UNExAMPLED CoRRUPTIoN. Notwithstanding
our oft-repeated resolution no more TO be as
tonished at any thing transporting under the
present administration, yet the facts disclosed
in the memorial of Abraham Bradley, and tho
debate which ensued thereon in the Senate,
have completely "nullifed' all such resolu-
tions. We could believe that thousand faith
full public servants, grown grey in the service,
and kept poor by their honesty, have been turn
cd adrift to make room for a swarm of clamor-
our office holders we could believe that the
venerable Maj Melvill the last of the daring
band who threw the tea overheard, and who
was appointed 10 situation in the Customs by
WAsHIEGToN, should have been turned out of
doors in his old age by Jackson we could be-
lieve that the faithful Nourse should have been
branded as defaulter, and his property seized,
as pretext for giving his place to needy ad-
venturer, when, at the same time, the Govern
ment was indebted TO him. in large amount.
We could believe all these things, and hun
dreds more of enormties because they are re-
corded facts But wa could not have believed
that the records of Department would have
been mutiLated, altered, and .faLsifcd, not only
for the purpose of hiding official delinquency,
but for the still bascr purpose of destroying the
reputation ofa mar. of irreproachable integrity
and character Such being the naked facts,
comment is entirely unnecessary.
