New-York daily tribune., 1843-12-25
rIeanness Both wavs.

OF the House a reputed W filg, but elected manly
by Loco Foco votes procured new Carpet for
the Representatives Hall, which was manutac-
tured in England. Thereupon we have seen a
hundred Loco-Foco papers abusing the Wing
House for an act they knew nothing OF, and a
| few Wing papers trying to parry the blow by
| charging it on the present Loco foco House =
All this is very contemplate. Not oaiy did
neither House have any thing to do with the
matter, but even the hybrid Clerk was, we be-
lieve, equally innocent. He simply ordered a
Carpet OF the requisite dimensions OF an eminent
carpet house in this City, and they ordered it
manufactured In England, and it was done We
have not doubt that they could have obtained
a better article here at less cost, but Uncle Sam
ioots the olll, and 1t would do to charge higher
profit on Carpet purchased In Kldderminster
than one made in Lowell. We suppose that is
the reason of buying it abroad.
The new Senate carpet was made in this coun-
try. There is nothing remarkable about it, (unless
1t be the price, of which we are ignorant) but it
is decidedly better article than that of the
House, SO far as we can Judge.
The Clerk of the Senate is a Democrat says
little Loco Foco sheet in Onondaga. (Heis the
same one that the Wings have Just unanimously
reelected for the second tiIne.) He probably or
dered carpet, just as the House Clerk did, with.
out direction or caring where it should be made,
and his politics, whatever they may be, had just
as much to DO with the matter as his religion.
is not the whole of this Carpet business
about the lowest and dirtiest electioneering even
of this age of baseness?

Copper, which pays no duty at al, and correct

The VACANCY IN TIE U. S. CouRT.-We no.
tlce in almost every paper some new name for this
highly honorable and worthy station. In the
American of last evening among others is that Of
HIRAM KErcnuN Esq. of this City. Those who
know that gentleman need not be told, that in
flexible and fearless integrity, large reach OF
mind, and close habits of application and research
all combine TO qualify him for such station.
