Tlieexhiuition rf-soJv logical aburdity, is a iliagracein the parties using a. It is an intiinatioir, that they sre rither knaves or devoid of common sense. We have demonstrated, bvjm4 a shadow f aoubu we think lbat G Ue, hi, promise to the na en.

Hence, so fir as :he Democratic parly is COi'xerned, he is not a no-party President.

He would be a party President, if he were lo snlfci the great disproportion above demonstrated, to exist in the offices of government. He is bound, si least, to equalize t lem, before he can be come, what he said he Would be, a no par ty President. The Democrats as a pa" ly, have no right to complain-of the nperaiion, whi h'subjecu that party to the inconve nience of eqiiHlixition, nor would they have any tight to murmur, even if they wi-re deprived eniireK of (he honor ofpirticipat ing in the public employment, though of such a deprivation, they need never have ny .'ear. ...lt w.ULht. seen. that wft jhave treated the subject ntirely with reference to its political ipee'. .Suth was our? pur pose in the beginning, and we think, we have clearly demonstrated, that Gen.

MODERATION IN POLITICS. . Judge Lakk, a ilistingtmhed citizen of Alabama, and one of ihe candidates on the lute Taylor electoral ticket, deelines lo be n candidate fir Governor. His letter, declin ing the nomination,, contains some sugges tion and counsel worthy of all acceptation, ami ejpctii,lly at Ihs South. We quote the subjoined: ' The tendency in polKie i loivanls nnrf tra!ion,n ha been evidenced in our late Presidential election, iu our hwii State out Ustititto 4A.-Alhii . hUr m it, -nif a a u re i and extreme partisans, who oiitiiiaif or de fend them, have become doserveJly unpop. ular. Sober-in juded and peaca-loving men have become dissatisfied vtih tha unceas ing rancor of party strife. The language, the policy and the douieanorofdcinngogi.es have, in not, fvw instance, of late lay, produced piitive'dugust with every thing poliical, un il nme men hare refused to eiertfl their elective privileges the high- est which a freeman can enjoy and have u t 4 iu. tnicrfi-rr, ero hv jUlr fu, . i t'r,,'i ,r-T' i fi'iv.

To meet this wholesome desire in the popuUr mind, we want moderate man to represent us in the coming canvass a man who may-btf iitjwetionable to nw' A - the liltra violence' of his political life, and on on whom modera'e men of all partie in he Staie may unite.

When we con- template thejranul progress which the North j lias made, we cannot but experience tlie mingled, yet reflecting emotions of admira tion and regret ; admiration for tlie -wisely directed industry of our Northern brethren; re'greT that' we" v7io " "possess "'w'""iMany'''str-1 oerior advantages, should be so saillv de- ficient in those qualities which have ! made her a spectacle to be admired by all i mankind, anal without which the gold of Ophir and the silvor of Mexico are -hut as dust in the balance, , In face of all this1 the Smith sits down quietly, or contents herself with resolving; and protesting agaimt Northern a-nrresion, , just as if she were not herself, every day, ri v etting still taster the chains that bind her to the North , and hy her own indolence I increasing the temptation to intrude upon j her rislits.

PROSCRIPTION. The venerable 'Jerniiah of the Union, weeps as long and as bitterly, over what he is pleased to call the proscription of his po litical friends as though his head, were lit erally "waters and his eyes a founuiin of tears." He has forgotten, it seems, by whom the system was first introduced, and who have acted upon it unsparingly, for thft, tot twittv . buses of the appointing power, within that period, which has entailed upon the present administration th necessity oj' the few reran vain tt has already made, or .contemplates making, is entirely overlooked, in the ardent desire to find some cause ofcomplaititagaiusl the Administration and it friends, For our owu part we see no reason why the inventor of an instrument of torture, should not be made to feel it why tlie quack should not be compelled to take his. o wn physics-why .those vvhaJta preached the doctrine of proscription, should not be mad" tounditrgo its pains and -penalties them selves. There can be uo sense in denying to the public service all reform lest it may happen to interfere with the. offices of those who hare rendered it absolutely tiecess-iry.
