We have repeatedly given proof that the evils of the practire ol re-election to offices of power and patronnpe, have for years attracted the attention of distinguished lenders of the Democratic party. Mr. JrrrRR'on, the father of the Republican school, always considered ita introduction into the conwlitution of the Uni ted Stat o, as an error fraught with bad conse quences to the due administration of the affairs of govprnment. In the Reform Convention of Pennsylvania, tho one term tenure for Governor waa most ably advocated by Judge Geo. VV. Woodward and Charles Brown, Eq., two leading friends of tha present Executive of this State. In a eubsrqtient Legislature, a propos ed amendment to the constitution limiting the Governor to one term, received nearly the un animon vote of the Democratic portion of that body. During tha canvas preceding the assem bling of tho Baltimore Convenlion, one term resolutions were frequently adopted at Demo cratic meetings. Tolk, with a proper aense of the principle, has authorized the publication of his determination not boa candidate for re-election. , General Jackson, than whom purer patriot or a firmer Democrat never breathed the breath of life, waa a most strenuous supporter of the one term principle. Deeply convinced ol Ihe evila likely to result from a continuance of the practice of re-electing a Chief Magistrate, ho etronely urged upon Congress, in six of liis eiiht annual meesairea, the necessity of so amending the constitution aa to render that of ....... m. . ncer ineligible alter ono term of service, ins arguments are a atinging rebuke to the cry which the office holders, in the very dititHcr- ttfed hope of holding on to the emoluments of their places, are sending forth over the Com tnonwralth, that the agitation of this question is a factious ss well as an Anti-Democratic movement. Mis reasoning, it will be seen, is equally aa applicable to the re-election of a Go vcrnor ot a Slate aa to the Preaidcnt of the Uni ted States. With Ihia view, we commend the following extracts from his messages to the calm consideration of the Democracy of Penn sylvania. They arcatrong and to the point; and should be regarded ss beacon liphts to guide the party in this Commonwealth through the perils by which it is menaced. From Grit . Jwfcuon't First Menage. 'In connexion with such an amendment, it would seem advisable to limit the service of magistrate to a single term of cither four or six yeoN. There arc perhaps lew men who can for any length of time ci.j'ty office and power, without boing more or lea undpr the influence of feel ings unfavorable to a faithful discharge of their public duties. Their integrity may be proof against improper considerations immediately addressed to themselves , but thry are apt to acquire a habit of looking with indiflerence upon the public interest., and of tolerating conduct from which an unpractised man would revolt. Office is considered s species of property ; and government rather as a mean of promoting in dividual interest, than aa an instrument created solely for the service of the people. Corruption in some, and in othera a perversion ot correct feelings and principles, divert Government from its legitimate ends, and make it an engine for the support of the few at the expenso of the many. The duties of all public officers are, or at least, admit of being made so plain and sim ple, that men of intelligence may readily quali fy themselves for their performance ; and I can not but believe that more is lost by the long continuance of men in office, than ia generally to be gained by their experience. I submit therefore to your consideration whether the ef ficiency of the government would not be pro moted, and official industry and integrity belter secured, by a general extension of the law which limits appointments to four years. In country where officers are created sole ly for the benefit of the people, no one man has any more intrinsic right to official station than another. Offices were not established to give support to particular men, at the public expense No individual wrong ia therelore done by remov al, aince neither appointment to tior continu a nee in office ia a matter of right. The incum bent became an officer with a view to public brnefita; and these require hia removal, they are not to be sacrificed to private interels. It is the peopl't lhe7 ,0M WD0 ,0 601,1 plain, when t bad officer ia aubetituted lor a good one. He who is removed has the same meana of obtaining that are enjoyed by the mill ion who never held office. The proposed limitation wouUi destroy the idea of property, now ao generally connected with official station; nd although mdividul distress may be some times produced, it would, by promoting that rotation which constitutes a leading principle in the republican creed, give healthful action to the system." .

