upon me- through suspcion,by alleging guilt
OF crimiusy to have existed, mskes il proper that
should call upon you the head of the Department in
which am employed, to state whether am in any

which the robbery OF Treasury notes committed or

My feelings, in being thus reluctantly forced to this

THEFT OF cancelled treasury notes is received
The remarks to which you REFER calculated to

You have not been employ at all in that branch ofhs

In the base attacks made upon Harvey it seems
that young Blair" of the Washington Globe, was
put forward and prompted principally by the leading
clerks and officials now in office at Washington,
who are afraid to come out openly against the very
administration that feeds them, but assail covertly
all those who are its efficient supporters. We IN
derstand that Harvey is a capital writer-that he
corresponds with several papers throughout the
Union, and that he great thorn in the sides of
the ultra politicians Of the ocofoco school, In the
article from the "young jackass'' of the Globe.
Harvey was stated TO have written for the Herald.
This was not true, for we never heard Of his name
before this affair. The miserable attack of the
Globe was TO destroy the influence of his labors in
aiding the administration
IL is the smallest and most contemplate business
we ever heard of-and degrades the Globe beneath
all notice. We do not this out of any particular
friendship or esteem for Captain Tyler, tor we have
neither, nor does he any of the family deserve it
at our hands. Through the whole of the extra ses-
sion and part of the first session of the last Con-
gress, we organised a system of reporting, cores
pondence, &c, that cost us nearly $500 per week
all OF which was directed to the defence of his ad-
nlnstration against the assaults of the ultras of
both sides. We did this without asking any favor.
For this liberahty on our part, we have received
from the generous Captain the most mean and con-
temptibe returns-the most ignorant and imbece
requltal that ever made horse laugh.
We would advise Harvey, therefore, to profit by
thisexample. To take any trouble TO support this
administration, or 10 defend it energeticay from its
foes, only furnishes another chance for the exhb-
bitioa Of folly, absurdy, vacilaton and ingratitude
Captain Tyler and his brace OF SONS seem not to
have the discernment of oysters If they were
planted on the York Bank for season, they might
be 1T for opening next summer-but not before.
