DANGER ueS
DUpLIclTY OF PoLITIcIANs.-We have often been
called upon to notice the dupicity, treachery. and
meanness of offce-begging politicians, ofboth par
ties and all parties. There is no difference between
the political parties, so far as the spoils are con-
cemed Human nature is equally disgraced in the
persons of ofiice-beggng wings and ofice-begging
democrats. Our readers viii recollect what an ex-
plosion followed The appointment of Mr.. Tallmadge
az Marshal of this district, amongst certain wing
cliaues. The noise about town was tremendous !;
and the Express, in an article which we noticed at
the time, became quite rebellious and nsurrectlon-
airy. That journal issued terrible pronunciamento
against the administration, account of this ap-
ponment. Among other peevlsh and acid things,
the Express said -
"The first thing that strikes an old working whig
here in looking these appointments, Is, with
exception the utter inattentien of the cabinet officers
who have advised these appointments, not only to the
wants and wishes of the working wings of the city, but
their neglect of the wings who, for ten
years past have done the work here in New York. in
fair weather and in foul who, when the wing party
the lowe state of depression have freely given
not only their labor. but their The gentlemen
who have drawn the lucky prizes are certainly repec-
able against whom, personally. not word Is to be
raid do mean to clamor against their appoint.
ments but what mean to say is, they did not and
do not Represent cmbody the whg feeling and wing
impulses of New DIRK, or in any degree strengthen
the wing party the administration as subsequent
election will pow eruly tell If the administration does
not listen to the popular impulses of such metropolis
this-impulses that not only powerfully felt
ton or combination stretch far and wide elsewhere.
AS a curious commentary on this exceedingly
little denunciation, find in the National IVhtg,
of Washington, the following letter, which is, we
believe, a correct copy Of the original:-
New York, April o. 1Sao.
To the Hon. THOMAS EWING,
Secretary Of the Interior
SR:-lt gives great pleasure to say that Henry f.
Talmadge Esq. Of this city. is gentleman OF high
standing here in city and of elevated character and
that any post here in city which the Department
may fit TO give lin, there be no doubt that ho
will discharge with fidelity TO the government and
honor to himself Yours respectfully .sfs ygpooxs
NJ. Z. for Sixth Cong. Dist
s'Look on that picture, and on thisH Could
there be imagined any thing more characteristic o;
these wretched politicians? What fairness What
honesty! What a high sense of honor! Just
think OF it, look at it, reflect upon it, and mourn
for the utter depravity of your political trader
your miserable uaihcker in ''the spos!" Here is
member OF Congress giving private certificate
TO Mr.. Iallmadge, OF the highest character and
yet, according to all appearances, the same indi-
vidual, In his editorial capacity, has been endea-
voring to defeat his own candidate gives the lie to
his own recommendation, and actually abuses the
administration for making appointment which
he had himself urged and suggested! Alas alas
Such is the honor of politicians!
THE ADMINISTRATION AND TIE WAR IN EUROPE
The STEAMSHIP UNITED STATEs.-We give, In
another column of this days Herald, letter from
Washington, relative to the organization OF the
German navy, and the course of the administers
ton in the war between Prussia and Denmark
We learn, in addition TO the statements OF this
letter. that an order was received in this city, yes
terdsy, from Washington, to prevent the departure
OF the steamship United States, unless her purcha-
sers give satisfactory bonds that she shall not be
used as a war steamer in the present struggle be-
tween Prussia and Denmark.
This will be disappointment to the purchaser,
the Prufsian government. She is fitted out in
the best ORDER and, as she lays, cost upwards of
sS5O,O00.
