Without haiarding an opinion as to its' expediency, we can only say, that our columns - are ,open to - a reply from' any, persons who may 'think them selves aggrieved by-it. A. discussion has been going:on in the Whig papers, as to what County could claim the honor of having first brought out • the name of Gen. Harrison for the Presi dency. Be this as it may, we 'know that " Old Mother Cumberland" was the only ,county in the State that.turnad a summer• met in• favor of Harrison—and it is 'the on ly feat of the kind she ever performed, - 'ollllcei Holders, Clerks, &c.' Some of the Office-holders and Clerks of the National Government appear .to en tertain the very singular opinion that Gen. litipitison will not carry Out - the - Old - De= . mocratic doCtrine of "rotation in offieeft . but that he will retainin .place.many .of the Land.. Agents, Postmasters, Clerks, &c., who.have been for years enriching them selves at the public expense and living in luxuriousindolence: To them, the modern .Loeofopo Iloctrine,thet "to the victors , be '`long the spoils," has grown suddenly quite Obnoxious and .heretiCal ; and they . flatter o . themselves that the new PreSidentAvill pot "follow Rn the footstepi-Of-his'illustrious • predecessor" as 'regards reMoVals from of-. five, tilleast.

They say, also, that none but'such 'as' were open and active in their opposition •to General Har- rison will be,• dismissed ; and that those who, ekfreising the privileges, of freemen, merely d*tisited their votes Vgainst him, willmt,nmrshould not, be r'eMoved. And who, among all the recipients of Execu- live lavor, from', members of the Cabinet ° .doWtt to the most petty colintry, Postmas. -ter,' was "not active in his opposition to General Harrison ?

To m mind it is perfectly clear that the people of Pennsylvanid have no confidence in either the moral or Political integrity of 'll-If.-Ste yens ;. and it seems to ifollow, that should he be selected as the' representative- of Pennsylvania in the cabinet, the cenfidence of the peqple would .hdialienated from the Administration. • • • • - .As - I.have already ,saittinoro than I in tended when I began, fsliall notice anOther ground upon which the appointment of Stevens is urged-bra portion •of his friends, and then leave the matter in the hands of the . party, to'.act. tlley •May 'see ro pper.
