Col. Cook, wore paraded on fool, and were exorcised
in many Intricate military evolutions. They looked
and marched exceedingly well! and, considering Iho
abort time they have been undcr tlie command of
Col. Cooke, acquitted thcmselvei ln a handsome and

In relation to iho appearance and deportment of Iho

VVe menlitmod in our paper otVlusl week,
suggestion bepp madeby ifm Wcsl Ghoßtbrße- !
puMican, of hpltliifff, a &tulo for
llib pDrpoßo'of, nominating^udges of tlie Supremo |
Court Court. i Wd find that among our :«lllzcnf:l.hla
iluggestion has gained vgreat popularity, and
almost universally advocated. If wo wish to preserve
purity on the bench, have the best lulont eclecletl,
and keep the Supreme Court,from being filled with
politicians; it is almost the only sure course. Iflho
Judges aro nominated by the some Convention that
nominates a candidate for Governor, Canal Commie,
sioner, &c., we aro.afraid U would too frequently bo
the case that offers,wpuld.be rondo from, one delegate
to another, to support ouch others favorite.candidate
m considsraticn ot support—lhqt is, that one wou
agree.to support his friend’s candidate for Supremo
Judge, in consideration fbat the other would support
his candidate'.for Canal. Commissioner,-.Governor,
or something else. And thus the'Judges of our high
est judicial tribunal—those men who, In.lho lustre
sort, have to decide on the-lilies to our estates,
bo selected more by. bargain and sale, than for their
ftsal Integrity, talent and learning. We wish Io sco
the nomination of our Supremo Judges.particularly,
kept out of tho hands of politicians,>nd a convention
selected who shall h«vo nothing' to. do-but-,select
Judges alone’’,-and have nothing lo loud'lhom'.away |
from selecting men for their real worth. Wo wish
this.convention also to bo composed of persons who
will moke the juoi(/icafiDa of.tho esndidotes the only
point of inquiry and discussion, men-who will make
inquiry, or who will bo likely lo be familiar with the
, characters of those whoso names-are presented, Such
men should bo selected for. delegates, and such, we
think, shouid bo the form and tho object of the con
vention. Speak .out; bielhrcn of the press, and let us

A convention of termagant wive* and old maids
was held in Worcester, Mass;, a short time since,
when it was resolved that men were not legitimately
entitled to '* wear the breeches "to the exclusion.of
the female sex. They complained bitterly of the
usurpations of the ** lords of* creation,** in taking all
political power to themselves, and leaving the women
at home to superintend household concerns. One
lady, Mr si Uytidd, of Cincinnati, was for turning
husbands into the whilst their spouses dicta
ted in the Senate, or flourished their swords on the,
field of battle. To vole, hold office, and in fact, to
perform all the duties now devolved on men was de
clared to bo the right ol* women. If the demands of
this female convention wore to bo granted, we sup-
pose lhal.lbe agreeable spectacle would soon bo pre
sented, of ladies dcclamlng from the slump, or. elec
tioneering in,the bar room, tossing off their grog
with every pot-house politician entitled ,lo vole. Now
wo hardly suppose that any man would like lo.follow
a wife, sister or daughter through such a career—
and ills not,therefore likely,-that the lords of crea
tion will consent to yield or divide their power at
the demand of the Amazons who composed the con
vention. . .
It U true, asks tho Baltimore Clipptr t that ladies
are deprived of their proper Influence In the affairs
of society 7 Wo think not. But it is exerted in a
more feminine,• persuasive and effective mode than
thuj proposed by the' attendants on the convention.
There Is no wife who cannot exorcise a powerful in
flnene’e on'her husband, if he bo a reasonable matt,
by gentle and loving moans—and every young mart
who has a proper self-respect, endeavors so to con
duct himself as to be acceptable in. female society.—
After tho lofts and anxieties of the day, the man who |
liat.a;tapMtlluugc, _scckt It as • fefuga from_j.bii
cares of the world, and find s a partner .16 sooth his
griefs or to participate in his joys. And this hap
py state of soofety it is proposed, by women, to over
throw, and to substitute, tho Lord only knows What.
Great must be the ambition of that woman who
would voluntarily pass from tho sphere of domestic
love, peace and happiness to commingle in the strifes
■ of party, and subject herself to the rudo jests or in
1 1 suits of the vulgar, in order to obtain a little political
.(power. Mo man of right feeling, would desire In
have such a “jewel of a wife.*’ • • ■
But wo Vivo in an ogo where human rights and
wrongs aro freely canvassed; and In our progres
sive Improvements and movement sit may yet bp
liscovcred, that a sad mistake, has boon mado
from the creation of the world,, in giving mun^in-
stead of woman, llio control of public affairs. The
fcmalcß of (ho Worcester Convention seem to
tiiink bo, end arc resolved to rectify the error—if
icy can.

