Our Government,

Whittier tending? Upwards or
downwards ? To virtue, equity and
truthfulness, or to selfshness, decep-
ton, destruction and revolution .
These are questions of the highest
importance to all who appreciate the
true spirit of our Democratic Govern
ment, and free, civil, and religious
institutions. 1t is admitted by all
partisans in politics, that any means
is justifable to obtain a victory over
the party in power; that honesty,
truthfulness and justice, are not bind
ing upon the best of politicians in
the warfare for office. And from
past and present exhibitions coming
to light in every section of the Uni
ted States and Territories, officers,
single and in confederation, like the
New York Custom House, the Tam
many Ring, the Leet & Stocking job,
the Erie Railroad robbery-all, down
to postmasters and mail agents, are
well agreed to steal all within their
reach and aid each other in escaping
justice. This state of things is tend
ing to destruction, and no people
in the world could or would stand it
so long as we have. Is not the
President appointing and shielding
these bummers of the Republican
party at this very time, when he
should lead "ciWl reform 2" His ap-
pointments have been of this stamp
from the beginning, if the best men of
the Republican party are not liers.-
His management with the New York
Custom House Officers, who had
swindled enormously, and became
very obnoxious to the best men in the
city, is conclusive proof that the
highest officer in the government is
making use of any and every means
to retain his place and power. How
long are such things to continue 3
This is the question of the hour, and
one of great moment to the Ameri-
can people.

Where is our darling little baby,
The tiny feet upon the floor,
And the little voice that called,
Papa, Mamma, at the door.
She has gone from earth to heaven,
From us mortals here on earth
And her soul is pure and stainless
. As on the morn that gave her birth.
We will not mourn her ABSENCE
Or wish her back within
This weary world Of sadness
This wicked world Of sin.
She has gone to heaven,
Where all is pure and bright
And every thing within the gate
Shines with golden light
Our little babe, we bid adieu,
Since we can see thee here no more,
We hope in heaven to meet you,
Upon that bright and blissful shore.

Regarding the defalcation of Gen.
Stannard, Collector of Customs for
Vermont, the st. Albans Messenger
says that for some time past when his
account have been forwarded to the
Treasury Department there has been
constantly accumulatin!g deficit, The
income of the position is said to have
been about $4,000 per year during
the first four years ofMr Stannards
term, and not less than $4,000 per year
during the last two. So that in the six
years he has drawn and used,
in the whole, between 100000 and
100000. The messenger accounts
for the losses on the ground that the
General had always been much in the
society of politicians and ex-army
officers, who were always free livers,
