The Governor's popularity has tan increased, since lie distanced his demuerat-i: nsraesake, and Gen.

The Boston Post snys that "Ihe Whig administration need not tukeso much pains to exclude the Democrats from ollice, as the offices for Ihn most part merely starve the ineumheuls." That beinjj the case, it would bo charitable in the post to presume that, where Democrats are excluded from olliec, it is merely lo protect them from s'arvation.
