Ter men have increased very rapidly of late in this
GEOGRAPHICALLY the chances of Office increase.
We perceive that Col. Hepburn, Col. Starkweather,
and many others, are all leaning towards Captain
Tyler of late, when but short time ago they were
leaning the otherway The success of Noah, the
old clo' man, is powerful example. In the late
" Evening Star" Noah cut up Captain Tyler, and it
died-in the "Union" he puffs up the same Captain,
and he lives Glorious times for converts. Won't
Col Hepburn have an Indian Agency Did not

A LAND SHARK.-Near the close of the last SEES
sion of Congress. a bill was passed regulating the
pay of pursers and forward officers in the navy.
Will say nothing OF the prncely allowance given to
pursers, In lieu Of other perqusites but cannot re.
Train from expressing the satisfaction | derive in
knowing that the valuable class of officers usu-
ally designated forward officers, are now recev
ing pay somewhat adequate to the service they are
performing In this feeling / am certain will be
joined by all true friends to the navy The news OF
the bill having passed frst reached here in letter
couched in these terms:-
DEAR SIR
Your bill has passed-send on the money
ESQ.,, sSiImake. U.s.N E. Do"'
bill, and think he ought to pay too. JED.
You will probably be as much at a loss for the
meaning OF this laconc epstle as was, until it was
explained TO me by an old hard a'weather boat
swain, IN language something like this" Why, you
see, sir, this here Mr. Dow is bit of land shark,
what cruises about Washington, and has way of
getting to wlndward of Congressman. Think they
calls MN lobby member. Now you see sir, some of
these here KNOWN sailmakers and carpenters what
learns their trade ashore, ships this Teller for $50
piece to pilot our bill through; and now you see, sir,
he wants his pilotage."
Upon reference TO the Nayy II epister I find the re
are 2 boatswalns, Al gunners, SO carpenters and 80
sail akers, from each of whom Mr. Dow expects
to receive $50, making In all the very nice sum of
S7,lW Now will not pretend to estimate the va
lue OF Mr. BOWS services the members of Con-
gress best know how far he has been instrumental
IN getting this bill passed have no sort of obec-
tons to the pursers paying him four times the amount
ne expects from them-with their enormous paw
they can well afford it-bu | do think it will be a
heavy tax upon the forward officers Boatswains
and gunners are generally bad financiers-carpen-
tiers and samakers who "learn their trades ashore 8
may know more about it,
IL Is possible that some OF your readers, who are
better acquainted with these matters than either the
boatswaln or myself, will be able to suggest some
BOWS claim may be made

From The n. Y. Courlsr & EnanIrer.


On reference TO the epeech, it will be perceived,
that MIR Webster. speaking OF the separation from
MIR Tyler so emphatlcaily proclaimed by the Wings
OF Massachusetts, IN Faneui Hall but fe~ days
previous, used the following languasc:-"And the
individual who addresses you; where do his brother
| Wings intend to place him2 Generally, when q
divorce takes place, the parents divide the chidEen:
should Ike 10 know where am TO go"
! TINS IS precisely the question which the members
OF the Wing party Of the United States have been
pliung 10 each other for more than n wear, and
which MIR Webster can alone answer. II Is not
true as alleged by Mr. Webster, that the Wing party
| IS disracled but on the contrary, there IS more
union IN their RACKS at this momcn; than at any
previous period in their history. They have as ona
man, taken their position; end John Tyler whom
they Ihoughuess!y elevated 10 power, has TUNED
traitor 10 their principles, shamelu'ly violated all
ms own pledges, and 10 the disgrace of lis ehnrGc

And me rank and file Of the Wing Pariy-and eve
~ oihcer OF character and standing among them
have promptly and feRriessY hrrayed themselves
on the side of Wing principles and against John
Tyler, with one solitary exception. That exception
IS Daniel Webster; End while ell his old friends

division Of the country. IL is the traitor and those
who ace benehued by his treason, against the a.
