from the Star and other Washington news
papers. If there be an undue share of time
serving and corruption in "Washington So
ciety,'' it arises wholly from the fact that the
sessions of Congress bring hither crowds of
persons of the profession of this correspondent
-"borers'-who are any and everything, to
any and everybody for pay. They are not cit
liens of Washington, having not the slightest
identification with this city. The moral Of
their example, we are free to confess, has bad
effect here, corruptiDg the manners and habits
of the young, and Of strangers, who seeing
more of them than of business citizens of
Washington, are prone to leave US impressed
with the idea that they are fair representatives
Of Washington society" So far as his ALE
CATION that the Washington public look rather
to the views of persons welding pens like his,
and as his is welded, for guides for their views
and conduct in public affairs, we have simply
to remind him that all the Washington world
know that his opinions and representations,
both of measures and men, are almost as open
ly sin the market" as the butter and vinegar
they pay for, for their tables. Knowing we'll
that upon Texas bonds, railroads, patent extern
sions the protection question, &C., &C., his
views are regularly and Systematically paid
for, in cash in hand or contingencies, and will
assume, in all cases, the hue which pays best,
they have little faith in his attempt to puff
their interest at the expense Of the press Of
Washington city. Oflate, he has been engaged
in putting few members Of Congress, ad
naHseanns He has carried that folly to such a
point rs to make the recipients of his purchased
praise, the ridicule Of the town. Himself an
ofice-holder through their exertions, he gives
them guild pro quo, until his labors to repay
