THE RAT SMOKED OUT.-Booby Brooks, the
rat candidate for Governor, has at length been
smoked out of his hole; but, after lodging about
little under the tables and chairs, he has lodged
back again. We hope that the working printers,
however, who have suffered from his mean devices
to reduce their standard of wages, will smoke
him out again, and make his hiding place under
the floor too hot to hold him. He says this
charge of rafting is ian old enemy with a new
face" He thus virtually pleads guilty to being
an old hand at the business. He is, notwith-
standing, very indignant at the charge, AMI
parades card of the employees Of the ElPrcss
establishment, in which they say that lin proper
ton to the hours Of work, and the labor per-
formed, they have reason to believe" their pay
lis satisfactory as that of any other Office in
the State" This statement OF the case is drawn
SO very mildly that we suspect there is q catch
or dodge in it. Very likely, if these gentle
men are not now working as rats, they have had
their wages raised since the nomination OF Brooks
for Governor; for the general testimony of printers
who have worked in the Egpress Office and left il,
is that Erastus Brooks is a rat-an old rat, and
a hard old rat in money matters. Let US hear
from the printers who are not under the thumb
of Master Brooks: but who have tried him, proved
him, and condemned him as rat. There will
be no necessity to 90 to Canada, for o cloud Of
witnesses are nearer at hand. Smoke him out
again.

The REVEREND JOSEPH A. ScoyHAE DISMISS
ED-For sometime past the Rev. Joseph A. Sc :
vile has enjoyed the mixed commission Of pri-
vate chaplain, confessor and political translator
of George Law. But few days ago, we UNDER
stand the poor and pious chaplain, confessor and
translator was hauled up by the protective CON-
mittee of blood-suck surrounding George Law,
under the charge of high treason. We under
stand, further, that the specifications against the
poor and pious parson were that through his in
Huence in the HERALD Office he had caused the re-
cent articles appearing in our columns against
the said George Law to be written and published;
that he was talc-bearer and carried two faces
under one hat, &c. The decree Of the Court was
the igncminious dismissal Of the poor and pious
chaplain, confessor and translator, from further
service in those capacities, and what is to become
of him the Lord above only knows
In reference to the specifications against him.
We dare say that Scoville knew no more Of the
offending articles in the HERALD before their pub
LEGATION than George Law himself. Justice to all
parties, however, requires that the facts of this
late trial of Scovile before George Laws CON-
mittee of suckers should come out. We have a
right to demand them and, by way Of a begin
ming, we submit to the poor, pious and eycon-
municated parson the propriety and expedency
of full exposition of the whole matter to the
extent of his knowledge.

Spanish crown, and that now Is the time tc effect
the revolution
Lastly, the recent political changes in Spain
demand attention as incidents of note in the
general imbreglio. Spain has just exchanged .
moderate constitutional for decidedly despo-
tic government, and the men who have assumed
power are known to he daring, unscrupuious,
unprincipled. They are well aware that
the real Spanish dificuly has lain less in the in
subordinate disposition Of her people or the de-
PRAYED reputation Of her court than in the disor-
dered state Of her finances Money, which is the
sinew OF war, and the commonest Of all springs
Of revolution, has for years rendered the estab-
lishment of a stable government in Spain
sheer impossibility. To the pertinacious de-
mands of her English creditors SpSin has in.
variably when driven to the wall, presented
the same answer-the only one she had-revo-
luton; she will continue to do 50 until some new
method shall have been devised for the repletion
of her treasury. What method SO fair as a reco-
very of that old bad debt due by Mexico, by fair
or by foul means? What source of income so
promising as re-conquest of st. Domingo, and
is conversion into q second Cuba, with vast plan
tations worked by slave labor, and yielding
royal revenue?
There is sufficient plausibility in the hypothesis
to warrant inquiry. 1t would never do for US to
allow Spain to reeonquer St Domingo, or to be
come catspaw for England in bullying Mexico.
Humanitarian as well as political reasons forbid
the federation Of either enterprise. We desire
therefore to know what Mr.. Marcy has done to
prevent the accomplishment of any such designs
on the part of Spain; and if he has done nothing,
az there is some serious reason for suspecting we
wish to suggest the propriety Of some energetic
With the prospects we have in a Presidential
point of view, little foresight may spare us a
war hereafter.
