I,ean AsuuusroN. alias Alexander Barring, the
Agent Of the British inoncy-mongers, sent as spe-
cial Minister to the Government Of the United
States. arrived at Annapolis, Md. on the 4th inst
We have not heard Of his reception by his federal

JUSTICE TO WHOM IT Is DUE.-ln the Miners
Express of the 9TH inst. under the head of Beauty
Of Imported office holders; we notice review of the
manner in which several officers in the Territory,
who were non-residents at the time Of their appoint
ment, have discharged the duties Of their office,
which we deem worthy Of passing notice. The
Object Of the article was 10 prove that such of our res
idents received appointments, have staid at home
residents. g important Office holders" have neg
lected them, spending much Of their time in the land
from which they came. We have no exceptions ia
take TO the cases particularzed, but the editor.
have presumed that in other parts of the Territory
public officers have been equally negligent, we mus
look upon the article, uncorrected calculated to
create an undue prejudice against others who have
not in the least neglected the duties Of their office
Gen. Dodge, V. P. Van Antwerp, and Judge Viii
hams, were all non-residents at the time of their
appointment. Concerning the manner in which the
two former discharged their duties, we have only
common report upon which TO make up our minds,
and by it satisfied that at all times, when not
necessarily absent they at their posts and dis
charged their duties with entire satisfaction to the
people, and honor to themselves. OF the latter, we
happen to know " a thing or two" Up to this time
he has not only been at his post due season, full
filing every appointment for holding courts in his
own District but has held courts in every county in
the first District for one term, and also held several
courts in the third District in order to accommodate
the resident Judges, to whose district they belong.
there is any discredit attached to an absence from
duty, credit must be accorded to those who are ever
ready for theirs we hope to see the Express make
the correction due to those who have been faithful to
their trust.
OaIo.-A gentleman who lately returned from
visit TO this State gives it as his opinion that at the
next election, the Democratic candidate for Cover
nor will be elected by large majority as also large
msjonty of Democratic members Of the Legislature
Although we have always been Of the opinion that
when the people in their sober reasons, excited
by no undue influences, she was strongly Democrat
c, the admission, by those whose political preferen-
ces are with the Wings strengthens our belief that
she may be relied upon in future emergencies
When the people discover that they have been led
astay, By false issues and are made to feel the evil
of their error on rcgaining the path from which they
strayed, they are strengthened in their devotion to
principles, and perhaps less liable to yield to rea
son, when an error may have crept into the plans
proposed by the party with which they act.
The recent loss of Connecticut, to say nothing of
other States that have forsaken the party now reve
ling in power and the prospect Of Waterloo defeat
in Ohio, must spread dismay throughout the Wing
camp. casting gloom over its prospects. Never
did the leaders Of party practice greater deception
upon the people than the one now in power, and the
people have determined, in retaliation to put their
mark Of condemnation upon them.
or A Washington Correspondent of Bennett'e
Herald, New York, said by the Wing papers to be
MI. Wise, has kicked up stir in the camp BY char
glng the Wing party with endeavoring to drive Mr..
Tyler to resignation, by Withholding the means for
carrying on the Government. In our opinion much
- they may wish to produce such result their
conduct has not been such as to warrant such SIM.
position. They have squandered millions in irving
to keep the Government up, and have, for this pur
pose rendered it bankrupt and in bad credit. It is
amusng to read the denunciations heaped upon the
President by such Wing presses as no longer hope
for patronage and avors from the President. The
.ssa. Republican. in noticing the matter exhibits
evident signs Of touch of the hydrophobia. Go on
#h'siings, the President viii be President still and
scess e thinks proper notwithstanding yonr con,.
plants and better denunciasions.
