APPLICANTS FOR OFFICE THE PRE-
SIDENT,S MESSAGE.


We insert below the Message of the Presi-
dent sent TO the House Of Representatives on
Wednesday, in reply to a call requesting the
names of the members of the present and last
Congress who have been applicants for Office.
Though the call necessarily assumes the form
OF resolution adopted by the House, we do
not conceive that body, OF even maj ority Of it,
responsible for its adoption. The responsibility
rests on the member who proposed il. A call
for information is usually adopted as matter Of
course in courtesy to the person who makes it,
without any particular inquiry into the charac
ter of the resolution, or the motives by which
its proposition was prompted. Condemning the
resolution, we therefore do not pretend that any
blame should be attached to the branch of the
Legi Stature by which it was, as a matter Of
form, adopted. Condemning it, we do, we
rejoice at the manner in which it has been met
by the Executive. He has refused to reply to
the CALL for reason which few will be found not
to pronounce satisfactory He has refused sub
mission to this extension of the new theory of
courtesy upon grounds of policy and propriety
Certain persons, il would seem, are not salts
fled with advocating the proprety of publishing
private conversations and opinions incidentally
expressed and partially understood, and with
carrying out their principles in practice, but they
wish to compel the President, by the authority
of the House of Representatives, to initiate
their illustrious example.
To the reasons assigned by the President, for
refusing obedience to the call, little, in our OPT
mon, can be added We invite out readers to
give this document careful perusa and they
will need no further argument to be convinced
Of the indelicacy and improperly of the call
proposed in the House. The President is not
asked to give an account o. his official acts, but
10 publish private and confidential letters, and
even to communicate incidental conversations,
TO obey which demand, he must either make his
reports from the uncertainty of memory, or keep
record of all that may be said TO him. He
must act Boswell to all his visters at least to
those who hold any important public station.
The resolution to which he replies in this mes
sage is the ne plus ultra OF espionage!

MR.. TALMADGE'S REPORT.

We invite the attention of the reader to the able
and staesnanke report ot,Mr Senator Tallmadge on
the new financial scheme of the administration WHICH
we publish to-day. Long this document Is, we
have felt bound to give IT entire, from the great mn
potance OF the subject, no less than the clear ahi
practical manner in which ii is handled. We are
confident that the character and bearing of the
scheme n,atured by the Senate need only to be un-
derstood by the people to receive their approval and
support AT period like this, when the country
from extreme TO the other and in every depart
ment Of trade ard industry in which her citizens
engaged is suffering from disordered currency and
all ITS attendant evils it is the duty Of our public men
to give evidence of their patripsm II they have
any by uniting upon measure which holds out q
reasonable project Of relief That the Exchequer

condition of the county. How hen can our national
Legislators Justify to their constituents any mus IKE
iactious opposition to this measure How can thty
Justify il TO their own bosoms-lhtir own conscience
las patriots and states men who haye we welfare
of the people at heart Dare they asi6nc the respon
shiliy of rcecng scheme, manly because " Is an
administration scheme? In the language OF Mr.
Webster IN his Philad phia letter published hri
week The administration asks one thing u thee
American People, and that Is fair trial" Let the
Exchcduer have a fair trial" Let ii 90 into opera
ton The interests of the Government and the intc
rests of the people demand it,. The whole country
looks To Congress to.do something at its present
sion that will give settled character to its 6nancraf
policy, something that by ahordng a sound and
venlent currency to the nation will restore confidence

things being equal, preference would be given to
the Post Office conveyance on account of its
superior security.
Another thing that will have tendency TO
prevent these interierences by private convey
ances will be the new graduation and conse-
quent reduction of the rates of postage as pro-
posed by the Postmaster General. According
to the plan offered by that able officer, the charg
es are TO be made in Federal money, by which
means the duties Of the Poslmasters will be
rendered less burdensome and, although the
postage on letters sent for certain distances will
be increased, that on other descriptions will be
most materially reduced BY lowering the
Of postage, the cost to individuals will be re-
duced whilst the aggregate product TO the De-
partment will be much increased, and when
persons can send their letters with safety, cele-
rty, and economy they will not be disposed to
run the risk attendant on trusting TO private re-
sponsibility. We had proposed to treat this
matter more at length, but shall reserve the sub
ject for future and more elaborate consideration.

The letter adds that the amount of English ton
mage at other Southern ports also 'uay large,
and has been for some time constantly increasing 1t

with the subject that nelrly II not quite one-ha'f of

s1d.Doctor Lardners lecture Wednesday
ing last was no, numerously attended We hau
expected owing as We presume, TO the impression so
generally prevalent that discoveries of the kind
intended for individual gain than public nstruc-
ton. We have always considered what are termed
popular lectures scientific subjects peculiarly va
liable in putting prominent points before the public
eye to the exclusion of dry and voluminous details
that to tmbarrass and confound the reader or
hearer and in this point Of view consider the Doc
tors dscourses entitled TO favor The dag iams used
by the lecturer arc well adapted to the purpose for
which they are introduced, and present medium
through which the abstruse calculations Of sci
ence are happily illustrated

The CiLLEY DUEL.-After four years of repose
this unhappy affair has been again brought before the
public, and vehement discussions are even now in pro
gress, touching the degree of blame that should be
awarded to the survivor and the friends by whose ad
vice he acted Mr. Wise has written and published
columns u on the subject seeking to make it appear
that if blame belongs anywhere it is to Mr. Clay, and
not TO him; and the journals of the party to which
MIR Cilley belonged have caught eagerly at Mr.
Wses revelations, not in the interests Of morality OF
justice but to crafty their hatred Of the ilustrous
Western statesman, whom they cordially detes
and so abectly fear,-.N Y. Com .4dp.
The matter might have reposed forever, had moi
the friends of the Commercials illustrous states
man" raked it up themselves for the purpose of Kill
hug the whom they feared more than any Other
and whom they had more reason to fear-who had
long permitted himself to be injured by it unjustly
Mr. Clay ,crote the challenge, and Mr.. Wise bore it
Therefore the former is fully much to blame a.
the latter As to the party to which Mr. Cilley be
loged," it has only done an act of justice to grea
man.
That Mr. Clay is an ustrious orator, no Ameri
can will deny. That Mr. Wise wields as great an
influence in the affairs Of Government as any man o
his years, is equally undeniable.
