REMOVALS FROM OinCE WESLEY
JONES, Esq.
The crocodile tears-which flow from the eyes
of the Opposition rWfy, because the new Ad
ministration is putting into exercise " the salutary
rule of rotation in ofBce," is enough to make a
Stoic langh. According to their representations, eT-
ery man wlio has been turned ont of office
tyr in the cause of patriotism nnd virtue
might renlly suppose, from the noise that the moke,
because n few reraoTals hawe been made, tbut they
crn?ider the emoluments of office as belonging of di
wine right to them, in contra-distinction to the peo
ple, and that a civil rewolntion most ensue, if fhe
whole patronage of Government be not bestowed up
on their clan. Bat who can be deceived by this hy
pocritical cant, proceeding from a defeated nnd des
perate party, who, when they bv had the power,
have always waged an indiscriminate wnrfare against
their politienl opponents, sparing in their hatred,
neither age or condition ? They will find that they
mistake the cravings of their own morbid appetites,
for public sentiment.
The last " Standard" is by turns indignant and
furious, at what it is pleased to term the proscrip
tion of Wksmey Jones, Esq., late U. S. Marsh.-il for
the District of North Carolina. Of course, that cry
was to have been expected. The clamor of proscrip
tion, for purposes of party capital, will be rung
throughout the land, whether few or many removals
ba made by the new Administration. So fur indeed
as any award of credit, that may be bestowed by the
Loco Foco party, for the lenient nnd moderate poli
cy that it may pursue, is concerned, it might just as
well emulate the ruthlessly proscriptive course of
preceding Administrations. But there is a sustain
ing consciousness of rectitude that can defy the fury
of a disappointed faction...
Against Mr. Joncs himself, we have nothing spe
cial to urge. He is a strong and decided Democrat
an active member of his partj generally consid
ered one of its main props in the County of Wake,
but has not, so far as we know, used his office for
party purposes ; and the President, in his removal,
is but adopting the doctrine of the "Standard," and
putting into exercise that "salutary rule of rota
tion in office." Besides, it was authoritatively as
serted and reiterated, daring the late Presidential
campaign, that in the ent of Gen. Taylor's elec
tion, prime cause of removal from office would exist
against those who had been rewarded solely for active
partisanship, and, to make way for whom, "faithful,
houest, capable," long and well-tried incumbents had
been sacrificed ! and the People rendered their
verdict for such a course. This was emphatically the
case with Mr. Jones he was appointed solely because
he was a Democrat, and predecessor removed for
no other reason than that he was a Whig! When
the "Standard" shall "justify such conduct" on the
part 0 a Loco Foco President,, it will be tinje enough
for him to come out with his favorite bullying i;rfar"
to others. But there are several other things in the
article Crom that Paperjrhich we cannot allow to
pass without some comment.
The "Standard" tells as, as an instance of the
liberality of the late incumbent, that be did not dis
place the Census-takers t hat be found in office, when
Gen. Bkvebly Daniel was removed to make Way
for him. Now, it 60 happens, that we have several
facts in our possession, that go to show that Mr.
J ones had but little occasion to exhibit any such gen
erosity. In the printed letter, addressed to General
Daniel by the Department, in relation to the ap
pointment of Census-takers, the following significant
Postscript was added, in writing: " The Commission
you hold will expire on the 2Cih April,-1840. You
will therefore perceive the propriety, in making your
appointment of Assistants, of its being understood
by them, that in the event of your not being reap
pointed, their appointments will be subjected to the
control of your successor, who will, of course, .haye
the power to change them." Or, in other words,
mind that you appoint do Whigs to take the Census,
or you may be removed. Geu. Daniel had appoint
ed an equal, if not a greater proportion of them, from
among the Administration men ; but because he did
not choose all of them from the ranks of the faithful,
therefore has be ostracised! And yet Mr. Jones
evinced marvellous magnanimity, in not altering the
appointments, so as to give his patronage altogether
to his political friends!
The most glaring consideration that strikes us, in
view of this whole matter, is the inconsistency of
those of the opposition, who are now so furious over
the removal of Mr. Jones, but who looked on with
such complacency and satisfaction, when Gen. Dan
iel was proscribed. Then, the indifferent remark
was " his head is off; so much 'for Buckingham!"
Now, they cry aloud against the
" Deep damnation of the taking off."
It is well known that there never was a more faith
ful officer .than Gen. Daniel. Who ever heard of
any delinquency in his discharging the functions of
his office? Examine the record of the Federal
Court, for the thirtytwo years that he was Marshal,
and ypu will find no amercement for duties neglect
ed. He was the cherished friend of the illustrious
Marshall; he was good enough for Jefferson
good enough for Madison for Monroe for Ad
ams for Jackson, but not good enough (save the
mark !) for Van Buren ! Yet such a man was doom
ed to the political guillotine, without any commise
ration on the part of those sensitive souls, that have
so holy a horror of its work. It is generally sup
posed that this withdrawal of the confidence of the
Government from Gen. Daniel, so operated upon his
mind and feelings, as considerably to hasten the ter
mination of his long and well-spent life.
We repeat, that the whimperings and -plaintive
waitings of the Democratic journals-about "Proscrip
tion," " the Axe in motion," and the like, are su
premely ridiculous, and will excite no other emotion
in the minds of those that examine their motive,- but
that of contempt. It would indeed be a lameutable
commentary upon the intelligeoco of the People, if
they could not penetrate the thin' guise of such hol
low insincerity. We have no. doubt but that the
leaders of the party generally, would prefer a clean
sweep of Democratic office holders, lest by their con
tinuance in office, and from their known affection for
the spoils, they become lukewarm, or conciliated to
the Administration. And then the bitter grief they
manifest at each new removal ! The tears that live
in an onion should water snch sorrow.

