Warfare on the administration.

In their anxiety to censure Gen. lay
lor's administration the locofocoo papers
resort to every species of misrepresentation
that can be dreamt of, in order to deceive
their readers-some Of whom may per-
haps be simple enough 10 swallow all that
is said, no matter how absurd, as veritable
spirit, we have now before Us three or four
such papers, one of which gravely informs
It's - enlightened readers for such they
must be, that Gen. Taylor has taken mil
lions out of the treasury so as to create a
defcit-others assert that he has sent a
minister to Austria, and therefore launch
into TRADES against him-a third party
makes out all kinds of violations of law,
and a fourth cites to his aid the whole cata-
logue Of vituperation, one day accusing
him of doing every thing wrong, and the
next charging that he does nothing at all
ANY one who has ever read the constitution
of our country of course knows that Gen.
Taylor can neither spend money nor ap-
point ministers without the authority of
law of Congress, and that such idle stories
are got up for no other purpose than to in
jure the old hero, merely because he is not
soft enough TO be the tool Of locofocos.-
Were he to appoint them to office instead of
wings, their lamentations would cease in a
moment, and Gen. Taylor be the greatest
man living.

Post Office Robberles !

| AS we expected, most of the recent Post
Office depredations can be traced home to
the f0cofoc0 ranks, just as was the Susque-
hanna Bank swindIe. The new admins
tration has been foully abused for the small
number of removals it has made, but as
facts now show, the public safety would
have been better secured by few more
still. Young Gearhart, who recently
robbed the Danville Post Office, IS, as we
learn from the Danville Democrat, a reg
ular lOcofoco, and few weeks since VIM.
$. Hunt, the Post Master at Erwmna,
Bucks county, whom the mistaken kind
ness of the administration had retained in
Office, was also arrested for depredations
upon the mails Hunt was arrested
through the vigilance and energy Of Col
Ottinger, of Bedford county, one of the
most active agents Of the Department.
Suspicion having rested upon him, Col.
Ouinger mailed letter at Philadelphia,
containing an amount Of counterfeit bills.
addressed to Mauch Chunk. He found
that it got no further than Erwinna. He
promptly arrested Hunt. who aGerward
confessed his crime and was committed to
prison. He has heretofore borne a good
character, and has stood high among the
democracy. lie was a candidate for the
nomination for Sheriff of Bucks county in
1913, and again for County Commissioner
in I849, and if nominated for either would
have been elected. He has held a commits
sion Of postmaster for many years, and had
the administration dared to remove him,
there would have been no end to the groans
it would have occasioned.
With cotemporary we hope that in all
cases Of mail depredations the politics of
the thief may be published. The locotoco
press has been endeavoring TO cast suspi-
cion on the new appointments, and the
public want to know when robberies are
committed, whether the offenders are loco
focos or wings. If the latter, let all the
punishment and odium be visited upon
them that they merit. But justice demands
that when depredadons are committed by
locoloco officers who have not been re-
moved, the fact should be made known and
the administration relieved of all odium.

on that same barrel of Flour imported at
NewYork or Baltimore. And the scarcer
and dearer Flour shall become in Western
America the higher the duty that must be
paid on it under Democracy's AID Valorem

cost forty dollars to import, Unjust pay eight
dollars duty at San Francisco, although
lust as good Flour may be coming in at Os-
wego and Buffalo from Canada that same

Gnrnornfion Tinkerimg.

