they who acquainted with the secrets of Bank ma

Extract Of iesser from distinguishsd gentleman Of
Mem York, 10 his friend in Congress.

New YoRK, june Is, lS4i
My Dear Sir There are thousands here who feel
strong, pery strong objection to any plan of relief
while the wounded sick, and disabled soldiers in the
last between the :" old Roman and the monster"
remain unpovided with dressing for their wounds and
in state Of absolute starvation.
What are banks distribution bills tariffs, and all
other measures of relief for the rich and fortunate pro
rided the unfortunate but honest insovent is prevent
ed from reaping any of its advantages Tohim they
are a mockery. They are the cup Of Tantalus" 1t
is offered TO his lips he witnesses those who are free
that have spent time in the service Of their
try-enjoying the benefits Of good aws-while the
cup is only placed his lips TO be constantly with

Many feel satisfaction in seeing others to the
ground with them. ! have never witnessed such a
deep and determined feeling in the mass on this sub
ject, and if Congress- Wing Congress adjourn
without acting on this measure they may calculate on
a vast falling off in the Wing vote here.
As anxious as you know for the success Of
all the measures embraced in the catalogue Of" Wing
Reform" still believe that bankrupt law is more
than them all. All together would not afford that re-
lief that HEARTH relief that would attend upon the
advent of such just and philanlhropic measure.
The cheer that would burst from the lips Of the tens
of thousands of honest nsolvents, their wives and
children, would be OF more true, honest-hear-
ed pleasure than all the honors that be in the
public service.
Let me entreat you to urge this measure with that
zeal that is SO becoming in good cause. You know
how much patience and perseverance will do-you
have tried it. Stand by this night and day,
in season and out of season. and will crown
your efforts and then will all truly and heartily
rejoice with you. The great victory is not well won,
until the wounded provided for and tho war should
not be considered as ended until the prisoners set
free.
Set the unfortunate, innocent prisoners once more
at large absolutely free, send them home pa

more.

alive, and no Of relief will meet with a
hearty response if the unfortunate honest insolvents

There is no difference of opinion here between the
two parties this subject. All for setting the
prisoner free, to enjoy the benefit of good laws.

ASTOUNDING DIscLosuRE.-The ~ Y. Commercial
Of Monday evening states that the editor has ascertain
ed bv inquiry at the General Pos, Office that the fol-
surance we should esteem it incredible, even in view
of the notorious iniqutes and corruptons of those
whom the People have so rghteousy expelled from
power, The statement originally appeared in the
Louisville Journal, and is as follows;
When Mr.. Barry was Postmaster General, a Com
mittee appointed by the United States Senate to
investigate the affairs of the Post Office Department
The investigation resulted in the very able report
and other corruption duly made known to the
people of the country.
To parry the effects of that startling report Mr.
Barry, it may be remembered, published pamphlet,
vindication called, of his conduct. This pamphlet
was of course an individual and not an official docu-
ment Nevertheless, he agreed to pay the Editors
ofthe Globe, Messrs Blair & Rives ST. 500 for print
ing it, and charged the amount to the Government!
When Amos Kendall succeeded Mr.. Barry as
Postmaster General he glanced ever the books of the
Department and saw this item of ST. 500. Afraid that
another investigation would take place. and that
this extraordinary item would thus be brought light
he made Blair s. Rives refund the money at least he
entered refunded the books. Thus the matter
remained till the Sd Of March, l84 the very last day
of Mr.. Van Buren's Administration, when Mr. Niles,
the successor of Kendall Postmaster General, paid
back the S 500 10 Blair If Rires, and entry ,ras
actually made in the books TO that effect!
The Commercial further states that being out of
funds at the time, Mr. P. M G. Niles drew on Penn
sylvaniana Postmaster in favor of Blair for this
amount; and Blair was so fearful that Mr. Granger
would discover the fraud and arrest it, that he pro-
posed sending express to the Postmaster for the
cash! Let these facts be officially verified
