Ja., Of all Eve hope it may be first in effort and
ac,;onl comes the necessity for Retrenchmeat in
| The expenses of the Government. There is great
room for it in the Navy, and still greater IN our
Diplomatic service. The prospect OF sl9 900 outfit
and one years salary to figure as an Embassador
at some European Court has corrupted too many
Of our eminent men. The outfit ought at least 10
be reduced to S. ,00O though We should prefer to
cut it down to 81, 600 and increase tho salary to
$4,000. Now Minister gets his SIG 900 and
sometimes stays abroad but few months; John
Randolph staid ia Russia but ten days.-We men
ton this because we are convinced that the evil
is hagrant one corrupting our leading politicians
and perver,ing portion of our People. We see in
the newspaper letters from Americans abro ad a
frequent camor for the increase of ambassadors
salaries in order that they may occupy more stately
houses and give grander and more frequent enter
tainments to our citizens in Europe-to wit, the
etter-writers-Then there is Mr.. Arnod's bill TO
reduce the pay and mileage Of Members-we hope
10 see that introduced the first week of the Session,
and pressed to the Yeas and Nays before the end
Of December. If delayed, it will be defeated by
side-stabs, a. it was last winter.-Ihe 1agrani
abuses eracticed in the appointment OF Tx
ecutive agents to travel in the service OF the Post
Office, the Customs, and to act on Investigations,
&c. &C. should be cut of. There is also great
want of Economy in the Judicial service OF the
Union, and heavy charges are made by and allowed
TO Marshals, Clerks &c. for extra services under
the Bankrupt Law which ought to be scrutinzed
and cut down. The abominabe perversion OF
Public Money to the support of rickety Loco-Foco
journals by sops of Government Advertising,
should be stopped eHectually. And then consid-
-ring the high value of money the low price OF
every thing else, and the hardness of the times, a
general reduction of salaries and compensations,
to the exten, of twenty to thirty per cent. would
be most acceptable to the country.
Wings in Congress the energy and resolution
which you shall display during the Session about
% open will measure and govern the manifesto
lion Of similar qualities by your brethren through
out the Country. The spirit in which you shall
discharge your duties will electrify or paralyze
every Wing heart from Mars Hill to Nacgodoches.
Need we entreat yoH to remember the peris and
he wrongs of your Country

This is close work, but we think the chance is
decidedly best for Davis and the Wings. A ma
ioriy Of one in the House will suffice to hll the va
cancies in the Senate, and secure Governor.
The votes cast for Congress at the late Election
have been officially canvassed, and William Jack

Congress in place of w S. Hastings, deceased
Mr. Winthrop is Of course elected from Boston in

p THOMAS RlrcH1E, the veteran Editor Of the
Richmond Enquirer, is proposed for Governor OF
Virginia. He is one of the ebest Editors in the
Country, and has kept his party in the ascendant
n Virginia when no other man could have done
it, They ought to show him the evidence OF their
,pprcciation which his election as Governor would
sive but we presume they won't. James Nc

~ Hon Tom. MARSHALL has been travelling
through his District, and delivering harangues
abusive of his Wing associates in Congress, and
full of suppressed hatred to Mr. Clay. We have
read sketches of several o! them, and cannot make
out wha, is the ground of hostility to MIR. Clay, OF
what course he proposes to pursue with regard to
lim Mr.. NJ. seems rather afraid of running
again for Congress, and refuses to commit himself
on that point.
~ We are indebted, as we have been almost
every day, this season, to the Express of Messrs.
ADAMS & Co. for Eastern papers.
~ Mr. Sherman, the Contractor, has called
upon us in relation to the accident which occurred
in the Third Avenue, an account of which we gave
on Thursday. He states that he took all proper
precaution 10 prevent accidents by raising barri-
cade, and placing lamps in the cut; and that the
planks, &c. used for this barricade must have been
stolen. MIR. Allen, the Engineer, who has made
inquiries in regard to this accident, has also called
unon us and states rs bis belief that Mr.. Sherman
