cal Aspects OF the Slavery Questions Editors Table
We have read several Of the articles and find than well
written and Astounding in sound democratic sentiments Inc
article on Rotation in ofce-Re eligibility IS an answer,
and we thnka conclusive one to article on the same
subject which appeared in the FIRST number OF the REVIEW
and which felt it duty to notice in the On'on we
think the following extract from the article in the present
number presents view of the question which unan-
swerable:
'But aside the question, to whether reegibity
to office is not adhered to- the question of making non
reegby party principle, Of adopting IL into the settled
creed of the democratic party writers seem anxious
to do and boldly advocate in the highest degree PERM
cous This question which should be LETT to every period

Amongst the articles under the head of the editors
Table" find the following wellmerted compliment to
Mr. Hendricks, the Commissioner of the General Land
Office
"HoS. THOMAS A. HEsDRIoKs.-We intended, in the
number examine length the elaborate and able
report of the Commissioned of the General Land Office Mr.
Hendricks has proved himself not only worthy the position
which he holds but capable of dsbagng the duties OF any
situation under the His presentation OF the
condition of public lands should be carefully examined by
all. The subject is full of interest," and particularly to the
numbers who will migrate in the spring from the East
make their homes in the distant West. The people may
rest assured that their common inheritance-he public
lands of the United Sates safe in the hands OF one who
will guard their rights with eageeye not only against the
Vaccinations heavy monopoes but the continual schemng
private spectators and swnders. of the unsul
lied integrity, the legal ability and the extensive acquaint
with the affairs of government possessed by Mr.
Hendricks is honor to any administration, and we doubt
not many will pass before one so well qualified Tor the
situation which he holds will be called to take his place.
Under the head a short editorial announce
ment that the next number of the Review will contain
reply at length the arguments advanced in the Wash
ngton Union in opposition to the sngle-erm principle
1t will be recolleced that in comments upon the prop
oson advocated by the Review confined ourselves to
the general question whether the singeerm principle as
applicable the presidency ought to be incorporated into
the democratic platform of the articles of party
creed We regret learn that Mr. Bue to persist
in this effort to add plank to the democratic plat
form but since such is his purpose will invite his at
enon to another objection his former article which we
purposey omitted to notice-we alude to the attack
made in that article the present incumbent of the exec
uve chair By way of illustrating and enforcing his
gumen in favor OF the sngeterm principle the revewern
duges in charges against President Pierce which he will find
it quite as impossible sustain convince the demo-
cratic party that they ought adopt the doctrine of ne
gby as article in their national creed These charges
indicate partisan feeling in regard to the succession
which is wholly of place in national democratic re-
view The paragraph in which they made is as fol-
lows:
"Bu what are facts in the under the recognition
the right of reelgibity The President is hardly in
stalled in office before be to the cards OF
politics for re election. There have been exceptions in the
history the country, but they Who does not
know that at this time gigantic effort foot in
the next National Convention presidential succession
Every interest be made ubseryien to this great result
and every press United States that dares to question
the propety such Is TO be expelled by regular
edct democratic party The great question for US to
consider H. whether the body of the democracy shall nom
nate President, whether that nomination shall be made
through the influence of government patronage All the
wires Of power actually operating In
favor of succession thousands of officials expected to
devote considerable share of their attention to the matter
In various portions of the country meetings have already
been called designed to prepare the democratic mind for
second edition of the volume of 1882
We undertake to deny each and all of the allegations
here made against President Pierce and venture to pre-
dict that the reviewer will fail Sustain single Of
his assertions which mpues to the President improper
of his executive patronage for the purpose Of securing
a denomination The reader will discover in the foregoing
paragraph the charges which opponents have
threadbsre times past in their assaults upon former
democratic Presidents We regret to them revived in
a review which contains much sound democratic senti
ment and which hoped TO see conducted with strict
impartiality to II the charges true however
1t incumbent the reviewer sustain them and If he
should fail do las fail he w he must expect to
his Review treated deficient in element Of national
ity-strict impartiaty between democratic statesmen
