against the United States In the absence OF con-
tract to pay IT, even in of long delay under
vexatious and oppressive circumstances, as this
would render necessary the exercise OF q vague

an incident to Ms dsbt, at common law, is always
founded upon the agreement of the parties 10.

existed to the present time, except when dispensed

WORTHY OF THE MAN.-Millard Fillmore, In a
speech which he made in Fredericksburg, Virginia,
in 1851, gave utterance to the following noble SEN
timent
"When look back to the crisis through which
we have passed, feel that there pas danger that
the days of the Union were numbered I>deter-

approve and sustain it, that no portion Of the
appropriation had been promised TO our con-
temporary and his eight white slaves in Con-
gress. They should bear in mind that our
contemporary may have had other than pecu-
MARY interests in the appropriation, and such
as are not disreputable to him.
Why, no one can have an idea, who has not
had some knowledge of the habits" of our
contemporary, what quantity of aoafer with
soap and sand added) is necessary for his own
ablution daily, and in this alone is found an
incentive to the advocacy Of this measure,
without ascribing to him pecuniary motive
for his efforts in its behalf
The only fault which our contemporary CON-
mitted in relation to this appropriation was,
that he did not oppose il, and thus insure its
success but, under the circumstances" we
cannot conscientiously attribute to him de-
sire to defeat the appropriation by its advoca-
cy, though such was the result; nor can we
censure him for not opposing il, when he sin
cerely wished its adoption, and when to oppose
what he wished adopted would have been a di-
rect admission that his prominent traits Of
character as journalist are now universally
understood. II is the right of our Black mail
contemporary to assume, If he chooses, (for no
man is required 10 criminate himseJ) that
there are those who will give him credit for
sincerity in what he may inditc, for or against
any public measure, though we apprehend
such persons to be few and far between"
Nop, "under the circumstances" we would
fain hope that those members of Congress who
opposed the appropriation Con the suspicion
that fee Of $4,000 had been demanded by
our contemporary and his "eight members Of
Congress" in accordance with his "habit" as
general Congressional 6roker,) will, at some
not very distant day, permit this important
work to be continued and completed. Even
Suppose that our contemporary will himself
such quantities soffjtsd 81 ptsl BY the introduction
will facilitate his necessary diurnal abicusry. icay a.
will anybody complain of it, when it is con
sidered how much such ablutions would con
tribute to the purity Of the atmosphere, an,
by natural consequence, to the health of tn
city? Certainly not We believe that, before
Congress adjourns, this desirable work will
receive the necessary aid from Congress, not
withstanding the injury done to the measure
by the suspicious advocacy of it, in the journa
under charge of our contemporary.

Hon. Lewis ID. Campbell.

The Cincinnati Gazette has speech from Hon.
Lewis d. Campbell, defining his position" 1t
has good deal of antslavery sentiment in it, but
the love of Sam" abounds for which Mr.. G. has
beed SO much denounced by the foreign and abo-
lition presses Mr.. Campbell charges his defeat as
Speaker in part upon Messrs. Schouler and Follet,
who were ambitious to be made Printers of the
House, and in part upon Greeley & Co, who would
never forgive him for his Americanism, and who
were determined to prosecute him for this to the
end Of the long contest for Speaker, he says:
:" The difficulty was inIthe printing business.
Why such eagerness for New England Speaker
Because, with New England Speaker the print
ing, 1t was expected, would be conceded to the
West, and Schouler and Follet would grasp the
golden prize while If there was q Western Speak
er, the printing would have to be given to some
Eastern man. There was the tight place. The So
called contest was not about the Speaker. It was
the printing and the binding behind it,"
Mr.. Schouler, (who has taken leave of the Ga
zette with the view of going into commercial busi-
ness,) denies all this, and says that he was the
friend of Campbell all through, &c. He records
several interviews with Mr.. Campbell to urge him
to Withdraw, and it seems that others were urging
him TO the same work. We quote paragraph TO
show who il was:
The next morning called to see him, and he
told me that Thurlow Weed, Mr.. Matteson, and
others, had been to see him, and bad advised him
to decline, and he supposed that he would do it,
but he believed it to be mistake"

dred. Lots of inferior herring were sold at much
lower figures"
The Fredericksburg News has an interesting &C
count of fishing shore near the mouth Of Aqua
Greek. II is in letter from the editor, and he
says:
Fishing on the Potomac, am satisfied, is a
science and an art, requiring cool head, prompt
decision readiness, precision, energy to save the
seine, and often the lives of the men, as well AZ to
fish skilfully and successfully"
The letter adds
Il heard that ten men were drowned last Satur-
day, by the swamping Of boat at one of the fish
ing shores lower down the river"
