Mr. PoLx's ADMINISTRATION AND THE " Srons"
We have received from the Navy Department at
Washington, the following note, with an advertise

am, respectfully, yours,
! The Publishers of the Nes York Herald
riease copy the advertisement with the addition ex.
tending the time, sc.
There is no person connected with the admins
tratio OF Mr. Polk, for whom we have such sincere
regar as George Bancroft. He is man Of unsul-
he'd honor, OF the highest order of genius and one
W lose reputation erudite and philosophic his
to rian, will long outlive and survive any adminisra
ii ,n or any party with which he may happen to be
&C INJECTED. But We cannot insert the advertisement
closed byhim when another department of the gov
nment has so little and propriety as to violate
law OF Congress in relation to its advertising When
we come TO give full history of this business of
the Pos, Office advertising in this city, we will show
that the administration of Mr. Polk has been sane
tiordng, to most dangerous extent, the abolition
movement in the North, whilst the Postmaster Ge-
ner ii, with ludcrous ahectaon Of patriotism, has
the insolence TO aver that that very act was pro-
du.ed by his anxiety to curail it in little town in
Kentucky
We wish well to Mr.. Folks administration. We
rather like Mr. Polk. We have greater liking to
such man as Mr.. Bancroft. But we cannot adver
tlse their notices until they correct their conduct in
the other instance-and therefore constrained,
by OF propriety to debar them from the use
Of the great circulation of the Herald With the
IS spolls,' which we thus unceremoniously reject,
hey may do what they please. We doubt not they
will find plenty of contemplate little creatures to
take them, for we see, in this very advertisement,
that the regular spoils devourers of this cty-the
Ne,cs, Post, and Journal Of Commerce, are directed
TO copy it, Let them do so. They need the dollars
more than does the Nep York Herald
