will he Lo,hing etse, II will soon require control
over the trade of the country which the makers Of
ths Constitution never intended. and which would
be most forpndable partizan power. The Hoard
Of Control would control all the elections in the
cous,ry But besides being a broker and note
shaver, It ~suld be, with such an engine, mer-
chant. eoutinuslly ia the market, making profit by
buying md selling. Its interests would he found

deavcr 70 create iasem. 1t would wish to buy ex-
chunee caeup and sell il dear; and therefore 1t
would eSpand and contract its operations precisely
like The late NaiOoal Bank.

THE CUSTOM-HOUSE.

It has been currently reported for week past and
We presume the fact so, that orders have been re-
eNedby the collector of the customs at this port to
emove number Of the inspectors, and fill the va
cahcles with other persons We learn from the
newspapers, that Mr.. Roberts has been to Washing
~ 10 demonstrate against this order. OF the result
u his visit we have no information except that il
may be inferred from article in the U. S. Gazette
l Saturday, that his mission has been unsuccessful
aod that the orders Of the Government will be obey
q or that Mr.. Roberts will himself be displaced -.
W think the Gazette is in error in saying that Mr.
|tobert cannot be removed until the adjournment Of
ongress.-.fmerican Sentinel
We assert, that the U. S. Gazette, if ii is
etain of the truth of its assertion, must have
celved information directly or indirectly from
majority Of the Senators, that they would no
onhrm any successor to Mr.. Roberts durin!
qe session II this is so, what must the PEG
think Of the Senate. God knows we do no
heye them to be all Bentons, or Benton's.

THE DESTRUCTIvEs

five recoect right, there was no name given
10 the ultra Loco Foco party, which they more
stoully denied, as being in any degree applica-
BILE To them than The name Of "lhe Destruct-
ives
They would do nothing, il was urged 10 be-
ne6l the country, and were therefore called De-
structives. The Wing presses throughout the
whole country were filled with denunciations
against the Van Buren, party, because that party
did nothing for the country, and, more particu-
larly, nothing 10 regulate the currency Who
are the Destructives now2
Does any man doubt what is the trde answer
to this question: We venture 10 say no. No
man doubts that Henry Clay and his rabid parti-
sans are the men who prevent the immediate
adoption, by Congress, Of an Exchequer that
would furnish sound circulating medium
throughout the Union, restore confidence, and,
without any imitation of the currency, furnish a
means of remittance, that would greatly facili-
tate the exchange Of commodities from one end
of our wide-extended territory to the other.
Ask any Of the moderate men Of the Wing
party, both in and out of Congress, who are the
men that oppose that measure, and the answer
is,-We are willing to go for it, BuT-ay, that
BUT !! BUT THE WEST will not agree to it.
Ask the moderate men Of the other party, the
real Democrats-not the utras-and they feel
half inclined to go for such measure, bul-they
fear to be- denounced by their party. So we
tell the good People of the United States, what
we have often said before, and shall, over and
over again repeat to them-nothing but your
will, expressed in language not TO be misunder-
stood, can remedy the evils under which the
country now groans. Ground as it is between
the upper and the neither milestone of Mr.. Clay,
and his ultras, on one side, and the ultra Loco
Focos ON the other. Would that the true Demo
cracy would come out from among these unha-
lowed combinations, and unite with the Admin
istralion-then would the husbandman rejoice
in his fields the artist in his workshop, and then
would our surplus be waited into every sea by
our hardy and jolly tars and peace and plenty
become the landmarks of liberty to bless the
political and moral honesty Of an industrious
People.

TRIBUTE OF OFFICIAL RESPECT.


