fraudulent contract-distinctly made as it
is by the U,sion-is libel and lie; and
the Union will mark that the man lies who
states what he does not know to be true,
as well as he who states what he knows
to be untrue.
One word more, personal to ourselves,
we must be pardoned. The Union speaks
OF our employers and masters" The
Union inslnuates that we stand in that re-
lation to the present Administration which
itself occupied in regard to the last. When
It charges that we are employed and mas
tered; without touching us, it at least con-
victs itself of having held degrading
relation to Mr. Polk and his Cabinet. 1t
does not touch us because we have no en-
ployers but the Who's Of thirty States,
and no master but our own sense of public
duty. With regard to the public adver-
Using, it is true that this journal has been
selected by the PRESIDENT as the third
newspaper at the seat of Government con-
templated by the law for the publication of
official notices and advertisements. 1t is
not irksome to us to receive this advertis-
ing through the favor of Chief Mags-
trate for whom we entertain the most
profound respect. But we advise the
Union not to press this point too strongly
Many weeks will not elapse before we shall
be entitled to this advertising, by virtue of
our circulation. Though we have now
been in existence but little more than sixty
days, we can probably, this day, compare
subscription lists with the Union, and
claim the public advertising, not by
the Presidential favor, but by the law
Of the land. But we are willing to rest
under the discredit Of enjoying favor
from the hands of President TAYLOR.
We would not deprive him of the pleasure
| which, we have no doubt, it gives him to
confer the favor upon US; and we have no
desire to embarrass him with the necessity
of continuing the public advertisements in
the Union from his own special selection,
or subjecting himself to another howl of
"proscription" if he should refuse to en-
| ploy the little patronage of the President to
encourage daily libels upon himself.
This is the extent of the Executive pa
tronage enjoyed by the Republic; and if
the Union does not learn to pay more re-
gard to "truth and veracity," we shall
abandon this, and take the advertising un-
der the law. The Union shall not profit
| by our forbearance, and then taunt us with
| receiving as favor what we are entitled
to as right. What says S277, 46S to this
view of the casel

''The following letter is from well known friend
in Cincinnati and we have no doubt truly states
the circumstances in relation 10 the alleged defa

lord will commence the counting Of the money;
and il but remains to be seen whether Mr. Collins
Is a dgduiier 10 large amount or that General
Taylor, the second Washington, and his vile
sociates are To be branded by an honest commu.
nifty as sianderes, assassins, and iibeers. The wr
ter Of this begs leave ~ assure you, and through
you the Democratic party, that Mr.. Collins is not
defaulter for better or purer public officer never
lived"
The Union confounds the crime of de
falcation with theft. II is a libel, in its
eye, TO charge a man with being a de-
faulter, unless you can prove that he has
absolutely stolen the public money. The
Daily Commercial, of Cincinnati, of the
18th instant, copies an article from the
.AtlaS Of the day previous, which states
the facts in the case of Mr.. COLLINS with
some minuteness, and we presume with
accuracy.
The speculations Of the AfLas are to the
point. II is certainly a cause Of "difficul-
ty'' with public officer, when he fails to
act according to law. The difficulty in
this case with Mr.. COLLINS is, that he has
converted the public money which he has
received into other funds, OF has loaned or
invested them. This is one offence. II
is another, and a distinct offence, that he
has failed TO pay over the public moneys
in his possession on demand. Either of
these offences is punishable with fine and
imprisonment. And yet the Union charges
General TAYLOR, through IFS correspond
ent, with being an " assassin, slanderer,
and libeller," because we simply stated
the fact, which is abundantly proved, that
Mr.. Collins is a deiaulter. We annex
the article to which we have referred.
