The body of man discovered by the steve
dores in the hold of the ship Washington from Delt
zyl, in Germany, while unloading at the wharf in
New York. on the 30th ultmo. The body was 30
jammed and covered up by the cargo to induce
the suspicion that the man had been murdered and
secreted board the vessel either before she sailed
from Germany or during the voyage. The corpse
very much decayed and exceedingly
offensive, though the coroner's inquest it was
discovered that the throat had been cut from ear TO
An extract from the log of the Washington states
that on the 18th August, Charles Page, Prussian,
aged twenty-one years, Storage passenger,
missed supposed to have fallen overheard in the
night. All search was made for him, but he could
not be found. 1t is generally believed that the I'M
fortunate man, Page, who supposed to have
fallen overheard on the 18th August, is the one
whose body has been found in the hold of the Wash
ington. He known to have large sum Of
money around his body in belt-some four or FIVE
hundred doars-and the supposition is, that he was
entced into the hold on pretence other, and
there murdered for the sake of his money. The
vessel arrived on the Odd of August last, at New
York, near two weeks ago, within which time no
doubt, the perpetrators of the dreadful crime have
gone as far distant from the city possible

THE REPUBLIC.

other than those growing out Of the black
tariff, which have furnished SO many OF
them with their board and lodging from
time immemorial. There are States which
have not been ridden to death by clique OF
narrow-minded politicians, who have bro
ken down internal Improvements and the
various forms of domestic industry, and
have thriven, " like caterpillars," on the
4" decayed prosperity" of their own COM
monwealths. There are States which
have no clerkships, and no midshipmen's
warrants, and no timber or tobacco con-
tracts, and no arrangements for the use of
public money in commercial speculations
a la DENBY and OSBORNE. In these
States, those who hold office are looked
upon as the poor, humble, and dependent,
and not those who are turned out of office
But, in the eyes Of the ex-organ, men must
be nothing if not office-holders. They
must starve if they cannot fasten them
selves on the public chest. They must
beg their bread from door to door, if they
cannot be accommodated with indoor re-
lief by Uncle Sam.
We hope that the ex-organ will desist
from giving currency to these diseased
and depraved notions. They are unwor-
thy manhood. They sound like the wall
ing Of second childhood. They are in
sulting to the subjects of them. They
do discredit even to the ex-organ.

independence by unfortunately seeking any sort of
compromise with party which has no taste for any
thing nobler than the strife and uproar of the po-
liical battle. If the Wings do not contend their
PRINCIPLES cannot be triumphant; and for the sake
of those they will meet their ancient foe marshaled
in all probability, under the piratical flag to which
the largest wing of Democracy has already rallied
and which will flap above all that can be called
the Democratic party, commanded by such veteran
leaders as Martin Van Buren, and Thomas H.
BENTON.

laid on the table of the House by the votes
of his own party. Then we saw the work
of seduction and intimidation commence.
Then we saw Mr.. BANCROFT, Mr.. BUcH-
ANAN, Mr.. CAVE JOHNSON, and Mr..
WALKER, tugging at the buttons of the re-
fractory members on the floor of the House.
Then we saw the game of bullying and
buying in full blast-the organ threatening
to-day-this members friend appointed to
Office the neXt-that member quoted with
treasury the next day-till the con-
demned measure was pushed through the
House by the votes of the very men who
had voted in the first instance, without
ceremony, to lay it upon the table. If this
means Of carrying their point failed the
administration, then came the resource Of
the veto--that monarchical element in our
Government which is the last relic of the
one-man power.
Now, President TAYLOR has no schemes
or measures that he desires to accomplish
in opposition to the popular will. Hence
it is that an adverse majority in both
branches would have no terror for him.
What the people will-to that he desires
to give effect; because upon the capacity
of the people to know what is right, and
their disposition to do what is right, rests
the whole theory Of our institutions. This
is sound WIG doctrine. 1t is the doc
trine of Mr.. CLAY and of Mr.. WEBSTER
1t is the doctrine which the WIGS have
been long striving to establish, in spite OF
the party organization and the party ma
chinery by which, for the last twenty
years, the will of the party leaders-the
will of the two houses of Richmond and
Albany-the will Of the elite and of the
regency, by means of resolutions manu-
featured at Washington for the local legis-
latures and political conventions-has
been substituted for the will of the people.
To the true Republicans-to the honest
Democrats of the country-this doctrine
cannot fail to be acceptable. Hence it is
that there is really so little disposition
among the people to join the factious OPP
position to President TAYLOR started by
the displaced office-holders. The Democ-
racy in New York are better satisfied that
power should remain in the hands of Presi-
dent TAYLOR, than that it should go into
the hands of either the clique of Mr.. VAN
buren, or the clique of General CAss.
There is not an Old Hunker in New York
who would not have President TAYLOR
rather than President VAN buren, there
is not Barnburner who would not have
President TAYLOR rather than President
CAss. They all know that President TAY-
LoR will carry out honestly and in good
faith the will of the American people; and
they know, moreover, that it is not safe to
go before the American people to break
down Chief Magistrate who stands upon
that truly Republican platform.

Are the Public omces Poor-hou.e.,

Are the Public Ohces POOr-hOuses!
The language which the Union holds
daily in regard to the displaced office
holders is in the last degree insulting. 1t
is continually talking about the "poor,
humble, dependent clerks and postmas-
ters''-as if there had been quartered on
the public during the last four years
pack of paupers, who are unable to earn
their living elsewhere than at the public
crib. The ex Commissioner of Patents
took especial pains to advise the public at
an early day that his late Office was not at
all necessary for his independent support
We all know that gentleman who has
fingered a. much public money in his day
as the ex-State printer of Virginia, and
the recipient of S277, 46S from single
Congress, must be tolerably easy in his
circumstances, or must have been reck-
less spendthrift. But because these wor-
thy men are wealthy, and have large
ideas, why should they look upon all other
men as dependents and beggars because
they cannot live without working, or re-
tire if they please on the rental of gold
mineI
We have said that the language of the
Union is insulting-and so it is in the
last degree. With regard to the postmas-
tiers, we apprehend that the ex-postmaster
of Baltimore, Mr.. BUCHANAN, will hardly
thank the ex-organ for setting up this
clamor on his account. He is a lawyer of
excellent attainments, we understand, and
very capable to keep himself out of the
poor-house, to which the ex-organ as
signs all the elected office-holders by his
professional exertions. So with Mr.
Morris in New York, who has been, for
many years, one Of the most popular and
successful ntS1 priuS advocates in that me-
tropolis. We imagine that he will hardly
consider himself flattered by this daily APP
peal in behalf of the "poor" office holders,
who are turned out to beg or starve. MIR.
GREENE, of Boston, is another instance.
He has held the post office in that city for
many years, and has discharged its duties,
by the way, to universal satisfaction. If
he has not accumulated very pretty es-
tate, from the emoluments of his office, he
is an excellent man of business, and an
accomplished scholar, quite as able to
command a handsome support by his pen,
in the fields either of literature or politics,
as either Of the editors of the Union.
These gentlemen, and their brethren in
exile, cannot fail to be annoyed and dis
gdsted at being always classed, by this ar
rogant and purse proud ex-organ, among
a set Of do-nothings, who cannot earn their
salt outside Of the treasury doors. Our
worthy senior editor should learn that
there are many other avenues open TO an
honest living besides clerkships and post
offices, and besides the army and navy.
The elite Of the distinguished Democrats
Of Richmond have been working so sue
cessfully IN the public mines, for the last
forty years, that they seem entirely to for
get that there are means Of livelihood
