the works commenced under the authority Of st.
Louis and the State OF Illinois. l do not even
know that the individual who drew the report was
aware of the arrangement made betwssn these
two parties. presume, from all have bean able
to learn upon the subject, that these improve
ments, under the authority Of st. Louis and tho
State Of Illinois, will be sufficient to eject the pur-
pose. II 20, the present appropriation is unne-
cessary.
1t will be understood from the remarks here
quoted that the objections wehave urged against
the present system of public printing are con-
irmed to the letter by Mr.. PEARcE. Here
was document ordered in September. and
placed on the tables Of the Senators on the 4th
of March. If it is well that public documents
should be furnished ''sia months after they are
soanted"-that is to say, six months after the
period when they possess something Of more va
lue than waste paper--then is the present sys-
tenn wise and profitable for the country. Com
mon sense. however, would Indicate that all
money SO expended is money wasted; and, if
Congress cannot procure its documents until
six months after they are likely to be of use, it
had better altogether abandon the system Of
printing them.
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1851-03-26

For the following emphatic testimony to the
merits of the present mode of executing the
public printing we are indebted to the Senator
from Maryland, Mr.. PEARcE. In this connex-
ion we feel it our duty to bear willing testl-
mony to the propriety Of that gentleman's
course on the resolution for the relief Of
Mr.. RICHIE, which is made the subject
of censorious comment in the Union Of
Saturday. As far as Mr.. TURNKEY is con-
cerned, we care not how much he may be abused
by the sole organ Of the Democracy. He is one
of the Union's own. We dare say that his
course on this subject was dictated by the vim
dictive motives ascribed to him; but Of Mr..
PEARcE, or any other WING, the ex-con-
tractor had no right to expect any thing but
simple and severe justice. Mr.. FooTE
moved in the matter of his friends contract
few moments before the adjournment of the
Senate on the 4th Of March. Mr.. PEARcE
desired an opportunity Of expressing his views
on the merits of the resolution. He was I'M
willing that it should be adopted without such
expression, and he said that, to give those
views to the country, would probably require
more time than remained Of the session. There
was no rule of comfy that demanded Of him
the suppression of his opinions, and it was rea-
sonable enough for him to desire that, instead
of acting separately upon the proposition for
Mr.. RIrcHIE's relief, the whole subject Of
public printing should be taken up and dis
posed Of on fair and full discussion. Sensi-
BILE that the present system was fatally defec-
tive, and that it could be better reformed as an
entirety than by piecemeal, he very properly
declined to waive his right to place his opin-
ions on record, for the sake Of hurrying through
a special resolution for the benefit of gentle
man who had certainly no claims whatever to
any indulgence or favor from any member of
the WING party.
With these comments, we copy from the de-
bate on the River and Harbor bill the remarks
Of Mr.. PEARcE on the general system which
controls the present execution Of the public
printing:

Government not that it contains opinions
which we endorse, or that it is uttered in a

because we differ so entirely from Mr.. CLING

The papers confirm the report of the tele-
graph which informed us Of the death of M. M.
Moan, of New York. He died at mature
age, and, without Disagreement to his charac-
ter or his position, we may well say that the
city with which he has been SO long identified
might have "better spared better man." For
some forty years or more he had occupied
prominent place as politician-looking upon
politics as game, and playing it with as little
real interest OF feeling as he would bring to
game of cards. He was cool and shrewd OBJ
server, unreliable in his political associations,
with facility for shifting his sails to the popu-
lar breeze that enabled him to steer his craft
pretty generally straight into the port of power.
For many years he was all powerful at Tam
many Hall, but left the Democratic party, we
believe, on the Bank question-was in opposi-
ton during Mr.. VAN BuREN's term, was
TYLER man and Polk man, and, more re-
Gently, we apprehend, neutral in his political
relations.
1t was as a journalist that Mr.. Noah won his
chief reputation. Hepossessed an infinite fund
of general information with regard to men and
things, and he wrote in style Of much vivaci-
ty and point. He was familiar with dramatic
literature, and with theatrical history. Indeed,
he had himself written several dramatic pieces,
which were of Indifferent merit, but which OBJ
tained local and temporary popularity. He had
been the friend Of all the great actors who have
figured our boards for the last thirty or forty
years, as well as Of all the Democratic politi-
clans who had been distinguished during that
period in the annals of New York. Of these
sources Of amusing anecdote and "Reminiscences
he awaited himself in his editorial career, and
was thus able to relieve with agreeable gossip
the consideration of weightier matters of poll
tics. It was but seldom, indeed, that he ven
| tured on the grave discussion Of public ques-
tions. His partisan warfare was carried on by
the pointed paragraph, the sheer, the squib, the
apt Jest, the humorous story. 1t was here that
his forte lay and it was in this description Of
intellectual effort that he made his mark. With
little literary pretensions, with slovenly and
inaccurate manner of expression, he still man
aged to throw into'his paragraphs vital some
thing that always made them sought after and
read.
In his private relations we think that Mr..
Moan was esteemed a charitable, kind-heart-
ed, and humane gentleman. His manners were
mild and amiable. The pleasant twinkle Of
his bright eye, and the liberal smile upon his
cheerful countenance, indicated temper too
generous to harbor malice, though perhaps too
light and facile to receive any ineffaceable inn
pressions. It was good-natured facility
the ready reception of kindness and easy for
getting of anmosities-that made him indif-
ferent and faithless in his party associations.
His faults and failings sprang from the same
source with his merits and his virtues; and
while the one will live yet few years on his
tombstone, let the other be kindly buried with
ha aahes

questions.
Mr.. McLANE said this was not his statement,
and proposed to explain.
Mr.. CLIsGMAN continued: regret that the
hands of the clock moving too rapidly to per-
init me to give the gentleman the floor. may be
mistaken about the precise terms he did use. The
members of the House generally are quite like
ly to recollect what he did say he or /. He
said further, in continuation, that Democrat, in
l54S, was he that voted for Cass and Butler and,
in 1874, for Polk and Dallas. Amusing was
the exhibition made by the gentleman, on that
occasion, doubt whether any other member OF
the House would not have found it as difficult to
define the distinctions between Wings and Demo-
Gratis, as national parties, at this time The truth
is, MIR. Chairman, that the old issucs, which for
merly divided these two parties, have now disap-
peared, and, for want Of the old landmarks, the
lines Of division are scarcely pcrceptble.
(Mr McLANE said that they still existed, in his
opinion.)
Then, sir, it is very extraordinary that the gen.
tleman on yesterday not able to point them
out Though cross-examined by several mem
bers, and worried for quarter Of an hour, he was
not IDLE TO lay hold OF any one of these old land
marks. They must have been buried very deeply
under ground to escape detection by optics keen
as his. There can be no doubt, Mr.. Chairman, that
the Wing and Dcmoc ratio parties, essentially
divided to measures, have now become mere
factions. BY factions, mean, as contradistin-
guishcd from parties, to designate bodies Of men,
not separated by well-defincd principles, but only
by political luminosity, because struggling
against each other for office. Such associations
are usually the most mischievous. Wanting the
disinterestcdness and purity which struggle for
principle il apt to cngcnder, they soon become
terly selfish, and tend to political corruption.
