NEU YORK AUCTIONS.

There not this whole country we doubt II there IS
any country such hot bed for the growth OF rank weeds
# corruption as the New York sales by auction The
has grown to enormous slze poisoning every thing
its neighbourho 3D. and sending its noxous influence
throughout the wide Republic.
IhreetOurs of the goods with which that city gut-
ed the draining and exhaustion of the silver and
gold OF the country, imported on account OF foreign
merchants and manufacturers who can make so many trips
between Liverpool and New York, before the CUSTOM
ouse by a required to be paid, that they
enabled entire fictitious capital on the Unit
I'd States Government credits alone!
Who doubt that this state Of things must produce
tie enormous evils who wonders that the country
distressed who does not wonder that all honest and re-
uIar dealing, and dealers have not been swept from the
face of the Country.
To :e facts clearer, let us enter into particulars
British manufacturer sends large importation of in
or damaged goods, lhe public well rememb the
frauds detected last year in respect to cooTs set drum IN
he iauoce at price in order hat The duties the
ton, house may b. far possible avoided The duties
are be pad under tzSeiue monthS-the goods are
thrown into auction room, sold without the purchaser
seeing the low nlolce by which the Government duties
we're evaded, the money goes into bills of exchange on
houses England which must often be met by drawing
spece from the banks send there Now let simplest
reader understand this matter; the prosperity of the Re-
public depend7 their understanding it, 80 l3 cents Of
every dollar OF this money which goes to England IN Bills
of Exchange, is the money Of goUernnea because the
goods sold we'll to pay the duties as to pay the
manufacturers and the price consists about third Of
of the duties But the Government does not receive their
part; it remains in the hands OF British Importers and
Manufacturers and they 1t of to England to BUY
new cargo of fraudulent goods (often mean not III
levery ance) which again to be frauduenty passed
through the custom house, sold at alcton the proceeds
sent bach, including, at this stage OF the concern oo 2o
cents Of the Governments money, in every dollar OF 1t
another cargo brought out in the same way until the
whole of the becomes the money OF the American
Government, the duties three cargoes, which may
he brogh here and sold, and the money sent back TO
Eng and before the duties the first cargo becomes due,
amount woolen goods, to dollar III every dollar OF
the capital other words, the whole concern stands and
conducted the capital which ought to be in our trea
stry or the goods in the warehouse Was ever any
thing so monstrous What the importer if he fail
his fourth voyage. He looses nothing, he has nothing
ito lose because does trade his own money, but
upon that OF Government. Feiiowcltzens--we en-
cat rs you love your country and your chdren that you
would ar use yourselves and remedy this enormous evil.
But there to be told. These auction houses IT
Nw York do great business. They swallow all the othe
houses up; they raise splendid fortunes like the exlaa
,ton, of the morning, and they become doubt some
times against their w,shes the instrument Of bribery
Icorrupton. We will state few words what we nave heart
yvars ago The Legislature Of Nuu York iene auconeers
Wheu an to be mac such persons as Mr. Noal
to the large auction dealers, and say, We must have
$4,000 to support the ticket OF the great Republican
oarty' IN ls city and this election; you must draw you
check for 500 OF it that is your part The auconee
ldoes it; he dare not dsobey for it he did, away wou
g., his cence Thus does reciprocal corruption act am
Teact Thus does Van Buren,, and e. Cambreeng
and VI. Nj. IInah operate with their great Republica
Party" their caucussng," their "carngs." and thei
" non commitas" How long People OF New York, hoy
long will you submit to these things {
