EXECUTIVE PATRONAGE. There can he no question that one of the t greatest dangers to our Government, as at present constituted, is the extent of Executive pat- ' ronage. About twenty thousand employers are [ appointed and directly controlled bv the Presi- ' dent. A well disciplined corps of officials scattered lb rough every State, can do much to r influence the elections of the people. The past 1 history of our country abundantly proves that s this influence is carefully directed, and efl'ec- i tively used. A standing army of the same num- 1 her of soldiers would do less injury to the liber r.i ;? 1,1 i!,? i lies Ol liiu CUUIIUy, lb iuuiu Iiv?b II.Hi I?w O.....V . weight in elections, nor nourish so much cor- t ruption and bribery. These ollicials usually I get into [ilace by compromising their indepen- I deuce and uprightness of character, and con- c sequently they are well fitted for the lowest and s most debasing work. There is no necessity ' in all these places being under /lie control of 1 the Executive. Postmasters, which constitute i the largest class of these officials, are stationn- i ry, and could easily be elected bv the people, a If the President had not an otlice to dispose of, 1 the quadrcniul contests we now witness would t cease to be mere scrambles for place, and the s domestic affairs of every State would ho car- [ ried on without the influence of the General \ Government.?Erskiue Miscellany. -? THE TABLES TURNED. ( Twelve months ago those in the South who ' opposed the Compromise were pronounced dis- x unionists and traitors of the worst stripe. Wo , %vell remember how the advocates of the "Peace ! * Measuresmade themselves merry over the congeniality of feeling and purpose between the ' Abolitionists and the opposers of the Compro- j z mise in the South. Rliett and Seward, the ; .' Liberator and the Charleston Mercury, Ver- ( 1 mont and South Carolina were placed in the ! j1 same category, and the strange union of such ^ opposing elements, pointed many a newspaper , paragraph, and furnished capital for many a ' demagogue. But "the even-hanging course of things run a perpetual circle, ever turning."? Now the loudest praters about the Union, this ^ dearbought Union, this consecrated-by-theblood-of-our-forefathers Union, are whot Why, ! the Abolitionists, the only one?-, who have ever 1 done any thing to endanger the Union. How % . - * fanny to see the Compromisers and Abolilion^ in the same direction, all hurrahing ^ for this Measeri Union, Sewatd and Webster, ^ John Van Buren and Foote, Snmnerand Cobb, n the New Orleans Picayune and Albany Evening Journal, Journal of Commerce and Inde- j Q pendent, Baltimore Sun and New York Tri- i bune, all planting themselves in one solid Plia j 1 lanx around the Union, they see that it is the i masked battery from whence tho deadliest t| thrusts are made at all we should value as citizens?that there is a difference between the ? Union and Constitution?the one tlse shadow ^ and the other the substance. The cry of Un ion cither in the South or North is a clap-trap j ^ of the politicians to deceive and impose on the ^ people.?Erskine Miscellany. ELECTIONEERING. J I There are various modes of doing this, as we : tl have been told'by those who arc adepts in the ! tl art. There is only one phase of it however, > li of which we mean to speak, and that is the ! ii surprising transformations which sometimes! take place in those who become candidates.? , u Take for instance an individual rather remark- ' p able than otherwise for exclusiveness; who re- : a cognises classes, between which he sees dis- j u tinctions, and who has a horror of that sort of it democracy which has any tendency to bring j o extremes in contact; anon he becomes a can- j C' didate, and the butterfly, or the cotton moth j does not exhibit a more astounding nietamor-1 pilosis. His eyes arc opened at once, and so j are the genial currents of his frozen soul. In j 01 those whom he formerly talked of, with so \ much aversion as the "lower classes^' lie sees ! 0 nnwanted virtues, and qualities the most am in-: P ble. 1 He finds new friends on every side, new com- ; n rade3 in every house, and especially in some j ^ houses and he loves every body with an mibounded and astonishing universality of alloc- j n tion. Tiie period of his candidacy is like the 1 springtime of the rose bush, the leaves and buds , c of his affections expand in every direction ; and i alas, too, sometimes like it lie wastes his sweet- j '' ness on the desert air. It often happens that , u those whom he considers, will think themselves j ? honored by his association, are gifted with i ^ shrewd understanding, and are fully up to tiie \ nature of "blarney." They often suffer him ! to run iiis full career, and "fool him to the top 1 1 of his bent." j11 There is anotheiiphilosophieal curiosity, no- j ticeable in this species of candidate. #It inva- ' riablv happens that when time and the law, j 8 have finished the period of ids probation, lie re- i 8 cedes into the original caterpillar state from | *' which he emerged, and shrouds himself in the 11 Hume weh of selfishness. Although formerly, 1 '' he was as particularly "gracious" with every j ) body, as Torn O'Shanter and the landlady, | "with many favors sweet and precious," yet j 0 now he shrinks from contact with his late j a comrade, with as much appearance of loathing a as a Gascon count from a suns miotic. 21 When ono of those presents his case, * It shames him now to own, He stares upon the strange man's face 1 As one he ne'er had known. c [Canton [Miss.)

