GOVERNMENT INTERFERENcE.-We had thought
that the universal Indignation felt and nantes
ted, in terms of bitter reproach, by the people
OF this country, on account Of the wanton and
unprecedented interference of the general gov
eminent in the disposal of the custom house
patronage, in New York, would deter the ad-
minstration forever AFTER from intermeddling
with matters that did not concern it. But APP
pears that the warnings then uttered, have been
forgotten. We stated few days ago, that
contribution had been levied, upon the clerks
of the various departments of the general gov
eminent, for the purpose of aiding the admin
at the late election We so stated on the au
thority of reliable witnesses. but lest there
should be some doubt, in regard to the truth of
this charge Of corruption, we would call the
Washington Union upon the stand. In refer
ring to the assertion made by the Organ that the
had levied upon the clerks, mes
sengers and employees of the government, for
the purpose of purchasing votes, in Maryland,
the Union says:
"The know nothing papers are excessively
indignant because collection was raised in one
Of the departments of this city for the purpose
Of assisting the democratic cause in the city of
Baltimore at the approaching election, and
grave charges are hurled against one of the
chiefs of the department alluded to for his ex-
ertons in recommending these contributions.
We confess that we see no grevous harm in
III this natter
Thus we see, the Union makes no attempt to
leny the fact that the officers of the general
government have sought by bribery and cor
upton, to defeat the will of the people, in the
state of Maryland, and in such a glaring out
age against justice and right, it sees no grev-
us harmp' The Organ thus Indignantly COM
nents upon this confession of the Union
It's no harm, says the the Union, to demand
the employees of the government contri-
uton to bride the Maryland electors 1t is no
arm for the administration. by its power and :
atronage, to endeavor to corrupt the election
, Maryland. Its no harm to defeat the will
the people of Maryland by bribery and cor
lption. Il is no harm to purchase the reelec- c
on of hon. Henry May. It is no harm to in t
uce men to violate the constitution of their I
wn state by offers of federal gold.' The r
roof of bribery against any citizen of Maryland t,
rever dlstranchises him, yet the Union re- 0
ards the attempt to induce one to commit the
fence as harmless. We have been taught to ly
,lieve that the accomplice of criminal, or the n
'ettor of crime, was equally guilty with the Il
imlnal who has been tried, convicted, and cl
nsigned to a loathsome dungeon, but the Uni pr
sees 'tno grievous harm in all this matter" tn
