GFA letter to the editor ofthe States
man, dated 81. Marys, June 10Th, says
GEAR $500, 900, vas paid OuI by the
State Treasurer 10 the contractors on
The Mama canal. 1t AIDA that had not
the Governor effected a loan, there
would have been much suffering along
the line. Judge Swan and Col. Swayne
the newly appointed Fund Commission
ers, give general satisfaction, and intend
to provide funds for the public works, so
that an estimate can be made every
month. The money was paid out ac-
cordng to law, in the notes Of specie
paying banks, which in a measure pro-
tects the working man.
We recolleCt the Advocate saying,
SHY the time the Office holders were
paid out of the loan, The labOrers as u
sual would have to 60 without" Now
according TO Wing logic, the office hol-
ders get their crumbs first, and yet we
see halfthe loan emptied at once, right
into the laborers pockets. What good
prophet this editor makes Query,
wheter he wouldn't make a better don
kew?

SENATOR TALLMADGE, AND
Mr., VAN BUREN,.

The British Wing papers are para-
ding before The world, letter signed
by N, P. Talmadge, the traitor from
the democratic party, in which he goes
into canvass Of the electoral votes for
the next President, and in counting of
gives Harrison 24S, Van Buren, %, and
doubtful 20. Without going into an
argument to show what fool or a knave
the man must be, that would put his
name to such a paper, and without show
ing the fallacy Of such statement, we
request all to first read the letter against
Van Buren, hnd then the eulogy on him,
which will be found Oh our first page
The eUlogy was delivered while Tall
madge was yet mGn--an American.
The letter was written since he has de-
graded himself below q man, been COR
rupted, and become a TRAITOR.
We have often been told that we say
nothing in favor Of our candidate; tina,
We have nothing 10 sdy-that he has
done no meritorious acts to recommend
him 10 the American people, To such
persons, TO others who are so ignorant
as not to be acquainted with his public
career, we say, read Tallmatge's
spc ech. When a man has been go ex-
toIled for his lofty patriotism-so admi-
red for his intelligence-and 50 honored
and app'audod by tbosewho are hie NOR
tai enemies, it is unnecessary for his
friends 10 say aught in his favor. His
fame is already abroad-his name is en-
craven 10 the hearts of a majority of his
coun,rymon, and will be remembered by
them. long, long after TaIlmadge ahd
his descendants will have beon eaten by
the orms, and forgotten.

Same ground that they opposed Jackson

believe the mass Of the people capable
ofself government. They opposed the

TRUTH AGKNOWLEDCED,

The New York Star of late, a prominent
Wing paper, used the following language:
'We are bound to admit that part and no
inconsiderable portion Of the Wing party in
this State; is tinctured, and strongly too, with
Abolition feelings.
we fear. from recent indications, tina, the
Administration at Albany is to much inclined
to yield to the influence ofthe ADoIltonists, in
which case, it will be necessary at all hazards
to couneract the influence
This is very candid admission. The Wing
Administration in the State of New York is SC
strongly tinctured with Abolition as to be un.
der its influence. This is one of the reasons
which satisfies Gen. Mum with his alliance
with the fanatics. Bal. Rep.
