general and vague hint, first given in the Herald.
Some of these orgsns now and then leak little on
purpose, to crafty feelings against members of
their own party, reudily understood by those who
know the relations existing between different ciques,
and to obtain, if possible, some reputation for
honesty and independence. We received and have
preserved many curious and interesting communi-
cations in relation to these claim, but sufficient
has oozed out through the ealy vessels Aforesaid,
to demand the structures and comments made by

FLORIDA INTEREST CLAIMS AND MsxlcAN
CLAMs.-A letter from George Mackay, Esq,
counsellor at law, Of Washin ston city, the agent
and attorney for many Of the Florida claims, being
an exposition Of them, which he deems called for
by references to them in the newspapers, n con
neetion with Mr.. Corvin, appears to-day. The
Herald has expressed no opinion against these
claims or the justice and proprety Of their being
allowed by Congress. Ii had but limited authentic
inform alton as to their merits or demerts; but il
did say, that the proper tribunal to allow them,
under the circumstances, was not the Treasury De-
psrtment, till expressly authorized sy Congress,
and IL did denounce the corrupt and corrupting
practice Of Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress, and cabinet officers, and heads Of bureaus,
and clerks at Washington, (though the latter are
the most excusable), being concerned in any
claims, just or unjust, indsputable or doub .ful,
either as lawyers, agents, counsel, or purchasers,
and whether the claims were before Congress, or
before departments or bureaus, or "boards" there.
This was the error in the Galphin case. And we
take this 'ccason to remark tha. with respect to
MIR. Corwin, the Herald has not, dire ,tly or indi-
rectly, made any charge to the facts Of his in
terest or his course, in the Florida cases.
The facts have all been furnished by the RsppLic,
the Tribune, the Journal Of Commerce, and other
presses, mostly administration organs, or claiming
to be such. We took the allegations a. ma ie in
such papers, and repubshed them, preferring to do
that, to giving statements Of circumstances sent to
u.s. less favorable to the Secretary than those which
did appear. Our comments and structures we're
upon his conduct, IL was represented by his own
friends, and we used no language Of condemnation
that VIC have yet any reason to regard as harsh or
uncalled for. We know Of nothing in the history
Of the government that deserves reprehen 81 On
than Mr.. Corwin's conduct, If the facts stated by
the "orgats" be true. The proprety Of his course
does not depend on the justness VI the Florida
claims, in any degree.
The very Qualifications and defences made in be-
half Of Mr. Corwin we're the most unfavorable facts
agains, him. commented upon by the Hrad The
predicament in which Mr.. Corwin found himself On
becoming Secretary Of the Treasury, and having
the decision Of the case in which he had been
counsel, cast upon him by Law, and the course
pursued to shirk out Of this difficulty by reference
Of the case 10 the Secretary Of the Navy and At
torney General, proves our views were sound But
the claimants should not be prcjudiced by MIR. Cor
wins connection with one or more of the cases
We trus, Congress will pass a law next session,
making Il q high misdemeanor for any pu olic
functionsry or officer becoming directly or indi.
rcstly concerreI in claim against the United
states.
