We copy from the New York Herald the following
resolution. offered IN the House Of Representatives
Thursday morning BY Mr.. Stanly, Of North Carolina
having been cent on the afternoon OF that day to the Her
aid by telegraph printed and returned the next morning
by mail to this city; which is the most important and
marvellous thing about it, But to the resolution
Mr. s,anly asked leave 70 offer aesoIoton that the
ecl committee appointed 10 investigate the charges against
Thomas Ewing, and what clerks appointed by him cor
respond with newspapers inquire what persons holding
office under the last administration clerks heads OF ba
reaus Commissioner OF Patents Assistant Postmaster
General for, edited newspapers, their compensa
ton and salaries and who wrote the Bandeleund essays
and what Office he held and whether during the
for the presidency any them absented themselves from
their offices make eeciloneering speeches, and were
called 70 subscribe money TO operate against General
Taylor.
MIR. Johnson, of Arkansas. very properly denounced
this resolution "rash But il is just the material for
Mr. Stany, when he essays display Of bis splendid par
liamentary strategy.
So far as "Bundecund" is concerned, we will answer

member OF Mr.. Folks cabinet requested us to do il,
or knew that we intended such work. before il was
undertaken On the contrary undertook it expressly

little annoyance to the whig party, il we may
Judge of the in which its members speak Of our
humble work We were then, it is true, Commissioner
Of Patents but we did our work not in Office hours On
the contrary abored hard, nights and mornings, out
Of Office hours to accomplish task and we can truly
affirm that we never worked harder, accomplished
so much, in so short space of time, as we did when
we wrote .Bundelcund" We were paid nothing by
anybody for our aduous abos, and we asked no pay,
having entered upon and performed the task con aore.

But this is not all We procured highly respectable
wing printer in this city to print them for us in pamphlet
FORM He did it faithfully and at very reasonable rate.
and thus enabled our friends circulate through the
country many thousand copies Of production. The
compliment implied in the favor with which essays
were received by our friends sufficient compensa-
ton for our labors II was all asked and all we
ceiyed The public service never suffered particle
while we were engaged on those essays. We hope Mr..
Stanly will now be satisfied to the person who COM
mitted the political sin Of writing "Bundelcund"
But in this matter Mr. Stanly commits the usual error
Of his party The wing partly through General Taylor,
has prescribed and punished all democrats then holding
Office who committed the sin Of writing political essays
letters or matter Of any sort They denounced such
conduct as inconsistent with the duty Of persons en-
poyed by the government and bringing the influence OF
the government in conflict with the freedom Of elections
Hence all such prescribed by General Taylor and
his cabinet, and removed for that cause
Now, what is the fair inference from such conduct
is, that the practice thus pursued is in their esma-
ton, reprehensible, and to be suppressed by the
whole power and influence OF the government II
is, in fact, pledge or assurance to the country
that all persons in Office. guilty Of such conduct,
shall be punished by removal But, notwithstanding
this pledge to the country, it is charged and have

now in its employment many persons who editors,
reporters, and correspondents Of newspapers. knoicng

exhibited in relation to all others concerning which they
made promises and 10 the people The object
OF Mr. Richardson's resolution is, TO show up the dupli
city and hypocrisy Of the wing party and the admnisa
ton which represents il in this respect is but the trial
Of another count in the indictment against the wing party
in general and Mr. Stanly need think he evade
the investigation, divert public attention from the
hypocrisy OF the adminstr alton, by throwing out his
bundle OF trash as tub TO the whale. II matters
what persons employed under the last administration

there is no trust or confidence whatever to be placed in

wing party which supports It.
