MAcKENzIE's PAMPHLET.

Fifty thousand copies of the Pamphlet just pub
lished at New York in the name of VIM. i. Mac
KENzrE are said to have been sold within the last
week proof certainly Of the rayenous appetite
with which the Public feeds on such food We
have ourselves run our eye hastily over it and
though it certainly contains matter sufficiently pr
quaint, there is nothing in it which changes our
opinion Of the morals of the Tammany school of
politicians, which, from our own knowledge OF It's
character and objects, we have constantly warred
against for nearly twenty years that is, since
its corruptng principles first gained footing in the
General Government. But as in all this time have
never suffered ourselves to make use, in selfde-
fence, of papers in our own hands which came into
our possession under the seal Of private correspon-
dence, must, on the same principle still decline
giving currency TO those letters which can have seen
the light only through breach of trust to say the
least of it. and concerning which it appears, by the
following paragraph, charge Of absolute robbery is
at present under investigation by the civil authority
Of the city of New York:
FRIDAY EVENING.
The MACKENZIE LErrERs.-The examination of wit
has been going this morning before the Police
order to learn than is yet known the in
which Mr. MACKENZIE in possession of the letters he
has published Among the witnesses examined to-day
M L. DAVIS. He that he did not know MACKENZIE
personally and had nothing do with the publication Ru
says that ex-Colector VAN NESS and Mr.. BooARDus
were to be examined
Mr.. Horr has made complaint that the papers
len and charges the larceny upon somebody Who
to bear the accusation does not yet appear The investigation
is before the Chief Of Police who occupied with the
yesterday great number Of the Custom house officers
called to testify but the yet under invest
cation, cannot tell how it will eventuate
Mr.. MACKENZIE, in letter to the Tribune, ex-
onerates Mr.. VAN Ness, Mr.. BooARDUs, the two
Messrs TYLER, and indeed every body else, from
having any part or lot in obtaining the letters of
Mr.. HoYT composing his book, or in its publica-
tion-the entire honor of which achievement Mr.
MACKENZIE claims for himself He further says that
he is to realize pecuniary benefit from the publ
cation, and claims to have acted perfectly right in
obtaining the letters in the manner he did, and in
spreading them before the world that his motives
were purely patriotic; and, had money been his
object, he has sense enough to know that he could
have made more by the black MALI operation
than by the publication.

The PoTATo-RoT, Of which SO much complaint
has been made in this country, has, we are told by
our European correspondent made its appearance
In France. A Professor of Agriculture and Rural
Economy in the University Of Liege, CHARLES
MoRREN, ascribes. the disease to parasite mush-
room, extremely thin and prolific. He particularly
describes it, after having closely studied the whole
action>of this botrydis. The French Government,
has taken measures for proper investigation Of
the evil
Mr.. WILLIAM CAMMAcK, very skilfnl and sue
cessful horculturist of this District anticipated the
French savan in this discovery, and mentioned to
us, nearly year since, that he was convinced the
disease arose from parastical plant the roots Of
which penetrated the potato and caused the mischief
complained of. Evidences Of the existence of this
parasitcal destroyer may be perceived by any one
who examines diseased potato after it has been
cooked.
