Jeffersonian Republican. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1840-1853, 1850-06-13

have attempted to describe, and ofwhich the car
isle Volunteer, is an excellent type IT is enough
to say in answer TO this last allegation that the
editors of the Republic never minated the slight
EST dissatisfaction with the President or his Caol.
net upon any question whatever, anc never avowed
the slightest difference OF opinion upon any sub
ject but that of the Compromise. On the contra
ry, in taking leave of the Republic they took occa-
sion to endorse to- the fullest extent: not only lis
wisdom, sagacity and patriotism, but what Is more
pertinent to the issue presented by the paragraph
before US, honesty and purity, also.
In regard to the payment Of interest upon the
Galphin claim, which is made the basis and pre-
text Of all this outcry, and all tnis vituperaon OF
the President and his Cabinet, it is sufficient to
saw that Congress recognised the justness of the
claim. and authorized the payment OF whatever
might be found due by the proper accounting Of
ficer Of the Department-that this was under the
Administration of Mr. Polk--that the auditor who
investigated the matter, was LocoIoco, OF Mf
Folks appointment, and that II + reported IN favor
of the payment of BOTH principal and interest,"
and that in addition to this, II was declared oy
Mr.. Elk Secretary, Of the Treasury, Hon. 10
bert j. Walker, on oath, as witness before the
I.ocofoco Committee, appointed by the present
Locofcoo House of Representatives, TO lnsestigate
the whole transactions that had he had the opinion
Of the Attorney General before him, when the
matter was brought to his notice, while secretary
of the Treasury, he would at once, and without
the slightest hesitation, have directed the payment
Of the interest.
In view of all these facts so fully sustaining the
honor and character OF the Administration, we say
it is plain that the editor who affects to see any
thing dishonorable in The payment OF the GalPhin
claim, is either base and reckless slanderer,
libller and traducer by intention and profession,
or else hopeless and dwelling fool, who is inca
pable of comprehending the weight and force OF
undsputed facts and The positive testimony of un-
impeached and unimpeachable Witnesses.
In contrast with the fabulous "GalPhin," and
other imaginary plunderers under the present Ad-
minstration, we beg leave to present the following
lis. of real vultures who were. so successful in
thrusting not only their beaks, but their whole bo-
dies into he Treasury under the Locofoco Admin
istrations OF Jackson. Van Buren, and Polk
Names of plunderers. Amount stolen.
