| IA late number 81 that s'inHuential Demo
cratic Journal IS down upon the spoils sys-
tenn, as now carried on at Washington, in
terms much to be deprecated BY an good
Democrats. It undertakes to give an au-
thentic history Of the formation Of the Wing
and Democratic parties, and attributes the
organization Of the latter to the cohesive at
traction Of the public plumber. showing how
the fayorite motto Of Gov. Marcy-the Pre-
sident's Secretary Of state-that 10 the
vietors belong Tie spOits, is fully exemplifi-
ed in the spoils policy pursued by the pre-
sent Administration. After giving history
Of the mannuyring and deep laid scheme
Of Martin Van Buren, and Gov. Marcy. from
1888 to 1853, to establish party upon the
seven principles Of the FIVE loves and two
fishes, the Herald says;
"The bit OF record we have given is in
teresting at the present day. We have not
time to trace out the effect of the policy it
discloses, upon persons and upon the ma
tional character, or even to run up the par
alIel of its work in the politics Of 1888 and
1858. By a singular coincidence, the men
of the former period are charged with ex-
ercising undue control now; and public opin-
ion does not relieve Gen. Pierce from the
responsibility of unwittingly adopting to
! some extent the noted scheme of the great
magician-that of conducting the govern
ment on system Of compensation bit
of white stone here, as Burke says. and a
bit Of black stone there. Whatever may
have been the necessity for adopting such a
plan Of administration when parties were
Ere-organized in 1897, no call is made now
for such tactics. There is an absence of
practical craftsmanship in it, and It's effect
upon the public mind is deeply injurious, by
the want Of moral filmness which it exhib-
its. The character of Gen. Pierce, and the
peculiar condi ion of public sentiment touch

viduals, gave promise that in the exercise
Of his Executive functions he Would.rise up
to the dignity of craftsmanship, put an end
forever to that grovelling system of spoils,
which, If carried out, must degrade the
government to the level of Wall street man
agement and morals"
But ..the character Of Gen. Pierce" and
''the peculiar condition Of public sentiment
under his Administration, has totally failed
to s'put an end 10 that groyeling system o.
spoils, which, If carried out, must degrad
