There is nothing stirring in the political
world, except the excitement natur al to the
incoming of new administration. Thou
sands of spoils-hunters are in dreadful state
of excitement, and "moving heaven and
earth" to get office. Not only is Washing
ton full of them, but wherever there is an
Office in the country, the aspirants swarm
Almost every town and village has sent its
Office seekers to the Capitol. Our own city
is represented by several hungry gentleman
two or three of whom will most likely come
home sucking their fingers.
But "to the victors belong the spoils,' al
ways has been the motto of the Democratic
party, so long as victory perched upon their
banners Yet but short time since, they
were abusing the late Wing administration
for every thing mean and rascally, because it
saw fit to turn Locos out of Office and place
honest Wings in their stead. 1t was ter
rible thing, indeed, that Wing administra-
ton should, even in limited manner, adopt
this select Locofoco principle. They had
been chopping off heads for years, every OPP
portunity, but they never discovered the hor-
rid attrocity of such conduct, till the tables
were reversed, and Democrats hurled from
Office. Then they yelled and swore in their
agony, and wondered amazingly that such
wickedness should belong to the Wing party.
But again they are victorious, and now not a
Wing Office holder need hold on to his ears ia
keep his head safe. Its bound to 60, and he
might as well submit with good grace. Mr..
Pierce told him SO in plsin terms in his Inau-
gural, and his very political existence de-
ponds upon chopping off heads.
