The Ewing Claim.

A correspondent Of the New York Her.
aid, in letter dated April 81, writes thus,
respecting the investig alton moved by Mr..
Richardson, of Illinois, and the attempts of
the Republic to Suppress it:
The Republic is down upon Col. Rich
ardson, of the House, with such sarca SINS
as it commands, because he has asked for
committee to investigate the charges pre-
ferred against the official conduct of Mr.
Secretary Ewing. 1t bites file. Rich
ardson is bold, able, popular man, not
easily banked in anything he undertakes.
He will sift certain acts OF the Minister of
the Interior, until the inside of them will
be exposed in manner which will make
their authors wish they had never been
touched, or | am no guesser.
The Republic charges that Col. Rich
ardson does not wish committee to b.
appointed. This is doing him a wrong
He does wish it, and he means it shall be
appointed The Republic proclaims that
MIR. Ewing has .re-opened and paid nc
claims except such as Congress ordered to
be re-opened and paid.
This is not So He re-opened and paid
the Chickasaw claim Of $l0S,000, which
Mr.. Commissioner Medill and Gov. Marcy
had refused to allow. Congress did not or
der it to be done by Mr.. Ewing. e,
Mr.. Ewing re opened and paid the claim
of G. w. and E. w. Ewing, Of $77, 600
which Col. Medill and Gov. Marcy had re-
iected. Congress did not order Mr.. Ewing
to pay it.
Mr.. Ewing paid the interest on the old
pension Of Com. Barron, amounting to $3l )
900. Congress did not order him to do it
Nor did Congress order him to pay fees fol
extra services amounting to $l4, 900, to the
Hon. Bale Peyton, charged in Tyler times
when Col. Peyton was United States Dis
trict Attorney for Louisiana.
Congress must and will look into thi.
matter, and Mr.. Thomas Ewing will hav.
to stand the racket. So will Mr.. Meredith
and Mr.. Reverdy Johnson.
When old Father Whittlesey decides
that claim for interest is unjust, and
ought no, to be paid, and Mr.. Reverdy
Johnson decides that it is just, and ought to
be paid, which judgment would be apt te
be the soundest and most correct, provided
Father Whittlesey's conceded with the long
established usage of the government, and
Mr.. Johnson's was clear innovation upon
| that usage?

~ The last Whig reiterates the asser.

O. The last Wing reiterates the asser.
ton that the law authorizing the taking of
ten per cent. interest, is measure of the
Democratic party, yet he fails entirely to
account for the manner in which that meas
ure was got through the Senate where the
wings had majority. 1t may be that the
editor of that veracious sheet can pur-
suade its readers that it was possible for the
minority of the Senate to pass bill through
that body, but we don't believe it.
The editor Of the Wing says: @The arti-
Gle from the Ohio Statesman is a very hap
py illustration of the facility with which
the editor of that paper changes his posi-
tion." Now, if the editor Of the Wing
knew it to be true, as asserted in his paper
of the the 18th ult., that Mr.. Medary sane
toned this law, why did he not adduce the
proof to show it. The truth is, the editor
of the Wing found he had got caught in q
lse, and he adopted the old motto that u
lie we'll stuck to is as good as the truth.
and determined to persist in the falsehood.
Our erudite neighbor does not deign t
inform his readers how and upon wha
principles he justides the granting of spe
cial privileges by means of which corporal
companies realize ID and 26 per cent. upo
their money invested, while at the sam
time he bawls Justify against law whic
enables the private citizen to obtain 10 pc
cent. upon special contract No, it is muc
more consistent with his purpose to reit,
rate falsshood by which he attempts
make political capital.

