that he has received from government for

eighty thousand dollars, the regular profits
OF which have been great. & the **xX*##x

told that the fellow is scarcely worth six

Well-Last session, Mr.. Jackson 4
member Of the house of representatives
ifom this state, brought forward a resolu.
ton TO give the printing business and the
supply OF stationary 10 the 67uest bidder
who gave the best security. The part,cu-
Tar friends of Mr.. Dunn, such as Mr. Smi-
ley, Mr.. Randolph, and Doctor Leib OPP
posed this resolution, not from motives of
economy, not from a wish to save the peo-
PIES money, but a patriotic, and highly
commenda able desire to reward Mr.. Patri.
OF Dunn, for his great services in the cause
OF genuine republicanism. The oppo-
sItion was irnitless; ahou, 70 to 20 in favor
OF Mr.. j~ackson's resolution. The contract
ing was left with Beckley, the clerk Of the
house and last week the contract was
closed with Mr.. Andrew Way of Wash
Ington. TO do all the printing, and with Mr..
Edgar Patterson Of Georgetown to sup
ply all the stationary: So that poor Duane
IS fast becoming feather!ess. The secreta-
RES refusing TO ;ake the stationary OF him
was taking out his tail feathers {; this con-
tract with Way and Patterson, quite lops
one wing; the Freeman's Journal and O.
ther democratic papers are continually
plucking his pin feathers, ?-Nothing re.
mains but the printing for the senate, and
this he will loose when the last feathers of
the remaining wing will be off, and the
naked buzzard will fall to the ground.
