the following notice. finely shows off the disln-
terested zeal which makes Mr.. Bond look upon
every man who does not work for nothing and
find himself as neneenary A Publisher who
buys paper, printing establishment and pays
ourneymen from day to day to print blanks Tor
the Government, is held up by Mr.. Bond as a
sort of felon. Now we should not consider a
lawyer, who receives his fee from the bank,
culpabe in giving his purchased breath 10 it as
a client in court, but when we find body OF
LAWYERS representing the bark In Congress, and

take the taint of its corruption from which 1t

MR--Re.sD,s 3 s5SrFrcrr.=.Ff' H his renowned re-
taller of falsehood has thought proper to use the
name of the editor of the Advertiser, in his en-
venomed TRADE against the Administration. He
states thahwithin six years, "Shadrach Penn
ir of Kentucky, has been paid about $4,000
nearly half of which has been paid inthe last six
years" This is what Mr.. Bond termed posi-
office printing p0tron0 ge-and he leaves it for
the readers of papers (the editors OF which are
thus patronized) to say whether such papers
''can be supposed to be under the wholesome re-
gmen of Treasury diet" Mr. Bond, in his re-
ference to us among other printers, shows his
own cloven foot. No one can, according to his
view, do service for Department without being
under its ''regimen'-its influence and direc
ltions-without belonging to it, body and soul
We are perfectly willing Mr.. Bond shall Judge
himself andrh his ragocratic coadjutors by this
rule Indeed, we feel fully authorized to say
the gentleman spoke from knowledge aeqniFed
by actual experience. He was heretofore at
torney for one of the branches Of the Bank of the
few perquisites besides, rendered very little

bought up, bought up"--and that is not all.
Lawyer as ne is, he stays bought up-simply
because he thinks his interest would not justify
voluntary change; or, rather because no one
but the Bank ever thought him worth buying.
But, to return to the statement of the $4,000
paid to US in six years. 1t is a-we were about
to write the word "lie"-but we will only say
the statement is doubly false II is not correct
as to the amount; and then it indirectly conveys
the idea that we received more than our services
were worth, when the printing we do for the
Department is charged at rates which are one
third, at least, below ordinary charges against
individual customers. We thus put new face
on Mr. Bonds misstatemen: in relation to our
printing for the Post Office Depar!ment-and
prove him guilty of falsehood, directly and by
inference. Verify. he must be very conve-
nient Bank hireling.
Mr.. Bond, however, has been guilty of
most awful lndlSc retIon. In giving utteranCe to
a new Wing falsehood, he has disproved an old
one. Did the bank menial ever read the great
speech of the Hon. Thomas Ewing, in which
he said the editor of the Advertiser received
from the Post Office Department tocemty-two
thousand sac hwmdI ed dollars u gear! Tom
went to work like wood chopper. While he
was telling fb, he thought he might as well
die for an old sheep asa lamb" and he told
toA0Pper-one which raised him prodIgiously in
the estimation of that class who hold that it is
the business Of statesmen and politicians to lie
to astonsh the people by startling tales of ex-
travagance, waste, and corruption. Mr. Bond
does not rise to that dignity. He seems to have
thought his duty discharged when he detailed
the separate expenditures of the Departments,
the salaries of officers, the aggregate expendi-
ture of Government; and argued from such state
ments that salaries were sinecures payments
for services, gratuities, and the sum total of
public expenditures was so much waste He
seems to have believed that all payments were
made on the principles on which he received
his stipend as attorney fol the Bank; and hence
his inference that all recipients of public money
are under the regimen" of the Department
through which it passes-that they are all made
one by paftaking of Treasury diet" He forgot
that most of the contractors under the Govern.
ment are thoroughgoing Wings. and was evi
IDENTIFY unconscious of the afth ri56e1 he was
giving more exalted Bank stipendiaries than
himself There can be no doubt that Clay and
Webster have received double as much, per
year, from the Bank, as has been paid us for
labor. They furnished words we supplied wagon
loads of blanks. If we are under Treasury r.
glmen, they are under that Of the bank-ac-
