Extracts from the Dairy of an OfficeSeeker.
A greasy, much-thumbed manuscript
was picked up some timesince near the
Post Office which on being carefully
unrolled and scanned, turned out to be
the Diary of one Marcellus Shinn. As
it portrays the manceuvres and_ snfferings of au office seeker, a few extracts
would be appiopse just now, to the peopie know how these things are managed. We begin at a point where Mr.
Shin appears to haye been reduced to
extremities,
Things are becoming desperate; I
can’t live on my wits much longer. I
have exhausted all the reputable dodges
to raise the wind, and my acquaintances
are becoming shy of me. Asto borrowing any more that’s out of the question.
I'm afraid my credit’s hurt. What's to
be done, Marcellus Shinn! I can’t
work—work’s out of the question. Well
then whatcan a fellow get at which will
pay him weli and not make much of a
call upon his time and none upoi_ his
brains? I'll take anight to think of it.
There must bé a place of that kind some
where and ifit can be found it’s just the
thing for mé,
Eureka! I have foundit. After puzzling my brains for an hour, I luckily
hit upon it—I'll run for an office! I believe I’ve got all the qualifications neeessary, and if I haven’tit’s nobody's
business.—In office I'll draw my salary
and take my ease. It’s tlie only thing
that wont require a change in my habits.
I hate change—I'm too old for it now.
Besides your fickle-minded man is never
respected. So anoffice it shallbe ; but
how to get elected is the thing. It’s a
great bore that electioneering and will
require a deal of work. Why don’t we
have hereditary offices in this country,
aud why didn’t one descend to me? Providence evidently made a mistake in
I was intended for an office-holder, and should
have been born the son of a peer or a
treasury clerk. But as IT wasn’t I suppose I'll have to work for once in my
life—for an election. Let me see what
big man that’s got money wants to serve
the dear people, and would like my vote
and influence, in case of my election.
Ahihaveit. There’s the Hon. John
Podgers—he’s the very man l’]] have a
talk with him te-morrow.
I have seen the Hon. John; «nd econfess I wasn’t very much prepossessed—
the man’s evidently selfish. He received
me very coldly at first, but when I told
him a large number of friends had insisted upon my running for office and that I
was disposed to yieldto their solicita~
tions, but would like to consult him as
the leader of the party first, a smile broke
out all over his countenance, and le was
all cordiality. He inquired anxiously
after my health and my friends ; gentiy
intimated that his friends were pushing
him fora high offee. and hoped we
should be found battling the enemy side
by side. ‘This broke theice: of course
we shonld. Ishould probably have a
vote to cast, and he knew the man who
would get it. I enlarged upon my
great eircle of acquaintances and devoted friends, and hinted in the most delicate manner that nothing was wanting
to secure my election but funds for the
campaign.—He understood at once and
‘said that such was his devotion to the
cause, which with him was the country,
and that he would fully coutribute a
thousand to get good and true men into
office. I was of course duiy thankful,
and complimented him on his patriotism.
The check was drawn,and I pocketed it,
and after again delicately extracting a
promise of my vote he shook me warmly
by the hand, and Ele,
Whiat’s to be done next ? The Nominating Convention is to meet in a _fortnight, and: the delegates are to be elected next week. ‘Fhat’s the point to work
at. Pil see Jones and Smithers who are
running for office, too—not mine; though
—and we’ll:arrange a ticket between us.
In the mean time. I must have something in our paper. Let me see. This
will do:
“At the earnest solicitation of his nu=
merous friends and aditrers; Mercellus
Shinn has been prevailed upon’ to allow
his name to go before the convetition as
a candidate for office. His great popu~
larity will be a tower of strength to his
ticket, while his eminent abilities and
pre eminent fitness forthe post are known
to all. He will be supported by Many .
Patrio®s.”
That will bring me before the public,
and if I can only get a notice: from the

I had a free conference with Jones and
Smithers this morning, and after a good
deal of beating about the bush, we came
to terms. ‘They were to work for me, on
condition of my working for them. We
wet in Jones’ and concocted a ticket for
the Convention. We put fellows on that

control the grog shop vote, and that’s a
most important item gained.

isan invitation to him to goin and

electioneering is devilish expensive, I
find. I had to give Wilkins and Ruftins,
a cool hundred each to treat the roughs,

The election of delegates takes place
to-morrow. I think I’ve managed pret~
ty well. Wilkins and Ruffins are hard
at work. We engaged a select band of
half a dozen good fighters to be on hand
at the polls to morrow. They'll whip
off all the men of that cursed Thompson
who is running against me, and if neces~
sary, change their clothes, and vute at
all the precinets haif a dozen times over.
Let me see; I think I can count on their
casting fifteen ortwenty votes apiece,
which would give me, for the six, about
ninety or a hundred. Idont just now

necessary. Ah! yes—the carriages; ‘1

every delegate I could lay my bands on,
and two of my friends whom } had promised to make my deputies, if elected,
were working away like good fellows on

druak and Rufiinsa little unsteady.
Their confidential side whispers “ ‘That
it was all right’? were muttered in rather
thick voice. The Convention sat
closed doors, and for two hours I was in
anagony. Every now and then a thirsty delegate would come out and twenty
candidates would make a dive for him.
I managed to get hold of several and
they told me it was a tightrace between
me and Thompson: There had been
six ballots and no nomination. I sent
for Rufins and told him fo negotiate
with Fidget’s friend who polled a small
vote, but heid the balance of power between mé and Thompson. He told me
tthe only chance I had of getting their
vote, was in considering of his, (Ruffin’s)
and Wilkin’s deserting Jones and Smithers and promising to vote for Fidget for
Jones’ office, and this they could not do
withont consideration. I slipped another
hundred into his hand and promised him
aceputyship and he went back. confident
of my nomination. Ina little while I
hearda great clapping and stamping of
feet, and three cheers within for Shinn.

shouted *Shinn’s nominated.” It was
even so and after another exhausting
treat I left the Loafer’s Retreat and re~

out strong for me this morning. Its remarks are highly complimentary, and
I’ll incorporate them in my journal.—
Here they are:—“It gives us unfeigned
pleasure to announce that our distincuished fellow eitizen, Mareellus Shinn.
Esq., was last night nominated by the
convention on the seventh ballot for
the office of Public Curator and Financial Redeemer. He is a man of eminent abilities and transeendent purity
of character, and is the very best posble selection the convention could have
madeWe congratulate the party in
having so glorious a standard bearer, so
noble an exponent of their time honored principles. He will be elected by an
overwhelming majority.” 1 only hupe
this may prove true. Our party is in
the majority and must elect me.
The election comes off to-morrow.—
There’s disaffection in our ranks.—
Jones and Smithers are working hard
against me. Let them vote against me
if they dare! I'll watch them, and if
they do they are politically damned for
the future. I’m afraid I shall not command the party strength. There is a
set of cursed Puritans who prate about
my lack of qualifications and standing,
and all that sort of nonsense. Why,
what other qualifications and standing
than I’ve got are required in an office
holder now-a-days? They say I've got
no reputable mode of living, and never
did a stroke of work in my life; that I
frequent grog shops, and my opponents
don’t kesitate to eall me a loafer. The
Tempest of Freedom however, battles
manfally for me. Until I read my
praises there I really did not know
what a splendid fellow I was. The
Tempest says I am the best pos-ible se-’
ection for the office, and bear ai irreproachable character in the community, and Uhave no doubt there’s a deal of
truth in what it says. Butlet me sea
