We really feel sorry that the Gazette CAM
get up quarrel with somebody. The editor,
in his last paper, takes occasion to write
down Governor Grimes and his Inaugural
Address at terrible ate, and tells its read
ers that the Governor is "iar," and the
Inaugural full Of s.falsehood!'' And then,
like Pat at Donnybrcok fair he dares any
body to step on his coat tail! He sets out
the address, as Bomhastes FuriosO did his
boots, and challenges the world! But week
or two ago, he took occasion to call the Gov
crnor ssliar," through his parer-said he
had done it often before, 1--WE doubt j. MT, J
and that the Governor or his friends had taken
no sort of notice of it! And then he dared
as to defend his Excellcncy!
may be well to say here, that we are no,
in the habit of discussing political questions
with men who employ epithets such as are
very plentifully sprinkled in the Gazette's
article. Gentlemen are not in the habit Of
using language towards one another such al
is found in the article referred to. Mr.
Grimes is, by the voluntary SURFACES of ma
jority of the People, Governor of Iowa. Tn
insane rawlings of the Gazette will only hav'
the effect of making the editor ridiculous hi
impotent rage and malice will have no proto
type except in the case of the dog and tn
moon! There is nothing dangerous abou
the concern except its friendship

CO The Davenport Gazette. after stating
that the Burlington Hawk-Eye of Saturday
was guessing at the length of tho Presidents
Message, when the Gazette had published that
document on the day previous, takes occasion
to remark upon our out of the way, in the
backwoods, position. And, although the fact
is not sta,ed, it is a fair presumption, that
our benighted condition is yearned over with
bowels of compassion ty the editors of that
Metropolitan print. For their edifcation,
and in order that they may not waste too
much of their sympathy upon us, we will in
form them that travellers have no trouble in
reaching US in about the same time they do
Davenport, but We are so unfortunate as to
have to wait for our mails to come round by
that place, AMI hence the delay. The Message
which they tell us they published SO promptly,
did not reach here for at least three days,
and not till after our subscribers had it in
the Hawkeye. When we get our mails over
our own Road, we shall probably be able to
furnish the Gazette with the news, in which
case we shall try to do it without m king a
very great flourish of trumpets.

express provision OF law requiring the records and papers
of public character of the several officers of the govern
men be left in their Offices for the use of their success
sOrs nor any provision declaring felony on their part to
make false entries 10 the books or return false
In the absence OF such provision by law outgo
ing officers, many instances have claimed and exercised
the right to take into their possession important
books and papers, the ground that these were their
private property and have placed them bcyond the reach
of the government Conduct of this character brought in
several instances the notice of the of
the Treasury, naturally awakened his suspicion and
suited in the disclosure that four ports namely Oswego
Toledo, Sandusky, and Milwaukee, the treasury had by
false entries been deauded within the four years next
preceding March, 1853 of the sum of one hundred and
nnety-ei thousand dollars The great difficulty with
which the detection of these frauds has been attended
consequence of the abstraction of books and papers the
retiring officers and the facility with which similar frauds
in the public service be perpetrated render the
cesy of new legal enactments the respects above
erred to- quite obvious. For other material notifications
of the revenue laws which desirable refer
you to the report of the Secretary of the Treasury That
report and the tables which accompany it, furnish ample
proofs of the solid foundation which the financial
ry of the country rests and of the sautay influence of
the Independent treasury system upon commerce and all
monetary operations.
