"The leading measures of the Administration will
be the Exchequer Tariff for revenue, and proceeds
of the public land sales pledged to discharge the pub
lie debt. Those of the opposition will be National
Bank, High Protective Tariff, and unconditional dis
trbution.

two great parties of the country, and every citizen
at perceive the distinct features of the re-
spective policy governing each The Administration
occupies the true and safe ground Tariff for rere-
nue., such the productive labor of the country Will
be content with--the proceeds of the public lands
pledged to redeem the national debt will at once
throw open the Golfers of all Europe in the purchase
of National stock or temporary loans and the Exche

currence of all parties Let Congress periodically
carry out these principles, and country earth
will be more prosperous and happy than our own.

GREAT WASTE OF GRIEF.

Mr.. Roberts, the Collector it seems, could not pre-
vail upon Mr. Tyler to believe that all the men un-
der him perfect patterns public officers dilgen
ly attending to their own business and not troubling
their heads about politics Eloquent expostulations
having failed, the Collector and his friends have re-
sorted to tears and three pnts ofgrief flowed yester
day through the morning journals, at the sad result
of the mission. The same journals, few days ago,
went into ecstacies of rejoicing because the utras of
both parties in the Senate, in facous fit, rejected
Mr.. Tyson, whom they had confirmed in an office
equally responsible but few months before We
have something better to do for readers, than to
follow the crooked windings of politicians but we
cannot help noticing the vast difference there is be-
tween turning out the friends and the opposers of
particular clique. Ifone man. whose ability is proved
and whose conduct is approved, is rejected without
cause and it occasions rejoicing, we see no reason
why rejection of others, the conduct of some of
whom never was approved, should cause such floods
Of sorrow. Why did not the sympathy of some Of
those tender hearted persons manifest itself year ago.
when one hundred poor men went, at one fell swoop,
for no cause except difference of opinion. Oh !!
the selfshness and hypocrisy Of scurvy politicians

The exciting moment had al length arrived, and all
that immense concourse of spectators were 10 breath

the first three miles Boston kept about length ahead
but Fashion passed him on the fourth and came In
about her length ahead making the heat in minutes
and 32a seconds.
Alter lapse of 80 minutes the bugle again sound
ed and they were off for the second heat. Fashion
took the lead the first miles, and Boston came IN
ahead the third mile but was passed again by Fash
ion on the fourth winning the second heat by about
80 yards
The purse was 900 a side, which was put up
on Monday and the prelimnares settled Some few
small bets were made on the ground but not to any

The weather although cloudy in the morning, bod

even they submitted with Christian fortitude.

GOVERNOR CLEVELAND'S MESSAGE.

Chauncey F. Cleveland, the new Governor of Con-
necticut, was inaugurated on Friday last, on which
day his message to the two branches of the Legsla-
ture was delivered. The doctrines of this message
are those maintained by the Democracy of the coun-
try and SUCH we trust as will be carried out by the
Legislature of Connecticut, far as it has the
power.
On the subject Of the tariff the Governor holds
that the amount of revenue imposed and collected
should be limited to the current expenses of an eco
nomical administration of the Government, and that
this revenue should be raised in such manner as to
furnish incidental encouragement to American labor.
As he not in favor of raising expressly for
distribution, he would have the distribution act
pealed and the avas of the public lands pledged for
the payment of the public debt
In regard TO National Bank, he utters sentiments
to which every democrat will respond. Hesays-
81 cannot but give uterance to my feelings that in
the successful preservation of the country by the
stitutiona exercise of the power from the threat
ened calamilies of National Bank amidst infiu-
ences which few men could have overcome the Pre-
sident of the United States has displayed irmness
of principle in the discharge of duty, which deserves
our gratitude 1t was an act of duty fearessy
performed, of which desire to express my full appro-
baton and that too as sincerely believe with the
concurrence Of large majority of the people of this
State. Without questioning the purity the motives
of those who differ from this subject, and yield
ing to them the right to express their opinions
which claim for myself cannot but regard every ef.
fort for combination Of moneyd power IN Nat onal
Bank of any description, under any FORM as cali
ing for the patriotic resistance Of every friend OF re-
publican liberty We are beyond the reach of sucb
influences now, and il Is the part OF wisdom 10 re-
main so"

THE ALL eyed FRAUDS.

