BeingengrOssed il was accordingly read
third lime.
Mr.. Jos. J. Mcdowell moved the previous
question.
Mr.. Dromgoole inquired whether the word
unanimously was not in the resolution The
vote certainly had not thus far been unanimous
and probably would not be SO Gould not that
word be omitted by general consent?
Objections made--
Mr.. Graham stated that he was in favor of
the original resolution; b, now, as they stood
amended, he considered tbs last part of the last
amendment es containing direct censure up
on General Taylor. He was opp osed to CEN
surfing him, and therefore he moved to lay the
resolutions, as now amended, on the table.
The motion was lost.
Mr.. Stephens asked the question on the
resolutions could not now be divided, and a
separate vote taken on each of the resolution.
The Speaker decided it could not.
The previous question was seconded and
the main question ordered tobe put,viz. Shall
the resolution pass
The question was decided by yeas and nays
as follows: Yeas 1903 nays 90
So the resolution was passed.
The title of the resolution was then read,
viz. ga joint resolution of thanks to General
Taylor, his officers and n en- for storming the
city of Monterrey" when
Mr.. Cooke moved to amend the same bv
substituting the word 'censure" for the word
ssthanks."

OFFICIAL MIsMANAGEMENT.-The Cores
ponding Editor of the Buffalo Express writes
home from Washington, as follows:
81 mentioned day or two since, fragrant
piece ofcorruption, in depositing public money
in the Middletown Bank, IN Pennsylvania. 1t
is said this sum of money-oyer $45,0O0-was
deposited there for the purpose of getting an
advance to buy the Union for Richie and HESS
BY the Financial statements published to-day,
it appears that there the money lies idle, while
a few days since the nation was declared to De
within twenty -four hours of bankruPtcy-and
the people were asked to tax their tea ana col
fee to meet the emergency.
There is another piece of private cheating to
which will refer. | have always believed that
Loco Focoism would cheat the people when 1t
could, by suppressing information which the
people should have. Those who would sup
press this information would scarcely stop at any
thing.
Well / have got them on one point which
shall now state, and which has not yet come 10
the public eye. Among the documents sent IN
with the last annual message OF the 1resideut
was one from my old friend Gideon Wells, oil
Connecticut, who has been appointed, though
civilian, to the head of the Bureau oil provisions,
and clothing for the Navy. Gid, as we used
to call him in Connecticut. being green, or rain
er too much inclined to open dealing to suit 10
co focoism, stated the following facts
During the past year, 100000 barrels OF oread
in store, in house hold for the Pacific squadron'
were condemned as bad. 1t was sold tor ool-
lar and fifty cents per 100 lbs., which was less
than one half the value of the casks containing
it. 1t was afterwards found that more than one |,
half of this condemned bread was perfectly gooa
and it was purchased at six dollars per ioo NE

Gen. Taylor and the Polk Admin
iStratiOn.

lStratlOn.
The recent abortive attempt IN Congress, to
smuggle into theResolutions approving the con-
duct of Gen. Taylor as commander of the Uni
ted States Army in Mexico, clearly implied
censure upon his conduct at Monterey, places
beyond doubt the question, as to the petty and
yndctive malice, entertained and INDUCED in
by Mr.. Polk and his administration towards
Gen. IT That measure was obviously put forth
as feeler, and with the view of ascertaining
to what extent the administration would be
sustained by publick opinion, in case more
open and violent attack should be made upon
Gent. which Mr. Polk doubtless contemplated
Gen. Taylor's crime is, that he is Wing in
principle, as is almos every officer of the Ar
my and Navy, and tn in private letter to an
old friend and fellow officer he ventured to hint
his opinions and crit of the war, and of the
miserable manner in which it was conducted by
the administration.
This, according to Mr. Polk, was "affordng
aid and comfort to the enemy"-It was too much
for the pigmy souls Of Mr.. Polk and his parti-
zans to endure. 1t is nothing in the estimation
of such petty minds that his patriotism is of YES
tai purity. Neither his bravery as soldier
his energy, skill and prudence as General
his fidelity and obedience to orders as an officer,
or his integrity as a man c.an shield him from
the grovelling party malice of the administra-
tration. II matters not t,at he is gathering
laurels in the field of danger and of duty, and
winning golden opinions from his country
those laurels can no more adorn the brows Of

GFThe following comes to us anony mously.
1t seems to be an attempt at poetry, but the
author sticks altogether to close to truth.
For the Ypsilanti Sentinel.
HONESTY.
Honesty has fled from the world, and
Sincerity is fallen asleep,
Plety has hidden herself and
Justice cannot find the way.
The helper is not at home, and
Charity lies sick.
Benevolence is under arrest, and
Faith is nearly extinguished.
The virtues go begging and
truth has long since been buried.
Credit has turned crazy and
Conscience is nailed on the wall.

the projectors of the war than they can convince
the world of its justice, nor can those opinions
inure 10 the benefit of Mr.. Polk and his parti-
zans-and this in the estimation of such minds,
is sufficient reason fo- the mean and cowardly
attempt to which we alluded at the commence
ment of this article, te-tuffish the well-earned
fame, if they could not wholly destroy the charac
ter ofGen.T. But ifever viper paid dearly for try
ing his fangs on the file, Jimmy Polk has done
SO, for the coward ly aud assassin-like assault
on Gen. Taylor. The conduct of Mr.. Polk in
involving the country in this war,as well as in di-
recting the mode of its prosecution and the means
provided therefor, are matters that no sophistry
can disguise-no falsehoods conceal. That
the scrutiny and judgement ofthe public, on its
merits, and that judgement has already been
clearly indicated if not fully pronounced, and
although, if in the discharge of official duty it
may have fallen to the lot of Gen. Taylor,or any
other officer, to perform an unavoidable service
in bad cause, we trust the day will never
come, when the citizens, or the subordinate of
'fcers of the government, will be prohibited the
privilege of expressing their opinions on meas
ures that involve the fate or great concerns of
the republic: Or when in obedience to the
mandate of petty tyrant (whom accident has
clothed with authority, and who regards no
law but his own will every citizen and officer
of the republic shall wear a muzzle after the
manner of the OK that treads out the corn, as a
part of the National costume, and to shield from
scrutiny either the follies bunders of imbecil-
ity, or the usurpations of Tyranny.

The larceny seems to have been committed by

YPsILANTI. WEDNESDAY FEB H. ls47.
To the Editor of the .aIcertiser;


DEAR SR:-! give you below a short arti-
Gle which may interest many of your subscri-
oers who feel lively interest in all that per-
rains to our State, and, more especially, in our
railroads:
The Michigan Central Railroad appears to
work wonderfully well in the hands of the able
New Englanders, as the following figures from
a Boston financial article show:
'The earnings of the Michigan Central R.
Road in two months and six days, to Dec. LIST,
were 1850, or at the rate of S540,334 per
annum upon cost of ~ 100000"
What contrast to State management.
And s'what a contrast to the supposition
that nominally $4,000, 900 was all the Central
Railroad was worth. What contrast to
the representations made that the road would
not keepits in repair-could not be run long
er than last June-especially when we remem-
Der that since the Sale, repairs, except the most
absolutely necessary ones, have entirely ceased.
"What contrast" to the arguments used to
induce the people to consent to a sale, that the
tax of the road would be greater revenue than
the State could ever derive from it. The day
will yet come when the contrasts" will be
stranger.

| PESNsYLyANIA.--The message Of Governor
SKUNK was transmitted TO the Legislature on
Tuesday We copy from The Philadelphia u.
S. Gazette the following synopsis Of its con-
tents:
The total debt Of the state is $l0,TS9, 517 90.
II appears tina, with exertions the February
interest can be paid, but some new euactnents
are required 70 make the finances easier.
Governor SKUNK refers TO the apprehensions
which some people have, that The Central
Railroad will injufe the public works, aud ex-
presses his belief that il will assist IN augmen-
ting their tolls.
A steady increase Of the balance in favor Of
the Treasury is noticeable, aud VIII soon
amount TO a considerable sum.
The Governor recommends an alteration IN
the Constitution, SO rs 10 form permanent
and constantly Increasing Sinking lund Tor
the surplus revenue,
Some alteration Of the Tax Law is recon-
mended, to make il equalize It's operation.
We cannot tell exactly whether the mes
sage is for or against the Tariff of 1916; 1t is
evidently in favor OF the Sub, Treasury.
The system Of individual liability OF stock
holders Of Banks is approved.
The proceedings Of the Canal Board are
lauded, and il is added that for three years, not
a case of delalcation has occurred among their
agents.
II is recommended that Congress be asked
10 improve the navigation OF the Ohio.
The industry and care of the Auditor Gen
era, and State Treasurer, are praised.
Some further legislation IS required relative

by his colleague (Mr kIse) il was eminently

must protest against his speaking for him.
''Mr c. J. lSGERsoIL here rose (as did sew

mean TO speak er cothedga for Pennsylvania
"Mr GRovEn said he meant to speak &c.
caihedra for nobody; he had expressed his
hopes. He was not prepared to speak with
entire certainty, but he hoped thato this point
the whole North would be united. He did
not seek TO thrust himself between any Repre-
sentative and his constituents /; but he would
say that it the sentiment which prevailed uni
versally where he resided was true criterion
from which 10 judge, he believed that the Re

sorbed about one third. or this dividend the
patentees get $2700, which may be consider
ed the first practical result OF this great discev-