The rea son still exists ; and I renew tho recommenda tion, with an increased confidence that this a dnplion will strengthen those checks by which the constitution designed to secure tho indepen dence of each department of the government, and promote the healthful and equitable admi nistration of all the trusts which it has created. The agent most likely to contravene thia deaign of the constitution ia Ihe chief magistrate. In order, particularly, that this appointment may, aa far aa possible, be placed beyond the reach of any improper influence ; in order that he may approach the solemn responsibilities ot the highest office in the gift of a free people, uncom milled to any other course than the strict line of constitutional duty ; and that the sccuritiea for (his independence may be rendered as strong aa the nature of power, and the weakness of ita possessor, will sdmit ; I csn not too earnestly in vite your attention to Ihe propriety of promoting such amendment of the constitution aa will rcn dcr him ineligible after one term of service." From Gen. J ark ton's Third Message. "t have heretofore recommended amendmenta despatches have b'-t n greatly admired for their terseness, dignity and modesty, , The greatest compliment yet paid to Taylor 1 heard of in London. The compliment is this: When the steamer of May lftth brought to England the news of Taylor's difficult position, the Duke of Wellington met Mr. 1 and the subject waa introduced, 'Why,' raid tho Duke, 'docs he not do thia and that,' (mention ing the atepe he thought Taylor might to take.) When the steamer of June '1st brought the newsof his victories, Mr. met the Duke sgain. 'Your Grace,' said he, 'most have been advising Gen. Taylor, for you see ho has done exactly what you said he ourrht to do.' So he has,' said the Duke, aa murh gratified aa if he had won the victories himr-e'f. As I got this from Gen. , to whom Mr. related it, it ia undoubtedly authentic; exact in sub stance, and, I think, also verbatim. In Bordeaux I met a whole-souled American a "live Yankee" ship owner, of New York, Mr, Holmes, lie is of the stuff which, when abun dant in a nation, makes it great. He waa al Trieste when the news cf Taylor's difficulties csme. Americana were despondent, and the folks there teased him with predictions of Tay some young man, father's coiitiug-rnoin, and had determined to have him for better or worse, although her father had previously g ven her hand to another ruitor. Tho lady's father having heard of thia attach ment, feigned irnorance, but determined to break it off, and give hia daughter to the gentle man he had promised her. For this purpose he directed tho young man to take passage in one ol the steamers that left New York and pro ceed lo England, and transact some business for him there. The lover accordingly came to New York, but meantime, the young lady got some knowledge of her father's intentions, and acnt a message by telegraph to that effect to her lover in New York, The expedient the two lovers resorted to for accomplishing their desire, and defeating the father's views, waa novel and extraordinary. She took her stand in the telegraphic office in Boston, and he did the same, with a magistrate, in the office in New York, and with the aid of tho lightning, they were made bone of one bone and flesh nf one flesli. This is certainly apply ing this invention to a purpose never contem plated by Professor Morse, and exhibits a great deal of ingenuity. A few days since, tho lady s father instated upon her marriage with the gentleman he se lected for her, and a might be expected, he waa amazed when she told him she waa already the wife of Mr. B., and the manner in which the PRICES OF AOVERTlliaQ.

ErrKCT o Ltr in Paris. In Gallignani's new Paris Guide we find the following state ment, which may snpply matter for medical as well aa moral speculation. If the facts be as here staled, it is important to inquire whether they bo found similar in other large cities, and what can be the cause or causes of such a resul. It haa been remarked that families constant ly residing in Paris soon become extinct, and that out of the whole population of the town there are perhaps not more than 1000 individual who Can reckon their ancestors as inhabitants of Paris, from father to eon so far back ss the reign of Louis Xllt. The effects of this mortality ore observed to be more active upon males than fe males. A Parisian youth of the second or third generation lias almost the form and manners of a woman! He has seldom any children that live, and henco it may be inferred llial all fumi lies, which, whether from listo or necessity, pass their lives in a town residence or a shop, are irrevocably doomed to ultimate extinction. Those that pass the summer in the country last longer thn the othete, aa may be seen in the case of aome. ancient noble families that have not been established in the capital more than & century. The class of the nobles has, however, become much weakened since they hove given up inhabiting their castles and manors; and tho massive aichitccturo of the hotels of tho Fau bourg St. Germain no longer corresponds to tho diminished stature of their inhabitants.' The excessive heat in Switzerland has cau sed the enow to melt from the tops of the moun tains. The summit of Mont Blanc is now a bare rock, a sight not seen for many years.
