"COuntry Before Part, ."

The voice Of the people, irrespective Of party.
Is clearly for the union Of all true friends Of tho
country upon one state ticket, this fall in order
that the voice Of the state may be more efreotu-

zee lingering instances to say the least, q party
Inconsistency, on the part Of the Admjnist ration
and some Of its important official subordinates
| The removal Of good and true friends of the
Union. who, with BurLER, and DIX. and
DCkfSsoS, happened to bc Dsinocr,ts. from
oihces Of more or less importance, in order to
make places for Republicans is an outrage upon
tie patriotism Of the nation and the cause Of tho
tnion, which should have been absolutely stop

not free from thi, compl int while il is
kn.wn, on tho other hand, that men entirely
u doscr,ir ING, anil vince sympathies, from asso-
ci ton or choice, are utterly antagonstic to the

Since the commencement Of the war, no voice
hls been clearer, and no sympaihics warmer in

those Of DASiEL =. DiCKiS,oS. Ills mastery

But this Is not all. Scarce a week had elapsed
after the publication, in this city. Of Mr. DICK
ISsoN's great speech, before the only brother Of

wa, on Friday last, removed from dcpntyship
in the naval Office.
| The influences which control in the Custom
House arr strange and mysterious. Tho in,t,n-
ccs we have cited certainly indicate that they
arr neither wise nor patriotic. 1t is evident that
the CAGGI.Its and the HCnMoSra and the CAS-
sInN \ of the Democratic party have friend nj
court who looks after their interests and wishe
successfully, while they are plotting opposition
and embarrassment to the Administration, IL no
open and effective treason. Aud it is intimate,
that this friend ut court may possibly be n

whose patriotic course he ha, not yet seen Il.
