To maintain this ascendency of the people, it is necesiary that the .treat conservative principles, which j . . . tne Wftig party nave ever prorcssen snouiij to practised in good faith in all the de- j p ailments of the government that the j people should govern in all things consis lent with the constitution and spirit of our government. There is perhaps, nccessarily, an immense patronage placed in the bands of the Executive, which may be exerted for good or evil. Wherever this power can be submitted to tho decision ot the people, or whenever it is expedient to consult their wishes, it should bo done It was never intended that the offices within the gift, of the President and his cabinet should be dispensed with a view of rewarding partizan friends; but that I onest and capable men should be selected. In many instances, if not all, the people are better qualified to judge the abilities j of their neighbors than the president and his cabinet would be hence we think j that in many officers tho choice should be left to the people to select them, and let the proper authorities rnako the appointment. In the selection of post-masters, the head of the post office department could establish a rule that whenever a change of the post-mnster at any particular point is necessary, let an election be held, confining it to the township or incorporated towns, and whoever shall receive the highest vote, to him let the appointment be given. In many places a locofoco might be elected, but wo have Bo doubt good officers would be chosen; and in case he should prove incompetent or unworthy the people will apply the corrective. No post-master, either whig or loco, should be permitted to uso the influence of his office or station to sustain the administration from which he has received bis office. He should keep entirely alooffrom the active scenes of politics. His individual vote should be given with perfect freedom but his mouth should be sealed beyond this expression of will. We do not wish the people to encroach upon the rights of tho various departments as laid down in tho constitution and laws, but wo hope tho will of the people will be consulted whenever it can be consistent with the public interest. Wo hope no system of proscription will be tolerated by the incoming administrationlet no man be removed simply because ho has scted with tho democratic party and voted against Gen Taylor, but wherever an office holder has prostituted his official station by electioneering for the party in powerhe should be promptly removed, and his place filled by one who will not thus enter the political arena. Gen. Taylor has pledged that he will do this. He has promised to administer the government as it was conducted by the earlier presidents, and Jefferson deemed this interference in elections by officeholders as highly reprehensible, and sufficient cause of removal. It is perhaps a wise feature in our own as well as other State constitutions that persons connected with the regular army shall not bo permitted to vole under any circumstances. This was doubtless placed in the fundamental law of State governments from the fear that the military power might usurp to control the civil departments and to prevent the president from sending the army from one state to the other to control such elections. The history of the rise and fall of governments in the old world was sufficient evidence that danger from such a source was to be apprehended. We hope this feature of our government may ever be retained; but while we guard with so much zeal and jealousy the civil departments from all possible interference in elections by the army, have we not experienced that an army of office holders amounting to some one hundred thousand strong, have been the means of contributing much to the maintainance of tha power of the government in the hands of that party which regard the spoils ofj victory the legitimate reward of parti .nn loaders? They have been stationed in orery community, and in the discharge f their official duties, constantly brought in contact with the people they have been the organs and mouth pieces of the party al Washington, and tho most corrupting influences which party ingenuity eold invent have been carried out by fern. They hare been as subservient to the powers that reigned, and from which they tooeived their offices as the spy police of Jf apoleon, or tho vile and insidious agents of tbo otder ot Jesuits in the days of taetr power. They have been the tool nd spies of a locofoco inquisition. Sucb haa boon their power and influence that fcr soar twenty years that party has maintained the ascendency. Wc allude only to tho leaders of that party, and wo ask tha honest portion of our democratic friends to look at the facts as they have existed among us.

Devotini his . ..... entire time to electioneering purposes. Who was his successor? l.ynde Elliott a political renegade, who prostituted his official frank as postmaster to circulate documents in support of the hand tha! fed hint. Tho glorious revolution of forty brought about a new state of things. Achilles j Williams was aimoiuted under a V hiw administration and how changed his conduct from that of his predecessors! faithfully and honestly he kept himself away from politics, and conscienciously avoided an expression of opinion in regard to elections, except at the ballot-box, where he quietly deposited his vote. No political caucuses were held in his office; no intrigues were concocted there but tho duties of the office were faithfully performed. This conduct, however, would not s it after the corrupting influence of Iocofocoism had done its work on John Tyler. A tool was wanted D. I). Sloan was appointed, who perhaps only permitted others to do what ho would not do himself. L'ut he was not sufficiently unscrupulous, and the present incumbent entered upon the hired service. His paper needed tho fostering hand of the party in power to sustain it it was given, and it became as it had before been the organ of the oflico-holdcrs. The government has supported that paper for more than half tho time of its existence. For tho past four years it has been (he automaton rcsponser to all ths behests of the party its every energy, feeble we admit, has been devoted to defend Mr. Folk and his infamous administration, and to slander the whig party. The post-office has been the caucus room of the party. AH the chicanery and intrigues which have been adopted to benefit the party and deceive the people have been concocted there. It has been the dedicated and occupied temple of Iocofocoism. The presiding genius, (we mean no disrespect) has labored unscrupulously in his vocation during the canvass, and at the last presidential election he was stationed at the polls from morn till night, to challenge freemen in their proudest right. There ho stood, an emmissary of Polk, dictating to men who owed no allegiance save to their country. It was tha first time in our life that we had seen such bra zen faced effrontery in an officer of the government. Such things should not be tolerated, and it is the duty of the next administration to turn o..t of office every man who has in the least interfered in the popular elections. We have referred to the postmasters of this place because they have been but samples of their fellows, and while we condemn so decidedly such conduct in them, wc hope never to defend such conduct in others. We have extended this article far beyond what we intended; but we feel at liberty to refer to this matter because the party about to come into power is the one to which we have ever been attached, and which. wo hope will carry out in good faith the principles of non-proscription they have professed. 23"Th prospectus of (iodey o Lady's Book, is published in another column; and wo invito the attention of those wishing to subscribe, to it.

Why not Speak tie Truth? The- last Jeffersonian says: "It is stated in th Kentucky papers that Henry Clay Aid not go to the polls on the day of tha election. Being an "ultra whif ," ho could not voto for old Zack." Now tho editor know, when bo penned the above, that Mr. Clay was confined to his bed by sickness, and could not go to the point; but it wouldn't suit the little aout of tho editor of the Jeffersonian to epeak th whole troth where Mr. Clay is concerned he crawls, with eat-like tread, to the bed-side of an old gray headed man, wb is prostrated by disease raises his envenomed pea on high, and ran it into the quilt! We are glad to know that th hd jai!t was not damaged to any coniderabl extent; but why cannot our Elder-ly friend speak the truth? JIT Thursday neat, i th day appointed by Gov.
