The Intelligencer moralizes and philosophises with ability and force over the doctrine that “to the victors belong the spoils’’—contending that were the members of the Administration to attempt, in person, to digest all the letters sent to them in connection with applications for office, the task would occupy them, to the ex- clusion of everything else, for fifteen rather than the four years they expect to remain in place. Our respected cotemporary quotes the Richmond South against the doctrine, and the Richmond Examiner in its favor; and then quotes a phillippic from the pen of Thos. Jeffer- son, denouncing unnecessary rotation in office as the greatest incentive to corruption and po- litical de moralization. md left Washington on Monda n- ing at half past 7o’clock, with a large natives oF gentlemen, Wifhout the slightest accident.

The Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral, Mr. King, came here from Maine twenty 8 since as aclerk at $40 perannum. He has reached his present position by promotions for his fidelity ond services. He is a property holder and voter in this District, and whilst proud of giving such men to the service of the country. he requires no further political endotse- ment of her. The Naval Bureau charged to Maine is held by Purser Bridge of the Navy. He was appointed a Purser from Maine. He was appointed to the Bu- Teau from the Navy. This isa naval, and not a political appointment. Gov. A who forms the duties of Commissioner of Customs with distinguished ability, is a political appointment from Maine, and I trust in the arrangement for the future his services will be continued to the Government. From the foregoing figures it would appear that patriotism is n oo cheap in New York as is rep- Tesented by the correspondent of the Herald.
