1t is impossible for the Democratic PARTY to she.
coed, without organization, in carrying out its
principles. This is truism to which all subscribe
but some seem disposed not to act in conformity
with it. Every effort, matter from what motive
to disorganize, and every word uttered, the ten
dency of which is to impair the efficiency and bind
ing power OF organization ought to meet the stern

EE The Register censures Wesley Jones' ESQ.,
Marshal of the United States for this State, for
having declined 10 continue certain Assistant Mar
shals who were appointed by his predecessor, COL
Little. We take it for granted no one will deny
the right of the Marshal to pursue the course he
did; and SO far as party policy is concerned it
has been the uniform custom of both the Demo
cratic and Wing parties to select from their own
ranks respectively such persons as they thought
proper to select for public station-with this DIFF
ference however, the Wing leaders declaring before
The election that, in bestowing offices they will
know no party distinctions, and after tie election
turning out Democrats and putting in Whigs-
prescribing with as much system and ferocty as il
heir chief business was to prescribe opponents and
eward friends. Complaints from such quarter
lnder such circumstances, are therefore alike alb
urd and hypoeritical, and can have no weight
With intelligent and thinking men.
But the Register has kept back the main fact in
his matter, and that is, that none of these Asss-
ant Marshals intimated in any manner to the
darshal that they desired or even cared to be con-
inued. We have reason to know that he held up
lis appointments to the latest moment, supposng
hat these Assistants might give some intilnatiOn
f their wishes or feelings; but they were silent,
nd thus left him no alternative. If indeed they
esired to retain their places, it would have been
asy for them to have said so; if party pride pre-
en.ed them from saying SO, then they cannot
onplan that, as oartizans, they were dismissed
The Registers iourishes small capitals and
alics amount to nothing. Wesley Jones is not
, be affected in reputation and standing by any
ming of that sort, or indeed by any thing the Re
lister may insinuate or say.
The Register goes into crocodile illusions over

,elng over it as if the sum was sixteen hundred

lgton," as he is styled by that paper, will not be
kelly to call into his service, or to retain in his

ons.