TO THE HONORABLE ELISHA NJ. HUNTINGTON,
Commissioner Of The General Land Office,
from his subordinates in office.
At the moment when the official relations that sub
sisi between US are about to be finally severed we
fail to express, at the parting the high of
regard which we entertain for you from the recolec-
ton of the urbany of your official demeaner, and the
ndulgent kindness which have characterised those re
lations towards us.
Nothing is grateful to the feelings of subordi-
mates in office than confidence that their superior i
capable of approaching their we.meant efforts in the
public service and enertans that consderate regard
for their Individual comfort, which, always consistent
with the character Of gentleman, is not found in
compatible with the public interests Of an office.
The conviction that personally and officially, your
feelings towards have been of the kind and gene
nature alluded to- has tended to sweeten Off
cal labors in the past, and adds poignancy to the
greet we experience in parting at the present, and
request that with your retirement from Office at the
seat of Government you will carry with you the as
surance Of our best wishes for your happiness and
well being for all the future

CONGRESS.

On Tuesday, in the House, Mr. Brockway
was, on his own motion, excused from the Com
mittec on Post Offices on account of indisposi
ton.
On leave, Mr. Calhoun offered resolution
calling on the Secretary of War to furnish
schedule of the pay, under all its forms, to the
officers Of the Army above the grade Of Leute-
nant
The Speaker then laid before the House two
communications in relation the New ork Gus
tom House report one from the President, inclos-
ing letter from B F. Butler, late Attorney Of the
United States fot New Y ork and another from the
Secretary. The main point OF MIR. Buffers let
ter was request that lie might be put in pos
session Of charges and proofs thereof, made
against himself, if any. He had not seen the
report, but had learned that he was implicated
by examinations contained in i.
A motion was made to print these eommunl-
cations. Objection being made, Mr.. Everett
called for the reading Of them, and afterwards
the motion for printing was carried.
"A communication was also laid before the
House from the Secretary of the Treasury,
stating the emoluments of the District Attorney
and Clerk Of Mississippi. 1t was ordered to be
printed.
The Speaker also laid before the House pa
pers in relation to the Florida election. This
also was ordered to be printed.
The House then went into Committee of the
Whole, Mr. Thompson, of Indiana, in the char,
and took up the Civil Appropriation bill. The
Senate amendment, increasing the appropria-
ton for the Marine Hospital in Mobile to
$15,000 was concurred in On the amend
ment and proviso, in relation to the Boston
Custom House, protracted debate arose. FL
nally, the vote being taken with regard to the
Senate amendment, it was found there was no
quorum.
when a ca of the House wa, ordered-l26
members answering to their names. On the
motion of Mr. Fillmore, further proceedings in
the call were suspended, and the House again
went into committee. The Committee of the
Whole refused to concur in the amendment OF
the Senate granting 100000 to the custom
house in Boston. The sum of $4,000, origl-
nally ordered by the House, remained in the
bill.
On the next Senat2 amendment, which APP
proprates $4,000 for payment of sums now
due for completing the custom house at New
York, Mr.. Profit made. in opposition to the
amendment, an able speech, manilestlng great
industry of research. The principal point OF
has objection rested on the fact, that the money
now called for had been already spent without
the authority of Congress, and in the teeth OF
the refusal OF Congress TO appropriate the mo-
ney His speech opened the debate, and Mr.
Fillmore followed in an elaborate reply.

MIR. BUCHANAN.

