The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1850-02-04

Of man who, with his ten years old boy
and his sstring," defies Professor BAcHE
and Colonel ALBERT.
~ do not doubt" exclaims the Pre-,
rnier, ''that you can get better collector
in New York for So, 900 than for Sc, 400.'
Not doubt you can get many collector
there for nothing-without any bonds, OF
with bonds just good for nothing at all.
JESSE HoYT is at any time ready to re-
serve his country. Eli MOORE will work
for nothing and find himself. But when
you require of collector bonds TO the
amount Of 100000, and good bonds too,
you will find no one who will take the
Office for $4,000, who has not an eye 10
the 'pickings and stealings."
We leave the Premier for to-day, how
ever, indulging in the hope that he will
send home that "boy'' to the schools Of
Accomac, with his "atlas" and his string,
and rely for his figures, hereafter, upon
scientific men, and for his law upon the
books and the sound expositors thereof,
and SO save us the trouble of this public
schooling ofthe Premier of the House.
The Sport and Enjoymonts or the Bitter
Finders.
The Opposition are naturally anxious to
repel the charge of factious intent to en-
barrass President TAYLOR, by compelling
him to carry on the Government without
adequate means. They deprive him Of
the power Of supporting force adequate
to the collection Of the revenue. They
compel him to dismiss officers indispensa-
bic to the public service. They induce
widespread individual inconvenience, by
the dismissal of these officers and the i'm
position of unusual burthens. They cause
infinite personal suffering among the fami-
lies Of the displaced officers and the
odium of all this they hope to throw upon
the Administration. They visit the sin
upon Mr.. MEREDITH and President TAY-
LoR. They allege that the WHIGs are in
competent to the successful administration
of affairs, and attempt to prove it by show
ing the confusion in the revenue depart
ments. They chuckle over the alleged OPP
preston and actual distress occasioned by
their own factious conduct, and yet deny
any factious intent.
To show the temper in which Locofoco-
ism regards its achievement of the last ses-
sion, and its consequences, we copy par
agraph from the Union of the Sd instant,
to which we would ask the attention of the
country:
"BALrIMoRE, Feb. 2--5 D. M
I" Trouble IN the custom house Cvtailmenf of men
and salaries.
The order for curtailment of salaries and reduc
ton of officers has now reached the Baltimore
custom -house, where it has caused much anguish
and tribulaton. Yesterday was payday, and
there was no money forthcoming, either with or
without the proposed reduction-the why and the
: wherefore no one could tell The question as to
who are to be the discarded ones caused the great
est uneasiness, and each man is calculating his
chances for holding on. The Democrats ,cho haze
been di'p'0eed enjoyed the sport amazingly"
Fine sport, surely! Sport for Locofoco
factionists-pain and ruin to hundreds of
worthy public officers-and infinite con-
fusion and injury to the public service !!
But what care the Bitter-Enders, if they
can embarrass President TAYLOR, and
show that the Wines are not capable of
successful and satisfactory administra-
ton!
