The editor asks, "Is there no reme dy fbe this evil?" and anticipates and answers the pro position of those who would ettend the term to si years, and make the President ineligible at a second election. The remedy, be thinks, "lies exactly in the opposite direction." He thinks the Presidential Elec tion should be made less important—the splendor of the prize less an object of temptation and intrigue. To compass this, he would propose to "shorten the Presidential term—and reduce the Executive patron age." The writer goes in for an annual term, with unrestricted eligibility, and thinks that if we should have four times as many Presidential elections, they would "in more than equivalent proportion be reduced in importance and excitement," and would not add materially to the excitement of the local elections. As tothe alleged effect of this change in electing a President, we are not quite clear, though the argument ieplansittle enough. But to the opinion that a reduc tion of the Executive patronage would lessen the ex. ejectment of our Presidential elections we readily as The patronage of the President has increased in a ratio entirely unlooked for by the framers of the Constitution, until now, in the mere beginning of our natjonal existence, it has become too large and un wieldy to be exorcised with proper discrimination by any one man. The mere physical labor attendant on making the appointments in the President's gift, even if iris powers of discerning the worthy were never at fault, is entirely too severe for any one individual's endurance, and if the patronage of the Government is not reduced, offices must go on increasing until the President will be compelled to delegate the duty of filling them to his cabinet, from absolute inability to tin the work, and meat thereby withdraw himself from intercourse with the people. The following paragraph contains further suggestions to carry out the reform the writer proposes: ~Y~. ~. "But we do hot propose to stop here, We would in that cue fix a regular term for all offices in their nature susceptible of web limitation, and deprive the Executive of the power of removal without cause to be assignai to the Senate. Subject to the check of an annual responsibility, the Executive would then take very good care that those reasons should always be good ones. The extent of the federal official patron age would then be confined to the offices falling va cant Thegularly, from time to time, here and there. Taking four or six, years as the general tenure. every year would witness the expiration of only one-fourth or one sixth of the commissions of office, instead of the whole being considered, as now, subject to the action efthe vast patronage pullet of the Executive. The altered state of things to which we refer, as the cer tain result of the suggested teforms, would moieover yuletide such a state of public feeling on the sub ject, that the usage would boon, we are sure, grow up to be, to re-appoint all faithful and servicable officers, ofsecondary grade, without reference to their politics." f ♦ f a R a t., ~~'_'~ ~ti ` "Reform is only to be found in reducing the Presi dential term—taking away the power of removal without good cause assigned—and we ought to add, transferring to local popular election a large portion of the official patronage, now vested in the executive.

We mean the Rev. STDICEY SMITH. The more we read and bear of him, the more we are inclined to honor his memory: "We have no particular accounts of the death of Sydney Smith; whether, like Sir Thomas More and Rabelais, be jested its articido mortis, we know not, but this we may venture to say, that had ho lived a few days loopy, to hear of the first payment of Phila delphia divideads; it would have cost him his quip, though he had died for it.

We are gratified to fird that of the matter we agree with nine-tenth♦ tunity, and with a large majority of the .mselves. The embarrassed condition of the total inadequacy of the amount np and the impossibility of distributing it fair- the sufferers, has convinced us that the best thing the Coitiscilscould do with the $50,000 would be to return it to the State Treasury again. We learn by the last foreign arrival, that the credit of Pennsylvania is still in a very equivocal position in Europe, and capitalists are all waiting to see what will be done.with the August interest before they meddle with out securities. Although the sum ap propriated to relieve the sufferers by the fire is entire ly inadequate for that purpose, yet it is almost one sixteenth of the amount required to pay the setni-annu al interest of our State debt, and the want of it next August may again render Pennsylvania obnoxious to the charge of repudiation, and destroy all the merit she has gained by the efforts made to retrieve her credit last February. Fifty thousand dollars is an impor tant sum to the state at the present time, and may be sufficient to relieve her from much embarrassment and great discredit, if properly applied; but it, would be but as a "drop in the bucket" when appropriated to relieve the losses incurred by the fire in this city, and for this, and the other reasons already mentioned, our citizens would much rather that the money should be returned, to be applied to relieving the state from some of her financial difficulties. Wde the great body of our citizens desire that this appropriation may not be received, none deny but our want of means is great and pressing. All entertain a deep feeling of gratitude for the individual aid that has been extended to the sufferers by the citizens of other places, and it is from such sources alone tha t they expect and wish to receive the means that will enable them to recover from the terrible calamity that has fallen upon our heretofore pro.tperous city.

