FEDERAL LOCo-FoCo INJUSTICE.

The case referred 10 below, by an honorable
member from Pennsylvania, is remarkable il
lustration of the cruel injustice frequently done
to individual claimants by the postponement, for
mere purposes of party, of bills reported for
their relief When the House was in Commit
tee Of the Whole on private bills on Friday,
Mr.. KEIM rose and said she had intended to re-
mark, when the bill No. 1T was under conside-
ration, (being a bill for the relief of Michael
Seitzinger) that the tardy justice of the Govern
ment had come too late to be enjoyed by its in
tended recipient. He had departed this life
1cithin a fe,c days past 1t was matter which
should be known to the House and the country,
for the benefit of the descendant Of this indvi-
dual, that he applied to the Commissioner of
Pensions for pension, and that it was denied
to him on the suppostion that he was too young
to have been actor in the struggles of the Revo-
luton. Subsequently, however, persons who had
known him at Brandywne and Trenton, where
he beat the fierce reveilles," had given in their
testimony to the fact-and upon that testimony
the Committee on Revolutionary Pensions had
reported this bill The heart of the patriot has
rest ~
There are two days in the week FRIDAYS
and Saturday's) on which alcne the most meri-
torious individuals having the most unquestion-
ably equitable claims against the Government
can hope for action on the bills for the satisfac-
| ton of their claims. The administration party
have repeatedly endeavored to engross these
days by their Sub-treasury bill to the exclusion
of numerous honest and destitute claimants,
who have already suffered for months and years
the pangs of hope deferred. The bills reported
for their relief, by the payment of the just debts
of Government to them, are derided by Mr.
Van Burens official organ as unimportant J"
and the opposition are abused and denounced
because they will not aid the Loco-foco Fede-
ralists in setting aside all the private bills (and
thus rendering their ultimate defeat certain,) to
take up the odous and condemned Sub-treasury
| bill
