Within ((f j certain limits, the principle i* just and proper. jjin liacli ndiniui>lration is pledged to the rupport of a certain Well delined policy ; for tho sue- ,j|0 cess of which, it is responsib'e; ninl it is there- j fore the duty of the President to till the chief n,re olliccs of Coveriiiuciit with men who can co- j operate in its support. I'pon a chan<re of wo, party, it is necessary that the chief stations, (jlt, hoth nt Iiome and abroad should be vacated, ,|0j_ and tilled by men, pledged to carry out the ?j,n policy of anew administration; but the jjreat p0j, body of subordinate otHces, the duties of which are independent of party politic*, and which p j. require for their discharge business capacity, gUa and integrity merely, should lie left untouched. So even where there in no change of policy in no , theadministration, it would seem that the new (jj ^ President should select his own Constitutional <] advisers, consisting as they do of men with jj()j whom he will hold the most intimate relations of personal intercourse, during his official term; hut auv change heyond this can he justilied only on the principle that to the victors belong T""3 , "The retention of Col.

A New Invention*.?A very sijnj?Io and useful contrivance for planting pens and corn has been recently invented l?v Mr. .1. M.j Carlisle, of Williaiuston, in this District.| It consists of a hopper, iua?h* of tin, and attached to a .staff about the size i f a walking cane, and may be use.l in tin' same, manner, when planting (lie seed. This hopper extends d'.'wii to the ends uf tin- M-ilV, and is so sli;ip.'d ns to admit a sijnarc p!i:g of wood about ftv?_* incites in length, and containing a groove in one side for llie escape of the i grain. In the upper end of this groove there is a slight spring, hent ?o as to liil up tho groove at that point, and in the end of* tho | (o which the hopper is attached is a | recess for the admission of the grain, when the end of the ping is below tliat. point. When pressed upon the ground'jHhc plug of wood rises in tho hopper, and permits tho gram in this iveess tooseajH? down tho groove in (In; side of it. and below Ihis spring. The weight of the crr;iiii above I'.)ices it clown when iificd ((Bin the ?;rouird, and so the pro-' of pl.uiliiijif is carried on l.\*iliis .simple contrivance. It plants with a great deal more nnformity than can be (fleeted by tho hand. Mr. 'Ja.'islc has applied lor a patent,* and we hone lie mav obtain it.
