PRESCRIPTION IN THE NEW YORK
CUSTOM HOUSE.

corrupt bargain having been contaminated
between the acting President and The Lccofocos,
It was to be expected that means would be resort.
ed to- IN order to accomplish the election of Mr..
Polk, OF par with the dishonorabe and infamous
transaction. 1t will be seen by the following
statement, from the New York Republic, that a
system of prescription has been begun ia that
city. of the most nefarious character-the victims
not being alone the saaried officers of the custom
house, but the poor carmen are made to feel the
IRON hand OF Executive oppression What must
honest men of all parties think of an administra-
ton which descends to the beggarly meanness of
nqulring into the political biasses Of the common
laborers in its employ ?-men whose opinions,
whatever they be, cannot possibly have the least
effect upon the faithful discharge of their duties.
To prescribe them, therefore, for the most ultra
hostility to the administration, can only be done
IN spirit OF petty, scurvy meanness, such as
might be expected from renegade accidental
President in alliance with the politicians of the
Five Points. And yet, good reader, the party
which practices this infamous, cruel prescription
OF the poor carmen, processes to reverence the
political maxims of Mr.. Jefferson, whose rule it
was never to make any other inquiry of the appli-
cant for office than " is he honest, capable, and
faithful Z" The Republic says:
We understand that Mr.. Bogardus, the assis-
tant collector, has issued an order authorizing the
inspector or dscbarging officer of ship, TO en-
ptoy The carmen By aohom that duty is 10 be per-
formed. Hitherto, the merchants, as matter of
course, have employed their own carmen-men
whom they could trust-men familiar with the
course of business, trained to it, and who could
be depended upon. In this way several hundred
carmen have been for years in the employment of
our shipping merchants and have been exclusive
ly devoted to this particular course of business.
1t is their livelihood. They have obtained re-
gular occupation, and have looked to it as the
means of supporting their families as long as they
should continue to give satisfaction to their en-
poyers. The merchants are best qualified, of
course, to manage this business for themselves
they have right to manage it, as muck as any
other branch or department of their trade--as
much right to select their own carmen as their
own clerks, or their own captains and Govern
ment has no right to interfere with them"
