The editor of the PaEadi,sn, having served
long in the ranks Of the Democratic party in this
State, leader, in company with Boutwell,,
Banks, Butler, Hazewell, Josslyn. &C., knows
we'll how 70 appreciate the sang trOid with which
the old coalisionists must meet their fate in the
appointments to national offices jim this State,
under President Buchanan, by whom general
sitting has been made of all incumbents Of the
preceding administration, supposed in any way
to have ever been tnctured with favor of coalition
with the Free Sellers. Such men as Hallet, Joss
lyn, Ct "a oR.ne genus, have been dropped like hot
potatoes, and only the intensest hunksrs of the
Brad Wales stripe, like Austin, and others, put
in responsible positions. Among the unfortun
ates is Lewis Josslyn, who used to fill his paper
(the Lynn Bay State) with as strong antislavery
sentiment as any regular F ee Soil paper. But,
fer receiving an appointment under Pierce.
rom the moment Caleb Gushing issued his ukase
that coalitiunism was to be knitted Josslyn chang
ed his tune, and has since made his paper one
Of the most intensely pro-slavery Of any in the
State Accordingly, as Buchanan came
in, he commenced wholesale commendation OF
his course, in every particular, devoting a couple
Of columns to fulsome biographical eulogy of
Collector austin, upon the latter's appointment,
thinking it might be the means Of saving his
own head from the guillotine which had been
threatened upon all who ever favored the cOali
ton heresy; Josslyn having reaped the pecunia-
ny profits Of that coalition in two years Clerk,
ship, of the House. But the axe fell on him,
nevertheless, in spite of his four years fawning
aud sycophancy, teaching him good lesson for
the future, which we trust he will not soon forget.
Whiting Griswold, B. F. Butler, and other
prominent coalition worthless. are left to bemoan
the same fate with Hallet and Jossyn. The
Palladium PHILOSOPHERS on this matter of Pres
dent Bnchanan's removals and appointments, in
its Characteristic iocose vein, in this wise;
A friend of ours had luxuriaut strawberry
bed, which had become overrun with that inter-
usting vegetable known as the pig weed A
professional gardner came along, in the shape
OF fresh importation from Ireland, and he was
directed to weed out the strawberry bed. Ex-
aiming the work when the Job was completed,
our friend found his strawberry vines laid in
pile. and the pig weeds rearing up their heads
though they were delighted at their improved
condition. Mr. Buchanan has been wedding out
the Democratic strawberry bed in Massachusetts
and in imitation Of the Irishman, he has pulled
up the vines that bear fruit, and left the pig
weeds to grow and where there were none be.
fore he has transplanted some, in order to get
full crop for the sake of saving the seed.
He has removed Lewis Josslyn. editor of the
Lynn Bay State, from the Office of the Surveyor
of the port of Salem, and appointed venerable
Wing in his place. Mr. Josslyn was Coalition
list in 1851, and approved of the policy of manag-
ing matters in Massachusetts, without dctaton
from Washington There was Mr. Hallet, an
other Of the strawberry vines, though not fruit
bearer; he approved of the coalition far as to
beg for some Of the appointments in its gift; and
he has been pulled up. There is Gen. B. F. But,
Ter (once colonel)-he was Coalitionist and
has felt the manipulation of the Cabinet. al
though his adherence to the party in 1856 did
more to preserve its waning fortunes in Massa-
chusetts than that Of any other man. Whiting
Griswold is also another of the Strawberries of
the coalition garden, which Buchanan has flung
like worthless weed away. The pig weeds,
that now have the executive culture, are what
used to be called the Brad Wales party, who
bolted from the Fitchburg Convention in 1852 /;
together with such other specimens Of like char
aeter the relicts Of lost parties, as have been
picked up by the wayside, transplanted, and la
beled Democrats
