u A correspondent would like to know if
Mr.. Adams's report is to be printed at the ex-
pense Of the Government Certainly. Con-
gress having assumed the right to try the Presi-
dent, will also assume the money to pay the
printer. 1t is probable that Gales and Seaton
will never again be printers 70 Congress, and it
necessary to feed them as high as possible
while the contract lasts. The election of 1843
is approaching, and the organ of the majority
must be ready 10 dash with all its wonted
animation, cle0rness,. and truth. More than
that, dignity requires money, and must have
it. Uncle Sam is very poor-quite iaasotpenl,
but he must launch oul the rocks now, or the
attached to his title.

The Portsmouth (ya.) Chronicle Is battling
manfully for Republican principles. The WASH
ington correspondent of the Chronicle, (who is
he p one of the boldest and ablest writers en-
listed in the cause, is painting with a pencil Of
light the political phanasmagoria as it exists at
Washington. These stirring times are suffi-
Gent to elicit the genius of patriots.
We extract the following paragraph from the
Chronicles Washington correspondence.
'sThe Democratic party Mr.. Tyler so much
for the ntrepidty he has displayed in arrestng the
main measures of the Federalists, that it behooves
them to consider well his claims to their support be-
fore any other be thought Of. But for this
timely aid from the State Rights portion of the
Wings, what would have been the condition of the
country, and what the prospects of the Democratic
party' The country would have been literally flood
ed with Federal measures and Federal office holders
the Democratic party hors du combat dsmayed, dis
heartened, and overthrown. These things ought to
be well considered by friends. There is beyond
doubt sincere gratitude in the nations heart to-
wards Tyler and that gratitude should be expressed
without fear or reserve. There is no danger uti-
mately of disunion in our ranks, for in the end the
claims Of all competitors will have to be submitted to
the arbitration Of National Convention"

THE EDITOR OF THE N. Y. AMERICAN IN
A RAGE.

We cannot resist the temptation to give an
extract from the Americans notice of the Veto
Message Hear how he raves at the conctud-
ing paragraph of the Message. We hope he
will not collapse:
"This Message, so unsound in reasoning, so unfair
in statement disingenuous so disrespectfui con-
cdes with what under the circumstances, could on
lv he designed as it must everywhere be viewed, as
sarcastic taunt upon the impotence of the majority
in both houses of Congress, to counterva the one
man power InsuIts-such is the nature of man
sink deeper, and remembered longer, even,
find that this uncalled for and most unbecomng sheer
wakes up, even in the most placid bosoms, deep
sense of resentment.

THE COURSE OF THE MAJORITY in
CONGRESS-.

We hear variety of speculations and con-
lectures as to the course that the majority in
Congress is likely to pursue upon the subject of
Tariff of duties One rumor is, that they
will adjourn without doing anything, and for
electioneering purposes solely, will seek TO cast
censure on the President for the failure to pass
Revenue bill. This we should infer most
likely to be the course contemplated, Judging
from what fell from the lips of Mr.. Adams who
is now the leader of the Wing party of the
House. In other words, the Constitution is to
be trampled upon for the purpose of carrying out
the heading process. The country is to be left
to take care of itself, as it best may, because the
President will not consent to ratify and confirm
the attempted bargain between Mr. Adams and
Mr.. Clay-of Tariff for the North and Distribu-
zion for the West. 1t is only change Of
terms. Formerly, it was High Tariff and In
ternal improvements-now High Tariff and
Distribution. We have but one word to say to
the Tariff men of the North Beware! Now
is your time to consult your true interests-and,
if you go into entangling alliances, you may
have cause to rue it. The President has mani
tested throughout desire to meet the manufac-
turers on liberal principles; but, if he will unite
himself with poor, puny, and ricketty con-
Germ, that cannot stand alone, on his own head
be the consequences. But it will not be. Mr..
Adams is right--it is expected of him to
stand by his former Secretary Of State, who
stood by him when the Secretary was a mem
Der of the House-but the same obligations do
not rest on others. II the Congress adjourns
without doing anything, the fault will be with
the Northern members-and so he it.
We have but one word of advice to offer TO
the Democratic members Be not deferred
from moving your Tariff bills. Let them be
based ON liberal principles; and, if Mr.. Adams
and his party choose to reject them, let it be so.
The country will readily know where to fix the
blame. Vote moreover against every motion to
adjourn, until a Tariff law be passed Such
would be our advice-and we give it only for as
much as it is worth.

A NEW TRICK-CLAY PLEDGES.

We observe that the wire-workers in Louis
vile and ST. Louis are trying to take time by
the forelock, in the way of preventing schisms
in the Clay ranks. They are hanging out, at
the printing Offices, blank sheets of foolscap for
the signatures of those in favor of Clay, in
spite of Conventions, and those signatures they
call pledges! Alas Mr.. Clay cannot be made
President even by subscription

THE ELECTIONS.

