduce the salaries of the continued offices - per cent
il would meet with great favor from the people OF New
England An opinion is prevalent here, that 10 abate
the spirit of oce-seeking in the country Is necessary
to lessen the number Of Offices to be filed and lessen the
profits of those that must be filled should like 10 see
Col Benton of Missouri SOLITARY and alone, even al
the beginning put the ball in motion in the House Of
Representatives next winter such "baH would roll
the country through in ten months and no party would
dare oppose II.
BIZ the way. | hope Col. b. will not think Of going
back to the Senate again he do more good in the
House of Representatives than he possibly could in any
other position in which his friends could possibly place
him He is Just the for a reform leader in the
popular branch of Congress and there he should remain
for the present There he will be the observed OF all
