Hos. CSC. p MAgsH.-Ssys the Warrington
correspondent ofthe North Ame1cga
a statement has appeared IN several Whig pspers
alleging that the Administration - rcsponsnlc Tor the
vacancy IN the Congregational repr scntstion Of Yer
mont By the appointment OF Hon. g. T Marsh % Mo
lister % ConstantlnOpe. There i msappr henson
on this score Pryare circumstances hsd rcn dered
necessary for Mr March 70 retire In any n and
IL well understood that letter Of resi- nston had BEEN
prepared and about be issued 20 Dis constituents
whea this honor was conferred upon him By Gen
Taylor
Nj. Marsh was reelected. If we mistake not in
NoremJc last. on a second trial there being no
choice NJ the regular State Election. OF course,
the private circumstances, TO furnish valid ex
for his resignation, must have occurred stHce
that time. The writer Of the above means to be
understood As saying, ia the most d pomatir
terms, that Mr. Marsh threatened to resign hls
seat in case he should not be appointed 70 Mis-
sion. II such be the fact, insist that private
circumstances is quite too vague and unmesning
We call for Mr. Marsh intended letter Of resigns
tion HIS constituents and the entire Wing party
have a right 70 know what are the 'circum-
stances which oons,rain hin to vacAte his seat
at such a crisis IN the politics OF Vermont and o,
throw away nor to put at hazard in the next
House. Mr.. Marsh IS but one among very many
who are deeply interested IA his holding or
resening his seat, and we insist that the other
parties sre entitled 10 know what are the cir.
cumHsnces which impe him to resign before
qualifying, even though his services had not been
required IN another public station.
THE PuBtIc PRiSTISG.-One OF our Washing
ton correspondents volunteers his opinion
that the next Congress ought to launch out some
$4,000 T. pay the contractors for the Printing OF
the last Congress the amount they say they have
lost by dong that Pnntiug for cash down on the
terms proposed by them and accepted by former
Congress. Although We do not mean to make
practice OF specially indicating our dissent from
every erroneous notion of a correspondent that az
pears in our columns, we are glad OF 50 good ex-
cuse for saying that we hope no Member who
votes for such JOB will ever be reelected, mat,
ter by what party. Our correspondents susges-
ton that Congress should pay reasonably and
even literally for its work is such as We can IN
derstand only by supposins him IN some unclesn
way interested IN the job he is advocating. We
hold that Congress should pay Just prices for It's
work Of all Kinds, and that when capable expe-
rienced printers solicit the Congressional Printing
mt price named by themselves. that is the jus,
price, whether they make or lose by it. To vote
them an extra allowance is at once % smash the
Contract - stem into powder There Will he hats
full of bids to do the work for nothing aud even e.
pay a premium tor the chance, 1t a precedent of
paying extras at the close Of contract Is estab
hshed.
We have an eye on the maneGvers by which
selfish sohemers are hoping to break up the Cen
tract System for Printing and return TO the pay
ment OF double OF treble the preseSt prices. All
that is needed to deiest them is iearlessly hon
est squad of twenty five to thirty Members Of the
House to sustain the requisite calls for the Meas
and Nays We trust they will not be wanting
From OREGON CITY.-We have been favored
by ntKormLvS BATHS, Esq with the perussl OF an IN
terostiug letter from his sister resident in Oregon
City, dated Feb ~ She ssys that The discovery Of The
gold mines ia California has entirely changed the a.

She says the condition OF the people OF Oregon 20
suieT much from the emigration 10 California ss whole
families were departing tor the Mines. There Is
prospect OF the country being deserted aud dcpopu
lated in the Sprng OssO, and there fearful apprc
tensions OF Indian depredAiions. When the Indians
get run they frequently threaten TO cSerninsse the
whites and the sbsence OF the men enSolden them IN
these threats

for that country.
Most Of the people OF California are from the West,
