WIDEST KIND OF CONSTRUCTION.
Last week Mir Talmadge who had mol oeen
spoken Of for The office, was appointed Malshai
of New York, and he New York Express in-
dulsed in some severe comments COPIED ana
endorsed by In, Whig) upon the inexcusaole
neglect of the Cabinet in passing over the work
ing Wings &c. Mr. Ewing comes back upon
the Express, and publishes several letters OF re-
commentator, among them one from Mr.
Brooks. Editor OF the Express, and a Member Of
Congress, in which Mr.. Brooks says that Mr..
Talmadge would fill "with fidelity 10 The Govern
ment. and honor 10 himself, any post here in our
civ, New York; which the (Home) Depart
men, NAV see fl 10 give him." This, II would
seem. would be a knock.down argument. Bn, the
wiIy and selt.complacen, Editor OF the Express
goes into long explanation, without commenting
upon ''the propfiely or Improperly OF an Hon.
Secrelary's allowing his files 10 be ransacked, 10
order 10 obtain what has been hitherto qnaA
pfiyale letters Tor publication" he says that II
was notorious 10 Mr. Ewing that four members
| OF Congress from New York City had specifcal-
" recommended another Tor he important post
OF Marshal, and that, therefore, Mr.. Brooks
did nm recommend Mr.. Talmadge for that office.
He says further, that The phrase any post" is "a
general Ieller Of recommendation as 10 charac.
ter, noning more"-and it meant "some filling
post" "such a we do not think, AMI the Wings
ot The city do not think, Mr. Talmadse was enli.
tied 10 when he receives the Marshacy"
The Express then goes on 10 enforce lis former
! argument, that hundreds OF working Wings
nave been passed by 10 give This valuable eff e
! 10 gentleman, "iof whose nomination 10 such
