uJThe wings for the last twelve years of Dem
ocratic administration Of the Government kept up
continual cry because Offices not conferred
upon members of that party They affected to des-
pise distinctions in filling Offices in consequence of
political opinions, declaring that honesty and capa-
bilty the only qualifications which should be
requisite for appointment, and that if they obtain
ed power, no questions would be asked TO the pol
itics of asprans. Have they lived up to their pro-
fession! We have had six months of wing adj
mnstration and as yet Office has rot been conferred
upon single Democrats. No faith having been
placed in their professions, office has been even
sought by Democrat. From this fact the wings
can see that the Democrats, unlike themselves ask
no offices from an opposing administration, from the
fact, presume, that they well aware that wing
professions are but hollow sounds, made while out
for the purpose of getting in office.

C : Sometime before the death of Gen. Harrison,
we stated that John Bailhache proprietor of the Tel
egraph, at Alton, Illinois, had retired from the edto-
rial department of that paper, with the expectation
Of receiving the appointment of postmaster, at that
place, and at the coronation of Mr.. Tyler we said it
would be little laughabe if he did rot feel himself
bound to confer Office upon the particular friends Of
Gen. Harrison, and should pass the ex-editor by
It appears there was too much truth this matter to
make joke of, or, at least the successor OF Mr..
Bailhache says so, and also, that fourtths of the
people of Alton are of the same opinion.
At that famed city resides certain Cyrus Ed
wards, who was wont to be Governor Of that State,
for the term following the last Gubernatorial cleo
ton. This Cyrus was at that time great man in
the estimation of the wings and is yet the same in
his own mind, being consistent wing, that is, a
wing, all the time," because Ninian Edwards, to
whom he was related, was always so considered
He remembered the denunciations with which the
appointment of editors, by Gen. Jackson, was re-
ccivcd among his friends and fearing that the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Bailhache might cause it to be
influence to prevent it. The petition Of Mr.. 3. had
received the signatures of the twenty-five despond
ing aspirants, who once thought their chances worth
striving for so that he thought that nothing short of
his own application would preventit. He no doubt
reflected that it would be great falling off from his
aspirations at one tme but then the thirst for office,
office, the wach-word and reply of that party, urged
him on-he applied, and has received the appoint
mcnt. The Telegraph is justly indignant at it, and
if it does not err in giving the sentiments of the
people of that place, Cyrus will nothing but wry
faces Ar sometime to come.
Hc is we believe, member OF the legislature
"a post which he must give up to hold the other
which will go to some extent to show the love of
some wings, at least for the term of ocehoher, an
appeation which they once affected to scorn.
The Telegraph says the would-be Governor can
not condescend to attend to the duties Of the Office
personally, the emoluments of which are about $500
year, so Mr. B. may go to his types again, in order

az Having frequently heard it surmised that Gen.
Gehon, late Marshal of the Territory, would prove
,lefaulter leaving various claims unsettled among the
people, we deem it proper to state that there Is no
longer any ground for such an apprehension. Since
his removal he has been paying up claims as fast as
presented to his Deputy, who has been in attendance
at the courts in the several counties, and when last
we saw him. some ten days ago, he stated that all
claims had been settled with the exception of few
in this, Johnson and Washington counties, which
he discharging as fast as opportunities offered
A balance appears against Gen. Gehon on the books
of the Treasury Department, but he has claims, for
money actually paid out, which have been disallowed
by the accounting officer of that Department, which,
if allowed, would about balance the account. He
intends to withhold from the Government the bal
in his hands, even at the expense of law suit
unless he be allowed the amount paid out in settle
ment. On one OCCASION before, his offsets were not
allowed in setilegsnt, although the money had been
paid by order of the court, and he relieved by
special act Of Cnngress.
We Is4t.e these statements, unsolicited, for the
purpose q correcting public opinion concerning an
injured CITIZEN and putting the people on their guard
against any stories that may be put in circulation
when the Government may bring suit for settle
ment.

veto says
"The assumption, therefore, in his message, that
he was elected to the Vice Presidency with full
knowledge of his hostility to National Bank IS moi
sustained by circumstances. Ninelyaine out Of eu-
ery hundred ,cho roted for him supported him un-
der belief that he was in favor OF THIS measure J;
and he must be ignorant indeed, of the history Of
the late campaign, if he is not advised OF this TACT
This is certainly very complimentary to the mass
of the wing party. Ninty-nine out of every hun
ded ignorant of the fact that their candidate for the
Vice Presidency was opposed so National Bank
and that too, after he had proclamed.H from the
stump: Illuminating confession! Then we sup
pose they knew him to be fond Of hard-cider, and
regarding that as the choice quality cared not what
his political principles might be! And yet the he
publican contends that the question was involved IN
the contest, and decided in favor of Bank. If SO,
why aim to smother the fact that the one proposed
was National Bank, to all intents and purposes
Why not call it by its proper name, if the people
have called for the establishment of National

U}An animated controversy Is going on between
the ST Louis Republican and the Commercial Bull
e,in as to President Tylers position in the wing par
ty on the Bank in which the latter, sustaining the
President, keeps fairly in the lead These two press
es have long been rivals for the lead in politics, and
both being influential papers, the winding up of the
affair, with the spos, is matter of no little mpor
lance to the friends of both parties in that State and
Illinois. The Republican, being an old established
paper has sent out divers branches or auxaries in
to Illinois, among which the Sangamo Journal, Ga
lena Gazette, and Quincy Wing, which recur to our
mind as among the number, over which it has al
ways exercised kind of parental control, moldng
their opinions upon every new question.
The issue between them is this-the Republican
contends that the main question between the two
parties at the Presidential election, was Bank like
Mr.. Clay's vetoed bill contemplated, and that the
President, in vetong it, has proved treacherous to
the party which brought him into power. The Bull
letn contends that issue the repeal of the indie
pendent Treasury, retrenchment in public expenses,
and the establishment of some national institution,

the government could be more advantageousy and

While the Bulletin falls to prove any of its grounds,
save that no plan for Bank was agreed upon, it
shows that the Republican is greatly in error, and
bears down heavy upon it, charging it with disre-
gardng the compromise made with the various fac
tons which compose that party, and with endcavor-
ing to put in practice the old National Republican
measures. We thank him fof the admission that

excitement exists in, and about Palmyra Mo-, in
consequence of general belief that the three Adolf
tonists in confinement there for attempt to steal
the negroes of citizen, will be acquitted, in conse-
penalty or punishment for an attempt. The feeling
against them is SO strong that it is generally believed
that if they are acquitted Judge Lynch will take their
cases under consideration and mete out to them such
punishment as is generally inflicted under the code

the particulars of most shocking catastrophe which
occurred in Syracuse, N. Y. on the previous eve
ming. AT about nine o'clock in the evening, the
alarm of fire was given and in short time large
number of citizens had gathered around the building
on fire. and the remen were endeavosing to subdue
it. when it was announced that there was powder in
the building, but with such want Of energy as to OBJ
tain little credence Some fed, but many remained.
In few seconds more the powder exploded, throw
ing human bodies in every direction through the air,
instantly killing 33, and badly wounding 33 others
As may well be expected, it cast gloom over the
city, many of its most promising citizens being thus
suddenly hurled from time to eternity. The fire was
the work of an icendiary.

The Supplemental BM-Par Value. -
1t is contended by the Anti. Bonders that
the supplemental bill is unconstitutional

rePudialed because they were not sold

the sale Of the bonds for their par value,
is in the supplemental bill--ir that bill be
