Portland Gazette, And Maine Advertiser

On Wednesday last, at Cambridge, the Hon. Isaac Parker, Chief Justice of this Commonwealth, was inaugurated Professor of Law in Harvard University.

It is reported that Mr. Dallas is about to resign the office of Secretary of the Treasury, and that Mr. Dexter, of this State, is talked of as his successor.

If little apostates are rewarded why should not great ones have their recompense also?

The editor of a democratic paper remarks, that "many profess themselves partizans of the republican party, from no other views than private interest and emolument." This is strictly true, and must have been long since apparent to the most superficial observer of the conduct of those who have seceded from the federal party and enlisted under the banners of democracy. Look at the turn-coats in Massachusetts, and it will be seen that 99 out of 100 have changed sides, if we may judge of their motives by their conduct, purely from considerations of a private and interested nature. It would be no very difficult task to make out a catalogue of these patriotic gentry, particularly in the District of Maine. They consist principally of two descriptions, such as had lost their credit and influence with the federal party, and were disappointed in their ambitious views; and a parcel of greedy, hungry office-seekers, who, like Esau, will sell their birth-right for a mess of pottage, or like Judas, would betray the best cause in the world for filthy lucre's sake. These men, for the chance of obtaining an office under government that would give them one or two thousand dollars a year, would abandon and curse a Washington, and follow and praise a Bonaparte and all his measures. The servility and want of principle in these men, reader them the fit tools and partizans of the men in power: and hence they have been almost exclusively rewarded in preference to those who have stood in the democratic ranks from the beginning.
