In our last number, we called the atten-
ton of our readers to the testimony OF the
distinguished Senator from New York (the
Hon. y. 2. Tallmadge,) IN reference TO
the course of Gov. Marcy and the seven
Y an Buren, members of Congress from that
State. Mr.. Tallmadge states that pre-
vious to the Extra Session OF Congress,
Gov. Marcy called on him, al his resi-
dence and urged him 10 oppose the Sn6.
Treasury scheme, assuring Inn that IN so
doing he would receive the support Of the
Administration party Of New York. He
further told him that he supposed that he
Marcv) would be urged to endorse the
scheme, in his message TO the Legislature,
but that such was his adherence Of It's
principles, he could never be brought TO
give il his support. And yet as soon as
the executive appliance were made to his
tender conscience, We find him denouncing
Mr. Tallmadge and all others who contin-
ne their opposition to this very obnoxious
measure. And so of the seven Van Blu.
ren members of Congress from New ! ork,
who while on their way to Washington to
attend the Extra Session, openly denounc.
ed the Globe for advocating the " destruc.
tive doctrines Of the Administration, and
this its favorte scheme in particular, in
short time after breathing the infected air
within the pur.ieus of the palace, sudden
" became the sworn advocates of this ye-
n hateful measure which first they had
condemned as rlllnous 10 the best interests
of the country. But one of their number
the Hon. John c. Clark, having the firm
ness to preserve his integrity amid the Sc
ductiye influences which Executive power
and Executive corruption threw around
them.
In addition to the seryility Of these New
! ork turncoats, We have the modification
to submit to the notice Of our readers, the
following evidence Of the treachery Of one
Of the Representatives from the South. Il

In a letter to Major Hustled, one Of hi,
constituents, he wrote as follows, on the
2lst Of October 1887, after his return from
\ Congress:
