vote of 81 10 90 10 tx day for adjournment. Not

nothing on Sunday and eight dollars for meeting 10
adjourn on Monday.

One of the queerest creatures in the world is a
Pennsylvania Loco. Foco. He votes for Free
Trade President who appoints Free Trade Secre-
tary OF the Treasury and then be turns round and
Justify abuses President Secretary, organ, and
thing and every body in favor of the principles for
which he voted and for which he stands ready TO
vote the very next opportunity, when party bids
| him abandon principles.
The fact mentioned by Mr.. Calhoun yesterday
! that the expense Of printing one single document
cost the country $4,000, startling piece OF infor
nation. This is the Report OF the Commissioner OF
| Patents. This document used 10 be OF great value
and had some pains bestowed upon H. IL condenslnS
useful information into small compass The present
Report appears 10 be got up solely for the benefit Of
the public printers.
About l,lo0 pages are wasted in copying little
paragraphs from ephemeral periodicals. Ii these
| articles had been taken and digested into some
hundred pages their substance might have been
worth publishing but in their present shape they
are shameful piece OF impotence. We might as
well tax the country $4,000 for republishing long
articles from the Union. II is poor way of com
piling public documents, TO use the scissors merely
but il is what We mus! expect from men appointed
for political services II the Patent Office is to be
| used for Matching such chickens, we might as well
| have il abolished. RIcEELIEU