THE ALLEGED FRAUDS.
The american of Saturday, has the following par
agraYPhs; -,
sanction of official functionares, at the late charter
election, much has already been said. On Monday,
we shall lay before readers mos startling devei-
opement on this head-being the result of Judicial In
vestiga'ions, conducted by justice Taylor.
The Mayor elected for his official honesty and
firmness by Wing votes) was duly appraised by JUS
tce Taylor of the progress the investigation he was
carrying on, especially in relation to the release, be-
fore their time, of prisoners Backwels Island in
the night and during the night previous to the cleo
ton, and their being brought down by keepers, and
conveyed to the district wach-house; but this honest
magistrate remained Indifferent and RETAINED from all
encouragement of, participation in, the nvestiga
ton"
There is truth in what is here said of the indf-
ference of the Mayor No sooner had he heard of
the report that prisoners had been discharged from
BackwelFs Island than he proceeded thither, in
company with Justice Taylor, and had the books of
the establishment thoroughly examined both to the
number of persons discharged, and when discharged
Transcripts of the books also made, and
brought to the city, that they might be examined in
connection with the aidavits of different PERSONS
The Mayor has been present at these examinations,
and many of the affidavits are in his own hand
writing.
As to the frauds of which the American speaks,
we know nothing beyond what appears in the public
papers If they have been committed the present
authorities likely to ferret them out, and punish
the perpetrators they deserve We are told, that
it has been the custom for years, under the admins
raon of both parties TO get prisoners released from
BlackwelPs Island in order that they might vote at
the city elections. 1t is time that nef,rious prac
ce should be put an end to- If any persons connect
ed with the Democratic party have been engaged in
it, we should be among the first to wish to see them
exposed and punished.

We agree with the North American that spring
has its pretty features of which occasional glimpse
is Afforded u.s. 1t is very delightful and then,
when one has his umbrella al hand and has not
far to walk to get his great coat Roses and voIets
sparkling streams and meodious woods are all very
sweet no doubt; but enthusiasm about April
and May is imported and traditional. 1t comes from
exotic poesy and steader cImes. With u.s. though
blossoms scent the air, and the sun by fits, beams
warmly, too often compelled TO babbe of green
fields while borrowing little caoric from the heated
siove to render this spring time altogether healthful
and agreeable The alienation of smiles and tears
of endearing fondness and chey repulse is piquant
enough to be sure, when love is the theme of the
MINSTREL and when the soft sympathes of the souls
are sufficiently excited to from catching
death of cold but in affairs of downright meteoroo-
gy in its connection with simple hygiene we must in
sst upon it that bleak and bareaced winter or the
glowing, mature summer is safely TO be trusted
than the time of buds and blossoms We therefore per-
sist in our caution about flannel and damp-ex peng
fires. A cold in the head stitch in the side is sad
return for sitting mossy bank to watch the violet
opening Its blue eye it is unpleasant TO greet Flora with
sneeze, and though the music of the streams just re-
leased from the icy bonds of winter, is sufficiently
melodious, yet frog in ones throat is not fascna-
ting companion, unless il be taken after the French
fashion.

Congress and citizens of Washington, who have
long felt the want of establishment ofths kind has
opened Reading Room in the rear of his store on
Pennsylvania avenue next door west of the American
Hotel. The room Is handsomely fitted up, and files
of the latest papers from every portion of the country
may always be found on hand. He has also made ar
rangements TO obtain the English newspapers by the
Boston and New York line of steam packets in adj
vance of the mail. This arrangement, he trusts, will
meet with share of general patronage, owing the
numerous calls of transient persons who in Wash

try.
He respectfully invites all strangers, well as the
residents of the District to call and examine his files,
where they will be permitted to read the latest journals
