The North act, passed at the recent Session of the Legis Carolind Standard ever since the com- i lature, entitled, M An Act to increase, the Rev. mencement of Whig rule, has been harp- i . fe ' I ing at a most furious rate ; and from the 1 tone of its articles, it would seem that thfc ' the Editor actually thinks no one but men of thje so-called democratic party ought . t i to be appointed or that they have a he- reditifry right to all the emoluments and patronage ofkhe Government that they , . I t i r r are the only men capable of performing the duties appertaining thereto. While we deny that the Locofoco politicians j have any thing like a' hereditary claim ! upon the offices of the Government, we ! are not prepared to say that they are wholly incapable of performing the du ties of the same aright, but contend that it is nothing but fair and just that a change should take place in all the most impor- tant offices of the Government, and good , i , , , and true Whigs be appointed men who are known to be honest and capable ; who. have not maile themselves party hacks, and who williiot prostitute their offices for mere party purposes. This, we believe should be the motive, and the only one in the appointment of men to office. But it was not so under the rule qf Lo- appointment was maupr, tne onicer, wouiu use the patronage erf his office and ajpro- priate a partfof his salary towards pro moting the success of the party at all elections. Considering all these things, we think none of the party-have the least right to complain if their successors in office, choose' to act upon a different plan, and put men in office who will look to the interests of the Country, instead of that of the partyj Indeed they ought to be ashamed to murmur.

THE SMALLPOX ALARM. A day or two after our last issue, disease, similar to the cac which produced doubt of its being small pox, broke out on two colored per- sons in the same familv where the first case oc- curred.
