PRUsPEcT or THE KUfURK.

h The Baltimore American observes With
much force and truthfulness' that practically
chs government is becoming an elective aris-
tocracy. A particular set Of men receive q
public allowance in money which supports
them 10 idleness. and initiates them with an
imaginary consequence. so long as that allow
ance is continued. With these men the most
important question Is how they may continue
this official existence, how they can best ex-
change II for higher political title and
moro lucrative salary. or, being compelled to
resign its aattering distinction. to whom they
can most advantageously transfer or bequeath
it, This il American politics, and this is the
history Of politics in sll times under all gov
ernments Do We therefore despair Of the
Republic? BY no means. There is as much
private virtue, heroism, as many men capable
Of sacrificing themselves for their country as
ever. Perhaps more. for Lord North persisted
AZ q reason for his obstinate perseverance in
bis war of sabjnga.ion in asserting that an inn
mtnse number Of the colonists were disaffect-
ed. The men oftbat period were neither bet

psessions and danger created demand for
courage and patriotism. and they we're demon
strated to an extent never surpassed. Peace,
a'redundsnt Treasury, and the ambition of
living upon the labors Of others. present a
premium for intrigue. adnIation, and dishon-
esty. and our political exchange swarms with
knayes willing to barter any interest which
they may have in the country or its institu-
,ions for public or private goli. To them the
names Of Wings OF democrat 'Hards' or
'Sofss, are the designation Of certain great po-
litical stocks, which they bull or bear aocor-