Free Soil Candidate for Governor

The Free Soil Convention which met in
Columbus on the I'd instant, nominated
Hon. DANIEL R. TILDEN, of Summit CO.,
as the candidate of that party for Cover
nor. Mr.. T. is pretty well known in this
section, if not throughout the country, hav-
ing been engaged in the political struggles
for long number of years. Until quite
recently he has enjoyed an enviable popu-
.larity in the whig party, and for two terms
be was the successful candidate of the wings
of this district fer Congress. In lS4S, he
was delegate IS the Wing National Con-
vention to nominate candidate for Presi-
dent, and after the nomination of General
Taylor, he forsook whiggery and joined in
the free soil movement. But we rather
guess that his former attachment to the
whig party will hardly induce their cenven-
ton, which meets to-day, to adopt him as
their candidate.
Portage sentinel. [volume] (Ravenna, Ohio) 1845-1854, 1850-05-06

C. 1t is amusing to see the abuse which
some Of the Taylor organs heap upon Clay
and Webster, even to reading them straight
out of the whig party. But all this time
they hang fast to Gen. Taylor. We should
like to hear some whig who is enlightened
explain the great difference between the po-
sition of the administration, and that of the
"God-like" and the @Em bodiment.'

IRON FOR THE CLEVELAND AND PITTS.
BuReH RAIL RoAD.-We are informed by
CYRUS PRENTIss, ESQ.,, the enterprising
President of the Cleveland and Pittsburgh
Rail Road Company, that Two Thou
SAND Tons of Rail Road Iron is now on
the way from England, by way of Quebec,
for the above Road. The work will now
be pushed with all possible speed to COM
pletion.-Whig.
We are surprised that the Wing, the
consistent organ of the protectionists, and
that has such heartfelt regard for home
industry, should speak SO approvingly of
this thing of going to England to purchase
the iron for this Road. Such is his regard
for consistency and principle, we had ex-
pected to see him pursue these men who
patronize the @pauper labor" of England
instead of our own @home industry" with
his bitterest denunciations.

New York. April 30,

The walls of the United States Bonded
warehouse and some stores in Water street,
which were burned at the fire on Wednes-
day night last, fell down this morning with
tremendous crash, overwhelming a num-
Der of persons who were ut work among
the ruins. Eight or nine persons were
buried under the fallen walls, and it seems
impossible that they can be got out alive
A similar accident occurred this morning
at the old Chemical Bank, on Broadway
AS the workmen were pulling down one of
the walls Of the old building, it fell before
they could get out Of the way. Six Of them
were buried in the ruins, and two Of them
are killed.

F Some Of the whig papers are begin
ming to find out where they missed it in
yielding their support to nomination "not
fit to be made and though they are near
their end, they show some signs of repent
ance for their follies Of the past. The last
Summit Beacon says:
"The wings of Ohio have suffered deep
ly, as remarked last week, for their efforts
to sustain nomination for the Presidency
made against their most earnest appeals
and warnings. Once made, they saw no
other course that promised better for the
country than to sustain it. After witne SIS
ing the result in our own State, we became
satisfied that it would have been better for
US as party if we had not attempted to
uphold the nomination"
The Beacon then proceeds to rebuke the
the leaders of the whig party in Congress
who have welded themselves to the slave
power and who are seeking to drag the en-
tire party after them. ..
This is the result of supporting and ele ct
ing man to the Presidency who conceal
ed his principles from the @public eye"-
Of attempting to consult policy and popu-
larity at the sacrifice of principle. This
is the second time within ten years that
the whig party have obtained power by
deception and fraud, and before two years
from the date of their triumph had elapsed,
they have been constrained to denounce the
very men whom they have elevated to pow
er. The honest minded Of that party will
learn ere long how much confidence is to be
placed in their leaders

Interesting from WASHINGTON.

The Investigating Committees - Warm
Words between Attorney General
Johnson and Secretary Meredith.
The following appears as special tele-
graphic despatch in the New York Herald
of Saturday:
WASHINGTON, April 26, 1850.
The Investigating Committees are still
at work. Yesterday, in the presence of
the committee, some hot words passed be
tween Mr.. Meredith, the Secretary of the
Treasury, and Mr.. johnson, the Attorney
General. Each made accusations against
the other. When these cases are disposed
of, if President Taylor should continue to
be incredulous, movement will be made
on the whig side which will convince him.
1t is matter Of common report in this city,
today, that whlg Senator proposes to in.
troduce resolution declaring the cabinet
condemned, and recommending its dis.
charge. We have known that such a
movement is on foot, and that the most
Jealous wings in Congress are committed
to sustain such a resolution, when it is Of
fered. "
