THE REPU BLIC.
WASHINGTON:
WEDNESDAY, MORNING. FEB. le, 1858.


Congress.
In the Senate yesterday the Deficiency bill
was considered till two o'clock, when 1t was
laid aside, and the resolutions of the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations, on the subject of the
right of way across Tehuantepec, were taken
up, and debated by Messrs. HALE and BROOKE.
The House of Representatives passed the bill
of the Senate amendatory Of the several acts
relating to coinage, and afterwards went into
Committee of the Whole on the state of the
Union upon the Post Office Appropriation and
the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bills
respectively The first-named was laid aside
to be, and was afterwards, reported to the
House; and while the latter was before the
body debate ensued, involving, almost exclu-
sively, the question of the causes of the delay
in transacting the public business.
The New York Tribune contained some
days since an impertinent paragraph in relation
to the Republic. The assumed cause of offence
was the expression of hope ON our part that
General PIERCE would introduce no Disunion-
lists into his Cabinet. The real cause of of
fence was the fact that we had sustained a
WING Administration in carrying out the Com
promise measures of Mr.. CLAY Because we
have been guilty of this crime the Tribune
and its allied presses in the State of New York
have denounced us with an insolence and bitter
ness which indicate that in essential WING prin-
ciples they are farther removed from the friends
of Mr.. CLAY, Mr.. WEBSTER, Mr.. FILLMORE,
and the delegates to the last National Vino
Convention, than they are from GIDDINes,
PREsToN KING, CLEVELAND, SoULE, OUR
MAN, and JEFFERSON DAVIS
Reaffirming our hope that General PIERCE
will exclude from his Cabinet every member of
his own party who has sought the dissolution
Of the Union, we shall address ourselves more
particularly to the article which we copy in
another column from the Tribune of the 9th
instant.
The Tribune commences with the allega-
ton that we represent mere "cligue" in our
political opinions; claiming for itself the credit
of being the orthodox representative of the
WH1G party. We stand on the platform Of tho
WING National Convention of 1852. The Til
bune ''spits'' on that platform, and seeks to
stultify the convention by asserting the belief
that there was at no time majority of the
convention in favor of its adoption. The Fri
bune believes this in the teeth of the following
vote, by which the platform of resolutions was
adontod.

Mr.. FILLMoRE.-A correspondent of the
Rochester On. " .Adoertiser, writing from
this city, says of the President:
Though we differ politically, we cannot but
award to the present Chief Magistrate our admira.
ton for the truly American manners he has intro.
duced into the White House-his unassuming yet
digni6ed manners to all who approach him; for his
peaceful and prosperous administration, and for
his honesty and integrity as neighbor and as
man."

sirable to mix up mere personalities with topics
Of public and political controversy. We are pre-,
pared to part company with the Tribune and
its followers at the shortest possible notice
and if General PIERCE should make the Dis
union Cabinet which the Tribune recon-
mends, the Tribune will have an opportunity
Of proving the sincerity of its advice by COM
ing to the aid of his administration. There is no
journal in the country which has contributed
SO largely to his election as the Tribune, and
we think it is bound to contribute handsomely
to his support.

THE CENSUS CLERK.
Mr.. WALKER moved to strike out the pro
vision in the bill providing that the salary of the
experimenting clerk of the should be three
thousand dollars per annum for the time he ceased
to be Secretary of the Census Board.
Mr. WALKER said that this census had been a
long time preparing; one hundred and sixty clerks
had been employed by this superintendent. They
were he supposed engaged in preparing history
ton he supposed was to enable the superintendent
to complete this history. He was informed, that
should Congress refuse to publish this history on
which these clerks had been employed, it was TO be
published on private account.
MIR. DAVIS referred to the various efforts by the
experimenting clerk of the census to have bis
salary fixed above that determined over and again
by Congr The country would be perfectly
astonished when the cost of this census was known.
It would be found to exceed perhaps the whole
cost OF all the previous censuses. He was informed
that competent person with twenty five clerks
could have completed this whole census in lees
time than the present chief clerk of the with
hls one hundred and sixty clerks. He believed the
present experimenting clerk of the census to be
utterly incompetent to discharge the duties of his
office.
Messrs. MILLER and DAWSON replied and
opposed the amendment.
Without taking the question, the bill was post
poned till to- morrow.

was more reliable exponent than WASHING
TON of the rights and duties of the American
people.
1t was not the first or second OF these resolu-
tions that drove away Wines from the support
of General ScoTT. 1t was the belief that his
nomination was sought and obtained by the
Tribune and by men who agree with that
journal; men who prefer KossurH's doctrines
to those Of WASHINGTON, and with whom hos
tility to slavery is stronger principle than
love of the Union. 1t was this belief that
gave General PIERCE ten thousand majority in
the city of New York, the particular seat of
the 'ssagacious" labors of the Tribune.
Aud now one word as to ssminor matters"
The Tribune seems to think that it thrives on
cleaner money than comes from the treasury,
and intimates that the Republic has been de-
pendent on a kind of assistance which it dis
dams. We beg to inform our arrogant con-
temporary that we owe nothing to the Admin
istration, saving only the respect which is due
to it from every citizen for its wisdom, patriot
ism, and integrity. We have solicited no favors
from it and received none. We have done
that for the Administration which the Admin
istration could not do for itself; for we have
sustained, at the seat of Government, journal
devoted to the exposition of Its policy and the
Independent maintenance Of its measures, with
no other aid from WING Administration or the
Wing party than that which is derived
from the ordinary business of a newspaper and
its individual subscriptions. It were easy for US
to retort upon the Tribune in regard to the
sources of its emoluments, did we deem it de-.

tagonist repulsons, to withdraw from the party
The Tribune has from first to last contended for
the old landmarks-for the hitherto recognised
liberty to differ all questions essential to the
platform proclaimed by the Wing National
Conventions of 1892 and 1914, and tacitIy acoui
esced in by those of 1889 and IS4S, affirmed The

other words, it affirmed the policy of benehcence

ter, we hoped to live and die Wing.

TRIAL BY JURY.-Judge Hurd Of the
Knox county Common Pleas, has decid-
ed on a writ Of error that The trial before
jury Of six men in the Probate Court is
invalid. He holds that the constitution
means jury Of 10 men-no less. A
general ruling in the same way would
put an end 10 criminal prosecutions re :
quiring jury lrial in the Probate Court
until The law can be altered Union.
We doubt its becoming general, Or the
necessity Of alteration OF the law. The
trial by jury does not find its virtue in
mere numbers, and because IL has been
held the number Of a petit jury, il does
not necessarily result that this cabalistic
number SO goes to the essential character
Of trial jury that The word must always
