AMERICAN TELEGRAPH
PROSPECTUS
OF THE
AMERICAN TELEGRAPH,


A Newspaper published daily and weetlg at Wash
iagton city,
AT no period since the formation Of our Govern
ment has the service Of an enlightened impartial,
and independent press at the seat of Government
been more required than now. The near ap-
proach of the Presidential election the influence
which II must have on our future destiny the
combinations formed to govern the public choice
and the issues which the political organizations
viii present, should be fully discussed and un.
derstood In this discussion the sectional interest
Of the South should be fairly and ably repre-
sented b4.,s
Designing men have labored successfully To
create the belief that oil who do not approve the
measures called Compromise are disunionists;
and we think it is greatly to be regretted that the
tone, temper, and substance Of the discussions in
the press and in Congress give countenance to
that belief. Now, we do not concur with Mr..
Foote or Mr.. Rhett; on the contrary, whilst We
know that there is a large and influential and in.
creasing party in the North who desire to abolish
slavery in the South, we believe that the neces-
sary consequence of the conflict for power be-
tween the organized parties in the North will be
to create public sentiment in that section more
favorable to the South, if the South will but be
true to themselves, and unite in support of those
who deserve their confidence and support.
The Telegraph" will labor to unite and con-
solidate the South, as the only means Of produ-
cling harmony and concert between the North and
the South. We have our preferences, but as yet
we have no choice among the Presidential candi-
dates. We will support the nominee of the Bal
timore Convention, if we believe him worthy of
our support. We are identified with and will
support the State Rights party of the South, and
this is the position that will urge that party to
assume.
The Telegraph is now published daily at five
dollars per annum, and we propose to issue
weekly at tro dollars per annum, as soon as sub
scribers sufficient to justify its publication are
obtained. We venture to ask the State Rights
Associations, and the Republican party through
out the country to aid us in obtaining subscribers,
as it is our purpose to make the paper worthy OF
their support.
Letters should be addressed to

The CIerka.

lt is understood that the efforts of this paper
to place this most respectable and important class
or public functionaries trectus in curiau are
being seconded in certain high quarters, and that
III the Important matter Of increased pay they
nre to be handed over to the tender mereies Of
Congress.
It is to be hoped that, If the transaction Of
business forms any part of the object Of assem-
bly,, the rights and interests of this least under
stood, but most abused class of men may receive
the attention due to matter of great public in
terest. One would suppose, from the number
OF members prosecuting the agency business, that
the functions and merits Of the clerks would be
well understood and properly appreciated, Ger
tainly no more favorable conjunction of affairs
could arise than the present, when Democratic
Congress may carry out the recommendation Of
a Wing Administration without misconstruction
OF the motive of a good action. Clerk how far
short comes the word of expressing the multifa-
rious and important duties of that officer, en-
bracing, as they generally do the several charac-
ters OF lawyer, judge, and jury ''Only clerk!"-
how grating to the inteiligent sensitive, chival-
rous mind that misfortune, perhaps has placed
in the position, honorable in ITSELF but unfortu-
nately made equivocal by the very powers that
should sustain and encourage it! How humilia-
ting the reflection And, worse, to be tauated,
as he frequently is, that the food raiment, and
cuuoation u ocll uhu lhiniiy uepeuu on Inc Cd
price of any indiOidual whatever, and that his
character and conduct may in times of party ex-
citement be assailed with impunity
Verify, here is a great and good work to be
done. Let Congress remember that they are men
of flesh and blood, as misunderstanding the
same necessities, dispositions, and tastes; and
that this should be So while others, at higher pay
get the credit Of their toll. Let the tenure of
office be where this great people trust their high
est interests las in judges, on good behaviour.
Let the salaries be uniform, to prevent jeaousies.
Let them be liberal, to insure the comfort and
serenity necessary to successful labor, and, more
than all, to secure ''esprt du corps consistent
with the magnanimous country they serve, and
which this infamous system of prescription for
opinions sake has very nearly destroyed.

LOLA MoNTEs.--" 1t has been limited that the
Austrian government nave spies dpgging the steps
of Kossuth, and that Lola MOntes is one ofthem."
Thus says the editor Of one of our Northern
papers We have said some harsh things about
this beautiful, talented, and fallen woman ; but If
such absurd sayings as this are to be used as
means of opposing her, we shall certainly give up
our opposition.
Daily American telegraph., 1851-12-27

We give place with pleasure to the following
communication. The interests of the govern
ment, as well as of individuals having business
with the government, depend so much on the
character and capacity of the clerks, that we de.
sire to see them raised to the highest possible
rank and standing in society. For this reason
we are in favor of adequate salaries and perma-
nent employment; and are opposed to removals,
except for incompetence or other just and mani
fest cause.

FREAK OF FoRTuNE.-The New Orleans
"Crescent" says: Thousands of returned Colifor.
mans will probably recollect the firm Of Priest
Lee & Co.. at Sacramento. They established one
of the first trading houses at that place. before
the town was laid out. They commenced with q
small capital, and in eighteen months were the
possessors Of immense wealth. Two years ago
the firm became embarrassed in consequence of
heavy losses. AT that time Barton Lee, esq, one
Of the senior partners in the house, was the
wealthiest man in Sacramento, his property being
estimated, and probably not much over-estima-
ted at million and half of dollars; but he lost
all in the reverses which involved himself and
partners We are informed, by q late number of
the Sacramento Transcript" that Mr.. Lee is now
at the Sandwich Islands, engaged in his former
occupation, as house carpenter.
