possible. Not TO follow out The plan that has been
adopted by other administrations Of expending as
much possible upon Dock Yards and Navy Yards

DEAR Sir | take great pleasure in replying TO
your note of to-day, ecausc it affords the oppor-
,unity Of saying to you, and, through you, to the
public at large, that utterly protest against the
ports of both the National and the Globe
being taken either true correct sketches OF
what say in the House Of Representatives. For
the last two years they have not only perverted my
words, but thoughts-have Often most commonly
made me say what did not say, omitted what did
say, and made what they reported me to have said
tumble Of incoherent nonsense. would, as have
repeatedly told them, much prefer that they would
not report my remarks at all have great respect
for the reporters of both these papers and would not
be understood mputing to them intentional injus
tee but the fact is that they did, in time past
report me much more accurately; | believe that
am distinctly heard in the Hall as any member
in IT, or who ever was in it, and yet Of late
| am most wretchedly ,keiehed by these papers,
whilst reportir, at least, (Mr. Attire, Of
the New York Herald,) report as
well now as the Reporters Of the In,eIligencer
could enclose to you Mr.. Atree's report from the
Herald Of February Isl il is but ,ke'eh-purports
TO be nothing else, and yet you can see imperfect as
1t is that II is accuracy tself compared with the
port, Of the Intelgencer and the Globe of the same
speech. You will by it that did not name army
contracts" once. You will that where compared
the Navy, for its purity, TO lis purifying ngrcd
ent Of TAR, the lnelligcncer bad comparing it

parison OF the Navy TO other Departments,
10 the Indian Bureau TO the Land Offices,
and to the collectorshp,, more from wha, is known
to have occurred in thor past history than from any
thing now known TO exist in them; and was i'm
pressing the idea simply that it new thing to
arraign the Navy it has lately been for corruption
and if certain gentlemen desired run tilt at corrup-
ton they could find it any where else as soon as 10
the Navy Department | was in a word, mptng
to offend that Department only and did not mean to at.
tack the present administration Of the Indian bureau

alone happened TO mention With the desire that
you will publish this with your note TO me and Mr..
