aSnrr Me from Mr Frlrnds.p

Our attention has been called 10 the reasons,
given by a cotemporury, why a certain gentle-
man now holding Office in this county, should
be continued in Place.
We bave always understood that Offices are
created from necessity, un1 for the accomoda-
tioa ard benefit Of the peoples; that the person
holding the Office is the agent Of the whole
community and, by the laws OF the lund, res
quired TO faithfully, ippartially and honestly,
perform CERTAIN duties, and thst the laws un-
der which lie acts arc directed by the people;
that, when u man accepts on Office, he is
bound to perform the duties thereof 1rrespce,
tive Of party consideration, Ond must, there
tore, be a servant Of the whole people aHd not
OF a party.
One rca son., strongly urged, why the people
Of this county, for the bird time, md. per-
haps, Tor all time to come, should ~rc-elect D..
G.. Pinkerton 10 the Office Of Probate Judge
is set forth in tLese woTGs:
ID. G. PMKEgoS, the candidate for Pro-
bate Judge, is known by every body MS the in-
~veterate and indomitable worker for the party
that placed BIN in power two years ago, ard
who will, because OF his duty well perform,
cd . ~rescleet him to the office for which lie
has been put in nomination. The Union or.
ganization Of Morgan County should know
that it is to his efforts, zeal and activity that
their past success is in a great MEASURE due,
and also that he should know that the part he
has taken has been appreciated BY them.
Iithe great and conservative principle Of
rotation in Office, heretofore observed by al
political parties, is to DO ignored aud set
aside, then, aud in that ease, I'VE think -. g,
Pinker,op has about.as strong q claim 10 u
life. OsAa te in the Probate Jndgcship as any
other live man; and, moreover, If no one can
he found to Gil the Office upon honest and cor
rect principles, such as have heretofore gov
erued parties, we would be i~ncliugd to agree
to dispense with an election altogether and
let the Office Of Probate Judge of this county
be created a life Office and be called, not {
Freedmeu's Political Bureau, but a Polilica
Pandoras box, containing innamerable politi
cal evils, from which, when opened, counties

10 Some time ago Prince Frederick Charles,
now the victorious PrussiSn General wrote and
printed a pamphlet, the object of which was to
show how the French are TO be beaten. In sub
stance IL maintained that the secret ofthe military
success Of the French lay in their being drilled TO
celebrity Of movement in the field The remarkable
campaign In Geimany is one proof thatthe Prince
has not neglectedto carly into practice the pre-.
cep4s he laid down. But the literary history of the
pamphlet Is curious. Printed at frft only for Dri.
yate circulation among the authors friends, a copy
fell into the hands ola Frankfort bookseller, Who
at on ce published The tract. For this he vas
prosecuted. A French translation Of the pamphlet
also appeared, but an English translation was de.
cliDed by a London publisher, on the ground that
relations with France at that time. were too dolicqte
to bear telling with.

The Rump Congress.

Congress has adjourned. The Telegraph
so announces, and iherein the wires have
COMMUNICATED TO the whole country the
most welcome intelligence Of the year.
This Congress is emphatically q rump
affair, and OF so NANCY a character, that
the loot OF every honest man ia i%nconti-
men lly raised to kick il out OF the way
The history Of such bodies may be
searched in vain fol it's parallel in e2traY-
agance, corruption, profigacy and imbe-
c:li,y. The country is burdened With an
Onor debt, and tho people oppressed
with excessive taxes, yet this Congress
%Squandered money. md added to the
public burdens, as if there was no debt
and no taxes, and no bottom to the
peoples purses. The Radical members
will be apt, however. to discover that
there is a limit TO the peoples patience,
and that revolt against oppression is a
natural trait OF the American character.
Not only has Congress benn profigate,
s%quaudering the public money. and nd
ding additional burdens on the backs of
the people already heavily oppressed by
taxes, but /; has en~deayored 10 take poll
tical power from the people and add 10
that ofthe Government. A contemporary

Expressions Of centuries, our Congress

has been aiming to make tho Government
every thing and the people nothing-to
build up Rristocratic classes 10 rule and
