Grand Speculation.

Some one at Washington is most numerically
hoaxing the Editor of the Madisonian. He an
nounced some time since that great capitalist
was about purchasing all the claims against the
States, amounting to the small sum of 5000, 00o,-
600, and he now gives the followins particulars OF
the operation:
Since our paragraph on this subject we bear it
rumored about town that the great capitals, as
soon as he has completed certain preliminary ar
rangcments with certain presses and politicians,
will instruct his agents (who have been csnduc-
ting the negotation~with the greatest skl) close
the bargain with the European creditorssa the
States The claims amount lie 5000, 100000, The
purchaser agrees to give $140o00,O00 for them;
and it is estimated that some $40, 100000 viii be
spent in this country by way of fees, largesses,
subscriptions to papers, betting with politicians,
presents, dinners, dances, &c, SC. This viii

Loco-Foco Corruption.

A fac, stated on Thursday by Mr. Linn, (Chair-
man of the Committee on Public Expenditures is
highly instructive as TO the proprety OF checks and
guards the administration power.
y manufacturer OF mail bags in Ohio in conside-
ration of his conserving to become the Loco T oco
candidate for State Senator received new contract
for mail-bass 10 the amount of between 500 600
and 100000, at reduction of only nee per cent
ON the former preposterous prices, while Wing
manufacturer was at the same time offering to con-
tract for any amount at reduction Of twenty FIVE
ard afteen per cent on former prices The Loco.

is ,ha. the Department has now $4,000 worth OF
new nail.bags on hand entirely useless, and having
been so for ycars-,he contract SO fur exceeding
the wants of the Department, for the sake giving
fat job 10 worthless pagtisaa as a reward for
political services. The correspondence with MIR.

Eoagpiracy.

We should ike to see Dictionary compiled by
the Editor of the Madisonian. 1t would be the
foundation of new language, if all the definitions
were as original as the one which he seems to at
tach 10 the word conspiracy. According to John
son, Webster, and other photographers, 1t means
combination of number of persons, but the
Editor applies it to the intentions and actions OF
single individual. Mr.. Bolts, on his own sugges-
ton without consultation or advice from his col
leagues, proposed an impeachment OF the Presl-
dent. Whatever might be the merits or faults OF
the measure he avowed himself alone responsible
for it. In the teeth of this, the Madisoniaa re-
news its cuckoo cry of " conspiracy" which, IN
the usual sense of the word be applied to this
member only by supposiag him to be like the
portly Falstati, q three single gentlemen rolled
into one"
The same Court Journal prociaims that :" treG-
son is lurking in the Capitol. y The Editor is
showing his hand too We were not aware
that Mr.. Tyler was already, whatever his wishes

the best interests Of the country-to sacrifice pre-
sent popularity to future gratitude-to spend labo
rious days and watchful nights in devising plans to

been settled BY decisions in both Houses IN Sat.
urday last upon the report of the Committee OF
Commerce on the bill, which now wants oni! The
signature of the President of the United States TO

between the two Houses was brought about by the
Senate's reccding from its opposition TO an mpor-

{being amended in the corference,l provides that
until otherwise ordered by Congress, the officers

Fxonx for the sou.h.wess

The Loeo-Foco drill-sergeants Of the South
Western Counties held what they called :. Demo
cratic Railroad Convention at Owego on the
Goth ult ostensibly to devise ways and means for
ensuring the completion of the New-York and Erie
in the Chair, with ten Vice Presidents and four
Secretaries. Hon. Charles Humphrey of Iomp-
kins was Chief Speaker. After reasonable
time for thinking, the Convention soemnly re-
solved LIST, That the Erie Railroad ought to be
built; 3D. That the State ought to build it; Sd,
That, to this end the Legislature should be re-
qured, at its approaching Extra Session, TO direct
Comptroller Flagg to bid IN the Road, at his ad-
vertised sale of it in December next. The Con-
venton then adjourned, to meet again at Elmira
the e8th Of September.
Now all this has a decisive look about it, and
doubt not very pretty shan fight will be got
up the subject the Extra Session, and the IN
structions 10 the Comptroller voted by n snug ma
iorty And when this is done, what will be
gained. what secured for the Road, Nothing.
There will be no sort of obligation resting Oh the
next Legislature appropriate one dollar for the
continuation of the work. The State will not have
incurred one cents additional responsibility in the
premises. The whole continuance appears to us
a mere blind-a scheme to throw dust in the eyes
of the Soush-Wes, while Regency Governor is
chosen from the Centre, and Regency Legisla-
ture secured, which will continue the leading, IN
yeteratc enemies OF all Internal Improvement in
power as Senator. Comptroller, Secretary of State,
&c. That secured, and the State nailed to their
cur for two wears the Southwest viii be welcome
10 the building of their Railroad as fast its ssr
plus PROFITS shall afford the means
We say to the real friends of the railroad, BE
no, deceived This whole Convention and It's
brave words were all rehearsed beforehand in Al
hanv, and It's real object is TO sustain the enemies
of all Internal Improvement. The adjourned Con-
vcntion has the same purpose. Those of you who
scish to be cheated ,ciH be of course; but those
who really want the Railroad butt must know that
it can only be by having its slSsEKE FRIENDS in
power--not those who assume the part for this
night only-by particular desire If they doubt,
let them look to the ,ener of our City journals,
City meetings, and the votes of our City Deega-
lions on the subject, through the last ten years.
The Erie Railroad can never be built with Yo1SG
and FLAee in the high places Of the State; SHER,
weop their spokesman in the Senate, and Horr-
Man leading the Assembly Ii is idle to think
of it.
The Loco-Focos of the South-Wes, appear 10
be ensmored of the financial and general skill
OF Mr. Comptroller Flagg as Railroad broker
aud aucsioncer, and enrress him TO follow his
hand This is a matter of taste, in which We are
sure a large majority of the State disagree with
them.