"THE CHURCH."
The last " Standard" speaking of removals, and
adopting the lauguage quoted by the Union," pi
ously ejaculates, "the blood of tit martyrs is the seed of
the Church" The lt National Intelligencer" thus dis
courses of the orthodoxy of the "Church" aforesaid :
" Aye, of such a church, such martyrs ! A " most
holy army," to use the words of the Liturgy!
As to their " seed," Heaveu defend the land from
any more crops of the like! People now-a-d.-tys
have rather superior notions of agriculture to any
such poisoning of their; fields. Men do not sow with
brambles auy longer, nor cultivate tares; nnd
though, of old, serpents' teeth were sometimes plant
ed and presently sprang up fighting men, yet, in the
improved husbandry of the present day, the farmers
are not fond of seeding that of which a harvest is a
misfortune.
But the Church !" fervently ejaculates our pious
contemporary. Verily, that m$st Christian church
whose Jacksonian banner was a hickory besom;
that holy mother of republican charities, whose er
raud of peace and god will to men" was denunci
ation aud proscription of all thai did not fall into
the party ; that blessed church whose whole creed
and commandments, morals and faith, were summed
up to itself, by one of its chiefest saints, in that brief
but well-kept gospel, To the victors belong tfte
spoils ;" that self-denying church, its body worn wit h
the macerations and Vigils of twenty years, its spirit
chastened by thoughts only of -meekness and lowli
ness, is about to flourish, more than ever it eeems.
So, at least, s-y its holy men those prophets who,
in its hour of distress, are raised up for its comfort
and guidance. The Isaiah of the Albany Argus, the
Jeremiah of the Union, (to which category we may
add, the Ezekiel of the " Standard and the leaner
inspired generally, afe clearly of opiuiuu that nothing
wiil be of such help; to Locofocoism, in its present
distempered state, as a good-sound dose of that
physic which it has tor so lung a time been cramming
down the throats of all others.

