WI NSMOAAe
Almost every day brings TO light some ad
dftional evidence Of the insatiale cupid;ty,
and shameless corruption which Tyter's
tfeachery, ambition and imbecility have
generated and ditfused throughout every
branch of The public service.
Washington letter writers affirm that
system has been in operation for months, by
which persons have obtained Office for others,
with an understanding that they were 10 re.
ceve for their services considerable sum
of money, or certain per cenIage on their
salaries.
Those who have succeeded in feHetng
out these treacheTous, profigate and iniqu-
tous operations, make full disclosure OF the
systematic plan of operations pursued by
chose political harpies, and hangersOn of the
au ninsra'iOn.
The Washington correspondent of the
United States Gazette says, they carry on
their Operations in this wise:-
"a Tyler Mass Meeting is advertised TO
be held in a populous town, where, although
there are not h2lf dozen Tylerites in the
place, yet a considerable collection will ga
Their out of curiosity, particularly if II is
Court week, or Races, or some other exci-
ting cause is brought to ITS aid. A violent
TYLER speech or two arc made--a preamble
and resolutions, filled With fulsome laudatiOn
Of the President, are passed. and the most
adroil manager is dispatched 10 Washington
wi h the proceedings of the meeting.
Having BY his and other s., plans Obtain
ed the confidence Of the President, ti.en
commences the money making part Of he
game, TO The injury Of The people and the So
Crice.Of the Presidents pOpuIarity-it he
had any.
Notice is circulated either privately or
publicly as suits best. that Mr.. - has
powerful influence at Washington, and
forthwith the cute Office seekers apply to
him for his aid to obtain them Post Office.
Custom House Office, or even a Tide Waiter
or Light House keeper.
IfRO money or not enough, accompanies
the application, this hopeful adoiscr of the
| President locks il up in his desk for month
or so, until more is sent, or some other ap-
plcant bids higher. But if a hundred dol
lar note or SO, accompanies the application,
il is fdporably considered; he waits few
days until several such douccrs accumulate
on hand and then he starts for Washington
tells the President such appointments will
materially aid his reelection, &c, and thus
readily succeeds in filing his pockets This
is no fancy sketch, for recent startling de-
velopments have been revealed which have
IcXpusedsome persons, hitherto OF high stand
lag and themselves holding highly response
BILE offices under the General Government,
residing nut a hundred miles from PhiIa-
delphia. But you will probably soon hear
IL. -. a.. =
cry Of the peoples rights This recent ex-
posufe will readily account for there having
been a much less number of removals than
was expected The FIRST week in MAY. Ger
tain individuals, hitherto secretly active in
this foul business, will not soon show them
selves here.
\ Another curious development in which
Mr. John Jones Of the Madisonian figures
largely, caps the climax of effrontery and
corruption. Mr.. Jones recently issued a
circular addressed TO the posimasters thro'.
out the country, in which he invokes them
to come 10 the aid of John Tyler, by procn.
ring subscriptions to the Madisonian. ale
tells the poslmasiers that they must send
! him fifty dollars worth of subscriptions. and
as there are some pressing demands hang
ing over him, they will oblige him very much
by RENTING twenty dollars Immediately and
reimburse themselves with !he money thev
receive from subscribers"
Thus does Jones, low and unprincipled
parasite Of John TyleF's, levy Black Mail''
with impunity, and the Office holders dare
not resist his rapacions exaclions under be
nalty Of the Presidents displeasnre, and The
consequent loss of their situations. TIA,
Mr.. Tyler is aware Of bis ioady Jones, do.
ings in this matter, and winks at,hem. there
can be no doubt, he is therefore fairly emil.
lied to full share Of The infamv and con.
tempt which must necessarily attach % such
a course Of proceedings.
During Mr.. Tyler's brief administration he
has perseveringly thwarted the wings IN ey.
cry prominent measure which they brough,
forward for the relief Of the country. and
we can scarcely point 10 a single &C. Of his

and honor OF his country at heart can cordi.
ally approve; yet for one thing we do mosl
. warmly and fervently thank him--ue thank
him for cutting loose from the great wliip
