We Wings and good men OF all parties have

the corrupii0n>, vetoes and mal-administra-
ton ol dii1Irs at Washington should b. ar
rested.
Although | have been in the service OF the
United States q period. putting all the time
together, OF almost forty wears, and a part of
that time a discussing officer and a clerk in
the public departments at Washington, | was
not aware, until the disclosures OF the last
Congress, that an officer whose salary and al
low anees were regulated by law, could be
made, (by the layuritism and curruPtions OF
the Executive } to receive Jto6 times the a.
mount OF what the law allowed. Ii such
practices are tolerated there is no use ui Con-
gr-ss l~egislaurg on the subject OF salaries in
any case. ]. seems the President can at any
time unlock The treasury and give 10 his la
vorltes in office, under the gulse o. construc-
tive journeys, services. &e., allowances, any
amount he pleases. This should be arrested,
forthwith, b. the new Congress; and By pos
tive enactment nut 1t out oil the power OF
any future President to dbuse his rus; IN any
such manner. Since the elevation OF General
Jackson, some extra ordinsrY cases OF similar
frauds on the treasury have fallen under my
notice. 1t is undoubtedly the duty OF all no.
nest men to unite in putting a stop to such a
dissrdcelul, demoralizing state OF things; and
this can only be done, in nv humble opinion,
by the election OF Gen. TAYLOR 10 the Presi-
deucy.
| could say much upon this subjec; for
during my long life OF a years, / have had
much experience. Good government i a.
mong the first and best blessings to man
kind and good governmentnever caa be main
tanned unless conidsd TO the bands oil honest
and capable men. Ii the people would al
ways remember this, their nights and lib.rties
would be perpetual. Gen. Taylor in chdrac-
ter bears the closest resemblance to thesgreat
WAsalNGToN, OF any one who has appeared
on the public stage among US Turing the pre-
sent century. II elected, do conscienti1usly
believe he will give the people satisfaction.
| further believe. that IN the Providence of
God, he has been raised up for great good to
our common country. | therefore Call upon

ago. appeared among the Indians OF my charge
in Ohio and Indiana, aud when it became
my duty to cooperate with them in their la
