Well, here we find, from the official report OF the
committee that investigated this subject last March,
that instead OF Mr. Levin's $40 "foreigners" in
office here they amount to only So American citizens.
OF nine different foreign nations After this, who
will believe any statement that such man may
make? 1t may do for him to make such in Southwark,

make them here, where their inaccuracy can be
charge either Of Ignorance or alsehood But in his
assault upon the "foregners," he forgot how things
stand in those offices with regard to Pennsylvania
reseniation, is entitled only to s. Offices. amounting
to $78, 800 Yet she actually has S. whose salaries
amount in the aggregate to to SIP ZIG, or q more
than she ought to have, drawing nearly as much
citizens in office here get. This, am forced to

diana! and you. Illinois, ana you, Arkansas Are
over your respective quotas Of 800 600 00o which
would be wanted the first year that we should be en-
gagged in a fight with England?
1know there are none more brave or patriotic than
our western men in an emergency Of this sort, and
i safiords me great pleasure to hear them on the
Of Oregon or none" Yet, they must know, too,
maintain warlike position, their regular
proportion Of which they will be called upon to
contribute, SO soon as the struggle begins. THIS
