INDUSTRIOUS FRAUD
AND PUBLIC ROBBERY y,

Tie most astounding frauds and robberes
are coming 10 light ever known or heard OF IN
this or any other country 1t is already ascer-
tanned that the Loco Foco office-hoders have
plundered from the public Treasury something
like TWO MILLIONS FOUR HUNDRED
AND SIXTY-FOUR THOUSAND DOL
LARS! 1t is also believed that if the veil Of
secresy was lifted by the searching hand Of
investigation that still more monstrous frauds,
thieving and corruption, would be exposed 10
holders have their hands in the sub Treasury
TO their arm pits-all the public money that IS
left is in their hands, and no adequate security
for its safe keeping is given Those who have
filled their pockets with plumber are running
away, and hiding themselves in foreign coun
tries Those who are left, having used up all
the revenue derived from ordinary sources, are
now SELLING OFF THE PUBLIC PROPERTY TO raise
more The most extraordinary id.rity Of mo-
rails prevails An agent Of the Treasury Mr..
Garesche) has written Mr.. Woodbury. that one
receiver he visited in the South had his hdnds
so fill, that he was not likely TO plumber any
more and, besides, that morals were 50 loose
in those parts that if another man was appointed
he would be likely TO steal as much more as
this one already had Mr.. Senator Hendricks
Ga Loco Foco) has also written from Indiana
that although receiver there had plundered
vast amount, yet he was man Of political IN
huence, and therefore Mr.. Woodbury. had BET
Ter let IL be-" II is thus ascertained that de
faulters are retained in Office when they are
known TO be such 1t is also asserted, and the
declaration has not been denied, that Amos
Kendall has received thousands 81 acres Of
land in Mississippi for procuring President
Jacksons assent to the sale of the Chickasaw
Reserves 1t is also alleged, and is undenied,
that Col. r. M. JOHNSON has been for years re
ceiving the most extraordinary emouments and
profits out of the appropriations made for the
support of the Choctaw Academy! II is fur
ther stated, and il is not denied, that Mr.. Van
Buren, and his faithful friend Mr. Butler, as
well as others high in office, have been engaged
in, and are now involved by the most extraordi-
nary speculatons ever known among men en-
joying high public trusts! Time, the success
of General Harrison, and the Investigations
which will probably follow, will unfold transac-
tons, carried on under the cloak Of Office the
like Of which have scarcely been conceived Of
by an honest and confding people. Included
among these will be found also the most mon
srous and INSCRIPTIONS election frauds and
carried on for series OF years
The only fear is, that before General Harrison
takes his seat in the White House the Loco
Foco Federalists may burn or otherwise destroy
the evidences of their guilt. II remains TO BE-
seen whether the people will longer tolerate q
crew who have violated more laws, more pro.
prieiies and flooded the country with more de-
moralization and evil than il would ever be IN
their power TO answer for, or remedy, though
their rule should endure for an hundred years.
