How THE MONEY GoEs.-We clip the fol-
lowing paragraph from the New York Ex-
press:
Senator A. P. Bagby's nomination to the
Court of Russia, or as.it is here desgna ted,
'the court of honorable exile" has been con-
firmed by the Senate. Mr.. Ingersoll, his pre-
decessor, recalled at his own request, has been
IN Russia about year, aud received for this,
as outfit, 5000; Unfit, $2250; Office rent and
extras, 81 900, and, say "a years salary, $4,000
total, S22, $50, nearly equal to the salary OF
the President of the United States. And put
ting to this Mr.. Bagby' outfit, SO 900, we have
an expenditure of S3l $50 for the Russian mis-
sion in about year, Now take the Mexican
mission outfit to Messrs. Clifford and SEWER,
900; salary and extras for three months,
say $1,000; Unfit toSevier, s.. 250-total, S27,-
$50. Thus we have, tor fifteen months diplo-
matte service, grand total of S49, 800, exclu-
sive of the salaries of secretaries of legation.
Mr.. Bagby has had, in addition, the good luck
to procure place for one of his sons at West
Point.

CAss ON IMPRovEMENrs.-Ou Indiana loco
focos are growing desperate at the prospect be-
fore them, and have turned out 10 hard lying to
the people in their speeches, Unless the peo-
pie are gulled and deceived in some way they
know there is no possible chance for Cass to
succeed, and they will stopat nothing.to secure
success. Among other misrepresentation of
the position assumed by the locofoco candi-
date for the Presidency, we heard fall from the
speakers in the State House square last Satur-
day, says the State Journal. there were none
more pal pable than the assertion that General
Cass was in favor of internal improvement by
the general government. We all know that
until he set his eye on the Presidency, he had
voted with the wings in Congress for appro-
priatlons to these Improvements. Had he
done less he would have been turned out of
that body by his constituents But what Cass
has been is not to satisfy the freemen of the
west. We have heard of his selling himself
to the South for the Presidency on this ques-
ton as well as on that of slavery extension
"Haye you done it. Gen. Cass?" was the ques-
ton propounded to him by his friend Judge
Wood, of Cleveland. s.Sir, the noise and con-
fusion which pervades this assembly will pre-
vent my being heard on the important topics to
which you have called my attention." was the
only response. He referred his friend Wood to
the letter in which he accepts the nomination
of his party, and pledges himself to the issues
and principles inculcated in the resolutions
adopted by the Convention. Here is where we
will nail Mr.. Cass on the subject of improve
ment by the general government. 1t will not
be denied that it was under general system
of improvement" that our rivers had been clear
ed out, and our harbors made and repaired along
the shores four lakes. Here is the resolution
adopted by the Baltimore Convention on thi.
subject, which Mr.. Cass accepts without reser
vation, and as embodying his own principles:
2. That the constitution does not confer up
on the general government the power to com
mence and carry on general system of inter
nal Improvements.
Let the reader now turn to the letter of &C
ceptance of Gen. Cass, where he says, 81 hav,
read the resolutions of the Democratic Nation
al Convention, laying down the platform of on
political faith, AND ADHERE TO THEM AS FIRM
f LY As APPROVE OF THEM CORDIALLY" VIVA

This is triple pay for actual service, and du-
plicate extra pay to the amount of SIXTY
THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS!
There were other benefits than this received.
During the time that Gen. Cass was Governor
of the Michigan Territory, he received his reg
ular salary, always liberal-even munifcent
for the amount of service performed. Nor was
this all, for the position of Gov. Cass ena bled
him to become rich and Spectator in the pub
lie domain. and he located his lots almost in
the heart of the present great city of Detroit
The Government has made him rich, and in
manner, it would seem, not always in ac-
cordance with principles Of strict equity and
many will doubt, even if it be strictly just.

The BARNBURNER CoNvENTIoN.--At the
State Convention of the Barnburners, held last
February John Van Buren, and Gen. Gould We're
on committee which reported the following
resolution
"Resolved, That Gen. Gen. ZACHARY TAYLOR
by his mastery correspondence with the War
Depa rtment, no less than by his heroic con-
duct and indomitable GOODNESS and courage on
the field of battle, has shown himself to be
not only distinguished military chieftafn,
but man of great mental and moral power,
and whose life has given evid nee OF strong
head an honest heart, and republican sim
plicity of character"
The Rochester Democrat very significantly
says:
Some people have been little curious tc
know why Mr.. V. B. voted for such resolu-
ton in February, when in June following he
spoke of Gen. 7. in his speeches in the mos
desparagng terms. In February Prince JOIN
expected TO support Gen. Taylor; in June he
made up his mind to get the nomination for
his father!

The VAN buren, MEET4NG.-The Cincinnati
Signal, the Democratic Barnburner organ in
Cincinnati, gives the following account of the
Van Buren, meeting recently held in that city
1t will be seen that it was almost en- lirely COM
posed of Democrats. Cass stands no earthly
chance of getting the vote ofOhio.
The Ratification meeting on Saturday even
ing, was glorious outpouring OF the Demo-
cratic masses. Thousands upon thousands
were there, and more enthusiastic, yet order
ly assembly, WI have never seen. 1t was the
largest public meeting that has been held in
Cincinnati for many years, and the repeated
and deafening cheers for our noble and stand
ard bearer, Martin Van Buren,. eyinced the
hold which he has upon the People.
One thing was noticeable about the meeting.

have been straight-laced Democra IS heretofore
more than half are young men under thirty
years of age. Young America is with us. We

The members well rebuked those miserable
Ohio dough-faces at Washington, who say that
Van Buren, will not get one hundred Demo
Graf votes in Ohio. The ldes of Novem-
Der will teach them alesson they will not soon
forget.

He is good and true Wing, but he will pro-
scribe no man for difference of opinion He
hates, loathes prescription. He loves the free,
Independent utterance of opinion. He has
commanded Wings and Democrats on the field
of battle-has witnessed their patriotic devo-
ton, and invisible courage, while standing
together, shoulder to shoulder-has seen them
fight, bleed, and die together, and God forbid
he should prescribe any man on account of q
difference of political sentiments. He would
as soon think, said the speaker, of running
from a Mexican!
