Appointipe opponents to once.

The Legislature adjourned last week in or
der to give the democratic members time to
attend the State Convention and Inauguration
of President Buchanan, SO that little of in
terest has transpired beyond the confirmation
of DR.. Dewitt, who was re-nominated bv
Governor Pollock as State Librarian! 1t has
been the misfortune of almost every whig ad-
ministration, and in later days those elevated
to power by the opponents of democracy, to
place themselves upon their " dignity" or
some other absurdity, and SO far forget all
obligation to party friends as not only to
overlook their claims, but do a serious injury
by appointing its opponents to Office. Most
working politicians go into a canvass with
the expectation in case of success that they
Will reap share Of the rewards. and this
system has been SO long followed by all par
ties that change Of Office is looked for as a
matter OF course on the accession Of a new
administration Of different politics from the
| preceding one. Now was there no Wbir, no
| American, no Republican at Harrisburg who
could have filled the office Of State Librarian
/ quite as ably as the present incumbent, who
Is well known as 4 good democrat, and as
such was appointed by Governor Bigler p
Such question needs no answer, for almost
any one could name half a dozen worthy
men at that place who spent their time and
means in furthering the election of Governor
/ Pollock, while DR.. Dewitt was either living
on his oars, or perhaps aiding his democratic
/ friends in making votes for Bigler. The

that they are highly ''magnanimous" in thus
