II understand the remarks Of certain senators in the
debate Tuesday last upon the resolution to print the
second part of the report OF the Commissioner of Patents
il is distinctly charged. the authority Of the Commits
sioner. that Horace Greeley Of the New York Tribune,
for him, surrepdtously obtained and pub
shed, that part of the first portion Of his report which is
contained in pamphlet recently issued by Mr. Greeley
entitled The Report Of the Commissioner Of Patents for
lS4e" 1t strikes us that this is charge Of grayer i'm
port than would appear at first sight Here editor Of
newspaper charged the authority OF the head Of
public Office, with surrepously obtaining and publish
ing the report Of that officer addressed to Congress- and
making matter Of speculation out Of il. before il has
been printed by Congress. Is the charge true And is il
to be tolerated in fuure Surely Mr. Greeley should be
required to answer in way for this grave offence
in manner to explain and Justify his conduct in this
respect

Tho following little episode, WHICH We
find in recent speech Of Hon. JoliN BELL ei
Tenn, illustrates faithfully the emptiness o.
the Locofoco cry of"proscrip.ion,' that has
resoundcd throughout the Uuion upon the
removal from Office Of a few Of those parll.
sans who have fa,,ensd upon lis sroils for
years. The policy Of removing IRON
Office men, faithful but less scrsIeeable, to
make room for those more sersiceab'e III
elections, has been that Of the Democratic
party for twenty years, and 70 such
height was il carried during Gen. Jackson
administration, that cases have been
known where one jackson man has been
removed from office and another put in his
place on the express ground that he was
better Jackson man and more influential
at elections! Many, very many, Locofocos
have We. to be removed from office by the
present administration before the republi-
can doctrine Of Observation-Disclosures OF
tho public Offices between the two parties
will be sustained. But to the extract -
Iwoud inquire of my FRIEND the Senate: from Penn
