The whig Mauager.cenerai.

We have had occasion several times 10 advert to the bare-faced impotence and insidious schemes oi one T:umsn Smith, of Connecticut, with regard to the recent State elections. Insensible to shame, utterly regardless of the veness of his plots or the prohigate character of his tools, and witha, making his advances with the apparen, soncton and nPpro- boton cf ths cabinet. This political pmP has openly and in the most wauton manner endeavored to inter- lere with the elections. He has, the lawyers say, "ins'igated by the devi" by force of "purse and scrip" and promises of patronage from the cabinet in general, and the Hone department in particular attempted to cheat the sober and sensible majority of several of the States out of their legitimate strength at the polls.
 Happily for the country and for the reputation oi our citizens, so open and insolent have heen his attempts at ' bribery and corruption i" that his em- pioyment and employers have both been detected and his advances indignantly sepelled, nothing daun- ted however by the stnging rebukes that have been already given to him, we find him again returning to renew his operations in another field, with his means replenished from the secret stores of the Home Department. the work-house ofwhig iniqui- ties he has been sent as the elnissary of corruption among the good citizens of Maryland. But il the descendants of those who composed " the Maryland line have not altogether deserted the faith of their fathers. notwithstanding his pamphlets and promises and his assurance ot :" the ready" fresh from the Rough and Ready" mint. the notorious and wooden nut megs of this Connecticut office oker, will only call down upon the Taylor cabinet the indignation and contempt of the stauBch democracy of the city of monuments, and insure to the people majority of republicans in the approaching Congress.
 In the midst of this octagonai administration much praise was showered upon the head of this same offcious Senator for his disnterestedness In rejecting prefers of office. The reason for this seeming purity are now apparent in the fact that his employment as agent. to do the dirty work of the nine pullers at Washington. is far more profta- ble to him than any of the offices rendered by the iu our rulers continue to be toIeratedf We have surely reached the lowest point of political degene- rscy and disgrace, when it is permitted to the heads Of departments thus 10 hre agents to iamper with the elective franchise. of the people We have yet sufficient confidence In the good sense. in "the so. Der second thought" of our citzeus to feel assured that these practices need only 10 be made known, and they will receive at the ballot box severe. scOrnfu rebuke. The people may for time be de- ceived by the brilliant promises of ambitious par zans but wben facts given to them, their judg. ment Is ever on the side of truth and justice.
