we have published from time to time the bilious
ana vituperntive illusions of the Kentucky Argus
and the New York Courier the prints not long since
conducted by Kendall and Noah and still in all prob

that the earnest attempts mado reconcile this am-

preservation OF patronage in tho channels through,

this we reckoned without our host. The Arsus and
the Courier continue their attacks upon Mr. Tuzo-

not approve, to the worst motives which could have
produced it, TO abuse, Witty and hunt down every

claims had been rejected on account Of their ieaaty

made himself partizan of Mr. King. He wrote
two long arguments support of the different claims
which he intended to communicate to the accounting
officers, whose nominations had not been confirmed
and who were probably dependent on his influence
and vote for their places.
When lac came to Washington he found that tho
accounting officers had acted on Mr.. Kings claims
and that IN one point which no had argued, their de-
