The Tape Worm.
This worm is the most difficult one 70

and becoming so coiled and fastened in
the intestines and stomach as to produce
Fits, st. Vitus' Dance, &C., which is tho
cause of many going to the grave, not ba-
lieving that these complaints have their
origin from the tape worm; consequently
they do not use the proper medicines for
their disease. To those who are afflicted
with this awful foe to health, recommend
the use of my Worm Syrup. and Liver
Pills; the syrup to be taken in doses OF two
tablespoons full three times DAY, then
take from five to eight of my Liver Pills,
to dislodge and pass the worm. BY strictly
following these directions, the most OBJ

the organ pronouuccs them reformed while Southern
Democrats endorse them for high official stations
We should suppose the Post knows them better than
the Washington Union or the Southern Democracy.

Onifial Appolntments.

In the better days of the Republic men were cho-
scn to all the offices of the land from considerations
ofcapacity as he honest is he capable, is he fifth
full" was a saying of Mr.. Jefferson, which has been
30 oflen quoted that it has now become trite. The
force of it has nevertheless, not been lesscned.-
But how far have such tests been departed from in
mDdern days They form the least part Of the con-
sdersons that govern the selections of public officers
un Tor the present political dynasty The purposes
that official stations originally intended to pro
mote have been made subservient TO a system OF
bribery and rewards for partizan purposes. The
faithful discharge Of the duties of the respective off,
ces has been made to give place to considerations
ofpsrty policy. he test Of qualification has been
supplanted By that of erpeiieacy How much capi-
tai the appointment bring to the party by way Of
conciia; this that faction some Of the controlling
questions in comforting the appointment The scrvi-
of the best qualified candidates for the appoint
summarily set aside to make way for Others
of far less capacity, but who exhibit sup, rior
claims for partihan services rendered, and afford
stronger Inducements for reconcin. discordant po-
litical clements. This is now tho price Of official
station-iho condtonupon which it is bought The Of
fees of the Government set up the highest bid
der, a. 1t were, and he who bid highest in promo
ting the aggrandinement of party gets the prize with
but itso regard t. his competency TO fill the post
In great measure official promotion has become as
VenAl in this Republic it in the degenerate
days OF the Roman Empire, when sold out at public
auction.
Such have been the practical results Of the organ
zlon of party, under the motto that ITO the vicors
belong the spoils and the assiduous efforts to hold
that party together by studied system Of spills dis
tribution The fruits of it the people have had fully
exhibited to them within tho last six months The
system hss not been confined to the Federal appoint
ments, but has been adopted in State governments
where the party now dominant in the Federal councils
have the ascendancy. In our own State we have il
strikingy illustrated To be connected with the mi
nority party is madO sufficient offence for proscrr
tion from office even where party politics are not in
the least involved.
Under this system Of prescription towards the op-
posits party were the appointments conferred upon
those best capactated to fill them in the ranks of the
parry in power, tho evil would find some palia,ou.-
1t has gone beyond that however. Offices are TO be
bought by parthan service and those who would a.
pire to them given 10 understand what they have
TO depend upon. Those VIII, might be found with
higher qualifications are not the men TO get them on
such terms, aud the consequence is that the control
ofpubc Affairs falls frequently into the hands of
political hirelings.
