We invite the attention Of readers to the well
written letter Of Putnam addressed TO COL Bomord
We perused that letter with deep regretregret, that in
these times Of natural prejudice against the farther
ployment Of foreigners in public Departments, there
should be any man. claiming to be considered patriot
who could violate public feeling and wound the sensib
ties Of his counrymen far to put aside their
just claims and reward the pretensions Of from
distant land.
We would ask the Chief of the Ordnance Bureau
whether he thinks he receives his support from his
countrymen and if SO, expect hereafter TO be
tanned by them, when the little return he could make in
the way Of appointments in his Office is ungratefuy be-
slowed on the emigrants from other countries
It should be remembered that the Ordnance Depart
ment in this city employs eight subornates, four Of
Whom previous to the appointment in question then va
cant, Aliens and three natives; and that, therefore,
after making the greatest allowance for the undue atc
on towards foreigners and the unreasonable aversion to
people which persons entertain, there
already three too many of the former in the service
The inquiry naturally foows-what was the motive for
adding another stranger to this pensioned batch Was it
because there competitors? The answer is,
there were-sons Of men whose faithful deeds may be
found recorded in the history of the days that made
nation Was il because it required superior talents for
the clerical duties Of the Office? The reply is that with

there native Americans applying for the appoint
nent who in comparison with those already in that
Bureau would have good portion Of spare capabilities
for higher stations
What. then, was the motive? We answer not.
In treating of all these violations of what term
turaI rights, dsclam any personal feeling We have
no acquaintance with Col. Bomfod, do we know the
individual whom he has preferred in this appointments all
that think it necessary to know, is, that officer Of
the army has deemed it patriotic wiser and safer to
surround himself with five foreigners out of eight of his
corps than to place himself and the muniments Of his
Office upon the fidelity Of the people whose officer he s
This act is sufficient to justify us in calling public at
ention to the reasons what those the Chief
OF the Ordnance Department best knows, and best
give. That he ought to give, s due to the American
people, and also to himself To the former, that they

and integrity valued and thereby strive 10 elevate
themselves to the standard Of foreign superiority as esti

SURVEY OF THE LAKEs.-The following are
the remarks of our Representative, Mr.. Goode
upon the bill providing for the survey of the
Great Lakes. Mr.. Goode has been unceasing.
ly assiduous in promoting the passage of this
important measure, during the. whole session
1t is measure Of greatimportance to the nav
igation Of lake Erie, and when carried into eff
feet will save yearly an immense amount Of
loss upon this most iinportan: ps rsion Of the
American waters.
Mr.. GRANT moved the previous uuestion,
but withdrew the motion at the request of
Mr.. GOODE, who said that he could NOT
out of justice to himself, and the position he
occupied, on the shore of one Of the lakes, suf-
fer this occasion to pass by without saying
word or two. 1T was more than five months
since Ahe had received and presented to the
House petitions praying for a survey Of the
lakes; and in January he had introduced areso-
luton on that subject. Some of these peti-
tions- came from men who had navigatedla lake
Erie for many years, and some of.whom were
now commanders of our steamboats, on that
lake. They all concurred in the urgent neees-
sity fora survey, especially Of that lake. The
distinctions constantly appearing rendered the
navigation very unsafe. The amount of bust
ness on these waters was very rapidly increas
ing; the old experienced navigators must soon
yield to the course of Nature, and their sue
cessors would need an accurate chart for their
guidance. There was now nothing to guide
q stranger; and one, not long acqua aInted with
the lake, navigated tim peril of life and cargo.

