YOUNG MEMS NATIONAL CONVENTION.

We understand that there is misapprehension
in some parts of the country with regard TO the
day on which the Convention will meet in Balti-
more, owing TO typographical error in part OF the
edition of the paper IN which the Baltimore Young
Mems Address was first published. The day APP
pointed for the meeting of the Convention IS the
first Monday in My, being the FOURTH day OF the
month.
At meeting of the Baltimore committee OF
arrangements, lately held, the following gentlemen
we're appointed committee Of reception, with very
extensive authority and duties:
Committee of Reception.
First Ward.-A. Herald, Jas. p. Stafford.
Second Wa,d.-Nichoas L. Dashiells, B. w. Herring,
Third Ward.-A. w. Bradford, Jesse D. Reid.
Fourth Vard.-Wm. p. Cole Thos MalIcn.

THE GENERAL APPROPRIATION BILL.

The discussion Of the General Appropriation Bill
in Committee Of the Whole was continued yesrer-
day with remarkable animation and interest. Mr..
WISE went into thorough examination Of the
different heads Of appropriation, and contras,ed
them, item by item, with those Of the Administra-
ton Of MIR. Adams. With an array OF facts ascer-
tanned and incontrovertible, he substantiated his
charges against the present Administration Of ex-
travagance and prodigaiy.
The chairman OF the Committee OF Wavs and
Means could not allow this powerful exposure to
pass without reply ; and he abored hard and inge-
nously TO apologize for the immense expenditure OF
years. singenuity, however, could not
cover the extraordinary fact that the expenses Of the
Government have been run up by the men in power
from thirteen millions 10 FORTY MILLIONS OF DOLL Ans
PEA ASSUM. The People will look to this, and hold
those who have avished the public money with such
proiusion, to a just accountability Several spirit
ed passages occurred between Mr.. WISE and his
colleague (hir. JoSEs) on these points. We wish
hthe Chairman Of the Committee Of Ways and Means
better cause TO defend. All his efforts to conceal
waste Of the Peoples treasure by this SPEND
~ and corrupt Administration only brought out
s~pre complete and striking exposure Of it.
SrASLy also spoke yesterday with his usual
abi pnd force. He took occasion TO notice some
OF fharges which Administration members, in
Their .tomary irrelevancy, had brought against
oenerN fARRrsoS for the purpose Of injuring him
IN the nth. He made gallant defence Of the
veteran Psiot. General HARRISON comes out from
eSerydscusion Of his character and opinions and ser.
wees which provoked by the partisans Of the Exc
cu'lvewith higher and higher claims to the confidence
OF ms countrynen in every quarter Of the Union
ms we venture TO say, will always be the case
because we A~ow him to be proved mana test
ca man--one who has gone through the ordeal
~i'hout stain and without blemish. Let poli,i-
cal adventures 60 on to assail him. The People
know him, trust him, and will confer on him the
highest honors they can bestow.

TIE WAY ADMINISTRATION EDITORS ARE PAID-THE We
RAcTTY OF THE POSTMASTER GENERAL


Some time ago, Mr.. GRAVES, Of KENTUCKY,
brought under the notice Of the House of Repre-
sentatives, the fact that person Of the name of
ROBINSON was permitted 10 draw his salary as
clerk in the Post Office Department, while he was
actually engaged in editing paper devoted to the
support Of the Administration, at Frankfort, Ken
lucky; and that the said ROBINSON employed a
substitute, for small compensation, to discharge
the duties Of the clerkship. This charge was bold
ly denied by the head Of The Post Office Depart
ment, in letter full Of his characteristic pcrtness
and insolence. Ii now appears that an order
given by ROBINSON for the amount of his monthly
salary, including period Of time when he was moi
dscharging the duties Of clerk here, but was en-
gagged at Frankfort in taking care Of the interests
Of I" The party was actually paid few days after
Mr.. GRAVES publicly made the charge. On Thurs
day last Mr.. GRAVES repeated il in his place, and
added the above statement, and bestowed on Mr..
AMOS KENDALL the appellation his unblushing eff
ffontery entitled him to.
This attempt to escape the weight Of Just accu-
sation, by clustering denial, is of piece with his
declaration to Mr.. Garland, that he " was for the
first time apprzed" that the clerk ranked packages
for members of Congress. No man in either House
gave any credit TO that assertion and it was fully
disproved by a correspondence between Mr.. Frank
lin, the late Clerk, and tho Department.
What new device will this detected officer now
attempt to screen himself awhile longer from pub
lie condemnation
