FACTS WORTH REMEMBERING.

Tie Administration of Mr. FILLMORE was signally
abused by the Democratic organs, especially by the
"Union'' in Washington, for its extravaganza"
waste of the public money" "profuson," &c. No
Administration was ever purer, not even that of
GEORGE WASHINGTON and JOHN QUINCY ADAMS,
the Iurest we ever had but it was, nevertheless,
pronounced extravagant and corrupt, just as John
Quincy Adams's was. Time, however, Facts and
Figures, in the end, set all right with the inteli-
gent mind.

NOTE BY THE EDITORS.

In giving place to the above, from source
friendly to the Administration, we must express
doubt Of the correctness Of the statement Of IoS
which has given occasion to the remarks Of our cor
respondent We take the Secretary of the Interior
to be too judicious and too republican statesman
to establish principle SO subversive at once Of the
purity Of elections and the public interest. If one
Congressional candidate were to have electioneerng
capital Of four cerkships his successor at the next
election must be entitled to the same and thus the
changes in the Government bureaus would become
biennial, and the wheel Of official appointment be
made to revolve with rapidity destructive of
all experience and all fitness for official duties,
and detrimental in the highest degree to that branch
Of the public service. We see that in England men,
Der Of Parliament has been held corrupt and criminal
for having promised elector an Office for his sup
port but to give to each of our candidates Of the
dominant party the privilege Of four Offices with
which to tamper with voters, would be sanctoning
corruption in our representative Democracy which
is held criminal in representative Monarchy But,
az we have said above we think too highly Of the
Secretary of the Interior and Of the whole Admin
istration to credit the statement
