The letter to which the Judge refers was In reply to one from several prominent citi zens of Chanibersburg, asking whether he would allow his name to be used in connec tion with the Gubernatorial nomination, and contained the following paragraph: "The same inquiry has been made by nu merous other friends train different sections of the State, to which I uniformly replied that I did not desire the nomination, and in view of all the cares and responsibilities to be assumed by the nominee of the conven tion in the event of a successful canvass, any reply to you would, if my own views and feelings were consulted,be of the same tenor. But there are Aloe from every man, public as well as private duties ;- and if the convention, after considering the subject in all its bear ings, should in its wisdom, decide to confer the nomination on me, I will not consider myself at lila rty to decline."' The contest for the nomination will he mainly hi tween the friends of Judge Packer and' Gen. CtIAS.

The Island of Cuba. So much has been said of late about the - annexation of Cuba, that it is, notitiOg more than natural that there should be &general anxiety among the'people to secure all the 'information attainable regarding its charac ter, extent and resources. It contains 45,000 Square Miles, and is about the size of Ohio, though the population is less than half what that State contains. • In other words, it has nearly thirteen or fourteen hundred thousand people, of whom one-half were until lately negro slaves. Its wealth is immense, and its trite exceedingly large. It is one of the great sugar marts of the world. Its tobaedo and cigars arebnriyaled. The United States are large importers of its products. If they poSsessed the island that raised them they would come in tree 'ot duty, mitt be much cheaper than they are at present. Years ago, in the Administration of Presi dent Pierce, the United States offered to pay one hundred millions of dollars for this island, or neatly seven times that which, they gave to France for Louisiana and the whole Mis sissippi Valley. Cuba is the key of the Gun . tf Mexico, and is of immense political and strategical im portance as a military and naval station. Its acquisition by the United States has long 'been ardently desired on these accounts by tens of thousands who would oppose any Whet annexation, The abolishment of slavery in the island, however, we suppose, will greatly dimin ish its value, and render its productions of sugar and coffee infinitely less than they have been in previous years. It look, its if Spain was bound, ere long, to lost it, atrt that her declination of the hundred million offer, un der Pierce's Ndmiriistration, was the greatest of mistakes upon her part. Show Them Up. In commenting upon the generally ac knowledged rascality of the last Legislature, the Lancaster Intelligenet , r feels "bound to say" that it was "na altogether confined to the Republican members who were in the majority, and who will therefore be held re sponsible for the legislation. There was a small body of Democrats who were in the Ring, and who were up to tWeir eyw throu 411- out the session in every scheme -of corrup tion that was broached. One or two of them were men whom we ffiund it difficult to be lieve werti so base. Thu conduct of other men did not surprise is. The Honorable Samuel Josephs, of Philadelphia, couldn't astonish anybody by any act of baseness. But the Democracy of hisdistrict are every bit as bad as he Is, for they knew what he wanted to go to the Legislature for when tuey sent him, and they, every one of them, de serve six months imprisonment at hard labor for voting for him." On the last day of the session, it is said, that the lobby had paymasters at two of the hotels in Harrisburg, one the Democratic and the other the -Radical headquarters, at which the members of the Legislature who had sold their votes were publicly pail Off— Luc transaction being looked upon by them as a eapitafjokei' Let the press of both par ties exraute these transactions without mercy, and spare neither political friend nor foe. The Thieves' Mutual Admiration So ciety. The practice of giving presents to one an other at the close of eaAstsssion of our Leg isL•ttnre has grown into proportions which are a prolific source of ridicule.

Reiloyal. from Office. Great injustice haebeen done to General Jackson by attributing to him the authorship of the system of wholesale removals from office for political reasons alone , It is true that he made far more: removals 'than his predecessor, John Quincy Adams, hat there was a manifest reason for it. Mr. Adams had been Secretary of State for eight ,years under.the Adult/4311'0am/. of President Mon roe. The appointments made by that Presi dent may be anpppsed to have been made generitily • with hiA sanction; There was, therefore, little change under him. But when General Jackson came into office in 1829, after a heated contest, he found nearly, all the office-holders against him. In order' ' to restore the balance, make a just equili brum, and show that the 1111.. es were the property of no particular party, h© had to make many changes. Still, to the end of his long term of eight years, there ,were many persons in official positions throughout the country who were the enemies of his politi cal Administration. It was not until 1840, when Harrison and Tyler, the Whig candiz dates for President and Vice President, were elected, that the sweeping system of removals from office for opinion's sake was adopted with remorseless severity. Everything then was changed, high and low, from the Cabinet officer down to the merest tide-water in 'the Capitol, - or the humblest postmaster in any part of the Union. The practiee then set has been fol lowed ever since by all parties. The De molracy, although not the first to adopt it, followed it as a measure of retaliation. But it is high time that the practice was discon tinued, and that the Government chose its servants upon the same principles that gov t ern individuals in public life, and that the Jeffersonian test was alone i applied, %Is he honest—is he capable—is he•flithful?" A “Consthistional Thief." In his speech in the Senate, last Week, Gen. Cameron spoke of one of Geri. Grant's pointees from Pennsylvania as a "constitwi tional thief." This declaration is understood to refer to Frederick Coze, of Philadelphia, who had received the appointment of Consul to Marseilles, one of the most impor ant of eur foreign positions_ The Telegraph, Of .that city, dradical paper, says he "has been in the habit of' pilfering various small wa des from oue of the largest and be t patron ized wholesale and retail grocery stores. The firm, though fully aware of the thefts, bore with them, hardly knowing what course) un der the circumstances, to pursue. At length, however, patience at an end, they brought the matter to a Culmination on Saturday last by having the gentlemanly thief arrested in the street. lie was conducted back to the store and there compelled to disgorge the ar ticles 'he had bat a few minutes previously stolen. 'These consisted of a box of cigars and divers 'other trivial things such es he had been aceuatomed to take. ' He then offered to pay a sum of money, equivalent to the •value'of the articles he had stolen tor two years past, on condition of being let up soft ly. The firm accepted his proposition, when he paid POP. The twitter is now amicably settled, and .11 parties.:Satistled." Coxe is a member of the Loyal Lentil., and has been one of its favorite members. Directly after Cameron's exposition, Grant withdrew Coxe's appointment. Changes in Office. The terrible pressure for office upon Gen. Grant may be seen in the following list of appointments sent into the Senate by bitu up to April 20th, nearly all of which have been confirmed; Cabinet officers and - foreign ministers, 32 ;' Secretaries Legation, 5; Consuls General, 4; Consuls, 99; Governors Territories, 7; Sec retaries Territories, 8; Collectors Internal Revenue, 119; Assessors, 117,; Postmasters, 438 ; Collectors of Cnstnins, 40; SurYevors of Customs, 13; - U.

