THE WABASH CouRIER.-We alluded to the ed
tor of this paper last week, in stating indirectly
what we considered pirate cause OF hostility to
Mr.. Huntington. At the time we did so, we were
that The circun,sfance alluded 10 BE
brought btore a Court Of Justice; and hence so
tar as our remarks calculated to have any in
frence either for or against either party, public
opinion should be suspended. We were informed
of this fact by a letter from Terre Haute in which,
if what is stated to be true, will put somewhat a
different aspect on the transaction We also
positively informed that the editor alluded to had
not the least do with the articles published but
that they were the production of the senior.
The Courier thinks we approve of Huntington

Mons RELIEF. - In Congress, Mr. Clifford of
Maine, made motion to exempt tea, coffee, sugar,
moasses and salt from taxation. The entire wing
delegation voted against it, and every democrat for
it. What kind Of relief do the farmers of the west
expect now You voted for men who promised you
relief; and lave they done any thing yet to relieve
you! If they have, just inform U.S. and we shall take
pleasure in recording it. Their promised relief was
relief for the SPECTATORS gamblers and stockholders,
and not for the honest pscpe who carried them IN
to power. Let know when you get relief by
wing legislation.

WHAT HAS CONGRESS DONE!
We are tired Of hearing this question. II is in
deed painful TO the patriotic mind TO contemplate the
state Of our country since tic fedcrasis came into
power. In the short space, to say nothing of the
disgrace attached TO il by their outrageous system of
esciioneerng. the counirys honor has been tHrnish
cd her glory clouded her people scandalzcd !.
and her rights and dignity trod IN the duet. And
is this true, To our shame be II spoken but too
true TO see the American Eagle crcuching TO the
British lion. Is what never expected and we DO
hope, that no other living, but Daniel Webster.
would be the unworthy Truckle to Eng
land. The souls of America sons spurn the idea !!
Cringc in our manhood TO the power conquered IN
our infancy Never-and blasted be he that should
suffer the honor of the country TO be thus tramped
upon Notwithstand ng Daniel HeJsitr would
do all this, he finds IN his supporters too much
American feeling to submit has second treason.
Consequently so far as Congress is concerned, no.
thing has been done in the Mcleod case. And
what has Congress done We Will place in bold
array what it has done relieve the necessities OF
The geopie-that Ia of themselves and the Sockj job
Jers Of England.
For the relief of Mrs. Harrison,

Vigilance of Cincinnati, they
have given e25.000 90

Distributed the proceeds of the
public lands which will have

Thus have the people been relieved of nearly
TWENTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, which
viii have to be paid by increase of duties tea
coffee, sugar, salt iron, and the necessares Of life.
There, then, is an increase of twenty millions Of
dollars the highest paid during Mr. Van
Buren, term and what will the people get for it
What relief They will soon find out. But this is
not all. fMr. Tyler should not veto the Bank bill
here will be further increase of this debt of zen
millions, and the privilege, If the federal wings con
,inue in power, OF increasing the ter to SIXTEEN
AND A HALF MILLIONS Is rot this reform.

they no. pat forth all their energies redeem her
from this degrading position!

Messrs Blair & Rives, of the Globe, have

feds of the Senate, who will be in the majority

of having democrats thrust upon them, and
threaten to remove then-foreetting that for
more than twenty years it has been the settled
rule of every Senate, at the close of Congress,
to elect printer for the next Congressman
forgetting that, in 1886, when they were in
the majority, they forced Gales & Seaton, fed
eralists, upon the democrats, whom they knew
would be in the ascendency at the next session.
