We con-1 strue oirr duty otlierw ise. We consider it the da- i ty of an Editor to preserve, as far as possible, tbe scales of justice in exact equilibrium. \Ve, on the one hand, would wish to protect the liberty of ihe citizen; rv would preserve tho sanctity of the laws: and on the other, we wouSd protect even the offender, from illegal, ox unmeasured punish ment. Certainly, every member of society is in terested in giving such a character, and preserv ing such privileges to the public press. Regu lated on such principles, it is the best guarantee of the purity of our public institutions and our individual rights. Conducted differently, it would i>e an engine of oppression We yesterday published an article from the U. 3.

In the Summer there are many more felonious offenees than iu the Winter; but it is gener; ily. in the colder months that crimes of the greatest atrocity are perpetwited.

The Editor of the •Colonial Advocate who is a member of the parlia ment of the colony, and distinguished for his spir ited opposition, thus speaks of the labours of the ’ legislature and executive: ‘The first eestioa of the tenth parliament of Upper Canada draw’s near to its end. Tho two house3 will be prorogued on tho 20th mst. and the , sittings will terminate as many sessions have done . in tin'QS past, with less beneficial ieoßsequences to the puhlie than was expected from the delibera tions of the people’s representatives.

John CaLborne had to apply to the King at London j for leave to inforgi us ivhut became of it, and has ! not yet obtained the necessary permission.” Removals from Office. —An individual, who in political feeling, cannot bn suspected of any want of attachment to the new Administration; and who is esteemed, and has been .frequently quoted by the Jackson party as an authority on points of Constitutional law, gave the following opinion on ffie subject of removals from twenty vears ago: ••Removals ougbt to be subject to some rule, founded on the terms of the pow-er given; nor is it a very republican construction that converts the Chief Magistrate into an arbitrary tyrant, that exonerates him from responsibility, and authorizes him to punish his political opponents as criminals, and substitute private rancour for public justice .” Again, the same authority sa’ s: “A power .to appoint to public offices becoming vacant .is neces sary to the public good, which requires them to be filled; but the powerto remove a deserving officer may serve to gratify private animosity, or promote electioncerin r interests, or remunerate election• Gearing set rices, but it is not necessary for the public good.” And again: power to appoint, generally, does not imply a power of removal, accordion- to modern as well as ancient decision ” Journal. the -U.

Yesterday was appointed for arguing the same, but on account of tUe plaumff s not having an affidavit off debt, 4&c. the defendant was disc harged. A similar .rule was yesterday made, returnable before the Judges of (he Superior Court,.calling upon Mr. Parkins, to show cause of action. The case was.discussed at different periods of the day, and it was finally ordered to lie ovor until.thisvmorning, that the plain tiff may be enabled t.o adduce the affidavits of rthe British Consul and Mr. Goodhue, for the purpose of showing that Mr. Ste phenson voluntarily surrendered himself in to their custody. The EveningTost states, that within 36 hours after the .uew&of the late murders and piracies had reached the department of state; | peremptory orders were issued from the i President, tor ,the Natchez, to.sail in 24 hours at farthest, with instructions :to the commander of the squadron, thoroughly to scour the VV.-est India seas without cessa tion, and to visit every port which could afford the murderers any shelter, at least once a week.

Journal of Commerce. The course recommended to Genial Jackson by xtrong political partisans i re spect to appointments ana rec;<*, y one which we should exceedingly demeen'e.— 1 n the Ministerial Cabinp; a it is evidently proper that lie should call to his aid those only who concur in his general views of policy, and who will be likely to sustain his measures: because by a different .cpprwi the unity of counsel would he destroyed, and the energy of government impaired.— I’he same reason operates, to extent, jQ the case of foreign ministers. But when Wc descend to post masters, officers of re venue, &c. it certainly appears to he car rying the doctrine of favoritism 100 far, to remove men from office who foj-ve proved themselves competent .and faithful, for no other reason than because .tfosy befriended the late administration. The effect of such a system, when carried into detail, is injurious in various ways.— X. ft removes from office men of experience <jnd faithfulness, and substitutes others who have had no ex;x?rience. and whose faith fulness is yet to be tried. 2. It annihilates the motives to correct management, which arise from the nope of continuance in office during good behaviour 3. It induces op position to the existing government, by pro | mising a reward to such as are active in in troducing anew administration; and thus makes pul it cs trade. 4. It increases party excitement at and before elections, by ap pealing to the interests of office holders and office seekers, and arraying them against each other. 5. It iu;rkes defeat more dis astrous; aud iu case of doubts as to the constitutionality of an election, offers in ducements to forcible resistance. YVe know not hoiv far Gen. Jackson in tends to cany this system of pioscription; foil we trust in his goodness and candor, that lie will not proceed to extremes. YY'e agreeTwith the General, that “Rotation in office is a republican principle’ —and with in certain limits it is undoubtedly a correct one. But in order to make this principle appear., the wheel must not roll off one set of men, while it retains another who have been on it at least as long, and .only differ j in the shape of their political creed. Gen. J Jackson is.now President of the Nation,,! instead of the idol of a parity; all ycknowi- > edge hi it as such; and we only hope that lie will acknowledge himself so, by forget ting past animosities, and pursuing an im partial, enlightened,and conciliatory co.urse, towards all oyer w hom be presides. Elswortu, (Me.) March 11. Shocking Accident. —it falls to our lot to day to record one of those melancholy accidents which so often happens, iff late., in the discharge df cannon on public occa sion. On the 4 h inst. the friends of Gen. Jackson, in this town, undertook to fire a salute in honor of his taking the chair of State; and after 6 ot 8 discharges, and while Mr. Joseph Alt-zander was ranting home the cartridge, rt tool fire from the scales upon the inside of the piece, (which was au .old rusty four pounder, ) or some other cause unknown, and went off, throw ing Mr. A 10 or 12 f eet, leaving both his arms orbtwe the-elbow,, and mangling his hands and wrists in n most shocking man ner. On examination, it was found neces sary to amputate both, a few inches below the shoulder joint, an amputation was ac cordingly performed by Drs. Peck and Greefy, in a very neat and expeditious manner, highly credible to the .operators and to this section of this country where so few opportunities for surgery are o ffc r e <l. fJouric.r. THE STEAM ENGINE. “Against the breeze, against the tide She steadies with upright keel.” ‘We extract the following eloquent and brilliant passage from lhe este.rn Souvenir. It is worth a dozen love stories, which, as they are generally got up in our Souvenirs and Tokens, are either Intolerably stupid or supremely ridiculous: “The rudest inhabitant of our forests— the man Whoso mind is least of ail imbued with a relishfor she picturesque —who would gaze with vacant stare at tbe-ffnest painting; listen with apathy to softest melody, and turn with indifference from a mere display of ingenious mechanism.is struck with the sublime power and self-moving majesty of a steam boat; lingers on the shore where it passes; and follows its rapid, and almost magic course with silent admiration.

