The Argus OF Wednesday contains an
article upon the subject Of reduction Of
the expenses Of the city which, al
though it may be very popular is cal
culated 10 convey erroneous impress
,sions. 1t is not true that when the
present salaries were fixed labor was
high. They were all reduced last
spring except that the Mayor. As
to'the policy OF giving a salary to the
Mayor, we do not express an opinion
but we know that a very heavy duty
must devolve on him, and il il is
not made post Of honor and ac-
.cepted by some one who an'afFord TO
exPend money and time upon it, should
be attended with a salary Of at least 500
dollars The item Of "po siage'' is no
small expense,and the time and other ex-
,penses leave but little profit on the 500
dollars.
OF the Clerks duties we havo had
some little opportunity OF knowing some
thing, and are free TO express the opin-
ion, that if man Of good abilities can
be found, who can give his whole time,
provide an Office Of suitable size and
convenience, TO receive the thousand and

Your communication demands Of me
a word or two Of explanation. A some
what closer examination of the illustra-
ton, drawn from your support of John
| Tyler in 1910, would have shown you
that Mr.. Mcdowell was not only consis.
tent in his opinions, but that he was al.
so, no Rbolitionist. You might with the
same Propriety be accused of locofoco
ism, or any other ism which al present
attaches to Capt. Tyler, merely because
you voted for him, when he presented
the 'extreme circumstances" of a COED
Wing, as 10 accuse the Governor OF
nbolltiOnism, now, because he delivered
his speech Of 1882. Ills general asser-.
ton that man can have no right OF pro-
perty in man, must be taken only in its
usual sense. Any other Interpretation
would be absurd, since it is contradcted
by the actual existence Of slavery from
the very foundation OF the world. The
correct rule of Interpretation in all cases
is, that we should be governed by &C
comPanying circumstances. These
considered, you have admitted all that
commended for, and all that would have
been asked.
Your insinuation or peRersity, in de-
ferdlng Gov. Med. against such charge
without having done the same thing
for Mr.. Clay, may pass for as much as
il is worth. This question Of abolition
ism is thing apart from politics, and
as such have been disposed TO consid-
er il. The exalted patriotism Of MIR.
Clay is sufficient to render him harmless
Of ony such charges. Mr.. Mcdowell is
the Governor Of our own State, under
circumstances which render his opin-
ions on this subject Of some importance
to the general welfare. This first, and
these circumstances, have been offered
as the apology, for attaching him with
so much yIrulance Whether, the
same circumstances would not be more
likely, than wilful perversity, to inllu-
ence me in undertaking his defence. /
am wiling 10 leave for others 10 deter
mine. You, however, absolye Mr.. Med.
from the charge Of aboIitionisrp, and
place him, on this subject, in the same
category with Mr.. Clay, and there am
perfectly willing that he should rest.-
We can both, no doubt, heartily Join in
tho wish that he may soon repent Of his
political errors, and be found occupying
the same exalted footing with Mr.. Clay
all other respects. X.
