To the Hon. Thomas Ewing, Secretary Of the

Sra. The President is OF opinion that il is a
great abuse to bring the patronage of the General
Government into conflict with the freedom O f cleo
tons and tina, this abuse ought To be corrected
hcrover it may have been permitted TO exist, and
to be prevented for the future.

1t is not intended that any officer shall be res.
trained in the free and proper expression and main
tenance of his opinions respecting public men or
measures the exercise to the fullest degree Of
the constitutional right of suffrage. But persons
employe ed under the Government, and paid for
their services out of the public Treasury, are not
expected 10 take an active or oflicious part in at
tempts to influence the minds votes Of others;
such conduct being deemed inconsistent with the
spirit of the Constitution and the duties of public
agents acting under III and the President is rcsov-
ed, so far depends upon him, that while the ex-
ercse of tho election franchise by the People shall
be free from undue influences of Official station and
authority, opinion shall also be free among the Off
GERS and agents Of the Government.
The President wishes it further to be announced
and distinctly understood, that from all collecting
and discussing officers pronpttude in rendering &C
counts, and entire punctuaity in paying balances,
will be vigorously exacted. In his opinion it IS

ofthe Government, and to no any degree of de-
linquency the part of those entrusted with the
publick money just cause of immediate removal.
lie deems the severe observance of this rule be
essential to the public service, every dollar lost

died for want of food. Some one, speaking of this

OF LAND on which he resides, situated
IN the County of Botetourt, about four miles

best recommendations, is that it can DC sue
cessiully used by manual labor.
1t will prove invaluable in the construction
of rail roads. 1t can be moved to keep pace
with the daily wants Of the road, saving a.
ny kind Of lumber wanted in the making of
them: and is of so simple construction that
scarcely any instruction is necessary in order
to enable common laborers TO work it. An
other striking feature of its usefulness is that
the logs to be sawed are not elevated much a.
bove the level Of the ground and that the
saw passes through the log, instead of the
log passing through the saw. This is very
great and Important Improvement. 1t saves
all that vast labor of hoisting up heavy logs
and adjusting them to their proper place :;
which by the usual mode is slow and expcn-
sive, and IL also saves one half Of the usual
space REQUIRED in the common way to cut up
u log in. ~
There are many districts &C our wide spread
country where the face of il is fat and where
timber abounds Of the very best quality. but
where IL Is almost valueless, because Of the
gres, distance To saw mills. This invention
will enable the owners of such lands to trans
port the boards and plank to the nearest point
OF navigation, and by it can successfully
compete with other manufacturers Of lumber.
1t is called an Improvement in Pitsawine
dnd Sitting Machine for Saving LOGS into
Lumber and Boards.

Exhibition Of The Blind, and Tie Deaf Muies.
On Wednesday night, the Blind Pupils of
the Staunton Institution, exhibited their at
talnments in Mr.. Plumer's Church. They
do great credit to the exertions Of Dr. Merrill
lat. The Pupils read with case by PASSING
their fingers over raised or embossed printed
sheets. They cypherad By tile aid of move
able figures In type, on aPlate, presenting on
the surface little squares, raised to receive the
types. They exhibited their proficiency in
Geography, by tracing with their hands the
map OF Virginia and the u. S. In their
maps, the rivers were represented by threads
glued to them-the towns, by pinheads-tho
mountains, tho bays, &c., by sand s;rewed
over them, of different degrees of courseness
and thickness. The rapidity in finding pla-
ces upon the map was amusing and surpris-
, ing. They wrote names and words by stick
ing pin through the paper. They also ex-
hibited their skill in music by playing on
various instruments, and singing.
On Thursday. there was mixed exhi5i.
ton Of both misunderstanding principally Of
music, from the Blind, and pantomimic dis
plays from the Deaf and Dumb.
The whole Exhibitions have been most
pleasing to the spectator, and creditable to
the Teachers. We understand they arc about