For this gentleman we have considerable
public life, and the urbaniiy, ease and proprety
Of manner distinguishing his private relations,
create an esteem which we take pleasure in
publicly expressing. There are some things,
however, about Mr. Buchanan as politician,
which we cannot admire. He is too much in
the habit of endeavoring to produce political eff
fects, by party appliances. He is too much
in the habit Of descending from the Senatorial
platform, and toing amid the dust of the melee
for partisan victory. In other words, the
Senator from Pennsylvania not only makes
strictly electioneering speeches, but what is
worse, he seems to do so.
On the day before yesterday, for instance, in
the course ola long party speech in the Senate,
he undertook to draw the lines OF party by which
he very modestly arrogated to himseta bona fde
Jeffersonianism, while John Tyler, now Presi-
dent Of the United States, was made, if not by
direct charge, at least by insnuation, no better
than one Of the ungodly. In truth, Mr. Tyler
was reckoned in light little better than a
Federaist. Now, all this is excessively farci-
cal, and we invite Mr. Buchanan TO try his
powers in three act farce, to be entitled A
Burlesque on Republicansm, in which he shall
make himself play the part OF converted JET
fersonian. We have no doubt in addition, he
would attempt to make the President perform
the part of mock Federalist, but he cannot
succeed in making him do this, even in jest, SO
he had better leave him out Of his play alto
gether. But we have no doubt the Senator
from Pennsylvania would act the part Of a
converted Republican, as well any where
else as he does in the Senate chamber.
But to be more serious is it not approaching
on the confines of the alb ,urd for James Blu
chanan, the wool-dyed Federalst up to late
period, and the author of the slow wages sys-
tenn, system so exceedingly Democratic,
should, by direct charge, or by inference, endea-
vor to create an impression in the country that
he is Republicans, and that John Tyler is
none2 One scarcely knows whether to laugh,
as he would at some dexterous touch in a melo-
drama, or to get downright angry, and to thun-
der out indignation against the arrogance OF
such contrast If there is a man whose me-
mory the President, as politician, does idol
lze, it is that of Jefferson and the difference be-
tween Mr.. Tyler and Mr.. Buchanan in this re-
spect is just this: While Mr. Tyler uses Jefer-
sons name, and dwells on his memory, and
calls 10 recollection his sage political precepts
with admiration and reverence for the revolu-
tionary patriot, Mr.. Buchanan writes the name
upon piece Of paper, pins it TO his coat, or
sticks it on his forehead, and thus labelled,
fancies that the public cannot appreciate the
difference between feeling and trick. Not
so, MIR. Buchanan, as time will show.
Mr.. Tyler has been in public life, in response
bic stations, for nearly thirty years Before you
accuse him, Mr.. Buchanan, OF Federalism, point
to any aci, during his political career which is
not strictly Jeflersonan

New YORK, Nav 7, 1912

NEW lOhh WAY ~ iOf~'
The editorial genius" Of "a certain portion Of
the press in this quarter is sadly perplexed at
finding small supply Of materials to work up
into articles" TO "head Captain Tyler" The
old stock is pretty well FUSED up" and "Captain
in conformity with the Constitution, that the
whole '.corps editorial" can now scarcely frame
an s.ndignation artclen "His Accidency"-
s'the Corporal's Guard"-and even the Presi-
dents s.nose," have all become worn out sub
jects-and they all sit round, watching for some
thing new TO catch up and handy round. 1t is
really painful to witness the editorial distress
consequent upon the pertinacious quiet and Con-
situtional adherence of the President in the per
Torrance of his duties If he persevere in this
course he will destroy the interest OF the editorial
columns of the locofoco portion of the Wing press.
Can I we manage some way or other, to get the
President out in open opposition to some article
of the Constitutional address some out-of-the-
way message to Congress-propose some uncon-
stitutonal scheme-reiuse the performance OF
some duty ?-Or, if he will not do either OF
these, then smoke cigar and pipe at one and
the same time-order new carriage, and di-
rect new lvcry-urn the carpet of the EAST
ROOM or order a new one; do something that
NAV furnish materials for an editorial dash ? II
he does not, don't know what will become
of some of our editors, who see no hopes OF
advancement or office, unless they can put dorm

don't know man who has been so regard
less of party organization as our present
President He seems to have got notion in
his head that his constitutional duties are supe-
ror to the claims of party, and can't believe
that it was the intention of our revolutionary
fathers that this Government was intended to
serve party, and not the whole people. Sc
long as he holds this cold fashioned" notion,
he may expect 10 get sad scraping from the
imbibed the new doctrine that "the spolls OF
| the vanquished belong to the vctors"
| The President seems to suppose that he i:

he has heard it announced in a high place and by
| high authority that it is "sad spectacle thai

party without Presidentn Well, | dom
know that am right, but being myself NOR,
for my country than for any party in it, and be
