IGNORANCE OR IMpUDENcE.

The Washington Union says ;-'sIt seems
to be yet unknown in certain quarters that
the public treasury is under the protection
of "a Democratic Administration. What can
be more ridiculous, absurd, or disgusting than
such STUFF The implication of the Union is
that the public money is only safe when the
Democrats are in power. And this, too, in
face of the fact, patent, notorious, known to
every body, unless it may be the editors of
the Government organ, that more of the peo-
ple's money was embezzled and made away
with by Democratic ofice-holders, from 1881
to lS41, than the aggregate of all the other
losses incurred by the Government from the
adoption of the Constitution down to the close
of Mr.. Fillmore's administration. The Union
presumes strangely upon the ignorance of its
readers, or it has forgotten the history of the
model Democratic Administrations of jack
son and Van Buren,. - Buffalo Commercial

ExJnOn recent visit Of the IT, s. Steam
er Powhatan. to the island of St. Helena, Ma
poleon's vault was visited by the officers, who
partook of collation. in the bottom of it.
One of them carried with him a stick made
from rib Of our "Old Ironsides," which so
gloriously humbled the British flag and con-
quered those by whom the great chief was
exiled. This was regarded as an interesting
coincidence. The vault is about three miles
from the city, behind a high mountain. Ma
poeon's quarters where he died, are situated
two miles beyond now turned into horse

Ieis gentlemen gave series Of Lectures
IN this place, last week. The interest Of bis
subject-1Inind and its power oyer the men
tai and physical powers Of man, his com
plcte success in his Illustrations drew large
and delighted audiences. On every occasion
when the effort was made, DIR. Spencer OBJ
tanned such perfect control over the mind and
body Of others, that bis will became their will
they having no power to resist--at the
same time being perfectly conscious Of all that
was passing, and sswide awake" Several
gentlemen well known among us, were sub
jecss Of this power, whose integrity and ye-
raclty, no.one does, or can doubt; they we're
so completely under the influence Of DR.. S.,
that they we're induced 10 eat raw potatoe,
believing it fruit Of the finest favor gath
er strawberries where none ever were--to fish
where was no water,---to see objects where
none existed, ito stand without the power to
move ito put the hands and arms in any po-
sitIon without the power ofchange. On We'd
nesday night Of last week, one young gentle
man was given a leaf torn from book, which
he was induced to regard as check for $780,
900, payable in gold at the Bank here, at 10
o'clock the next morning. At the hour APP
pointed, he was at the Bank, and demanded
the money, both at the Bank, and Of the en-
dorser, and when told that the parties had
no fundsin Bank, threatened suit, and it was
80 done, that no one who Witnessed it could,
or did doubt bis sincerity, and when relieved
of this impression by DR.. Spencer, he had no
recollection Of the matter at ALL That all
this was done, we do know,--how it was done,
we do not know. We deem it no part of
wisdom to doubt, because we don't understand,
and to deny fact substantiated by the most
witnesses, aud the testimony of our
,wn senses, is folly. Those thus under the
control of DR. Spencer, declared at the time, !
md since, that they could not resist his will,
iaying proper recollection of what they
we're doing. This power cannot be obtained
ver any one bgkwith his consent, and is val
able for the relief of various diseases, &c.