One of the innate propenslties of Legis-
Iators is to waste time and accomplish
nothing. Our Common Council seem to
possess and cherish this propensity in its
transcendental degrees.
But the present City Charter puts stop
per on the indulgence Of this natural pen
chant Itprovides that the Common Coun-
Gil shall hold only three sessions a year
and that they shall not exceed month
each, provision whose wisdom must be
apparent to every man endowed with more
common sense than prejudice, and not sway
ed by self interest.
But though three months in year are
ample for the transaction of the business of
the City by any thirty-six capable men
bent on attending to it, much more time is
found desirable for the peculiar methods of
legislation in vogue at the City Hail. 1t
seems then that the announcement restric-
ton of the Charter ought TO be got rid of,
and the whole year thrown open for the
Common Council to range in at its own will
and pleasure, A resolution to this purport
has accordingly been brought before the Al
de,men.
Now we protest against any such memo
rial to tie Legislature as this resolution
contemplates; and were there the slightest
danger of its prayer being granted, we
should protest still more earnestly against
that. But there is no such danger. At
the slightest indication of it, opposing petit
tons from the People would go up to Alba
ny in such numbers as to consign the alb
surd scheme to long repose. And if we
might venture a suggestion it would be,
that there are affairs before the Common
Council of much more urgent nature than
the proposed emasculation of the Charter,
and that the public interest would not Sc.
riously suffer should the consideration of
that subject be indefinitely postponed.

Robbery of the United STATES Mail.

UIIrA, MOuuaI DEC. y.
Thomas Mitchell. Postmaster at West Fowler
St. Lawrence County, was brought TO this city
last evening, in custody OF special agent of the
Department, under arrest for robbng the United
States Mail. He was taken before Commissioner
NJ. a. Boyce, this morning.
1t appears that for several months past, pack
ages passing over the route between WATERFOWL
aud Canada, directed to New fork, Philadelphia.
&c have been distracted, and upon inquiry, it
was clearly ascertained that Mitchell was the
guilty person. The Commissioner, after brief
hearing, required the prisoner to give bail in the
amount Of $4,000, which failing to do, he WA
committed.
Much credit is due to Mr. Holbrook, the special
agent of the Department, for the sagacity Of the
plan laid and the ability with which It car

a California Qunndnry.

A san francisco correspondent writes
under serious concern Of mind respecting
the Tariff, which, it seems, bears hardly
upon the interests of California in the mat
tel of Flour. Our Westernmost sister wants
to buy her Flour of Chill, whence it comes
sweet and fresh, in preference to that from
the Atlantic States, which often sours or
becomes moldy on its long voyage, espe-
cialIy within the,tropics and she don't like
TO pay the heavy duty imposed by our pres
ent Tariff on the South American staple,
while the North American pays none at
all This discrimination, our correspondent
says, is charged by the Democracy on the
Who's. and he wants to- know what is to
be done in the premises.
We will not presume our correspon-
dent, or his Loco-Foco friends in San Fran
cisco, ignorant of so very glaringa fact as
that The present Tariff was enacted in l846
under the auspices of President Polk and
Secretary Walker, and that it was sup
ported by nearly every Member of each
House who calls himself Democrat and
opposed from first to last by the Wings
with scarcely an exception. We cannot
believe California so far away that facts
so notorious as these can be unknown there.
But we understand our friends Demo
cratic associates to insist rather that the
present high duty paid by CahfornianS on
Gillian or Peruvian Flour is logically de-
feasible only on Wing principles though it
was enacted by Democrats. If so, they
are Just as widely mistaken, The Wings
dom hold to the imposition of high duties
on articles which the country would wholly
import or almost wholly produce at home
in the absence Of any duties. Such duties
are levied for Revenue only, and have no
Protective efficacy. They do not belong
to our school, but to that of our opponents,
But perhaps the San Francisco Democ-
racy would ike to have it understood that
the Wings have general passion for high
duties per Sc: that they would have taxed
the Californians still heavier on their South
American Flour if Wing policy and the
Tariff of ~ had still continued in the as
cendant.-They are dead wrong once more;
for the Wing Tariff of 40 imposed specific
duties on everything to which specific du-
ties could be applied, which would have
been far more favorable to our California
friends. The duties imposed by the
Wing Tariff of 40 were-On Wheat
twenty-five cents per bushel; on Flour,
one dollar and forty cents per barrel
These duties were the same in all parts of
the Union; but the triumph of Democra-
cy' upset all this and made the duty treenfy
per cent. instead; and consequently who
ever imports barrel of Flour at San
Francisco must pay assuming Flour to be
dearer the West THAI on the East side OF
