ton of their candidates. They are the men of
the Wing party most devoted to its time hon
orcd principles. They are now the only pro-
tee,ionisss, rs we'll as the only public men who
con strue the rights and duties of the Genera al
Government according to what were held to be
Wing doctrines in the palmiest days of the
Wing party No man in public life is more
strongly committed against every doctrine
which the Scott leaders regard as essential for
the well-being of the country, than Colonel
Benton, except on slavery issues; and however
fixed their views upon such questions, the
Seott-party leaders are too we'll informed and
wise. as statesmen, to sacrifice the great inter
ests of capital tof which they and their prede-
cessors have been the efficient guardians since
the foundation of tn, GoSarnment) to the Chi
mera of electing some one for the sake Of say
ing they have participated in his election, the
force of whose admins; ration, if elected, can
not fail to be directed principally against the

An Important Treasury Department Ru-
ling.-In answer to a recent inquiry, the pro-
per accounting officer Of the Treasury rules
that where an appropriation has by accident.
or mistake, been paid over to party not legally
entitled to the money, the party who may be
so legally entitled, cannot be paid by the Treas
ury Department, the appropriation being ex-
hausted; and that his only remedy is in ask
ing Congress to make a second appropriation
to the same end Such an occurrence, how
ever, is known to have taken place but in two
cases since the organization of the Treasury
Department.

We apprehend that the last mail from Eu-
rope brought to tho President of the United
States the formal resignation of Mr.. Daniel,
u. :. charge to Turin, whom we may shortly
expect to find again on the tripod of the Rich
mond Eramaner. There can be no doubt that
his resignation is now in Washington.
Senator Elect Pugh.-The announcement
in Cincinnati papers that this gentleman is
about to speak at Nebraska bill meeting
il that city, has caused futter in abolition
circles here. 1t was thought, not long since
among the ultra opponents of the bill, that
pathise with them.
The chargeship to Buenos Ayres, now filed
by Mr.. John S. Pendleton, of Virginia, very
staunch Whig, it is believed, will very shortly
be placed in the hands of some supporter of
the Administration. The Democratic poll.
ticians of Congress, We are satisfied, conceive
that Mr.. P. will be recalled in thirty days, the
difficulty being only in determining upon whom
to bestow the position.

Coast Of Texas, and Keepers thereof Ap-
pointed.-At Choppers bar, VIM. Hull, at
