HEADS OFF!

By reference to our Guillotine, it will be seen that three more heads are off. Of the removal of Mr Dana, of Danville, a very worthy and gentlemanly young man, as we know from personal acquaintance, the North Star says "Charles S. Dana, Esq., we learn, has been removed from the office of Postmaster in this town, and Solon J. Y. Vail, appointed in his stead—both good "Tip and Ty" men, but unfortunately for the former, he does not belong "to the firm"—he is not "one of our concern," including, of course, the President, Directors & Co. of a certain Bank."

In relation to Mr Hammond, of Reading, we are assured that four-fifths of the freemen of the town were opposed to a removal. But this is nothing—Horace Everett has the management of these things, and his friends must be rewarded, as in the case of Gilkey, Baxter, Burton, Gould, Cady, &c. let it cost what it will. The successor of Mr Hammond has the true merit; he was a cider singer last summer and a supporter of Everett. We have now fifty heads rolling about the Guillotine, in this State. There are, without doubt, not less than ten more who do not appear in our list; the secrecy with which the business has been conducted rendering it almost impossible for us to obtain a correct list. This would make SIXTY removals for opinion's sake in Vermont alone: more by one third, at the least, and we should feel perfectly safe in saying one half, in SIX MONTHS than was removed during the TWELVE YEARS of Gen. Jackson's and Mr Van Buren's Administrations! and this, too, by the same party who declared during the election that "no man should be removed for opinion's sake." Such is modern whiggery.

REMOVALS IN NEW ENGLAND ONLY!

We keep a regular list of every removal from offices of the general government in New England that comes to our notice, from which we have made up and shall correct as often as once in two weeks, the following table.

Officers Removed in the New England STATES ALONE.

SEE THIS AGAIN!

The "great and good Harrison" was a repealer. the very mover himself, we believe, of the repeal resolutions of 1819. Mr Morehead, who delivered an eulogy on Harrison at Columbus, O., in April, must have very sensibly felt this rebuke:

"Mr Morehead delivered a long speech in the Senate in favor of the Bank bill; and, in the course of his remarks, sneered at Mr Allen of Ohio, because that fearless advocate of the people's rights had given notice that, should the bill be passed he would immediately lay one upon the table for its repeal; but Mr Allen met the Kentuckian by reading to him a resolution, for which Gen. Harrison voted, in 1819, in the following words: "Resolved, that the committee on the judiciary be instructed to report a bill to repeal an act entitled 'an act to incorporate the subscribers to the Bank of the U. States,' passed in 1816;" and this was not all: Gen. Harrison voted for a scire facias to be issued to show cause why the bank's charter should not be forfeited."