The Press of Holland-— Tbe Dutch newspapers arc only rcsnnrkable for one feature of inleHigonce-^adviirlfoegumts. — All news of another kind seem to be beneath the notice of thrii’ conductors. Accounts of marriages, bordering on hyperbole, fill a large portion of their columns, and the re mainder is almost exclusively devoted to births and death. A fine serial vein runs through these announcements, as much as to intimate a belief that the whole world will feel as much interest in the event as the advertiser himself. There is great simplicity and confiding kindheartedness in the followiiu’i-r ----“Toour ftfonds and acquaintance—wc, the undersigned, are married 1 It reads as if tho newly-married couple, relying upon the happiness which the tw embellished fact would impart, contented themselves by merely stating it without pomp or flourish. When a birth occurs, the advertisement is uniformly signed by the father, and generally concludes in a rhspsody upon the virtues of the mother. Rut the deaths are the most characteristic. Take a specimen:— ‘To-day depaited, nftora sickness of 10 days, my beloved wife. She has left me and her gray-haired mother in a state of despair. Weep with us, all who knew her; weep with my children. They have yet to learn their loss, which they will learn too soon ’ This little history of a sorrow, related in the first person, would be a standing joke in England. Yet tbe Dutch have as little poetry in their nature as any people tinder the Sun. We dare say, the old Burgomas ter, who framed the above, was deliberate ly smoking a long pipe all the time; and was quite as sincere in his grief as he was zealous in his tobacco. Why should not a may weep and whiff simultaneously. A notber specimen, “My deeply Joved wife died yesterday She has left me a pledge of love ouiy three weeks old. Bitter my .sorrow.’’ This is less ostentatious, but to the full as calamitous. Hear the lament of au aged parent for a daughter forty seven years ojd “in my old age sorrow has overtaken jne. Yesterday evening my daugihrr died, | ipged 47 years. Those who knew her will know my grief—and those, too, who knew what she was to me. In the comforts of religion I put my trust/ 1 Our English advertisements ar t n rarely r closed by a moral of this exalted kfod <— i YVe paint a picture of paradise for the de ’• ceased, and seldom care to sketch a.path for the living. \\ r e speak of the departed as having certainly gone Xo Heaven, and iu our care to provide for the dead seldom ; tiunk of ourselves. The Dutchman feels the lesson of mortality, aud proffts ly iL— ‘There is this difference between us—we invest death with a glorious hereafter—he clothes life in hope and humiliation Even in t*be distinctions of ‘belief, the national characteristics break out. it appears, however, that the Dutch ladies exhibit their tenderness after another fashion. “After a sickness of a few days, my be loved husband, died to day Deeply a diet ed with my sixk children, l repose in the hope of his resurrection, and I beg to re commend myself for the sale of coffee, tea, and such matters, ito the general satisfac tion.” The widow lost no time in advertising her widowship and her teas. We hope she had a quick sale and return for both. London Atlas. Phe National Intelligencer , published in the City of Washington* by Gales Seaton. The National Intelligencer is an old es tablished Journal, at the Seat of the Gen eral Government. It publishes, original, regularly, and fully, the Proceedings and Debates of Congress; also, all the State Papers and Documents of public interest, laid betore -Congress, or originating in that body, and all the Acts passed by them.— These in addition to the variety of other information which is to be found in its columns, connected with the General Interests of our own country, with Literature and Science, and the affairs of the world ai large; together with Die char— : acter of general fairness which -the .paper , has sustained under its present editors, foi j many years make the National Intelligen cer useful, and even valuable, to all who , feel an interest .in the .concerns of this or of j other countries. 1 np l. _ -at .: > t . i • • The National Intelligoncer is not a par ty paper, but .censures or approves where censure or approbation seems to be due to public measures It supported the Admin istration of the General Government, when the measures of that Administration were such as to meet its approbation.

For the .independent and impartial course which it has pursued, the National Intel ligencer has been denounced, and an at tempt ,has been made to put it down, right or wrong, by the strong arm (/ pow er directed by caucus agency. The .at tempt is as vain as it would be fur any modem prophet to bid the sun stand still. Thirty years old, this National,paper is not in its prime, hut acquires strength and pow er with -every day of its existence.
