The specific allegations 81 the o6seisl. in the
guise of questions, are three in number.
The first is, that the National Intelligence il
fed weekly by the Bank Of the United States. -
The fact Is. as proved by the letter from the
Cashier Of the Bank, that, from the time of our
loss of the printing for Congress, we have paid
of to that Bank nearly thirty thousand dollars,
mead of receiving money from it to support our
Establishment. Thcallegation that the existence
Of the Inteligencer is IN any way dependent on
the Bank Of the United States, or any Bank, is
utterly groundless. We state this the mere dis
tnctly, because the same story was industriouly
circulated last winter among the Members Of
Congress.
The second allegation is, that the Senior Edi-
tor has retired INTO the country to splendid
house built for him by the Bank. The material
point of this allegation, Though the others shall
be noticed,) is what concerns the agency Of the
Bank in this building. The reader will observe,
that that part of the allegation is proved, by
the letter Of the Cashier, to be wholly untrue
Thirdly II is alledsed that the Office in which
the lntelgencer is printed, is the property Of the
Bank. So it is. One truth at last. s. One half
penny worth Of bread to this intoerabe deal of
sack" We rent the house from the Bank; aud
We should have rented it from whomsoeyer be-
came the proprietor Of it. For this we owe the
Bank no more favour than we do the baker, from
whom We buy our bread.
The above correspondence proves also, tina,
when we have sought accommodation from the
Bank, it has been refused, except for the small
sum Of $500. re-oaned to US, out Of $500
paid; and that since that loan of $500, period
of Ave months having interviewed, We have not
asked any loans from the Bank, and certainly we
have not thought of doing SO.
So much for the authenticity of the Govern
ment Editors information upon our private at.
fairs, which he sustains the Administration Of
Gen. JACKSON by publishing TO the world Of its
readers.
With regard to the retirement of the Senior
Editor to the country. little as it concerns any
one but himself, it is true that he has removed
his domestic establishment from within the char
tered limits Of the city, partly out ofa love of ru.
raj scenes, and partly to get out of bad neigh
to little farm on the border of the
city "a short walk only to his office which farm
he has had under cultivation, after fashion, for
Is years past The splendid house" in which
he resides, is one story framed cottage, large
enough to hold his family. with spare room tor a
friend Though habitable, he has not been able yet
to finish it, Its not painted hardly plaistered, nor
enclosed. except by the native forest trees which
it. But, such as it Is. if any two or
three homes. men of the Administration party
will visit his abode. when the senior editor" is
at home, which is always the case in the evening,
they shall receive cheerful welcome. To re-
fresh them they shall have choice of two springs
of excellent wafer or, if they prefer it. glass
Of generous wine, such as they NAV have tasted
in other days. before the Editor of the Official
lropt from the clouds among the hospitable, So
cial, and liberal People of Washington. After
which they shall have full liberty to inspect tie
premises, and make trie report, if they will. OF
all that they can discover, TO he Oiicial, their
admired organ. We do not know that the Edi- |
tor would then retract whathe has publishcd-we
believe it is not his custom-but he could not help
being ashamed Of it.
We have now done with the Official.
"The Telegraph Establishment located in the
rear Of his late CITY residence.
