THE GAG CIRCULAR.
The Rtpublican and ourself aio at Issue as to
tho constitutional bearing of the Circular issued
ostensibly for the new office holders, but intended,
as wo believe, to justify the removal of old and
faithful public officers.
Tho Republican misapprehends our remaiks,
whon limy conceive that “tho Georgian defends to
iho full extent, tke nctive interference of office hold
ers in controlling elections.”
In limine wo wish our opinion to be understood,
While we contend tliut a citizen, when he accepts
an offico under Government, yields no constitutional
right, guaranteed to him as a citizen of the Kcpub'
'lie, more especially as a citizen of tho Stato in
•which he resides, wo would condemn nny measure
'ending to “control" tho oloclive franchise,wholher
“at the polls, by threats or intimidation, or in the
Vrhrato walks of life, by deprivation of the means
*»f support, or by bribery in any form-
•Xll wo ask for tho cititon is that when ho con
sents,‘for tx decant maintenance for "himifolf and
^family, to serve bis country in an official capacity
that he shall not be marked as ono who has thereby
■yielded any atom of tiro fights inherent in everj
citizen.
With ibis principle, which no citizen should yield
’even for life itself, we nssort that tho Circular
which has boen rrconlly issued from the Executive
.points at ono class of our citizens to tho exclusion
'of tho great majority, not tramelled with edicts,
•Hthe Executive confines himself to Circulars in
tended to regulate tlm receipt and collection of tin
public moneys, and olhor public duties incumbcn
'upon the citizen holding office, duties prescribed b;
the Constitution and the laws, wo have no disposi
tion to object to such.
I3ul he should not tianscend tiro limits prcscriber
by the Constitution, no more than he should "o'or
step tho modosty of nature.”
Standing as we do on tho broad platform of tin
charter of our liberties, whether an officeholder o
no office holder, we would opposa any oncroachmcn
on our reserved rights ns wo would spurn nny nt
tempt to influenco onr course, ns u conductor of
free press, by foe nr reward.
Tho President of tho parly, which lias laid
acquired power, has often inveighed against the
extent of Executive potronngc. If ho wishes to be
consistent in his professions let him bo sutisned wills
tho control ho has over the timid, and tho power to
Temove for tho least violation of official duty, in a
mural sonse, but if sincere in those professions, let
1dm not strive to control the polidcul actions of the
citizen, with which lie lias no right to interfere.—
We contend that tho Constitution confers no such
Tight.
In this wo seem to differ matetiolly from tho Re*
.publican. Ho, if wo understand our neighbor,
-contends strenuously for tho light of tho Executive
to forbid partiian interference, on tho part-of office
holders, In popular olcctiont- Wo contend that ho,
the Executive, himsulf inlerfcret with tho consti
tutional right of thocitlzon, when he directs a tur-

imposition, fte'ny of llte Postmasters of his teim
were whig*, while the offices of clerks at Washing-
ion, now sought for by Whig members of Congress,
weio crowded by men opposed in political feeling,
ui the past administrations. We shall see whether
bis forbearance, evincing a tcspect for individual
'pinions, will bo observed, and how far by the Re
fomert of the present day.
Wo have a shadow of coming events in tho re-
moval of such an officer os Mr. Gardner, of the Post
Offico Deportment; of Mr. Ilurchurd, and others,
whoso only fault, which offundud tho nostrils of
hoso in power, is that they wero members of the
Jumocrsrtic party, and political fiiends of Mr. Van
Jurcn.
Horo wo must pause for want of room to continue
ho subject at this time, and in tlm meantime pro
ont to our readers tho remarks of the Horlford
Times on the Circular.
THE CIRCULAR.
Wo knettr not when we IraVo seen a more impu
dent and hypocritical letter, private or public, than
his ono of Mr. Webster's, whether proceeding from
ho President or from his cabinet. Let us for a mo
mont inquire, how tho acts of 'the administration
corresponds with tho declaration hero »ct forth.
iVhy was John J. Morgan removed from tho office
if Collector of tho Pori of New York, and Edward
putties unpointed? Mr. Morgan was not a mu titan,
and cduhi not come within tho rule here laid down;
mt there hi not a more violent nnd furious partisan,

