A SIGNIFICANT SIGN OFI>FCAI>ENCF.

The annunciation in the United States Seuattwoi)ly-five yeaisego, of the demoralizing poliical dontri.no, that " to the victors belong tho spoiof oflice," shocked, for a time, tho rnorul sens-ji

the people, and raised a storm of indignant cei

sure about the head of him who uttered it. tiu

notwithstanding, such is the easy grade dowtwards, in all communities, and such the tcmptttion which that doctrine holds out to those whrank themselves among " victo-s," that howevedeleterious the carrying it out may be to the cout

try at large, it at once became the rule of tb

party tltcn and now in power, and has continueto be the ouiy. permanent principle of that part}witli great 3a»tihfulness, denominated " the publiplunder parly."But how much soever we muy lament the ado]

tion of so grovelliug a principle or rule of politcal action, we are compelled to admit that it hinroved to be the great source of strength, an

cause of success to the party adopting it; forhas held out a temptation and inducement, thouga mean and sordid one, to all such as have inoi

ambition than moral principle, a greater loveoffice and its emoluments than love of country,join those who promise plenty and plunder as

rewind for joining their ranks; as the gonerwho promises plenty of " beauty and booty"lure to till his ranks wilh soldiers, who " fight fplunder and extended rule." That u the plundparty " have been continually recruiting from tlWhig ranks, by rncuns of the temptation thheld out, wc are, however humiliating the famay be, compelled to acknowledge. To bo cc

vinced that this has been the case to a very grcextent, one has only to see who arc the most t

tivo political men in the several States, and c

amine into their antecedents. We could readname moro than one hundred prominent me

those who have held and are holding high nndflueutial stations in that party, who were once e

tive, zealous, and, as wo then believed, honest a

sincere Whig->.Whigs from principle; Whibecause they held to Whig doctrines, and co

demtn d the demoralizing course and " the spoprinciple " of the Democrats : men who zealousadvocated "the union of the Whigs, for the salof the Union."

The same may be said ih regard to the Ameican party. Its rise was rapid, and for a time a

peure i as if it were destined to possess the powof' ''rewarding friends and punishing enemiesbut v lie" frbm some untoward circumstances tl

tide itnd prospect were changed, those who In

1 he occasion of these . --*<» assumptionmostextraordinary proposition a.._

namely, that it is the duty of the twe..vthournad postmasters in the United States to dwhat ?. 'hai which has heretofore been uuder6tocto be their dil'ty ? Not at all; but that they mui

hereulier become an active corps to solicit sulscribers and advertising for Democratic newspipers! We call especial attention to the languaghere used, and tho significant hints intended to tconveyed to postmasters, that the tenure of theoffices depends upon their activity in procurinaubsc: ibers-for Democratic papers, and their su]pressi.ig the circulation of those opposed to "thplunder party."What next? Yes, in the name of liberty an

free government, we ask, what next? We sufpose v/e shall soon be told that the mail belongto " the plunder party," and that none but theiown party papers have any right in it; nor woulit our] iiih; ub vcij uiutu tv bet* uu uruit irufu tu

Postn aster General to postmasters, mail contrac

ore, a. d agents, to throw out of the mail all newi

paper.- opposed to that party. Such an ordewould be no more extraordinary now than thannunciation that "to the victors belong thspoils of office," would have been in GeneriW A.ph isuton's time, or even in the young*AdarnVs, nor the app arancc of such an article t

the following in a respectable paper during Aiaiub S administration ; it would then have shock*the m >ral serse of the whole country:

Me.e istl article, read it, ponder it.it is or

of the loadstones which serve to mark how funscrupulous partisan politics, and "the spoidocti uy" have carried us from the straight linenational rectitude laid down for us in Waehinjton's farewell]Address; how far we have depart*from he high-toned political morality which chaacteri/ed " the better days of the Republic."

