We find the fo!loa ing i'll the Pennsylvania

and his DISTINGUISHED spirit III executing the p mt
ing for the different branches o. the government.
including that for Congress. he has saved great
deal of the public money in that branch 81 The
public expenditures. Ii would BE- wei! ior Con
ress To institute an investigation into tbs SUBJECT

certain that the "reform' has only distracted
Iarger.sum from the national treasury than has
ever hitherto been received from II, III the same
srace of time, under the head oil expenses tor
public printing.
Congress may perhaps also render a service
to the nation by an inquiry into an alleged at
tempt recently made by their printer, to eAtort
large accommodation from Bank in Alexandria.
under a menace that unless the accommodation
were granted, the revenue deposits should be
withdrawn from that Institution. We do not
vouch for the accuracy Of this allegation; but" We
| have heard it from a respectable source, and we
have also heard that the Bank referred to receives
no more deposits of public money, and that its
directors aud officers are preparing exposition
! uf the facts of the case for publication, or tor
| presentation TO Congress. 1t these reports be
| unfcundcd. Justice requires their prompt and au
hentc REPUTATION. If they are true. the course
of public duty must clearly present itself to the

has been current here Tor some time. The story
| goes. that he applied for lean oil $1,000,
which was refused; he repeated his application,
with menace, that i! it was not granted, the pub
lie depostes should be Withdrawn; and it was
again rejected. The consequence was, that III
a few days afterwards. the public deposites aciu-

Finding the above in the public papers abroad,
we have thought it right that something should be
known of it at home.
We have eccived "a communication from the
Northern Neck in reference TO the re election ot
Mr.. Taia(err0 from the district Of King George,
&c. Thinking that much injustice has been done
tn Mr.. + in this communication. we decline pub
fishing IL. more especially, as the election Is 50
far off. Mr. Chnn has been brought out in OPP
position to Mr.. Talliatcrro, on what grounds pre-
| cisey, we do not know. ] he communication
before us. charges Mr.. Tallalerro with trim
ming in his policy with regard TO national
politics. There is no evidence of this at ali be-
fore the people. Mr.. L. we believe, is a friend
o Henry Claws; at the same time. he does not
oppose Tor opposition sake, the administration
of General Jackson. Without wishing TO inter
fere in this matter AT all, we must be permitted
10 saw that we regard Mr.. TalIiafcrrO as an at
tcntiye. active aud talented representative, IA
gentleman who is doing all he can for his cOustit
uents His services in Congress have been val
liable and should not be forgotten. In saying
this, we do not wish to derosate in the slightest
degree, from the claims of Mr.. CHM.

We have received the December number of

meetings have been held and we observe the ac-
count of a great meeting Of the friends of Henry
