Senator A c. DoDss Of Iowa in his usual
powerful argu,nensatve manner; Gen. Dodge
sdete11ed the demoeracy in an address "f an
hour and a quarter. and d,ns iall justice to whig.

johnson allowed the 0alphin swindle to his
colleague Crawford, in Gen. Taylor's time, and,
it 10 thought that it will be an improper appoint
men, even if Gen Scott should succeed to the
Presidency. But, no wing can ever be fairly
elected President Of the U. g. Those that have
succeeded, have been smuggled into the Presi-
d.ncy, and 10 satisfied am Of this fact, that,
Providence has always furnished the wings for
the Perpetration Of their frauds, by removing from
the stage of action, those, who have lent theme

daily occupation,-and 40 exertIon 10 spared,
in loading the Post Office with deceptive doc

that leaves this city. One thing is certain, that
much reform is needed in the Post Ofice in this
city, a. it 10 very evident, that wings are more
certain of receiving their documents, than the
democratic subscribers, because complaints
croud thick upon US from, our friend. At dis
lance, when, no complaint eliminates from the
wing party. Something is therefore wrong in
the outset, but, see no remedy until next
March.
The President, and Secretaries Webster,
Stewart and Kennedy are absent from the city.

Hubbard, has not yet arrived, but, that makes
no difference, the worthless Of the Government,

Rumor says, that Mr.. Corwin will have next
Congress, short financial report, and, notwith-
standing all the galphin and Gardner screws

next report. think myself it would be as
we'll. Whiggery knows nothing about creating
a revenue tariff, but, they know how to pocket

policy Of Robert J. Walker. The fact 10 tina,
on the SUBJECT Of finance, Mr.. Walker is the
most distinguished man of the age; and, his
policy, IL found to be, the surest and safest
scheme, from which a revenue is to be derived
in that abundance, that will support and sustain
this great and glorious republic.
You will see IN the Union Of this date, an
abstract of the legal pay that Gen. Scott has
received since engaged in the public service =
Total legal compensation 1881 1856 40
Total Extra allowances while
drawing his annual pay ls,532,96
Amount withheld by Gen. Scott,
(money he received in Mexlco) 1881
Monies received by Gen. Scott I'M
accounted for l2,e73,03
Total $29O,577,ls
Thus your readers will see, hat the wing can
didate for the Presidency has only received the
snug sum of $500, 577,lS, from the public crib.
That he has been pampered and fed at tie pub
lie expense to the tune Of upwards Of seuen
thousand dollars per year, for every day he has
seen the public service. Receiving two COM
pensations for the same period of service. Such
is the wing candidate for the Presidency, and
the documents prove him nothing less.
Yours.
