or relief such assistance as may be adapte. to
their condition and necessities, and as ii may be

ExkCu1tvE NOMINATIONS AND pt,BT.
MASTER TO THE HOUSE or REPRE-.
SENTATIvES.
The Boston Daily Advertiser of December 30
contains the following leading editorial upon these
subjects. Everything emanatng from that source
carries with it the force of character, justly be-
longing to press conducted on the sound and
elevated principles, as well as prudent and sig
nally acceptable course, by which this is signal
lied. We particularly call the attention Of men,
bers Of the House to the article, as it relates to
subject in which they will this day be called upon
to act:
WAsHINGToN.-The nominations of the Secre-
taries of War and Navy are still in the hands of
the Senate, and it is not improbable that they
will be retained for some time for deliberate con-
sideration. We do not think it worth while to
print the many speculations from different quar-
ters upon this subject, but are induced to believe
that although each will of course meet with some
objections. they will both be confirmed.
1t will be seen that an attempt has been made
in the House to appoint day specially on which
an election for postmaster for the House of Re-
representatives. should be held. Mr.. Mccormick
IS the only officer of the House still remaining Of
those holding over from the last Congress He
has satisfactorily discharged its duties for eigh-
teen consecutive years; but honesty strict fdel-
ity to his trusts, and disposition always to rem
der himself useful and accommodating in his
sphere of operation, will probably be all ineffi-
clent recommendation to the majority, while so
many hungry paftisans are crying out for the
"spoils.''

THE BALTIMORE PATRIOT AND OUR
-a bhgus SELVES rsHsgt1 M ~

We said some days ago that we had used an
expression as applicable to the Patriot, which
was too harsh. If the Patriot will accept that as
an amende honorable, and we feel that much to
be due to it, very well, and let us say no more
about it. We like the Patriot and it's editor too
well to quarrel with it, though we were BETRAYED
into the use of harsh expression. AS to it's
correspondent, we have not the pleasure of know
ing him even by sight, and had no wish to do him
an injury. We thought he erred in noticing SO
many idle rumors. and said what we did /; others,
members of Congress, too. had expressed the
same sentiment. But let that pass. If we are
TO be friends, here is our o.; if not. here is
our t; take which you choose. 9

wHIGGERY ANDIrs CHANGED ASPECT
In REGARD TO THE RIGHT OF PETI-
TION.
Our Congressional columns for the last week
or two have exhibited the votes of the Federal
party, for the most part, constantly arrayed with
those of Messrs Giddings and Adams on qnes-
tons touching abolition petitions. An exchange
paper gives the following fact by way Of contrast
"WH1GIsM AND THE RIGHT OF PETITION. In
the last Congress there was Wing majority
nearly as large the Democratic majority in the
present House. But every petition, memorial, or
paper relating TO the subject OF slavery, was re-
fused reception" ea stt 944 H
So, the Globe man is driven to the desperate
resort Of trying to make little capital out Of the
changed aspect of Locofocoism in regard to the
right Of petition. Have the Wings changed on this
subject Not at all: not vote Of theirs has been
changed AS party they have always advocated
the right Of petition, and the great majority of the
members belonging toit inboth Houses of Congress
have sustained it by their votes. A few from the
South, owing to the misconception of the people
of that section, and their confoundng the right Of
petition with abolitionisnl, have heretofore voted
against the reception of certain kind of petit
tons while, at the same time, the Locofoces
from the South and the North have uniformly,
until this session, opposed the reception Of petit
tons coming within the odions 2lst rule-a rule
of their own making. Public opinion has at
length become too strong for them and they have
been compelled to give way to it, for which act,
however, no credit is due to them. They could
not help it.

Mr.. Editor : In your paper of the 1st instant,
it is stated, in reference to the admission of the
unfortunate female who was so brutal,y injured
to the Asylum for the Poor, that YOU = are in
formed BY respectable citizen that there was
not in the establishment even a suficiencv Of
bandages, nor particle Of apparatus Of anv kind
necessary to afford relief to the unfortunate suf
ierer." AS this is an imputation which falls en-
tirely upon the medical branch Of that instit,,-
tlsn, the Physician to the Asylum wishes simply
to state, that there were, on the night in cues
ton, twenty-five yards Of cotton for bandapes in
the establishment, which were at the command
OF those BY whom the sufferer was attended;
and, at the SINE time, a double-inclined plane,
y many used-by some preferred, for fractures
Of the thigh, and also two spInts, Ia long and
short one) which are more commonly used in
fractures Of that description. 69
Lie Physician to the Asylum has therefore
only to pronounce the statement of the Arespect-
able citizen, !" your informant, as utterly false
We have received the above communication
from the Physician to the Washington Asylum,
q reference 70 the case referred TO in our paper
Of last Monday, and as an evidence Of our dispo-
sition to do him justice, we insert it in answer.
But notwithstanding the Doctor statement we
can assure him that our article on the subject
was materially true and it may be SO, too, with
out impeaching, in any manner, his statement.
II IS true, that when the necessary apparatus
was asked for by the philanthropic gentlemen
who volunteered to assist the poor woman in her
sufferings, they were informed by the latendant
OF the Asylum, that there ,oas nothing e The kind
~ The house, except a small spint, applicable 10
some other fracture, which was shown them.
Nothing like the double inclined plane" the
Doctor speaks Of was produced As 10 the band
ages: it is true there was a roll of cotton given
them; but as to its f'ness for the purpose de-
signed, il is matter Of opinion. The Doctor,
therefore, in pronouncing the part Of the article
ne seems to have selected for himself as utterly
false" may, upon inquiry, find it otherwise.
Proper apparatus was obtained elsetohere, and
applied. and the sufferer made as comfortable
as circumstances would admit. We state, in
conclusion, that we have no disposition whatever
to misrepresent any one, much less the Doctor
or thNlntendant; but we can assure them both,
that the whole circumstances reflect no credit.
to say the least, upon the establishment or the
CITY, We said that the case deserved inyestiga-
ton, and we now repeat it.
