GO We repubhsh to-day an extract ofa letter from
Mr.. Stanberry of Ohio, to his constituents which
places the consistency Of our Southern anti-tariE
Statesmen. who advocated and still support the add
ministration of Andrew Jackson, in marvellous pro-
per light. Ohio aud Pennsylvania were in his favor,
because the political course of Gen Jackson had left
no doubt, that he in favor both of the Tariff and
Internal Observation-Disclosures and The South, be-
Cause no doubt existed that he would be opposed to
these unconstitutional Just, and oppressive inca
sures We shall see which party was mistaken. The
President will be obliged to drop his mask in few
days. Not oil the ingenuity of the Secretary of
State avoid it. The bill referred to by the ex-
tract, we this day publish from the National Journal
must decide the question, and we are reoiced that
the time has arrived That 1t would and must come
sooner or later knew, and we had little doubt, that
che Presidents course would be utterly opposed to
the views fthe South. Perhaps some of the read
ers of the Richmond Enquirer, have borne in mind
the speculatons of its Editor ON the Buffaloe Road
Ball, while that was pending before Congress- if not,
we may take occasion hereafter refresh their men,
cries flour surmise is not incorrect we shall have
occasion to refer to this subject again.
We are pleased to find that Gen Harrison has
been received on his return Ohio in manner the
most grateful to his feelings We have received and
shall publish tomorrow. the proceedings at din
ner given him in Cincinnati. The Generals speech
will be read by persons of all parties with pleasure
We admire it most of all for the mild manner in
which he alludes TO political events, after the indec-
orous treatment he has received.
.Aiore Retrenchment The Editors of the National
lntelligencer, in order to correct deceptive state
Inent made by the Editor of the Telegraph. have
published the following statement by which appears
Buff has charged and been paid more than three
times much for publishing the Post office adver
tisements, charged by the Editors of the In
seilgencer for the service before the present
Administration came into Office 1t would be useless,
the Intellgencer remarks, to waste word on this

The Organ, surprising. without the slightest foun-

che Organ says, SIN 1928, it will be that the
equalization of the Post Office Department in this
stDistrict, cost Sc, 295 %. 1t cost, in 1899 but
aS2,6e3 So" In 1928, the Post Office advertising
was made in two papers in this city, the National
journal and National Inteigencer: about one half
of the amount stated was probably received by EACH
and the amount received by each was greater than
that received in 829 by the United States Telegraph
TOR the Post Office advertising So far the facts
truly stated. But what does that proven That eli |
Their of these papers paid for this service more
than they ought TO have been, at greater rate
than the Telegraph has been? So far from it, the |
reader will find it demonstrated, by the annexed
statement that, had the Intelligencer and Journal
been allowed at the same rate that the Telegraph
has been paid, they would each have received not |
three thousand and hundred dollars, as they did,
but ten thousand dollars for the advertising of 1925

OFFICE THE NATIONAL IsTELLIGENcER,
.Tay Is, 1890.
At the request of Messrs Gales and Seaton, |
state that have examined their file for the year $685.
and find that there published IN that year four
different Post Office advertisements, embracing alto
gether FIVE hundred and thirty nine Squares and that
the aggregate charge for the was, the estab
Iished rates of this Office, S3127 SO. That have
examined the single advertisement published in the
u. s. Telegraph, in the year 1920, (much shorter
than the usual annual advertisement and find that il
embraces 108 squares; and the charge therefor, in
proportion to the charges for the years preceding at
this office, would have been $3.50 so Having seen
it stated in official Report from the Post Office
Department, that for advertising for 1929 there was
paid to the proprietor of the Telegraph, s2623 so
have made calculation to show what would have
been received by Gales e. Seato, for The Post Office
advertisement for the year 1923 had it been paid for
at The same rate, and find that the amount would
have been S9g7i SO. THOS DONOHO,
