McEwen, of the Dcinocratic ScntiiUl, freely, and. gladly, asdic said, signed the only petition asking for the recent change of post masters, at Rensselaer that was ever filed iit the postolHce department at Washington- To the partiality of that gentleman as much as to the favor of any other citizen of RensselaeY. will the new appointee be indebted for his commission, shall the department see fit tri confirm its preliminary action. Fpr this mark of a political, opponent's personal esteem this public acknowledgment is but a small token of the gratitude that is felt illy Mr. James. The discourteous allusion of the Warsaw Northern Lulkujian to-those publishers who avail themselves of the advantages of the co-operative newspaper plan, made in a late long article discussing the Peru posttoflice succession, is ndt only undignrftcrty but is also unkind to a class of gentlemen whose admiration ami complimentary notices of that paper have been without stint. Besides being discourteous, unkind, undignified and ungrateful, the sneer comes with very bad grace from a pen scarcely rested from the praise of its own ability to edit auxiliary sheets and from its obsequious beggar-like importunities for the orders of the men that elect to use them. Whatever proficiency the Northern Indi'tnian- may justly elaiTn oversoTne OnisTeslT f<>M Innate and at the same time less pretentious colh agues, in some of the departments of journalism, there are quite bumble ones of 'whom it might tnko Hhlfi * ulxlw Lmlu/xux: «n ilwx mi'afouium-. guishiug ma?ks of gentility, good breeding and .the higher and more perfect standard of ci vilisation which are so becoming at all limes to men and newspa; ers.

Useless. —-No republican official, newspaper or private Citizen can over please,or win the approv:.! of democratic politicians; and it is not. Ohly unprofitable bnt itj.s a foolish .waste of time and thought to try to conciliate and make friends of them, No matter how sincere, Ifonest or.’ patriotic a republica.n may be, his character will be traduced, bis motives maligned and his honor assailed with a malignancy that can not oHgiimte in purity or disinterestedness, or a,sincere regard for the public good. Democratic officials who employ republican subordinates are so lew that it is doubtful if their peT eentage exceeds otic in a thousand. Illiberulity characterizes them everywhere and in all conditions. ’ ——— - , Marble and ball playing are not i the .most appropriate ways to obI serve the Sabbath dav: yet tlkse I ' _t • ■ Z : I games life indulged in by the young | men and urchins of I’ensselaer to an extentithat does not speak we|l for their religions i;ißiriictioi>, their o bed i enw-.-ofi-tewy-er- the- -etv i Hza< i lion of their parents.
