the same means Of obtaining living
that are enjoyed by the millions who
never held Office. The proposed linn
itation would destroy the idea of
property, now so generally connected
with official station; and although
individual distress may be sometimes
produced, it would, by promoting
that rotation which constitutes a lead
ing principle in the republican creed,
give healthful action to the system"
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1886-05-01
Is Rotation in Office Democratic Doc
trine, or Was Andrew Jackson
in Error When he Taught
this Doctrine?

The people complain of the want of
faithfulness and efficiency on the part
of public servants. In this democatic
government of ours there is a feeling
amongst the people that our officers
would be our masters and not our SER
wants.
This feeling is not that produced by
democratic practices, but by a de-
parture from good democracy.
Whatever tends to make the office
holder look upon his officeas species
of property in which he has and
ought to have some kind of continu-
ing right is undemocratic and injuri-
Gus to the public service.
We call attention to the words of
Andrew Jackson, which, just at this
time, remind us that democracy
means that the people are supreme
and that the offices were created for
the public good and not as an inheri-
lance for any man or set of men. He
says:
"There are perhaps few men who
can for any great length of time en-
joy office and power, without being
more or less under the influence of
feelings unfavorable to the faithful
discharge Of their public duties.
Their integrity may be proof against
improper considerations Immediately
addressed to themselves; butthey are
apt to acquire habit Of looking with
Indifference upon the publicinterests,
and of tOlerating conduct from which
an Impractical man would revolt.
Office is considered as a species of
property; and government rather as
a means OfprOmoting individual IN
terest, than as an instrument created
solely for the service of the people.
Corruption in some, and in others a
perversion of correct feelings and
principles, divert government from
its legitimate ends, and make it an
engine for the support of the few at
the expense of the many. The duties
of all public officers are, or, at least,
admit of being made so plain and
