The Canadian ministry has brought a hor.
nets nest about its ears. 1t Is charged that
the Hon. MI. Mackenzie has removed a gov
eminent employee on account of his political
opinions. The person discharged was only a
gardener at a blind asylum, anthis salary was
but four hundred dollarsa year; butthe act was
enough to raise public indignation and excite
the newspapers to bitter reproaches. The
Courier says that to Mr.. Mackenzie must for
ever attach the disgrace of introducing one of
the most pernicious and corrupt practices of
the United States-a practice which has well
nigh sapped the foundations Of the American
Government and rendered the administration
of Justice a by-word and a farce. Such a fuss
about the dismissal of a gardener must seem
very absurd to the supporters of our National
Administration, who appear to think that the
first, duty Of ofice-holders Is to sustain each
other In power, and arrogantly dominate over
the people who pay for the bread they eat and
the clothes they wear.
