In looking over the Democrat of last scck, we
notice the usual number ofcandidatcs announced
for Democratic honors. Although, most Of their
names have appeared for many years past, aud
are familiar to every household as Office seekers,
who still persist In Offering their services to their
country, md pretend that they were strongly
urged to do SO, and had been selected as tho
most competent persons to fill these offices. If
the government docs not soon create more off,
ccs so these aspirants win have an opportunity
to serve thor country, much valuable talent and
important services will be lost.
