owINDLlSG.-1be good people Of the
District Of Columbia are down in the
mouth, IN consequence ola tremendous
bubble which has just exploded, leaving
nothing but air, different kind of vind
from that which they expected TO raise out
of it. The Union Agency instead of be
ing bank OF gold has turned out TO be
nothing but sand bank. But one week
ago, 1t was blgh treason in ragged arts.
tocrat TO say d word against an institution
which had for It's object the ameioratio
oil human suffering and the aggrandlze
ment Of the street beggars, at the expense
oil the rich mans pocket, which was doc
med
TO turn its silver lining to the night"
Tor this glorious contamination. 1t was
only necessary to join the Union Agency
aud the member OF It's magical association
had the slave of the lamp to do his bid
ding. MYERS who has since initiated the
carotid artery cutting Csstlereagh,' and
played the suicide just far enough TO save
cbasiisement, came to Washin ston last
winter from nobody knows where, and
pened an office on Pennsylvania Avenue,
under the style Of "The Union Agency"
lie called himself the responsible financial
agent OF the concern, and endeavored I'm
der false pretences, to borrow money
from several persons. He pretended that
ne had hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars to loan, but could only accommodate
by very large sums, which sums were ne.
yer to be found on application. He ran
up bills every where and declined paving
them tll they reached the amount of one
hundred dollars, and then gave his &C.
ceptances which were only payable to
those who held certificates from himself
1t is singular that fellow should under
any Giro umstances be permitted to ride
rough. shod over the people as this one re.
ally did; but that Myers should have sue.
ceeded IN tongue tying the public, and in
forcing them to bend to his purposes in
the manner we have stated, il is 10 be ac
counted Tor only from the fact. that this
is the era OF tyrannous associations. and
that Myers was knave enough to avail
himself the public gullbility and subseryi
ency, by assuming the semblance of such
a power, OF which himself was the head.
IN order to draw in the contributions of
the simple, and check the opposition of
the suspectlng. SO great has been the
imposition promoted by his perseverance,
and impudent GOODNESS, that respectable
men without number have been deceived
from useful and profitable pursuits, TO aid
the cause Of Myers unbelievable those
who were DESTROYS of checking an impu
dent usurpaton of rights were absolutely
inundated by threats which were little
more than the sbadowings forth from ex.
Istlng institutions, which under the pre-
tence of loving liberty, do every thing to
enslave the freedom of the press. Truly
this is the age of humbug.

negro who has entered a complaint before
the Grand Jury, Myers having swindled
him out Of hundred. the 9uid pro quo
