"The wild Hunt. /,


Accounts from every source in and about
Washington concur in representing the
press of ofice-seekers as unparalleled. At
no time in the previous history of the gov
eminent, has the crowd Of applicants for fe-
deral patronage been SO great, so persistent
and resolute, so stubborn and memorable.
Not alone the President, but the heads of
the Departments, are besieged from early
dawn to late hours of the night, by the
hungry crowds that swarm around them,
and attend all their movements. Mr. Bu-
chanan bears up under it with fortitude
and resignation worthy Of much better
cause; but he is sadly in want Of rest and
repose He stands in the midst of the
trumult, as long as he is physically able,
showering upon the shameless and ignoble
multitude, the blessings of Office; and then
worn down, retires, but return again, still
unrefreshed to his labors. BE cannot find
a tranquil hour to commune with his dear
est and most valued friendS-they cannot
gain access to his presence. Already APP
prehensions for his health have gone forth;
and these, it is likely, are not unfounded.
General Cass exclaims in tones of entreaty,
for some of the "frmness of Jackson "; and
Mr.. Cobb does not disguise his feelings up
on the subject, having said that, if this
state of things were likely to continue three
months longer, he would not hesitate to re-
sign at once, and go home. The delega-
ton from New York, finding it utterly and
hopelessly impracticable, TO gain the Pres
ident's ear, recently held a public meeting,
at Wizards Hotel, for the purpose of ex-
pressing their feelings upon the subject of
the New York appoin tments. At this
meeting, list of its preferences was duly
made, and the Secretary required to pre-
sent copy of the proceedings to the Pres
ident; after which Capt. Rynders addressed
the meeting.
Mr.. Buchanan, by adopting the princi-
pie of rotation, has not only plunged him
self into vast sea of perplexity, but has
placed in bold relief the mcdesty and deli
cacy of feeling which pervade the demo-
cratic ranks, upon the subject of seeking
and holding Offices

Disposition of the Public Lands-Justice
of the Old states.


Towards the close of the last regular
Session of Congress, our venerable Sena-
tor, JOHN BELL, introduced a bill in the
Senate, to give to each of the Old States
of the Union, and such as have never had
grants of land or money from the Federal
government, an amount, in money, equal
to the value of the lands so granted to
other States. In another column of this
mornings Patriot, our readers will find
copy of the Bill. We commend it to their
consideration, believing that it will, as it
ought to, secure the general appreciation of
the people of Tennessee, irrespective of
party 1t will be seen, upon inspection,
that the bill does rot seek to bring about
general distribution of the public lands,
nor of the proceeds thereof; but simply to
place the States of the Union, North and
South, East and West, upon footing of
perfect equality, in receiving the gratuitows
assistance of the government in their works
Of internal Improvement. The national Leg
islature has been in the habit, for several
years of making munifcent donations of land
in alternate sections, to aid the Western and
Northwestern States in the construction of
their railroads and canals. 1t is now pro-
posed by Senator Bell, to take an account
Of the lands SO granted, estimating their
value at one dollar and quarter per acre,
the usual government price; and having as
certained that amount in money, to pay to
those States which have never received any
such grants, similar sum-aScertaining
the amount coming to each State, accord
ing to the relative proportion of pcpula-
ton. This is a measure Of justice to the
old States, which no one, it is presumed,
will have the hardihood to gainsay. 1t is
q justice, which if promptly carried out,
would, so far as this State is concerned, be
most opportune and seryicable. Since Ten
nessee has adopted the policy of aiding in
building the railroads projected within her
own borders, and Of advancing means to
the amount Of ten thousand dollars per
mile, the proposition of Mr.. Bell, would
certainly afford very great assistance to
the State, and by SO much, enhance the
general wealth and prosperity of the State.
But we did not purpose an argument upon
this subject in this place, but desire simply
to call the attention Of our readers to this
subject, and TO the Bill