LETTER PROM WASHINGTON.
p Washington, April 14, 1849.
Mr. Gales: Since I wrote you, the elections in
Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York have ta.
ken place, and hjave conveyed to your readers an in
ritructive lesson tipon the subject of political parties
in the Northern States. For years past, the Loco
fuco party of thfrSoutb, has kept its head above wa
ter by charging the Whigs with being allied with
1 he abolitionists.' But for this allegation they would
long since bav been ina hopeless minority. The
Northern Democracy were proclaimed to be the nat
ural allies of fhe South ; and the Northern Whigs
the allies of the abolitionists. The late elections tell
a tale on thfo subject, which your friend f tbe
Standard, who is the especial guardian of Southern
rights, should hasten to lay before bis readers.
wIt will be retnemlered that the Liberty party, or
abotiiarty -proper, was last year at the Buffalo
Convention,, merged with the Barnburners of New
Yorty and the free soil men generally, into what is
callel the Free Soil party. The Old Hankers pro
tested that they were no less the friends of free soil
than the Barnburners, but for the sake of preserving
the jharmony and unity of the party North and
South, 4hey were willing to waive the Wilmot Pro
visobecause it was not necessary to effect the object
in view. Messrs. Buchanan and Cass argued that
there was a physical and moral necessity compelling
the territories to remain free; and that a Wilmot
Proviso, would have no other effect but that of alieu
uttng the South. For this reason, and not because
they disapproved the principle, the old Hunkers
were willing to support Cas with his Nicholson let
ter. It is remarkable, however, that many of Cass'
warmest supporters, were Wilmot Proviso men ; and
now that the Presidential election is over, even the
Nicholson letter men are returning to the Proviso
platformto the Buffalo abolition platform. The
scriptures tell us that "a little leaven Ieaveneth the
whole lump," and on this principle it is fair to rea
son, the whole Northern Democracy are as tho
roughly abolitionists as the original party of that
name. There is this difference observable, howev
er, that whule the old abolition organization for years
adhered to their opiuious amidst denunciation and
ridicule, and not uufrequently mob-law, their pros
elytes, the"" Northern allies," have only taken up
the hobby when they found it well broke and gaited,
and altogether in better plight than the hobbies
which rode them out of power.
A number of rcpiovals in the post office depart
ment have taken place I nean among tbe deputy
postmasters. Very few of the Clerks in the depart
ment here will be removed. Mr. Cull.uuer assured
m Senator a few days siuce that but six or at most
eight removuls would take place out of forty-eight
Clerks in his department. Men who attend to their
duties farthtully, snd who have not spent the autumn
in "stumping" it, will not be removed simply fur an
honest udhereuce (0 their principles. Every right
miride man must Jbe gratified that the administra
tion wii(tct upon this just and liberal priuciple.
Tbe bead of a Bureau assured me n day or two since
that in making removals, he hhould uot inquire into
the politics of the Clerks under him, but iuto their
character and qualifications. Doubtless the remov
als will generally fall upon Democrats, because it is
unreasonable to suppose that the late Democratic
administration would suffer incompetent Whigs 10
remain in office. T, be few who were allowed to re
main are, I should Imagine, without exception, com
petent and faithful officers
1 meet a good many New England men here, and
frequently converse with them upon their farming
operations. 1 nave lately had an interesting account
of the cheapness Slid facility with which they con
struct their fences in Maine the proces-, 1 suppose,
is similar throughout the Northern States. I learn
that one man will put up from six to ten rods per
day. The business of fencing is sometimes let out
by contract ; in such cases the contractor hauls the
stone and puts up the fence at about one dollar per
rod frequently for a less sura. He uses what is
culled a ' drag," which consists of two planks fasten
ed together like a door or window shutter, and turn
ed up a the frout after the fashion of a sleigh. It
isfjrawulby Oxen.? The drag is preferred to a cart
on account sf the? greater convenience of placing
large stones apon it. Two men or boys will gener
ally, where stone is abundaut, as in the middle and
upper couutiesof North Carolina, supply oue hand
with stone, wht) ns. above stated, will lay ten rods
per day. Timber is growing scarce in. North Car
olina, and it is Surprising that stone fences are so
rarely to be met with in a country which abounds
in the best materials for them I have been happy
to observe a few stone fences in the vicinity of Lou
i?burg; and I see no reason why they are not as
plenty ts " old 'fields." A good stone fence gives
dignity no less than value to a farm ; and I believe
that few things would go further to attach the peo
ple to the iil than stone fences The rickety Vir
ginia fence is a di-grace to the country, ami would
seem rather to belong to a migratory raceofsemi
8.1V ages, than to a spermaueiit people who love and
cherish the "fatherland."
The fences are two nd a half to three and a half
feet in width at bottom, and the sides approximate
towards the top. Four feet is the proper height.
The fellow Tom Hand alias Shuster, charged with
stealing the Government trinkets last fall, has been
011 his trial here this week before the District Court.

heard the case opened, but had not tbe patience to

excited so little interest. In London he would h ive

reputation of a great rogue. He rejoices in mous

He is pale and rather melancholy in appearance,

allusion is made to his misfortunes by his counsel,

and gracefully leans forward with the left arm akim

TO THE PUBLIC.
The lands embraced in tbe above proclamation
are located principally on and adjacent to the Mis
issippi and St. Croix rivers; Thoe 1 designated as
mineral are extremely valuable! because in addition

to the South, by the Mississippi river, or to the East,
by the way of the lakes, and the several lines of
communication that connect therewith. -

for I. eliding and smelting, are found in great abun
dance, and of the finest quality. The climate
healthy and pleasant the cold being rarely h ore
inteuse than in tbe northern part of New JfTork
and many ot the lands are exceedingly fertile, produ
cing all the grains and vegetables that eau be raised
in Massachusetts or northern New York.
Maps showing the' localities of the mines, and
other valuable information relating thereto, derived
from tie geological survey, &c, which cannot be
embraced iu this brief notice, will be prepared and
deposited in the land office at St. Croix fo h spec
lion as early as practicable before Ue commencement
