 family to support and can get but little time to read newspapers; but have always called myself Re- publican, ever since the time of Jefferson and al- ways believed the people compstent to appoint their rulers; and never would be persuaded to believe it proper, or right that our Legislature should appoint 90 many officers, without consulting the people; and spend the time for which they are paid by the people, and which should be spent in legislatng for the good of the people; cutting out and distributing to then- selves, and their friends, offices and favors without even the knowledge consent of their constituents except few choice friends: and when man was once appointed, say Justice of the Peace for n- stance, o! he must not be turned out this would be prescription Wel spring before last was told these abuses were all to be removed, and that the Democra tic Republicans were the peculiar friends of the peo pie; and ii they succeeded, every man should have justice done him. Before this, for some years had taken but little interest in politics. but now thought just such principles as these Iapproved accord lngy went to work, heart and hand getting all to the polls which was in my power; and the result was we succeeded. Well, our Legislature went to work, as thought about right. A resolution was introduced to amend the Constitution to have the people ap point Comptroller and Justices of the Peace; and was told that had they had time, provision would have been made for appointing Shenffs, and most of the other offices which appointed by the Legislature, m the same way, hat isl by the people; but if they had the same power another yea- it would all be brought around right Of course, felt in duty bound to do all in my power to support the party, which considered the peoples party; because they sisting the people, and aboshing the distinction be- tween the rich and the poor; between those who had grown fat in office, and the laborng farmer, and me- chanic, to which last class belong.

 Well, we, again succeeded by stronger majority than before; and now thought every thing would be done for the benefit of the people which they needed but how was surprised when learned that the res olution appointing Justices had not passed the House. and the very party opposed was the party had been supporting; and not single resolution had been passed, or offered, designed to relieve the people, ex- ecpt the which had passed the year before regard ing the Comptroller; and this, learned was support ed as much by the other party it was by the party which called my party. How to account for this knew not but was up to Court as witness, (for never was at Court any other business for never sued a man, or was sued in my life,) and thought would make little inquiry of one of the great men that was there; for I had heard he belonged to my party, and was very warm friend to the people and 1 he could explain the whole me to my satisfaction.

 Well, says ], Squire, you tell me how it happen ed that Legislature came to vote down that reso- uon to appoint Justices by the people, that each town could have such men as q ey wanted? and why did they not introduce others to carry on the work of reform, as they commenced, last spring?

 O! sayshe, can tell you all about that but it will not do to say word about it, that it will get out the fact is, these plagy defafwhgs had got the pow CT into their hands, and we knew we must hold up something Aattenng or we never should get it again and we thought this good thing hold out as any and it succeeded to charm. Well then we knew we must do something which would look like carrying out our proessons but tho't last spring we were strong enough take of ourseSes and we Iliot the resolution appointing the Comptroller by the peo- pie would not inure much, as they would not know much about him; and could set up such men as we wished; but if we let them appoint their Sherifs, and Justices, and Judges of Probate and other officers in some towns, and some counties they would get men that did not belong to our party; and we make it rule that no man shall have office unless he will do all in his power to support the party and get others vote with us

 But, says l, you willing an honest and capable man should hold office, are you not-provided his neghbors, and the town, and county, where he re- sides, are we'll acquainted. with him, and he is their choice?

 Yes, says he if he belongs to my party, and will do all in his power to support me if he will not do that,

 will never consent that any man shall be appointed to any office; for find enough that will do it yet.

 But, says I, thought you and your party were the friends of the people: should think this looks more like being friend to yourself

 Why, says he, we must make the people belieue we their friends, they will not support us but you know "charty begins at home and if we can get our own turn served we willing they should take care of themselves, then.

 Well, says if this is the principle you go upon you will not find me following you around another spring And upon that walked off; and when this fall came I voted on the WMG TICKET and if live, and have my health, shall calculate to next spring and have did last spring, and they say they shall never go with them again.
