r In the year 1871 in the Senate Of the

United States, the Hon. Franklin-subse-
auently General-now President Pierce,
made furious speech against removals from
Office, for opinions sake. In his inaugural
address, he boldly proclaimed the doctrine
of .no friends to reward, no enemies to pun
ish" and yet in the language of leading
Democratic paper, 'the guliotine rams as
smooth as OIL" The Times says; "The off,
cial organ Of the administration comes to us
every day freighted with new and terrible
bill Of mortality. The mortuary records of
a great city in cholera times would bear no
sort of comparison with the official regstra-
tons of the Washington Union. The twin
demons of Pestilence and Famine are abroad
in the Federal city--pestilence among the
Whigs-famine among the Locofocos.
The New York Herald compliments the
Wings highly'for the decorous fortitude with
which they meet their fate. We hear no
eroans and shrieks from any quarter, and we
trust that our friends will continue to pre-
serve their present dignifed and unconlplain-
ing demeanor, even though not one Wing
Official should be left between the Atlantic
and Paefc oceans as monument of Demo-
cratic clenancy. The contrast between the
bearing Of the Wings at this time and that of
their opponents under similar reverse of
fortune four years ago, is remarkable and
striking. No sooner had Gen. Taylor CO M
menced the work Of removing Democrats
from Office than the public ear was greeted
with clamor such as was never before heard
in the land The Democracy yelled, rayed,
swore, CRASHED their teeth, tore their hair,
and played all manner of fantastic tricks be-
fore high heaven The columns of their
newspaper press were devoted almost exclu-
sivcly to abuse Of the administration for its
proscriptiye policy. Three-fourths of their
editorials were headed-ssThe Guillotine at
Work''-"Ths Axe in notion .sBloody
Doings," &c. Rpbespierrc, Marat, Danton,
Nero, Caligula, Domitian, and other worthless
of the same stripe figured extensively in the
lucubration of our locofoc contemporaries
about that time, aad found their comparatives
IN the men who composed Gen Taylor's ad-
mlnistration- In word, il was with curses
both loud and deep, that rhs Democratic par
tyylelded to the necessity that divorced them
partially from the spoils. We repeat that
the contrast here presented is one highly hon.
orable to the Wings and of which they may
well be proud"
VI tins we complain not, neither should q
solitary murmur escape the lips of single
Wing IN the Union. They all knew well
how much reliance could be placed in Dem
ocratic doctrines" upon this subject, and
how much Of consistency" was to be cx-
pected,-that between their preaching and
practice, there is no connection, the first was
and is, and ever will be intended for others
the latter for themselves. We say Let them
enjoy their temporary triumph, the hour Of
retrlbution will come, when the people the
"supreme power" in the land will rise in tbei,
might, to revenge their wrongs, and yiudi-
cate their rights.

The Jersey Rescue Celebration ut Syracuse

The Ney York Herald says:
son Saturday last the abolitionists, (includ-
ing the Bloomers,) of Syracuse and the sur.
rounding country celebrated the anniversary of
the rescue of the fugitive slave Jerry from the
officers of the law, in that village two years ago.
This in itself was piece of fanatical folly of
very little consequence; but our reports say
that at a special meeting of the common coun-
Gil, by the casting vote of Mayor Mccarthy, the
use Of the City Hall was given for the celebra.
tion, and this fact gives to the affair very con-
siderable importance. 1t makes the official au.
thorties of Syracuse the endorsers of mob law
in the rescue of fugitives slaves. 1t degrades
the Office of the Mayor of Syracuse to the dis.
reputable and unlawful acts and purposes of
our most rampant abolitionists.
As the chief administrator Of the laws Of the
village, nothing could be palmer than the off.
cial duty of Mayor Mccarthy in this case. It
was simply his duty to sustain the laws of the
land and to refuse peremptorily the slightest
official countenance of this scandalous jubilee
The next step of the civil authorities Of Syra-
cuse will probably be to devote the City Hall
to the sheltering of fugitive slaves, under tha
combined protection of the police and the abo-
litionists. No, gentlemen of the south, the agi-
tation of the slavery question is not yet ended.
There will be more work. in due time, for ths
Castle Garden Union Safety Committee.
