":,locTiWO publish irilo-days - paper; a coin-
MuniUation from Geo. W. Crabb, relative.
-to the ippointment of T. Stevens,Esq., to
a cabinet office. 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

----- net - orifiEro - wn - p.Olitieal - friends - i'aPpointing -
Forei ! n Ministers and other hi!h'officers,
and. continuing, with a few exceptions, all
the minor officers. and clerks. 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

not be made.

adduce; It is enough, on this occasion, to
remark, that there is scarcely an enlighten

It strikes me that in this place the inquiry
will not be improper; why Thaddeus Ste

.measures and arbitrary
cotiduct Were -the principal causes of, the
defeat of Governorßitner, - shohld be placed
as an indubus upon. the Administration of
Piesident Harrison, at a time when a sin
gle indiscreet measure, may seal not °only
its—fit.e; but that of t e . nation. 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