they have been snch, and does the Secretary of
State, under such a slate of things issue, under the
direction of tho President, such nn edict as till-?
To some extent, tho public mind has been dobaucli
ed and deceived during the late election, but the
people nro not so stuliiliod and besotted as the uu
thor of this document supposes. When wo sec the
President himself removing some of tho host nnd
most responsible officers in tho country, and pulling
in tbeir places violent partisans, bankrupt in clnirnc
ter, ns they ure in propet ty, what are wo to think
of (tils letter? Tills W not llko tho "gold spoon”

compare with officiul acts. It is notorious tlmt dr

applicants fur utlico—that they huso their preton
tions on party sorvieos—that their only claim Is, 1
because they have interfered more than nny others
in elections, and dono those dirty deeds that men iff
character would scorn. Let the rational and liouosi
portion of the whig* themselves, reflect on these
things—let them sue what the whig* do—lot them

acts of removals that have been made, and nra to

my attempt to interfere with the natural rights of
hi* tuba'torn. If in any branch of our country's
servico tho right of such interference could be as
serted, it might bo in thoso where the strict rules of
discipline enable tho officer to iinpono duties on u
subaltern sometimes partuking of encroachment on
Lis reserved rights.
We Imvo often heard of tho noble blood of Ame
rica's free born son*, mantling on their chock*
when tile tyranny of official power wns exerci
sed against tho subaltern, who was too proud to
brook any interference with his conduct as a man,
while he wa* too boiiotabln togivo any cause for
•complaint of his deportment as a soldlor and a gun-
Reman.
Wo have henrd too of appenls of tiro youthful
officor to the propor tribunals for redress when he
has conceived that his hereditary privilege—the
bright inheritance of conslitiiiionnl freedom,has been
uttompted to be wrested from him by tho exercise!
•of that official arrogance which will sometime*
taint the chnracter of his otherwise noble chief.
Wa think higher of the man who is so tenaciausl
of bis privilege*.
Let the Executive edicts,of the character we huve
been considering, be lanctioncd by public opinion,
and high-minded men," tho salt of tiro earth,” who|
disdain to
«• crook the pregnant hinges of the knee
Where thrift may follow fawning,"
will be driven from responsible station*, and the
cringing and the subservient bo tliru«t into tho plu-
ces their superiors should occupy, nnd become in
the hands of a weak or nmbitiou* Executive " the
pliant instruments of Executive will.”
This ratification by the public of the least en
croachment on the right* of tho cititon—this cluck
of concession” to the acts of the Executive, if even
supported by all tho great names in ancient or
modern times, should bo met by a free prett with
••the tone of defiance.”
But we aro charged with defending tho courso ol
President Jackson nnd his successor "in making
removals throughout the country, from the very mo
ment of the accession to office of tho former iacum
bent, to thu exit from offico of tho latter one.”
Supposa we did, we would ask the Republican if
he did not, a* a privolo citizen, (a* wo Imvo a righ
to presume from hi* opposition to the late Ad minis-
lion) condemn ilia practice ho soys wo defended?
We would then inquire—if tho Editor condemned
the practico then, is it not right to condemn it now?
If be did not justify it at that time, would it not be
consistent to withhold a justification of the practice
now I
But wa would remark, that while wo approve
•of rotation in office, where the interests of the coun.
try will not suffer by tho change, or where such
change would not work peculiar hardship to the in
dividual not re-appointed, we would disapprove of
those ejections from office, made merely to reward
the zeal of partisans, while tho Executive so acting
professes to secure to the public officer, to the fullest
degree, the exercise of the right of suffrage.
This we contend is to blow the fire ot one mo
ment, and to extinguish it tho next—and so alter
(lately.
We do not pretend to say that either the indepen
dent Jackson or his vinuou* successor were infalli
ble and never erred. 'Tia but tha attiihuteof Omni'

The removals that lmd boon mndu by Messrs

this port and district, have created vary grent ox-