To this sum add the contribu tion of Mr. Peale, proprietor of the Museum, $lOO, and ''the Razor Strop Man's" $8 63 (both already reported in this paper,) and we have en ascertained amount of $2,665 17, exclusive of the seven or eight hundred dollars collected at the Exchange meeting, and the $lOO privatelyremitted by Mr. 0. C. Tiffany, immediately on the receipt of the disastrous intelli gence, and which found publicity through the newspa pers, only in consequence of the feelings of gratitude which the act excited in the bosoms of the beneficaries of his active, but modest and retiring benevolence.— When full returns shall have been received from all the ward committees, we, have no doubt the sum total will be as creditable to the people of Baltimore as ac ceptable to their suffering brethren of Pittsburgh.

RELIGIOUS IrEris.—Nearly a- hundred villages in the pt OF ince of :Mad tas, ia, atisipp etu:s from London papers, have very recently placed themselves under the care of one of the English missions--in connection with which about 1,000 natives have been baptized' and about 1,900 are now receiving instruction. The last Report of the London Missionary Society, which expends about $400,000 annually, acknowl edges the receipt during the year, of *78,801 from contributorset its various missionary stations. The receipts of she American Board of Missions for the present financial year, are $20,000 greater than they were last year at this time. The effects of strict temperance -among seafaring men are clearly shown by some statements in the Sal lur's Magazine. In 1842, 380 vessels and 602 lives were lost at sea; in 1843 the number lost was 404 vessels and 642 lives. During the year 1844, as far as heard from, only 208 vessels and 105 lives have been lost. This exhibits a great decrease in the des unction of life and preperty, and is attributed to the .increased sobriety of seamen. C=MIMI THE PILOT o r THE SWALLOW—The grill:4llo 4 a the U. S.

Gover ner elect of Rhode Island, explains the grounds on which he and many other whigs have acted in the late Hon. L. R. C. ELMER—Dear Sir :—I have just received your speech on the Rhode Island question, franked by yourself, a partial report of which I read some time since with pleasure. On perusin g it again, I am happy to say that I cordially respond to your doc trines. As early as January, 1891, I put forth simi lar views in our Legislature. I saw then that a change in our guffrage and representations was inevitable.— The one was ulna conservative, gild the other "rotten borough" in its worst form. The town of James• town, fur instance, with 500 inhahitatits, had as many representatives as Smithfield with 10,000. Portsmouth with 1,600, ns many as this city with 24,000. Pub lic attention having never been powerfully concentra ted upon these inequalities, our charter had worked well enough up to the above period. But when the People commenced forming Suffrage Associations and petitioning the Assembly, it appear ed to me the time had arriifd for opening the Fran chise and equalizing the Representation. Had reme dial measures been promptly adopted by the Govern ment, the :ate disturbances in this State would not, in my judgment, have occurred. The past, however, cannot he helped; and as much as I regretted that the wishes of the People were not met at once, I did not think that the evils sought tube remedied were suffi ciently grievous to justify a resort to revolutionary con duct. 1 therefore opposed all the proceedings, from first to last, connected with the "People's Constitu tion." In short, I aided in forming the Law and Or der Party, and bore arms with others in defence of the Charter Government. The people (as you are aware)sinee that time—•viz in 13e—formerly adopted the Constitution under which the Government of the State is now organized. In the mean while Mr Doi r has been tried, convicted and imprisoned. His present unhappy situation is a constant source of discomfort and trouble in the State and out of the State. Neither his party nor the Law and Order party can disband while he remains in pris on. In this emergency it was thought advisable by many to obtain a direct expression from the people on the question of liberation and general amnesty. To ac complish this, I consented tohave my name placed at the head of a liberation ticket. I hoped that such a ticket would be supported by all who were favorable to the tranquility of the State. The democratic party. ns a condition precedent to my standing, passed unan- imously (in a full Convention from all parts of the State) resolutions acknowledging in unqualified terms the validity of the existing Constitution. After this there were no material points of difference between the two parties on local subjects. 13oth are now on the platform of the constitution; both are now for Law and Order. $2,016 54 The honor of the State is more effectually saved by the conservative character of the resolutions, bind ing as they do a whole party, than it would bri by the oath of any individual under duress. Ilence there is now no good reason for keeping Mr Dorr in prison, and withholding from him the rights of a citizen. The secret is that the organization of the Law and Order party, has hitherto concentrated in the hands of a clique, the whole political power of this State. The Whig party as such has been nominally defunct more than a year, and the Democratic party bas lost the dis tinctive character it bears in other States, being known here only as the counterpart of the Law and Order party, in other words, as the Dorrite party. lithe present liberation movement prove successful, the Law and Order and Dorrite parties must neccasari ly be extinguished. The Whig and Democratic ban ners will again be unfurled, and the people will cease to be disquieted by the agitation of questions which strike at the foundations of Society; we shall then be decided only as the people of other States are upon National issues. It seems to me that the attainment of objects so desirable must meet the approbation of all Conservative and thinking men out of the State. The course recently pursued by the Daily Journal of this city is calculated to mislead people abroad. It is unfortunately controlled by the ruling clique of the law and order party. Hence its statements and argu ments should be received with many allowances. The true Whigs of the State are fully aware of its present unnatural position; and they have reproved it in a voice not to be mistaken by aiding the Democratic party. I enclose Mr Simmons's speech, my address, and on address to the Whigs of this State. By these docu ments you will perceive mere in detail the true char acter of this movement for the relief of Mr Dorr, and the pacification of the State. Very iespectfully, yours, CHAS. JACKSON.

