Now, how will this lbeler blush when he comes TO

letter has not been received and answered. Was the
fault of the post Office, of that miserable petty economy
which induced General Taylor to refuse taking all his

To the Editor of tie Union :

The public interest requires that something should be
speedily done to enable the worthy Second Auditor of the
Treasury to pay off the American troops whohave served
in Mexico.
Every officer and soldier, living or dead, has to be
settled with for his back pay, mileage, &c, and also for
the three months extra pay granted by Congress under
the act approved July 10, 1913. To do the first part will
require additional force of twenty clerks and to pay
the extra pay will require ten more; and yet, with
100000 accounts to be opened and closed addition
to $4,000 200 old accounts not yet closed the wing
House of Representatives have cut down the Auditor s
present force clerks.
Let the poor soldier, who will by this reduction have
to wait twelve months for hisback pay understand that
it is the penny wise and pound foolish action of the
present wing representation in Congress that causes his
just claim to be deferred until his exhausted patience and
pressing wants require him to sell his claim for
song The Senate have now the opportunity to rectify
the of the House, and trust that that body will
give the Second Auditors Office thirty more clerks in
stead of reducing the insufficient force now by law
allowed 1t would be better for the soldier to have the
clerks paid out of their pay-which, at $3oOo,ooo extra
pay, would be but per cent, or $3000O-than to be
thus delayed and neglected hope the Senate will look
to this, and do justice to the poor soldier: -

GENTLEMEN; As compliance with your request would
imply my appreciation of the proposed respecting
the nomination OF Mr. Van Buren,, avail myself of this
opportunity strong disapprobation of any
departure from the long established principle of the deo
cratic party convention Of delegates, selected by the
people for the purpose of designating candidates for the
offices of government long experience has demonstrated
be the practical and successful mode of asceranng
the popular sentiment and of impartng energy well
preserving harmony in its expression rigid adherence
TO this has enabled the democratic party triumph
in the administration OF the general government with hard
y exception, from its first establishment down to the
presen, time and where is the patriot who does not exu
in the prosperity and glory which has crowned beloved
country under the auspices of an almost uninterrupted
democratic rule "Princips and men" has been and
ever should be, the guiding and guarding spirit of the demo
cratic party and So trust, IL will continue to be- have
yet the democrat of Berkshire who prepared
renounce abrogate this almost sacred principle of adhe
renee to REGULAR NOMINATIONS.
You see, therefore, gentlemen, cannot wish you God
speed in your efforts divide brethren of the family
and if successful in your unhalowed enterprise you may
expect the indignant spirit of Washington will frown
this first ALLEVIATE portion of country
from the other, and thus endanger glorious Union,
blessed to ourselves and so blessing to the world.
