" We mean to do our duty-and whatever face
the future may wear, We mean to oppose the Ad-
ministration and its cabal to the bitter end''
So said the editors of the Washn gton Union some
time since, with degree of frankness and candor
which is really astonishing. And it must be ac-
knowledged that, thus far, they have faithfully re-
deemed the pledge. Every column of the Dem
ocratic organ" teens with bitterness and abuse OF
not only epery measure contemplated or adopted by
the Administration, but of the worthy old gentle
man who is at the head of the government and
every member of his cabinet. We'll, let them like
il-natured ours, continue to bay the moon-that
orb will continue TO shine on, regardless of their
yelpings-Boston Journal

WAILINGs OF Recommendation the moment
that General Taylor, in the administration of the
government, began topurfy the avenues of Office by
removals, the howl of agony has been heard from
the Locofoco press from one end of the country to
the other. Every blow of the axe no matter how
unimportant the limb Topped off by the stroke, has
extorted yell of agony that has echoed and re-
echoed throughout the entire line of that party II
they possessed any sense of propriety-any Of the
philosophy OF manhood-they would abstain from
loss of few offices. Instead of behaving like men
and sharing the fate of political warfare with true
heroism, almost every press in the service of that
party stands blubbering like BOBBY boy who has
dropped his bread and butter in the sand. The
last wailings are over the removal of Captain Brow
nell as Inspector Of Ships If he didn't want to be
removed he shouldn't have been Locofoco, that's
all.-BufaLo Ermess 25N

DALTiMORE, OCt. 80 ID.
We have had day of incessant rain, and it is
still pouring down in torrents with the wind veered
from due south to west, larger quantity of water
has fallen than has been known in the same length
OF time for many years. Jones's Falls is much
swollen. The streets have been thoroughly washed
and there are serious apprehensons Of an overflow.
The storm has doubtless been very severe on the
bay and coast, and shall not be surprised to hear
OF serious damage to the shipping. The wind has
been blowing very heavily at times.
The steamship Republic, which left this city for
Charleston on Thursday last, while off the mouth
of the Patuxent, about ~ O'Clock Thursday night
ran into the schooner Myars, from Washington
North Carolina, and cut her badly that she sunk
Immediately. Fortunately the schooner was la
den with lumber, and thus prevented from being
totally lost 1t is not ascertained what damage the
Republic sustained, but probably not much, as she
proceeded ON her way Immediately.
The Rev Mf 8accus, castor Of the First Presby-
terrain church in this city, announced from the pull
pit yesterday, that within the past twelve years the
congregation over which he presided has given for
charitable purposes the sum Of s 200. This is
highly praiseworthy, and should serve as a exam
pie to others.
There has been nothing of moment done in our
markets. The incemency of the weather has
checked all outdoor operations. Nothing new
whatever Prices are continued nominal, as on
Saturday.
The same state Of affairs prevails in New York
and Philadelphia.
