Inc New y ork Courier closes article which we
propose to Notice more at large, with these words:
we VIII here relate an anecdote in relation to this
ana "ther printing, which we had from a member of
congress who is warmly attached to the admnistra-
ton and who is willing that his should be used
if necessary.
"When, during the short session of 1899, Duff
Green was elected printer to Congress, it contem-
plated to give Gales & Seaton the printing of the doc
uments which made so much noise last winter, Duff
strenuously opposed If, and asked day in
presence OF two three why he did so. His replv
was-'Gaes & Seaon are in fact, warmly attached to
General Jackson although circumstances have thrown
them IN the opposition, IN endeavouriDg to support
MIR Adams: give them the printing, and YOU at once
make them independent of the Bank of the United
states and OF their subscribers When Gen. Jacksons
administration commences. they will enjoy his conf
dence, and the confidence Of the party, and in two
years, they will be reelected printers to Congress
ere an honest confession, and yet this talks of
ms dISintoreSted devotion TO the PRESIDENT
The anecdote purports to be on the authority Of n
member of Congress, who is willing that his name
should be used. Moreit is said have transpred in
the presence OF two three members. If So the Lieu
tenant can prove its truth. We pronounce it to be
wlful and dehbcrate o." .-CD without the shadow
OF shade to rest upon. We do not believe that any

Extract of letter from Gen. Daniel l. Barrineer.
Member of Congress from North Carolina, to James

Dear Sir,
Gen. Green stated to me as the ground
OF his opposition to the print of the burnt documents
by Gales & Seaton, that it would render them indie.
pendent OF their newspaper patronagc--that they
"ouio consequently support Gen. Jackson's Admins
raon, and thereby deprive him Gen. Green of Gen
Jackson's confidence"
This is identical with memorandum made at the
time in small common place book
Nothing was farther from nv wish than 10 make
them (the remarks) the subject of newspaper con-
troversy, and should be very sorry in any way to
impede the stream OF public bounty, which he admits
to be essential to the protection and support of his
dependant family" Respectfully, &c
d. l. BARRINGER
We learn from Washington that the part the Ed
tor of the Telegraph has taken in the late CORES
pondence,' and his impudent iusinuatons in relation
to it, have disguised all parties, and except the
'Presdent- making faction, and that those WHO gave
him their votes for Printer rue it most bitterly.
They are now disposed to give credit for even
more political tact than deserve, III predicting as
we have for a year past, the hostility of the Tcc-
graph and al connected with it, to the reelection
of General Jackson. We are not surprised at this.
and it may teach some persons that too much dis
creiion, IS sometimes more injurious than little n-
prudence founded Oh honest purposes. They too,
must learn to bully and hector it, when reason is
without effect.
