DR. COLLINS. FIRST AUDITOR.

As some excuse for the indiscrimlnate reno
walls for opinions sake made by the Cabinet at
Washington, and which are exciting the lndig-
nation Of the country, the Wing Press are urging
defalcatiou in some two or three officers thus re-
moved. Among those charged with misconduct
in the use Of the public money is DR.. Collins, the
first Auditor at Washington city The Rich
nond Times, having given circulation to these
CHARGES against Dr.. Collins, makes the following
o,nea1e honorable in it's COLUMNS of the End inst.
ave have seen, says the Times, a letter from
Dr. Collins to gentleman in this city. IN which
he entirely denies the truth of these charges, and
states that, as soon as he saw them i'll the papers,
he went to the Seeretary's to ascertain 1t any
such charges had been lodged against him ; that
the Secretary being out, he was informed by
the clerk, in whose care such papers are kept
that no such charges had been Sled, and he had
never heard of such and; finally, that in an in
terview with the Secretary himself, he was by
him assured that no such charges had been made,
and that he had not even seen the publication

Sympathy.

The Spectator, in lachrymosa strain, is en-
deavoring to excite sympathy for Gen. Taylor
because he has been charged with violation OF
his pledges made before the election. Finding
their structures upon the beauties OF prescription
have produced no effect, they are now trying
what virtae there is in tears-that is an argu-
ment women sometimes resort to, to conquer
refractory husband, but it was never resorted to
before to prop up the sinking cause OF Presl-
dent of the United States. For Taylor, the sol
der, every man entertains the most profound re-
spect-for Taylor, the Statesman there is very
different feeling, even among members OF the
Wing party, if their own papers are to be beilev-
ed Our neiehbors had better cork up their tears
and reserve them for some future oceaslon--they
had none to shed for a jackson, Polk, or any
other Democratic President, while Islander upon
SANDER was being heaped upon them BY the
Wing press--but now that Gen, Taylor is told
that he has violated his pledges, the Spectator
seeks to excite sympathy. The elections that
have taken place since the Inauguration shew
how sympathy is being felt

THE SLAVERY QUESTION,

Our readers will bear us evidence that we have
endeavored to present the slavery extension ques-
ton fairly and candidly: We have stated what
every person k,aems to be trae-that every wing
member of Congress from the free States. would
vote in favor of excluding slavery from the ter
ritories of the Union, and would exercise his ia
Tents and Influence TO effect sucha result We
know OF no whig paper i'll the free States that
does not stand uncompromisingly upon the plat
form of the non-exteu sion Of slavery. We know
of no whie that does not We now believe that
large portion of the democratic congressman
from the free states viii take the same position.
There are members from Indiana, Illinois, and
Michigan, who will go against freedom; while,
on the other hand, there are whig members from
slave States who will vote for it. Mr., Clay, we
i,alieve, will so will the two wing senators from
Delaware; and Mr.. Houston the representative
of that gallant State has always voted for it
There IS no doubt that general Taylor will afx
his signature to a bill containing the pro7lsoY
WE LooK UPON THE FURTHER EXTENSION OF
SLAVERY UPON THIS CONTINENT AS A MORAL I'M
POSSIBILITY!

tracts as these from Northern Wing papers, the

THE CASE OF MIR. DENBYs

Yesterday, says the Pennsylvania OF August
. before Justice Greer in the T. S. Court, some
interesting proceedings were had III regard to
the case of Mr.. DENLY, late Commercial agent OF
the United States at Mauseilles, ct whose al
legged lefaleation 80 much has been said by the
Federal press. Mr.. DENLY is is now In Moyas
mensing prison, and up to yesterday had refused
TO employ any counsel Several merchants OF
this CITY. however, convinced OF his innocence
took M his case for him, and an eminent Wing
B. Gerhard, Esq, volunteered to become his at
tornev. Mr.. Ashmeed, the U. S. District Attor-
new. a Whig or Native, admitted before the
Court that he did not believe Mr.. DENLY had
ever received a cent of the missing money, and
asserted his belief in his complete annocence.-
The fact Is now placed beyond doubt that Mr..
DENLY has been ruined by circumstances that
vould have crushed the purest man IN the world.
The revolution in France broke the house IN
France through which the house at Richmond,
in this country, transmitted the government
funds to Mr.. DENLY at Marseies, made its re-

blow and Mr.. DENLY fell with them. All who
know him represent him to be an honest; intel
lioent, conscientious and careful business man,
and as utterly broken down by this lamentable
circumstance.
What, however, will be thought of the organs
of an administration, which, III order to crafty
base party purpose, embark III the prosecutor
of a man, whose downfall was the result OF I'M
comfortable circumstances? Even those en-
ployed tc prosecute him cannot close their eyes

Ewing and COIEalR1er.

The New York Herald, an original Taylor
print pays its respects to these two heads OF de-
partments as follows.-When the bureau, at the
head of which Mr.. Ewing is now placed, was
organized, it was opposed by most of the Demo-
Gratis, as comforting a monster power upon one
man, but without effect, The prediction of its
opponents are destined to be aadly realized:
There has been a good deal of chicanery-of
subtle political intrigue-of nicely calculating
partizanship, in the Organization OF the new de-
partment Tor the federal government, which is
styled the Department of the Interior, over which
Mr. Ewing has been called to preside. This new
department--so it has been contrived, for what
particular purposes IS open to conJecture-en-
crosses vast proportion of the patronage OF the
federal government. In fact, all the other depart
ments have been made tributary to this new one,
which like Aaron's rod that budded, swallows
up all the rods of the rnagicians. The Gland
Office" with its extended dependencies and nu-
merous of13cials-the Treasury Department, ths
Navy Department, the legal department Of the
Executive government have all contributed to
swell the patronage and power of this new de-
partment at Washington. The De partment OF the
interior, as it is pompously designated, Isl indeed,
it would seem, a regular Delilah, by whose wick
ed agency the other departments have been shorn
of their strength. Now, to whose hands has the
management of this new department, with all
its tremendous influence, been confded 2 Why,
into the hands Of Mr.. Ewing, Of Ohio, one of the
most rabid and energetic Of the abolitionists Of
