Rotation in Office.

1t seems to ba understood that
under the administration of President
Buchanan, the whole corps of the
chief olfict rs Of the United States
will be tured out, and new appointed
in their stead. On this question we
are willing the President shall consid-
er us not very sensitive. We believe
in reasonable and decent rotation.
There is no sort of sound reason or
republican philosophy in keeping
man in office all the days of his per-
haps otherwise, useless life, simply
because he does well. Are there no
no others who woll d do equally
as well? Does any officer discharge
more than his duty properly and
faithfully? Why then is he any more
entitled to perpetual gratitude and
remuneration than any other respect
able person who acts up to the
line of his duty? Why should "A
man be Postmaster or Custom House
Collector any longer than another
is allowed to preside at the head OF
affairs? All admit the propriety Of
having a GubernaForial election every
two years. Now why not apply the
principle to other officers? Our Sher.
ifs, Tax Collectors, Clerks, Commits.
sionefs in equity, &C., have to run
the gauntlet at least every four years
, and because man holds Office by
appointment, instead of election,
does it follow that he is never tC
rotate while his bond is untorfaited:
We think not.
In fine We think that the true
Democratic presumption is, that a
least, every four years a change
should be made, or else why are no
. the commissions given for only tha
length of time? Unless therefore
special evidence be adduced to rebu
6 this necessary presumption, why, lie
the Office pass into new hands. Q
the weight and character of this evi
dence the President and his Cabine
must be the only judges. They
have to make the elections and Their,
is no more reason OF property in pro
! testing against their exercise of dis
erection than there would be in protest
ing against the action Of the people
because, forsooth, one man had beer

The Richmond Why GA Know
NolhiagiSm.

The Richmond Wing, the most
powerful organ of the know nothings
in Virginia during the late Press
dentia, canvass, thus Jisparagiugly
speaks Of that party:
What we mean to asser. is, that
the result Of the presidential elec-
ton clearly demonstrated that the
American party has no existence at
all in many of the States, and only
a feeble and imperfect one in the
rest of them with a solitary excep-
ton in the case of Maryland. This,
however much it may be regretted,
is a fact, which no amount of repin.
ING or lamentation can now oblilerate
or reverse.
The question next arises, what are
the prospects for the American patty,
as national organization, for the flu
ture? We readily admit that in all
the Southern States it exists in large
and even formidable numbers; but
even in these its strength, as inlica-
ted in Move mber last, is far less than
was ever that of the old wlIig party,
and in the instance OF Kentucky, a
State that never once faltered in its
devotion to Whigism, the Ameri
can party was utterly routed and
overwhelmed. These are the facts
in reference to the American party;
as they existed in the States at the
South. Nor is there any prospect
SO far as we can judge, Of its being
Terminated and revived. 1t has
been almost completely annihilated
and absorbed by the democratic and
black republican parties; and we
really think there is no earthly hope
of its rising upon the ruins" O
either, in any reasonable period o
time, if it be possible ever"