South Carolina, who will not submit totlieun! manly tyranny of the young disunion hotspurs | there, nor permit their free thoughts to be sti; fled by any amount of gasconade and bravado, i A shining instance of this is to be found in a j toast, which was offered at a dinner of the rnal- j contents in Charleston, South Carolina, on j the late Fourth of July. One of the company I having proposed to hang the President and his , Cabinet in certain contingencies, u gentleman got up and gave the following sentiment: "President Fillmore ?A patriotic statesman, who would maintain the integrity of the Union by vindicating and supporting the rights of the States.'' I The above very complimentary, though equally undeserved Toast to President Fillmore, was given by Geo. S. Bryan, Esq., at a dinner in Charleston on the late Anniversary of American Independence, and of course is highly gratifying to our j "Northern Brethren," among whom we must include the Editors of the Baltimore Hun, from which i paper we clip the above; for in the event of a collision between the two sections, we may very safely give Baltimore to the North. 'Many of our readers remember Mr. Bryan's New York Speech in 18-1-1, when he so strenuous- ; ly advocated the claims of Mr. Clay, to the Presi- i dency.

Dr. 11 , of Franklin county, Vermont, tells a good story of a case of conscience that I occurred in the course of his practice, several years ago. The wife of a Baptist deacon, (whom, for the purpose of the an-' * :ote, we shall call .Mr. (Juslunan,) dislocated her arm by a fall, and the doctor was sent for, and come, with all convenient despatch, and put the matter "to rights;' Presently, after the operation was over, the lady was seized with a faint turn, and beckoned to her husband for assistance. The deacon was a man slow of motion, slow of speech, and rather slow in point of intellect, lie was a strict "tcmperanco man," and conscientious in this and every thing else to the last degree. Being never quite sure that he was "right," he naturally feared to "go-ahead." In tlie jirosont emergency he went into the room where tho doctor was sitting, and addressed him, in a slow and measured tone, as j follows: "Dr. B., you arc doubtless aware of tho pi in ciples which Mrs. Cushman and myself profess in regard to the use of intoxicating drinks in any form whatever. Now, doctor, I wish to put it to your conscience as a Christian physician, whether it would be in any manner cul- \ pahle, in case Mrs. Cushman were afflicted with faiiitncss, if I should so far deviate from our habitual rule as to hold. a bottle of camphor I to Mrs. Cttshman's nose ?" The doctor rushed into the lady's apartment, and found his patient had not waited the issua of (he deacon's casuistry, but had fairly " gone oil"' in a fainting fit. "The devil take your conscience!" said the doctor, half inclined to "go off" himself into a fit of laughter. "The devil take your doubts, sir?in a case like this one scruple of camphor ' is worth twenty scrupies of conscience.?BosIon Post. Tnr. rats ix u\xukr.?A man in New York has offered the New York common council to rid the City of rats?not only the houses, but all the common sewers?for ?100,000, and afterwards to keep the city entirely free from rats for ten years for ?30,000 per annum. The guarantee he gives for the future is a pretty fair one. Should a contract be completed between this and January, 1852, he offers to give approved securities than he will pay, after Janet' ary, 1853, ten cents for every rat delivei :d to him. This will be an incentive to him to scat' ter his powder around pretty extensively; but he feels certain that all the dogs and rat-traps in the city would not catch ten thousand during the second year ofhis labors, nor after that even one thousaud a year during ois contract A contract of a similar nature has been made with a man in Paris by the authorities ofthatcity.
