A little sufferer laid IN high, dreary garret;
and the beams above his head, and on every side,
were black and foul. His cheek scarlet with
the flush Of fever, and the unnatural light OF his
eye flashed in the dimness OF coming evening, like
diamond in its gloomy bed OF anthracite. Some

Factions Opposition.

There is manly and generous opposi-
ton to government, which excites no ma
levolence and generates no bitterness.
There is a tricky, factious, and base OPP
position, which vents its spleen and spite
in unworthy annoyances, and small con-
trIvances for embarrassing administration
by stimulating popular discontents. One
OF the most obvious Of these contrivances
is to deprive government of the necessary
means to defray its expenditurcs-or in
other words, to stop the supplies. This
has usually been regarded as the extreme
remedy in public affairs, to be resorted to
only when all other modes of peaceful
revolution had failed.
Before the organization Of the House of
Representatives at its present session,
there was laid, or ought to have been, on
the table of every member in both
branches of Congress, letter from the
Secretary of the Treasury, transmitting
estimates of additional appropriations re-
CURED for the service of the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1850, and for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1851. In this let
ter Mr.. MEREDITH told Congress that the
expenses Of collecting the revenue from
customs from LIST January TO 30th June,
1850, would amount in round numbers TO
s 1875, 900. This sum was arrived at by
taking the actual expense Of correspond
ing period Of the year previous, 81, 100,-
600, and adding to it $4,000 for the ad-
ditional expenses created by the ware
housing system authorized, $4,000 for
the new districts in Texas, Oregon, &C.,
500, 900 for expenses Of new districts in
California, and $50, for the annual
increase Of new districts and increase of
business. For the entire twelvemonth,
on the same basis of expense, Mr.. MERE
DrTH asks 50, $780, 900. This he considers
fair and reasonable estimate of the
amount necessary to preserve the eff
cheney Of the public service in his Depart
ment.
BY law struggled through Congress
on the last night of the last session--by
Locofoco trick, for the purpose of embar-
RAISING the incoming Administration-the
Department (unless il is relieved by Con-
gress) is compelled to do the work which
it estimates at S2,750, 900 for the sum Of
81 $500 That is to say, it is cut short
Of the amount which il esteems necessary
in the modest sum Of $1,200,000. Now,

mutton must result in The greatest con-