" Postmasters are not bound by law to aid thcircuit! ion of any .newspaper, and it is their dnlto fuiuish the accommodations of the mail servicto all. But they are indebted for their offices ttheir political friends, to which they belong. Theduty to that party.simply good faith to their piIitical associates.requires that they should n<labor in hehalf of the principles of the enemy an

engape in their dissemination. Kay, more; conmon honesty requires that they should, so f?as tbey reasonably can, reciprocate the kludneiof the party which has conferred office upon thenby aiding in upholding its principles and perfecing i * organization, and contributing to its su<ccsb. In no way can this so conveniently and eflcicntl > be done by them, as by extending the oilculftti m of Democratic newspapers.

" 'J here is not n postmaster at the smallest comtry h..inlet who cannot by a small amount of Iab<and a little tact, increase the circulation of Dcm<cratii newspapers in its neighborhood. Wheipostn listers refuse to recognize their obligation ttheir political friends to do this, and espcciallwhen they engage in circulating black Bepublicanewspapers, it is perfectly fair, nay, it is the dutof stl: preservation, for the Democratic party 1dispe isc with their services, and bestow theoffice upon those who have a more correct apprciatio 1 of political duties.

" V ore than this, these post-office appointmentso lot g aa it is agreed that they are political oneshoul i be in efficient hands. They should be bstow11 upon those who have the disposition atthe si ill to aid and strengthen their party in tllocaliiy, and where they arc now in hdtida whitfall to accomplish this end, changes should uhesita tingly be made. On no other principledistril mting political patronage cau a party be sutainci In the case of postmasters, a pretty go<index of their political efficiency is afforded Itho number of Democratic newspapers circularthrough their respective offices."

ABOUT A 11E1>GE-1J0G...tsop, who left behind Idui a vast deal of wisdom

e> and instruction in the Minuting form of fable, wroteone about the hare and the hedge-bog. It. runssoiucadint in this way:

L;t A hedge-hog, having been lazy and idle, hadJ" neglected to form lor itself a burrow; aud onel> cold night, beiug without food or lodging, besoughtthe hare to let him come into his burrowl" juat tor one night, and also begged for a little loud,0 being nearly starved.1 The hare, full of compassion, aud animated by u

generous sympathy, readily took the hedge-hog0 in, gave him pleuty to eat, and a nice, warm^ bed. tjg'> Finding himself in luxurious quarters, faring morec sumptuously than he ever had before, the hog

held on for some time, eating from the store ofi- .1.,.i » *l... , '...I i ... u:...

*" thut his loom would be more agreeable than hie19 Company, especially as his quills were sharp and

annoying, Thereupon the hog told the hare that,1, ho liked the place bo well he had no notion ofi'1 giving it up; and if he, Mr. Hare, did not like hisrt company, he might leave the premises as soon as01 ho pleased, To show Mr. Hare t'lat he meant tot0 bo master there, he commenced running abouta with his quills bristling out in every direction,

killing some of the inmates of the habitation,,H wounding others, and annoying all.or Without making auy application of this fable, weer present our readers with the following piece of

For more than half a century England has beenestablishing her dominion in India, which, at the

' moment of the revolt of her Sepoy, or native troops,'' was one of the most populous and splendid ein'V!pires in the world. But from the latest accounts; from the East, >t would 6eem as if the immense

labor of conquering that country has all to be doneover again, and that to re-establiBh her dominion,

10 England will have to put forth all her great millortary power, sacrifice hundreds of thousands of

Uvea, and expend millions of pounds sterling. Ithad been supposed that the inhabitants of Indiahad become nearly or quite civilized and human

vt>ized j but the accounts from that quarter reprc

-oteshmiconflictbetween Mahomcdanism aria x ..

ism, and also between civilization and semi-bar'ism. What the result will be finally, we do notdoubt; civilization and Protestantism must, in the

if (

1

end triumph over Islamism and barbarism. But^ how long the contest may continue.how many^ thousands of lives may be sacrificed before the reconquestof the country shall be accomplished, no

^one can now foresee.England has been charged with exercising ar-

bitrary and despotic rule over the natives. No8 doubt she has; that sort of rule they are accus^

tomcd to, and uo other. Government with themis no government that is not despotic, and even

esavage to those in their power.

It needed no additional evidence to establish i

by the Governor's giving his inaugural to the cor- t

respondent of the New York Herald, before ho Ileft Washington, assuring the correspondent thatibe message was approved by the President. Themessage was made public in Kansas on the 27th e