BRAziL.-By the ship Mogul, Capt. Sketch
ley, from Rhode Janeiro, we have received pa
pers to the 26th April, containing the particu-
lars of an unpleasant occurrence which had ta-
ken place with the British soop of war Rover.
On the 18th April some Brazilian officers who
had been commissioned by the Government to
inspect the military arsenal at Boa Viagem, on
their return to Rio, where hailed by the Rover
and ordered to come on board, which not obey
ing several shots wer, fired at the boat in which
they were, and boat was lowered from the
Rover and sent in pursuit of them. On being
overtaken, the Brazilian officers, it is said, were
very rudely treated, and compelled to return to
the Rover, the Commander of which, after ex-
animation, set them at liberty. On leaving the
Rover, it is added, some ore on board remark
ed, that whenever British ship-of-war gave
command, all must obey. The Government
to whom the, Brazilian officers made report
OF what had befallen them Immediately made
a requisition on the British Charged Affairs a
Rio for reparation, the result was not known.
The accounts from Bahia are to the Cd of
April, and represent the mercantile interests
of that place as having suffered severely from
the effects of the late attempt to bring about a
revolution, but symptoms of return to a
more prosperous state Of things, it is said,
were already perccptible.
The accounts from Valparaiso are to the
18th of March, and state that the war with Pc
ru continued, but the operations were conduct
ed with but little activity. A Chillan squad
ryn of eight vessels, it was reported would
soon sail to blockade Callao and other Peruvi-
an ports. A force of 1000 men was to be en-
barked for the purpose of landing them at diff
lerent places on the coast, and affordlng an OPP
portunity for the people torally, who it is al
legged were bdisafected to the Government of
General Santa Cruz, but the want of money
was found to be o great obstacle to the prose-
cution Of these contemplated hostilities.--.N

THE SUB TREAsURY.--There is still ca use
for fear that this odious scheme may become
the law of the land. There is cause for fear,
that the Government, but few months ago in
an overwhelming majority in both houses Of
the National Legislature, may be able to crowd
this GROWING labor of their destructive policy
through with the assistance perhaps of the cas-
ting vote of a subservient speaker. Ofno avail
are the overwhelming majorities that have
spoken in thunder tones against the measure;
of no avail is the trembling and quaking in the
ranks of the administration. 1t matters not
that large section ofthe party has already left
its ranks and ranged itself under the banner
of it's oppcsers, and that respectable and tall
cnted portion Of the conductors of the public
press, in other respects friendly to the admin
stration, have spoken boldly against this expe-
riment. No account is taken Of the distresses
under which the country now labors; nothing
of the cries of the whole commercial commu-
nifty. The Juggernaut car rolls on, and /" cast
yourselves under and be crushed" is the cry.
Kiss the wooden idol, lest he be angry, and let
your last words be words Of praise to him who
has annihilated you, is the policy. Fall down,
o! people, and worship the craven image
that you have set up, for he can do no wrong.
His dispensations are the works of providence,
and must be right. Can this be SO? Is this d
government of the people, and from the people,
and acting for the best interests Of the people?
No! 1t is an independent government Ia
king care Of itself, at the expense the peo-
pie, lavishing their rights, expending their
sweat, trampling upon their privileges, stern,
infexibe, unsympathising, foreign, desperate.

NTHE DEFIANCE BANNER We hive recciv-
ed the first number ofa paper lately established
at Defiance, bearing the above title. 1t is con-
Quoted by John B. Semans, as editor and pro-
prietor; its size is nearly the same as that of
our paper, and lis mechanical execution good.
The politics of the Banner are of the right sort,
and Judging from the first number we cannot
but speak highly of the manner in which it is
conducted. Success to the Banner, may it
bid Defiance to its enemies, and never be
struck so long as there is friend to comfort
or foe to oppose.--The following from the
Banner, describes the town in which it sprung
into being.
DEFIANCE, the village from which we hail,
is situated on the south bank Of the Maumee ri
yer, at the mouth Of the Auglaize, and equadis-
tant from Fort Wayne and the Foot of the Ra-
pids.-lt is the seat of justice for the county of
Williams, and unquestlonably one of the most
beautiful, healthy locations, any where to be
found in the west. 1t possesses advantages
of 10 mean or ordinary character, as any one
who will cast his eye on the map, will readily
pcrceive.-Tho village is yet small, containing
population not probably exceeding five hun
dred souls,but its growth and ultimate CONNER
cial Importance, are secured, by the force of
circumstances, beyond the possibility of fail
ure. The Wabash and Erie canal, one of the
noblest works, and destined to become one of
the greatest thoroughfares in the U. States,
passes through the town, and locks into the
Maumec river which, ty means of a dam is to
