We cut the above, heading and all, from the
Albany Atlas, as a specimen of the tone which
characterizes the assailants of the Admins
tratOn.
Mr.. STUARr's recommendation rests upon
considerations which few who are familiar with
official life in Washington will attempt to gain
say. That the expenses Of household here
have increased largely since the salaries of Cabi-
net officers were fixed, and that those expenses
continue to increase at rate which must render
it impossible for gentlemen not possessed Of Prl-
vate fortunes to hold the most responsible ap-
pontments, are facts which have for some
time past been acknowledged by public men,
irrespective Of party obligations. Mr.. STUART
has had opportunities of verifying the state
ment in his own experience, and he communi-
Gates it to Congress as a matter nearly affect
ing the interests and comfort Of his successor.
Notwithstanding the sneers of the Atlas, there
are few candid men who do not admit that the
suggestion comes with good grace from one
who is about to retire from the position which
is to be benefited by the change. Whatever
be thought Of the plan itself, none save the
Atlas has yet ventured to impugn the motives
which prompted its promulgation. Right or
wrong, it is AT all events unselfsh.

We insert heightened communication from
Mr. BENNETT in explanation and defence of
his bill for the distribution of a portion of the
public lands. The correspondence between
Colonel BENTON, and Senator DopGE, of Iowa,
was calculated to mislead the country in re-
gard to the provisions and tendencies Of the
measure; and Mr.. BENEFITS statement merits
attention as an exposition of facts pertinent to
the question, and of considerations that must,
we think, commend themselves to the cool
Judgment of both East and West.
A second letter from Mr. BENNETT, in reply
to Mr.. DoDGE's objections, will be published

to the appropriate committees the various
branches of the Presidents annual message.
They rejected the proposition of Mr.. Books,
to refer to select committee, with instruc-
tons, that portion of the message which relates
to the tariff and revenue from customs, after
loading it with amendments in favor of the ad
valorem principle, free. trade, and direct Taxa