Dina and two colored appointees have declined, leav ing, in round numbers, 40,917 offices and' places yet to be filled. Courage, theta, still struggling and toiling 409,170 patriots and loyalists who are sick to serve the country at the country's expense The Cuban Campaign. ot‘tithstanding the advantages which Sp de possesses over the Cuban rev7)lution ists, it is certain that she is not progressing in the suppression of the movement. She has to-day on the island some 40,000 disci plined troops, besides lti,Q_oo volunteers; she has means of concentrating them by sea on the chief points of the coast within twenty four or forty-eight hours ; and yet the mo ment her forces quit their base, the sea ; and attempt active operations in the interior, she finds depopulated cities, or at most view women and children, and all her expeditions are barren of results. The Cubans were bent from the commence ment on wearing them out, and still continue these tactics. They risk no general engage mmts, and drag,. the Spaniards after them, from place to place, with the purpose at ex hausting their resources. They can livein the woods and the Spaniards cannot ; and every time thas'the Spaniards attempt to send sup plies, of arms, ammunition, and provisions to any post in the interior, they will in all probability, in the future as in the past, be supplying not their own troops, but their enemies. - Gov.

In the name of the Democra6y of Penn sylvania, we unite with the Harrisburg Pa triot in thanking Gov. Hoffman for his noble conduct. His course inspires thcf hope that we may again behold a return of the days of honesty and faithfulness in• public office. New 'York, in the person of her upright Democratic Governorjeads the wag.: May we not cherish the belief that Pennsylvania will follow ? • The Annexation of Cuba. A telegram to the World says the feeling in Cabinet circles relative to the annexation of Cuba does not appear to be very strong. and there is not the slightest ground for the supposition that the President is auxions for an extension of our Territory in that direc tion. One of the strongest arguments against the annexation of the island is in the fact that the United States derives a revenue of thirty-six millions annually ftom duties on imports ifrom that country alone. In the event'of annexation there would be exactly a deficit to this amount, which would go a good way toward whipping out our surplus. It would not be difficult, if we get in a war with Spin, to combine England and France with Spain against us. Our grasping pro pensities—stretching out our hands for Can ada, Cuba -and Mexico—alarms European powers, and they would readily ;combine against ua, and, only want a decent alts to go amid.

The names of two men' bad been, sent into the Senate, one of whom was a constitution al drUnkard and the _other a cenStitii s tional thief. Under the old praCtice ot Consulting Senatoys about appointments, fewer,blunde were made, and bad men did not stand as good a chance of getting places. 'Too Tntxt.—A.

SpitAutm, of Rhode Island, says "Grant is a gone case," and that "the politicians own him." - A RADICAL journal sirs thee name of John Brown will live forever." That of Judas Isca riot is also having a pretty good run. THE New York Times (Radical) says Hoffman deserves the support of every honest newspaper in the State, Republican and Democratic, for his resistance to the schemes of plunder which are so rife at Albany. MANY things that have been accomplished, by war, could, as time has shown, have been attained better and far more cheaply in peace. There is no doubt that we have the pimer to seize and hold Canada; as well as Cuba or Mexico, against any force likely to be brought to defend it. But'robbery is not always wis dom, just as brutal insolence in dealing with foreign nations is not always statesmanship. A. VERY prudent politician is Judge James C. Taylor of Virginia. .He is the Indepen• dent Republican candidate for the office of Attorney General of the Ancient Dominion. In his published confession of faith he says: "I am a supporter of the present administra tion of the National Government so far as I am able to understand it." There are a good many others in the same condition. ' The trouble is to "understand it." Tuts New, York correspondent of' the Springfield Republican says that the reason, he has not got an office is that he "did not happen to be born into the Dent family." ,It is singular how universal the impression has bc;corne that Gen. Grant confers offices on his relations without much regard to their fitness, and with no . regard at all to the pro priety of thus using his official power. The New York Sun seeks to defend the Dents, on thq ground that "ibere is not one of them in the Cabinet, and there cannot be more than seven or eight on whop minor offices have been bestowed." Tau Philadelphia Telegraph (Thulical) is so Much shocked by the corruptions of the late Legislature as to be compelled to say— "ln the days of the war, when the election of a Democrat, be he like the Angel Gabriel, was esteemed a national mis , ortune, we did . not hesitate to support any Republican loyal nominee, though he had hoots and to tail.
