To the Editor Of the Telegraph:


SIR: 1T is understood, in this vicinity, that
some persons holding appointments, under the
present administration, such Light House
Keepers" &c, have entered into engagements
to resign, in favor of certain individuals profess
sing to be Wings, on conditions, that if such per-
sons should be appointed through their manage
ment, they shall receive under the name of
"Jetterments," an cxhorbitant immunity. 1t is
thought, in this vicinity, that the appointing
power Of the succeeding administration, should
be made acquainted with these facts in order that
those who may become parties, IN such corrupt
policy, merely to secure a profitable place,
Through the aid of loco loco intrigued should be
held up as examples, and receive dis-appoinf-
ment, they will richly merit. BooTHBAY.


We have heard something of this chicanery,
and feel obliged to our correspondent, that he has
called the attention of our readers to the subject.
We can conceive of no possible circumstances,
which could for moment, justify any true DEM
ocratic Wing, in becoming party to an arrange
ment, of the character referred to by our cores
pondent.


We have heard of similar movements, in other
sections Of this State; and likewise in other
States in some cases this "bar argaining' sys-
tenn, has been applied to offices of considerable
Importance.


Now it is evidently wrong, in toto, that any
such rascalty, should be tolerated, by the new
administration. In truth, we not sure, but
these cases, should demand the earliest consdera-
ton. 1t is manifestly, an open breach of the
fundamental principles of democracy, and should
be visited with the same reward any other
abuse of power.


We can hardly suppose that these remarks will
apply to any real Whig-but if such should be
the case, we would caution them as to how they
handle weapons, which belong not to the demo-
cratic Wing mode of warfare. 1t is best to be
careful how you make your bargains. The people
will submit to no such corruption-its is this they
have just condemned.