In North Carolina, it is ascerlained to GER
tainty that the Republicans have carried the
Legislature. Morehead, the Wing Governor,
is reelected by reduced majority. This was
accomplished by contemplate trick. Henry,
the Democratic candidate, from illness, was I'M
able to see the People, and while Morehead was
''sAmplng t' all over the State, his presses
circulated report that Henry had Withdrawn
from the contest!
ILLINOIS has gone for the Democrats by an un-
precedented majority.
INDIANA is doubtful.
Missouri has gone with Illinois.
KENTUCKY is doubtful. What with the split
in the Wing ranks on the relief question, and
the success Of an unusual number of Demo-
Gratis, there is reason to hope that Mr.. Crilten-
den will be "headed"

John Tyler.

The extract from the Address of the Delegates
from Maryland in the Harrisburg Convention to
their Constituents, which we publish on our First
PAGE. contains clear and forcible statement of
facts, which expose in the glazing colots OF Its
natiye deformity the Treachery of John Iyler Out
ne his own mouth is he convicted and every reader
bevopd the circle of his ofice-hoders or seekers,
must be forced to admit that if his conscience to
which he so often appeals, were indicted for It's
part in his destructive vetoes, it might safely plead
au azi6i like old Weller, in Pickwick The address
shows how in 1899, in the Virginia Convention
both in report and a speech he advocated distri-
button, and in the U. S. Senate condemned the
abuse of the Veto power. At the Convention he
enthusiastically applauded the speech of Gov
Barbour, which embodied the principles now
maintained by the Wings. While seeking the
nomination which he unfortunately obtained, he
assured Gen. Owen, the Chairman of the Nomin-
ating Committee that he believed the establish
ment of a National Bank to be alike indispensa-
bio as fiscal agent of the government, and to the
restoration of the currency and exchanges OF the
country and he thought that all constitutional OBJ
iections ought to yield to the various Executive,
legislative and Judicial decisions of the question.
How faithful he has been to this pledge, let his
vetoes testify We regret that we have not room
for the entire address, which more fully explains
the views and expectations of the delegates, and
concludes with noble and wen-merited eulogy of

Disgrace of the Navy.

There are number of young profigates wear
ing the uniform of the Navy of the United States
and actually holding commissions in the Service,
who are in the habit CT swindling-that is the cor
rect term-tailors and landlords out of clothes and
keeping, while they spend their ample pay in
haunis of dissipation and vice. These reprobates
disgrace the uniform they wear, the flag they sail
under, and ought to be exposed and expelled. OF
course, nine-tenths of our Naval Officers are gen
these should suffer in character for acts over which
they have no control, and of which they have
probably no knowledge.
But it is most in urous in another respect The
Servics is very precarious onc an officer may be
ordered to distant post OF duty at short notice ;
the money for his expenses may not be furnished ;
even his pay may be in arrears he may have "a
wife and children or mother and sisters depend
ent upon him-probably all together; and his clo
thing may be ruined or lost by casualties of the
sea, and require renewing, when he has no funds
Immediately in hand. Is there not every reason,
then, that the promise TO pay of an officer holding
the commission of the United States should com
mana universal COMMENSURATE IL SuuuIu NC re-
lied on by others and held sacred by himselfl
We regret to say that in many instances it is
not. There are thousands of dollars now due to
merchant tailors of this City from Nava! officers
who have solemny promised to pay them months
and years ago. and who have since received and
spent tens of thousands Of dollars in utter viola
ton of those promises. In one instance which
has come to our knowledge, an officer who last
fall promised on his word of honor &c pay q Bill
of $50 as soon as he could reach Norfolk, and
thereupon obtained loan ST $40 in cash from his
tailor to enable him to get there, walks the
streets of our City, after period of eleven months,
without having paid the first dollar! Ought not
such a man to be drummed out of the Service7
And he is only of large number, though
hope there are few cases SO bad as his.
1t is discreditabe to the Navy that comparisons
with the Army unfavorabic to it should be drawn,
but they ure merchant tailor recently remark
ed that he had trusted $1,000 in one year 70 Mi
litary officers Of whom he only knew that they
held commissions in the Army, and every dollar
was paid in due time; while of similar credits to
the Navy, good many had proved good for
nothing.
This should be stopped at once, and thoroughly.
Let the merchant taiors and other sufferers hold
meeting and prepare list of their vicrimizers,
giving names and sums and publish it TO the
world. Such lists would at once be posted up in
the officers mess-room of every U. S. vessel, and
the swindlers would soon be sick of showing their
faces there. They would obey resign, and thus
relieve the service in some way of the disgrace
with which they now cover it.
