being lavish of the $4OO,OOO) And on last evening, being informed that the internal machinery was put in operation, and that certain post master was called upon for ms quota, I resolved to have nothing more to do with party that can stoop to such baseneSS to carry into effect its designs and purposes. l can no longer serve upon either Of the above named committees, nor in political point of view, with the party ;n power. know there are many high-minded. honora, ble men among them, with many of whom have long had the most friendly intercourse and it is with much regret that feel bound, in duty to my country, to leave them. Gov. Shannon has heretofore received my warm support: and regret that circumstances have transpired that put il out of my power 10 continue that support. I have long been intimately acquainted with him. Iconsider him gentleman of the first order, but if it IS his misfortune to be so hard run as to be un- der the necessity of making use of the peo- ple's funds for purchasing up votes us butcher would purchase up stock, for the market, as my informant assures me IS to be done, my opinion of him must change.- Withdrawing that support, which has here toforc been literally extended, from Gov. Shannon, must say that no honorable man would resort to such meanneSS-no man of principle, having the distribution of the pub lie moneys, would deal it 10 political parti- zans, or to those who will pledge themselves to support him in office, (which my inform ant, n Van Buren man, stated was the mode of management to be pursued,) to the exclu- sion of others. No, sir; no high-minded, honorable and patriotic statesman, such as have believed Gov. Shannon to be, would be guilty of pursuing such little ends by such little means.
 have been slow in giving credit to the above report, but it has come from one of his warm supporters-the plan of operation, by an old and influential member of his par ty, whose name shall, if required. come forth under the solemn sanction of an oath.
 MT. Editor, remain in sentiment with my old Van Buren brethren, as it relates to the corrupt banking institutions of our country but it is evident to me, at least, that the of- ficers of our government are much more cor rupt, and need reforming first. Therefore, adieu to that democracy which will use the public funds, and tax it's officers to buy votes, and who will insult the people by of- fering them employment on the public works, that they will pledge themselves to its support. THOMAS WHITE. Distinguished Emigrants-The Buffalo Tatler mentions the departure, from that place, for Wisconsin, of three distinguished Hungarians of noble birth, who have gone 10 Wisconsin to purchase a tract of land under the following circumstances: A number ot the nobility attempted to pass certain law, and determined, if they could not, to aban- don their country and hereditary domains, and emigrate in body to the new world.- The attempt failed, and 20 of the most dis tinguished and literal of the nObles of Hum gary are about to emigrate, with their taml lies, to Wisconsin. They sent ono of their number-a Count of the Empire and Cover fidential friends, to select the locality and make the purchase. On his way he stad several days at Buffalo, and will probably return early in the fall,a ,and depart for Europe, when the whole number of emigrants will embark, so as to be here about the opening of navigation. This is an important tnove- nent, and an example that will doubtless be followed by others of the educated and high CT classes.
 GREAT ADvERT1sEMENr.-We believe the greatest advertisement ever given out to any Printers in this country, is that lately given by thc Corporation to the Evening Post, and the New Era, of property to be sold for As sessmentS. That advertisement was publish ed once week for thirteen wecks,and comes to over THIRTEEN THOUSAND DOL LARS, or six thousand five hundred dollars each. This is truly what is technically cal led a " Fat" advertisement, and the beauty of it is, that it was promptly paid-nO run ming a second tme-the Comptroller gives his warrant on the Treasurer, which is paid, if required, in hard cash. We do not com- plain of fthis-on the contrary, we are gratiti- ed that it falls to the lot of the profession oc- casionally to receive a reward. Almost al- ways, political favors fall in every direction except into the hands fprinters.-N. Y. Er.
 There is an elasticity in the human mind which long enables us to bear up against misfortune but in extreme cases it fails to perform it's functions. We do not recoliect at any period to have met so many persons who looked dull and spoke despondingly.- During the war, trade and industry were wholly at n stand times were bad and the people loudly complaining. yet the honor of the nation was at stake. The war was the result of oppression. We were drawn into it and patriotism burnt pure and bright in the midst of individual suffering But in the present case, the troubles of the people arc the result of the illegal and unconstitutional acts of the Government. The ruin which stares US in the face in every direction. has been brought upon us by wicked rulers. h. stead of leaving trade, currency and business affairs to be managed by the people, the ad- ministration. for the last seven years, has been making experiment upon experiment. each more ruinOus than the other and when it sees calamity surrounding us in every di- rection, there appears to be a zeal. an effort, a struggle. to make things worse instead of better. It is madness to suppose that the people can be so mad as to submit to this
