FEDERAL CIRCULAR.

The circular of the Executive committee,
which we published, issued secretly by the Fed
] era committee of members Of Congress at Wash
nglon, to discreet friends throughout the Union,
Tor the purpose of raising twenty-five thousand
dlfars, in order to establish spirited press at
Washington in behalf of Mr. Cay, is in harmony
with the common practice of this party. Every
thing must be done clandestnely, and by money;
all their means arc mercenary; all their move
ments concealed. Having no lalta in the homes
y or intelligence Of the people, they are afraid to
alieaS themselves to the reason of the commu-
MY. Conscious that their designs are factions,
ana their ends anii.rcpubcan, they work in the
dark, and feel the necessity OF masking their pnr-
poses. Nor GIN they thrive in prosperous state
% the community. When clouds lower over the
country, their prospects brighten: they are nour'
sshed by the general calamity: their prosperity is
8sae common adversely: they live by panlcs,
alarms, tdSe rumors, iactous excitement. They
8honrlsh "in the midst OF revolution" They
cahnot bear to see indications of general happi-
ness, lest 1t should minister to the popularity of a
q Democratic Administration. They are already
N despair at the signs of returning prosperity.
lneu spirits have fallen with the exchanges the
elrly redemption Of their notes by the banks Is
Inc reverse Of Redemption to them. II is curious
% observe how sad aud chop fallen they have be
come' every since the country has begun to show
symptoms OF rapid recovery from its late pros
'fsuon, which had been brought about by the sys
lem which they advocate. Prosperity IS return
ing too early and too rapidly to suit their views
and designs. Their only hope of success was III
continuance Of the embarrassment and distress
winch their policy had brought upon the people.
n'0s tor them, that our young and noble Repub
NC should so soon be able to burst the bonds
WIN which mercenary faction had temporarily
oolud her Do not talk to them Of the happiness
o. the people it is death to their hopes. Do not
congratulate them that the dark clouds which SO
'ae'y obScured our horizon are beginning to dis
pef'e the returning brightness is painful to thell
y Eyes. What pity Tor them that the exchanges
saould equollze themselves, without the aid OF
uieH great nostrum-their sole and lnfable rem
ooy-a United S. Bank! What misfortune thai
Tue local banks should be able TO resume the pay

HARRISON AND WEBSTER.

Nearly every Wing paper in Pennsylva.
MIA has placed the above names at the head
of its columns as the popular candidates
for the highest offices in the gift of the
people. The following paragraph on the
subject is from the Westchester Record, a
paper which has been rather inclined to
support other candidates.
Nearly all the Anti-Van Buren, papers in
the State have holsted the flag of "HARR1
SON AND WEBSTER" and from the sono.
rous "yo. heave o." we hear from all
quarters, we infer they are well pleased
with their colors. Even in Philadelphia,
The Morning Star, and PouIsons Adver.-
ser, two daily papers, have the Harrison
flag at their mast head, while we infer that
several others are ready for the same
course. There is not Wing or Anti.
Masonic paper east Of the Susquehannah,
out of Philadelphia and Chester counties
but what is out for Harrison and we know
of but one or two west Of that river. For
ourselves, we are not disposed to be hasty
in any step we shall take. We mention
these facts for public information.

SUR TREASURY BEUTIEs. - Now that
the election Is over, the Government finds
time to look q little into the condition Of
the New York Custom House. The Col.
Letter is off with a million and half of
dollars! His term of service expired SIX
months ago, and although defaulter to
this frighllul amount, not a syllable was
said or a step taken by the Administration
until the Election was over. Thirteen
hundred thousand dollars, of the National
Treasure, compared with the interests OF
the party, was an unmportant item
Immediately after our Election, the So
licilor of the Treasury was sent to New
York to do what had been neglected for
SIX months. After going through with the
forms OF an examination, 1t was gwen out
that Mr.. Swartwout was deiaulter in the
sum of 81 100000 This has been known
to the Government for six months. And
during that six months, the subordinate
officers uuder whose eye and with whose
know edge this robbery had been commit
ted. were continued in the same Office;
under the present Collector.
For the loss of this million and quarter
Of the peoples money, the Administration
is directly responsible. The defalcatior
has been accrung for eight years, unde
the eye Of the Secretary Of the Treasury
The fact of the defalcation, though known
to the Government. was concealed from
the people until after their election. The

THE NORTH EASTERN BoUNDARY.-We
learn from Bangor, Maine, by way OF
Boston, that the Commissioners and Engl-
neers appointed by Governor Kent, to ex.
pore the disputed territory, and, il pos
sibe to ascertain the true boundary line
between Maine and New Baunswck. or,
in other words, our North Eastern Boun
dairy, arrived at the former place on Mon.
day last. and that their efforts have beer
crowned with complete success. The
great problem to be solved, was, to ascer-
tain the exact location Of the Highlands
between the waters emptyIng on the one
side into the river St. Lawrence. and on
the other into the Atlantic ocean. The
British diploma's,s have denied that there
were any such highlands in the contempla-
ted regions, 1t is stated that the Commits.
sloners have not only ascertained that there
are such highlands, but that they rise in
some places into mountains and they have
moreover, discovered the boundary line
itself, as marked out by the Commissioned
under the treaty o! 1898, and all the monu
ments established at that time to fix the
| line. This information, if, as is supposed
by the Eastern editors, will lead to the
settlement at once Of the controversy be
tween the United States and Great Britar
on this subject, is not less welcome thar
| important.