Wpimcnlioncd some iimo
piffioer piid truly worthy man,' hodbeen removed by
"thbiiie power*’that bo ”at Washington, from lh* I
office of Treasurer of the Mint, at Philadelphia.—
Col. Spowdcn has been a moil failhfpl and efficient
officer, and the only cause assigned for Ilia removal
is on account of bis politics. Col.'S.U a true and.ro
liable Democrat, and of course was obnoxious to the
Galphin administration. ' We leltene there it not a
tingle Democrat noio in office in Penneyloenie under
the National administration ! Tliis is I hen ay the
Federalists carry out their promise to ''proscribe pro
scription.” ' For our part, however, we have nooom
plaints lo otter—wo have not boon deceived. AtTho
time the Federalists mode these professions, and pro-,
mised, in tho oventof the election of Taylor and Fil
more, that no,man should bo proscribed because of
his political opinions., wo, knew they were hollow and
false, and wo so pronounced .them al'.iho lime... Wo
have, not - been deceived, therefore, for we- have over
found the' Federalists ready to make any promises
lb'enable 'them lo obtain power. After they have
accomplished.their ends they laugh ul tho professions
made by thorn provious.to tho election. From tho
Pennsylvanian of Friday, wo take the following well
timed remarks r -
Proscription ot tho V. S» Mint#
•' We learn that Col. Snowden, whoio‘ removal w 6
noticed lately, BOrrendored on yesterday,: the keysmf
office end the public treasure In, the Mint,
Whig successor. Col.S. was the last Democrat hold*
office in Pennsylvania. Wo announce this fact Sot
those moderate Whigs and no party men, who assist
ed to place the present administration in power. In
order that “proscription should bo proscribed !’* The
Instance ns. is most glsr jng
and reprehensible of any. that proceeds it.
hive applied it to an officer of acknowledged abffity
and fidelity, who possessed tho confidence ofthMf l '
fire comrmlniiy, and discharged his offidarda .es
with promptness and skill. One, too, that the late
President, Gen. Taylor, had purposely omitted from
Iho general.slaughter which his cabinet were periml*
led to m&kc, lie was the only one left, and, that It
seems, was one 100 many for His (Axe-idency) nccl*
dcncy, Mr. Fillmore, end especially for tho worth]/
Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Corwin, who wishes
to treat all the friends of their country, who kro De
mocrats,in the same manner that ho would trealour
brave soldiers in tho war with Mexico, “With bloody
hands to hospitable graves J”
\ Bulfurther, wc learn‘from a reliable, source, that
this removal la the. more odious from tire fuel that
Democratic administrations have uniformly been ex*
trcmcly liberal to our opponents in the appointment
of officers of Iho Mint. There are seven officers in
llto Institution appointed by the President of the
United Slates—six of these ore Whigs, and lour ofl
(lid number were appointed by Democratic Presi
dents. Tho same remark also Applies to most of the
clerks and workmen employed—the former being
appointed by the Director of tl>6 Mint with the/ap*
probation of (he President, ihe latter by iho Direc
lor alone. Wo have always doubted the policy of
such liberality to nor opponents, and the course now
taken by them whilst they havethe appointing pow
er, exhibits forcibly the error which our friends have
committed. WhIM thc Democratic partyhavehev
cr avowed their intention to “proscribe proscription,
they have acted too generously; IU their opponents
holdihg offices at Washington, Philadelphia and else*
where. This must he rectified hereafter.* Jualico
rcqnlres it at our.hand. And as one public journal
devoted to the Democratic cause, wo shall, so far as
our power .or influence extends,'moke the coming
triumphs which await us in 1851 and V 52, fUll .and
complete, not only in carrying out Ihe glorjoua prin
ciples of the Democratic creed, but the selection in
all cases of Democratic officers and agents for lb a
transaction of public affairs; We go for measures
and men to carry them out, and thus induce proper
efforts to right the ship of Slate; and pul her again
on the Republican tack. Wo have not space I? aay
more at this lime, but will recur to ihe subject here
after.

they might ba sent were to intelligent to be imposed

(ho deception if they were made. They immediate,

that no friend of his in this office would refuse .to
help him through the Senate in the way proposed,
and Mr. Reed handed me a city Directory, told mo
’ to lake the names from that, and gave mo to, under
' stand that if I refused to do it 1 would bo.removed
» from office. But in order to escape from life dishon-,
■ orablo service of signing the name of any clliian, to
