The GOVERNMENT PRINTING AT WASHINGTON.
Great complaint is made, in Washington, by the
members of both houses of Congress, on the loose,
imperfect, and unsatisfactory manner in which the
government printing is done. We are now in the
fifth month Of the session, and, yet, but few Of
the public documents which were ordered to be
printed, have been laid before Congress. The con-
tract system has been pronounced failure and il
is very evident that il is.
We have frequently said that sooner or later.
the government must do its own printing Until il
does, there Will be satisfaction and the wants of
the government will not be attended TO- There
would be difficulty at all in forming bureau. in
connection with the Home Department, 10 be called
the :" Bureau Of Public Printing" corp. Of re-
Por,ers could be organized very easily, and the pro-
cecdings of both houses might be published every
day, in journal established for the purpose. The
same bureau might take charge OF the printing Of
all public documents and have il done speedily and
satisfactorily. The French government partially
follows system Of this character. The M~iteur.

governments and IL We introduced the plan into
Washington, We are satisfied that il would BE- at
tended with great many benefits. II is certain
that all the plane which have been tried heretofore
have failed. Mr.. Wentworth, Of Illinois. said, in
HE seat in the House Of Representatives, on Thurs
day last, that more millionares had been made out
Of the public printing than by any other mode and
tina, be intended 10 discuss the subject a, another
time. Mr.. Wentworth Is perfectly riah, in his
views, and We hope he will procure the passage cf
abill forming bureau Of the Home Department
provided that department be not abolished, the
business Of which will be to do the government
printing. and make the lazy fellows who are get,
ting nch on the abuses that are now practiscd Geek

be carried into effect. the better, and the more eco

The REPUBIJc OF HAYr1--IssuLrs TO AuxHI-
CAN CITIZENS Within a comparatively short time,
several outrages on the persons and property Of
American citizens have been committed by the au-
thorities of the so-called empire of Hayti, which
received the sanction of the niger Billy Bowlegs,
Faustin Emperor the First, for which redress
should be demanded, and if not promptly rendered,
the said authorities, from the big black Niger, the
Emperor himself, down TO his equally black con-
stables or officers, should be severely punished.
The last outrage of this character was the impri-
sonment of an American captain and OF the Ameri-
can Consul in that island. If nation holding any
rank in the world had committed those outrages,
the whole country, from one end TO the other,
would have been aroused, and the honest indigna-
ton Of our citizens would not have been appeased
until satisfaction was received, but Hayti, being
considered Of no Importance, and Faustin himself
rinslod looked upon in other light than that OF
unsettled baboon, very little is thought of anything
he seys or does.
Yet we think that these last ou;rages should he
Immediately rcdresscd 1t is very well known that
the Niger population OF IIayti, including the empe
ror and all the members Of the government, enter
tain very hostile feelings towards the United
States, and have rcsored 10 every possible method
10 harrsss American merchants residing there, and,
if possible, drive them from the island. No me-
thod has been left untricd to annoy them; and the
consequence is, that our trade with the island has
greatly fallen off, and will eventually be destroyed,
unless strong measures be taken TO make those
niegers respect the American flag and the rights Of
American citizens. We understand that two ma
iiona vessels their way to lIayti, to de-
mand the immediate release of the American Con-
sui, who was still in custody when we received
our last advces from there. Ii il to be hoped that
the commanders will act very promptly in the bust

By Intelligence from Washington, we learn that
Mr.. Campbell, Clerk Of the Houee Of Representa-
aves, died at one O'Clock, yesterday morning We
have no idea who his successor will be, bat we
have no doubt there are already many applicants
in the field. The election Of clerk TO the place
which has been vacated by Mr.. Campbclrs death.
will give rise, we suppose, TO another struggle in
which the differences among the various parties in
Congress, on the slavery question, will be revived
and the ballotings may serve TO show, like ba-
rometcr the changes that have taken place in the
political atmosphere OF Congress, since the com
mencement Of the present session, and especially
develope the effect which the speeches Of Messrs.
Clay, Cass and Webster have exercised on the
minds of membcrs We hardly think that there
will be such struggle az was witnessed when Mr..
Cobb and Mr. Campbell were elected. on the frs,

From Liberia.

The Rev. Mr.. Gurey, who went out on
mission to Liberia, has returned TO Washing
ton. He brings very favorable account Of
the new republic. The Union says:
Mr.. GurIey describes, in animated terms,
the prosperity Of the people. They sccupy
about three hundred miles on the coast, and
penetrate fifty or sixty miles into the interior,
embracing about 5000 coonists, aod large
multitude Of The naiVes Of the cou,try.-
They are enj"ying uninterrupted peace with
the abonginies; and the mpral force which
their superior improvement enables them to
exert is insensibly infusng an improving
spirit among the natives, and counterscting,
in some degree, The range Of the slave trade.
The new constitution OF Liberia is ir oper-
alton. with President. TWO Houses Of the
Legislature, and Judiciary Department.
Great Britain has formed treaty Of COM
merce with that colony. Every day is enar-
ging the articles Of her trade. Mr.. Gurey
brings with him various specimens OF The
productions of Liberia-her coffee which
some suppose is equal to the Java. blocks of
her most precious woods, cotton stuffs. &c..
&c. These curiosites will be exhibited by
Mr.. Gurley to gtarily the public curiosity.