ISRAEL PUTNAM In these little sketches we do not propose to he pro found; only talkative, chatty, and. simple. As we have very little space this week, for this feature, we shall continue our subject without needless preface. Putnam's early days were spent as those of most boys placed in hie situation in life. One of his favo rite amusements was "bird nesting," a cruel and use less custom, followed in all country places with a fe rocity perfectly atrocious. These hunts for nests were followed in company; but Putnam was always the lead er of the band. On one occasion he and his companions came across a fine nest which lodged on a frail branch of a very high tree. The tree stood apart from the others, and was difficult of climbing. Besides this, it was evident that no pole, or contrivance. would answer -the pur pose of getting the nest—there was no way of obtain. ing it save by venturing upon the branch, which, nine chances to ten, would break under the weight of the robber. No one would venture: Putnam regarded the neat and limb in silence; for acme momenta, and at length said— " That bird has all the qualities of a soldier. It has complerely fortified its home. I'll wager there is not a bo3tfor ten miles round that could get that nest." All agreed with him. "I'll try it," said he, deliberately taking off hia jacket and rolling his pantaloons up to his knees. The little knot of boys attempted to dissuade bitni but to no purpose. Go ho would. I'll fancy that one of the King'4 strongholds," said Putnam, "and may I be shot if I don't come off victor." The tree was ascended—the limb gained. Putnam placed his foot ore it, and it creaked, while the old bird flew off with a sharp cry, and remained de scribing circles mound the tree, anitiauering touching complaints. "Bair said Putnam. "do you nut prey on our fields? Do you not tax its for your support? Do von not take our goods against our will, just like the King?" He ventured a foot further on to tho limb. It bent low, and a warning murmur arose from the boys be low. Putnam put his knee to the branch, and reach ed towards the nest. The limb broke partially—e shout below—and Putnam persevered. His fingers touched the wished for prize, and just as he cried— "l've got it," the limb broke clear off, and he fell but not to the ground. His pantaloons caught in one of the lower branches, and his head hung down wards. "Pm, are you hurt," asked one of the boys. "Not butt," answered the undaunted heart; "but; sorely puzzled how to get down." "We can't cut away the limb because we have no knife." "I can't stay here till you get one." "We'll strike a light and burn the tree down." Ayeyand smother me in the smoke. That won't do.' There was a boy named Randall in the group, who was noted for being a crack marksman, end who af terwards fought very bravely at Putnatn's side. Him Putnam addressed : "Jim Randall. there's a ball in your rifle." "Yes." "Do you see that a very little limb holds me here." "I do." "Fire at it." "What to cut you down?" "Of course." "But I might strike your head." "Shoot. Better blow out my brains than see me die bete, which I shall in fifteen minutes. Shoot." "But you will fall." "Jim Randall will you firer The sharp crack of the rifle rang through the forest —the splinters flew—and Putnam fell upon the ground. He was severely bruised; but laughed the matter off, and nothing more was thought of it. Three d ya after, Putnam met Randall and the rest, and, taking the nest from his pocket, said— Here is that nest. I said I would have it or perish; but I went alone, because I determined no one should see me fail, and aid me to escape the consequences. The same indomitable spirit was displayed in that instance as in the perilous leap, and the many other dangerous and daring exploits, performed by the gal lant man in his efforts for the ascendency of the cause of liberty.

Fifth et. noose for Sale. AA Frame House in Grant street, opposite the Bap tist Church; two stories high, with a cellar kitchen; possession can ho taken at any time. In quire of JEREMIAH O'LEARY, on the premises. apr 23-Iw* MATHEW JONES, Barber and Hair Dresser, WOULD inform his friends that, although the fire raged all about him—though his house was beset with fifteen men with axes, trying to cut it down; and by an engineer with a keg of powder who seemed determined to blow it up—his shop is neither burnt out, cut down, nor blown up,—but is fitted up in a bet ter style than ever for the reception of his customers. If he had not kept water on his roof it is probable that the fire would have seized it—if the house had not been made of oak, the axe-men would surely have cut it down—and if the powder-man could have got a match in time, he would probably have sent the whole con cern sky-high. But M. and his premises have format ely.esraped from all these perils, and his good luck will becomplete if his former friends and the pub lic have not forgotten him, sad will come and see him in his improved quarters. ap 23•tf NOTICE.
