COMMISSIONER OF THE LAND OFr1CE

COMMISSIONER OF THE LAND OFFICE.
The, New York Times correspondent,
writing on the 18th, says :-"Hon CYRus
ALDR1cH, of Minnesota, is mentioned by
many here for the office of Commissioner
of the General Land Office, under the in
coming Administration. His long expert
ence as Land Officer in the West, together
with his thorough knowledge Of the de-
tails of our land system, prominently
qualities him for the position
If Col. Aldrich will accept Of the po-
sition, which we very much doubt,
a more fitting appointment could not be
made. His eminent business capacity,
great energy Of character, and familiar.
ty with our land system and frontier
population, peculiarly qualify him for the
place.

Hon. SCHUYLER CoLrAx.-We o.
serve that a number of our exchanges
are suggesting the Hon. Schuyler Colfax,
as Post Master General, under President
Lincoln. A more prudent Counselor, or
better head of the Department, could not,
in our opinion, be found in the country.
We should deeply regret his absence from
the House Of Representatives, but in any
public capacity in which he may be
placed, the country may rely with i'm
plicit confidence upon his honor, capaci-
ty and integrity.

deemed of the utmost Importance. The

funds and for want Of a=better conveyance

Through the instrumentality of this
club, this county together with all tho
counties comprising the northwestern part
of the District were represented in the
District Convention, held at St: Cloud. =
We demanded a Representative. We said
to that Convention give US Vandyke for
our standard bearer, and we will pledge
ourselves to carry the Northwest, that
convention yielded to our demand. Mr.:
Vandyke received the nomination, and
whether our pledge was redeemed or not,
l refer you to the returns Of the late cleo
ton. These are some Of the things that
our club has accomplished. We started
with the determination to carry the North
West at all hazards. and judging FROM
the returns that have been received, l
think we have been eminently successful.
Then let us hear no more grumbling.-
Say what you will, this club has been a
tower of strength to the Republican party,
for it has succeeded in purging this sink
hole of Democratic fraud and corruption.
"The Rail-Splitters Banner" was then
sung by Mr.. Barr, and the Club adjourned
sine die, with uproarious cheers. A feast
Of good things was then served by Mrs.
Coloney, and music and dancing became
the order of the evening, which was kept
up until the wee sma' hou1s proclaimed

Secession and Treason.

BY our Geographic reports it will be
seen that South Carolina has passed an
ordinance Of secession, and that James
Buchanan by the wrath of God, President
Of the seDis- United States, has ordered the
commander at Fort Moultrie to surrender
If attacked, and to deliver over the U. s.
arms on demand Of South Carolina. This
last is calculated to exasperate Northern
men to the point Of sending an army to
retake the property thus reasonably Civ:
en- up; but We trust that even this will
not be allowed to force the Free States into
war with their weaker neighbors. Asa
pecuniary matter it would not pay. All
the U. s. property in the South is not
worth the cost in dollars of storming Fort
Moultr;e and there can be no glory to be
won in such war. To fight the Cotton
States would be the old Mexican war cow
ardice done over again-a strong man stri-
king cripple. To the South We would
have the North yield everything but prin-
ciple. 10 reccde from the position as
sumed that Freedom is national, Slavery
sectional, would stamp the Northern States
with cowardice. It would so stamp them
because the rights of others are at stake,
because it is question of worldwide in
terest-a principle on which our govern
mcnt was founded, because the Northern
States have just voted in defiance of all
the argument which could be brought to
bear OH the subject, to reinvigorate this
principle, and to yield to threats what is
denied to reason is the part Of poltroon.
But as regards U. S. property, all the
world knows that the Free States could
hold or retake every dollars worth in the
South, and their forbearance to DO so can
bring no disgrace, and involves no moral
wrong. Let the South keep the property
in their hands, and go in peace.
If this report of Buchanan's orders is
correct, he mas undoubtedly committed
overt acts Of treason against the Govern
ment he has sworn to serve; but he is
scarcely free moral agent. The burden
Of his sins lie at the door of those who
elected him-a man in his second child
hood to perform duties which require the
best capacity Of the best minds in the full
vigor of life. Mr. Buchanan must be all
of eighty-tour years Of age; and what
could any one expect of him but imbecility
especially when it is known that he has al
ways drank copious]y Of whiskey. Colonel
Benton and John Quincy Adams kept
their mental vigor to the last, but they
were strictly temperate. %; ~,
When the American people placed a
wine-bibber and dotard in the Presiden-
tial chair they had no reason to expect Of
him different result. They have no
right now to curse Mr.. Buchanan, for
there is not one man in ten thousand at
his age, who would be fit to ill the place
he occupies. Let the great, Free North,
zbe patient, and not. allow itself to be driv.
