American Republican And Baltimore Daily Clipper

Polk is not quick enough in his appointments to satisfy the democracy of Baltimore, and the Democratic Convention has therefore undertaken to prick him into a faster gait. It appears that "the spoils of victory" have not been sufficiently distributed to gratify the craving appetites of all, and the President must therefore proceed to a new division. Some persons, it seems, have had their spoons too long in the treasury pot, whilst others have feasted who had no right—and so, the Democratic Convention thinks it still time that the spoils should change hands, on the principle, we presume, that "turn about is fair play." As this shifting of spoons is the main business of party, and a game at which few are permitted to play, the people at large will feel little interest in the matter.
