DEFALcArIoSs-The Wings are hard to pleas

Office, who favored his views, and aided him il
carrying out his measures turned out Wings

with being the canse of it.
we have a most striking illustration of the
truth OF this in the case Of s artwout, OF New

and hold the administration responsible for their
conduct. To divert public attention from Wing
defalcations, it has been the aim of the federal
organs through the Union, to make broad and
sweeping charges against the functionaries of

Mr.. King, late collector Of Bath, Mqine,
seems to be a defaulter for the modest
sum of $4,000. Perhaps the gentleman
now in my eye (Mr. Evans, Wing, of
Malne) can tell us what that gen,leman's
politics are, and whether he was not the
late candidate for Goreraor of that State;
and whether all the conceptions ofdelalca-
ton, in which he was involved, he did
NOT receive TIE entire TVhig rate of his
State! So we ritle--bat again. J1seph
