ROBBERY OF THE FREDERICK COIN
TY BANK-REcovERI OF A PoRrroN OF THE
MosEr.-The money that was stolen from this
bank has been recovered, with the exception Of
about $4,000 dollars. We understand that the cir
cumstances which led to this result were as follows
Some time ago, the directors of the bank received
a communication from u person in New York
named Wiley, who represented himself as law
yer, and stated that he had professionally become
acquainted with such facts as would enable him 10
secure the restitution Of the stolen property unon
certain terms. De. VIM. Bradley Tyler. one oftbe
directors OF the Frederick County Bank, and VIM.
NJ. Beall. Esq. the cashier of the Farmers and Me-
CHANCES Bank Of Frederick county, repiired TO New
York, and after good de n of egotiaton succeed
ed IN recovering the whole amount, with the ex-
cepuon OF the sum above stated. We understand
that the gold and notes OF banks other than the is
sues OF the robbed institution, were retained, and
th1t the lawyer who was the agent in compromising
the felony, charged commission Of some : 10 900
tor his services. No information was given that
could lead TO the detection of the robbery although
MIR Wiley, upon being questioned upon that point
by DE- Tyler, said that lac (the Doctor had seen the
principal of them several times during his visit TO
New York.
This arrangement, we think, IS utterly indefensi.
Die. II Wiley he, as he represented himself lazy.
yer, he should be, at once denounced by his asso-
clates and dismissed the bar. There is nothing in
the professional Obligations under which he pretend
ed TO net, which can Justify the corrupt part which
he played IN this affair We trust that the bank
will put the public in possession Of all the fnc.s in
an authentic shape.-Whie we rejoice that the mo-
ney has been recovered, we hope that we shall not
hnd any thing IN the measures taken by the bank
to interfere with the course Of public justice.

The n. Y. papers announce with great flourish
oftrumpe,s the publication by the Mss,rs. uarpes
Of Mr.. Stephens Travels in South America. The
work has not yet reached this city ard it is looked
for with great interest There is no living author,
who has acquired such reputation, and there Is
none, in opinion, since the days Of erodotus 10

From the extracts which we have seen from the
new work the reputation acquired by his other pro-
ductons, is sustained.

RETRENCIINiENr.

We have hopes that the Committee, raised on mo.
non Of Gov. Gilmer to enquire into the expedienev
OF te'renehins the expenditures OF the Govern
nen'' may lead to salutary results. Many useless
Offices were created under the late Spols Admins.
tra'ion, which ought to DC abolished-ond the sala.
r'es attached TO many of those, which arc necessa-
~, arc susceptible, without prejudice to the public
service, OF great reduction. And some again. in.
stead of being burden, might be source of prof,
to the Government This is the case with the Pos,
ohces in all che large cities. Ia New York, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and several other
cues The salary OF $4,000 is swollen, by petqui-
sites, to and and $4,000. This may be the
case with other offces-such rs the Custom House,
Land Office, Sc-for aught we know. The re-
medy we would suggest is this: Wherever the per-
qu'sies approximate the salary, the Office should be
put up TO the lowest bidder, who, furnishing ample
evidence OF eapacy and integrity, would undertake
the duties. BY this means, the Government would
not only save-but gain largely. And II the same
system OF retrenchment introduced into all the
branches oil the public service, would exhibit on
the present scale of expenditures, neat saving Of
many millions year.
But this consideration OF economy important n
II may be IN the present embarrassed state of the
treasury, u IN our view less important than an
other. by curtailing the cmoluments of public Of
nee you arrest to very great degree the office
seeking mania introduced by GenI Jackson and
MS man, Fuday-ond which, if unchecked, will
| undermine the political independence and subver,
the morals Of the country. Publish i, to the world,
that the salaries attached Office are regulated with
an eye to decen, competence for frugal man only,
and that public Offices shall no more he perverted
into mercenary machines, to crafty avarce and lux.
ury-and the swarm OF oficc.seekers will abate A.
pace-they will cease to be a distinct class-,he
evil will be greatly mitigated, if not ext ngushed
we are not aware of the range Of Gov. Gilmer's
Committee-whether it embraces the whole circle
oil Executive agents, or is confined to those about
Washington. the latter, we trust it may be en-
arged to the limits of the confederacy, that all may
teel the salutnry and Christening hand of Reform.

Mr.. Cushing'S Speech.


The speech Of Mr. Gushing in reply to Mr.. In
gersolPs attack upon Mr.. Webster, is magnificent
vindcaton of the Secretary of State and of the TO-
reign policy of the Administration. Ii, in many
passages, Is truly eloquent, and reminds one of the
happier oratoricnl displays Of Sir Robert Peel, TO
which, in many respects, ii bears n close resem.
6lancc- The retort upon the Loco Focos, of Van
Buren's first dsrepuuble essay in diplomacy, will
tell wherever it may be read. Nothing seyerer
could have been said and never did luckless par
ty commit greater Jiunder than in provoking n
contrast between Mr.. Webster Secretary of State
and Mr.. Van Buren, in the same office. But the
speech Is less mPOrtint for its eioquence and Jus,
exposure Of the late Administration conspicuous in
both particulars rs is than for the causes OF quar-
rel with England which it enumerates, and the lof.
ty American spirit with which it treats them In
this, MIR. c. doubtless utters the sentiments of the
Administration; and in doing So he gives assurance
that the honor and glory of the Republic are in safe
hands-that neither the one nor the other will he

Extract Of Letter from Washington 10 The En-.
9airer:

S''' ~ @N'''''5 sV's ~ Ac EH-
qairer:
LET Il en- uhe Wigs do as they may-let
them SANDER and traduCe the minority as thew NAV
facts proclaim even thus early, that thew have
neither the sasacliy 10 conduct Federal concerns
as statesmen and patriots shoud-nor the moral
Harness to take the responsibility. When IN n mi.
norty, they charged all the distress of the country
TO Van Buren, and his measures now, they are in
a majority OF some forty in the House OF Represen-
tatIves, they pusIiIanmously endeavor to heap the
odinm OF their impoiency TO relieve the country,
upon the minority"
This is all perfectly fair, and we are no, dis.
pleased to see our RdversarieS warning us of our
weakness and teaching oar duty. The taunt of
incaPacity to conduct the aiTirs of Government is
OF the nature OF prophecy--fOr 1t cannot yet he
assumed, thatthe Wings have mace a trial and fail.
cd. IL is IN their power yet, then, to falsify the
prediction and by Disappointing the high hopes of
our enemies to realize the glorious antcipa,ions of
our iricnds-ot the great body OF the American
People.
We, for one Wing, are unlike the Locofoco par
ty-who, when in the ascendant, laid all their mis-
carriages at the doors of the minority. We desire
TO shirk no responsibility. We are the minority,
and we confess 1t is ourduiy, as FAR as human means
will avail, to repair, IN as brief space as posi-
be, the mischievous effects OF ten years of Loco
Foco misrule We believe this sense OF lust
responsibility and pltrotic duty is fully acknow-
lodged by the grea, body Of the Wings in Con gress.
There may be few exceptions, who, forgetful of
country, and chiefly ambitious Of notorety, may be
aiding the Loco FOco game Of Illustration. But in
dependent Of these, there are enough, who acknow.
ledge their obligations to the country, and who con-
sequently, should move forward, without turning to
the right or the left, to the contamination of the
great objects, which the people DESIRE By this
means only, can they fluff the hopes Of the coun.
try and escape the reproaches Of the defeated fac
ton.
