RETRIBUTIVE JCSTICE. Our political abolitioniits, who managed to defeat the election ol Mr. Clay, jhave caught a Tartar. His rapier is already under their fifth rib. They have indirectly elevated to the Presidential chair one who, even before he takes the chair, denounces them. He van do so without the charge of ingratitude, for lie never encouraged their conspiracy to defeat his rival. On the contrary, he to'.d them if they took him, they must 'akeTexes with him They accepted the terms, and both have come in the one to cover their councils w ith odium
and the other to extend the curse of slavery.
Had some malignant spirit blasted the mental vision of these men , or pushed reason from her throne of light, we might find in the moral absurdities of their conduct something to pitv
and forgive. But no plea of insanity can avail them. They had their reason unimpaired, and claimed to have their conscience in full play. Their work of misery and mischief was deliberately planned and deliberately executed. Had they been avowed advocates of annexation and slavery, they could not have more effectually promoted their aims. They merit, so Tar as the election it concerned, the lasting gratitude of the South. The rebuke of the new President is the unkindeol cut of all. Ii was not enough that the whole democratic del

their cause, however, still remain, and will yet take root, though they have, in their suicidal follies, thrown on them the mildew of dealh. Bring, then, these germs to light the light of
conscience. Let the past be steeped inpeni-j tence. Let not the pleading rights of the oppressed be again sacrificed on the altar of tin-1 hallowed ambition. Place this cause once more where God and the human conscience

In this country in her prosperity the mass of the people have a common interest the whig fanner and the whijj mechanic, and the democratic farmer and democratic mechanic, are slike injured or benefitted by the national dispensations of Providence, and by any given policy oT government.

A BEAUTIFUL IDEA. At a late public meeting in New Yoilr, says
the Telegraph, ihe Rev. J. Spaulding dwelt a
rew moments on the deathless nature and exlent or moral influence. "Away among the Alleghanies," said he, "there is a spring so
small that a single ex in a summet's day could drain it dry. It steals its unobtrusive av a-
mong the hills, till it spreads out in the beautiful Ohio. Thence it stretches away a thousand miles, leaving on its banks more than a
young man chew ing hundred villages and cities, and many thous
and cultivated farms; and bearing on its bosom
more than half a thousand steamboats. Then
joining the Mississippi, it stretches away and
away some twelve hundred miles more, till it
falls into the great emblem of etemitv. It is one of ihe tributaries or that ocean, which,obedient only to God, 6hall loll and roar, till the
angel w ith one foot on the sea, and the other
on the land, shall lift up his hand to Heaven and swear that lime shall be no longer. So

applications for oflice will be adhered to until
a reform of that matter is effected.
"The system w hich has heretofore prevail
ed of besieging the White House, and of pres
sing upon the President their applications with unceasing importunity, must be reformed. A
proper self-respect, and the necessity of discharging the Executive duties with dignity and efficiency, alike require that the annoying hab
it of continuous personal solicitation, should be greaty diminished. It would Si-em to be a
natural dictate of common sense, to suppose that ihe man who after presenting his application for an office, would remain for weeks, to
annoy and importune the President with personal solicitations, would scarcely possess that
dignity and manliness of character which
would best fit him for the office desiied. -
