views of the message concerning Kansas affairs,
may prevent him from thus isolating himself
from his old friends, our earnest wish is that
ne may still find the path open for harmony OF
action on his part with the Democratic party.
A ISLANDER RErUrED.-Though Mr.. Wen
dells friends formally announced yesterday in
the House that he was no longer q candidate
q proper step for him to take-they are not dis
posed to remain quiet under the multitude Of
a.persions upon him which have been published
in the work Of creating sufficient prejudice
against him to bring about his defeat before
the caucus.
Thus, journeyman printer appeals to US to
give place to the following exposure Of the
entire injustice of one of them: ----...
Editor Of the Star: UP to the present time no
part of the printers Of Washington, although,
probably, more particularly interested, both in
dividually and collectively, than all other par
ties, have taken any side in the public discussion
of the printing question, which, for many months
past, has been conducted in a spirit Of so much
acTimony and so much personal bitterness the
part OF certain presses manifestly in the interest
OF cliques iaboring to obtain some portion Of
what they call " The Printing Plunder!n They
have taken no part in this discussion, notwith-
standing their great interest in all questions az
fecting the printing, simply because they have
deemed the pretended disclosures in regard to
the profits and the cost Of the printing of the
last three years as characterized by much igno-
rance, and so evidently actuated by personal con-
siderations on the part of those making them, as
to be sefevident. even to the least Informed per-
son on the subject Of the printing. But some
one, writing over the signature Of GA Journey
man Printer" in yesterdays States, through the
following communication, endeavors to place
nd date far fha init in Halc
position, ], also journeyman printer, feel it my
duty to make counter statement, placing the
true relative position Of printers to that candidate
in proper light.
/" Net the Workingman's Cnndfdate-Ho,c Mr.
Wendell obtained AIS Money Bags
% To the Editor of the States: Mr. Wendell
makes vain glorious boast of being the Work
ingman's candidate and of being sthe only
PRACTICAL printer in the contest fer House Printer,
DC. Now, j merely desire to refer to a single
fact in illustration of his sympathy with the
WoIkingmen of his own printing establishment
which is, that during the present bank suspen-
sion he has, of course, been paid by the Govern
ment in gold, and made his weekly disburse-
ments to his printers in the deprecated currency
OF bank-rass That the House of Representa-
tives may deliver the Workingman from the
hands of such friends, is the earnest prayer of
nard,,toiiing JouRNEYMAN PRINTER"
washington City, Dec. ,, 1857"
Instead of Mr.. Wendell having paid us in de-
preciated currency, he has paid MS i'm a CURRENCY
received in all our banks and readily taken at par
for all our purposes More than that he has voluu
tarily paid most of us SIS per week 81 more than
the current pay demanded by our tariff Of prices,
and more than sufficient to cover the heaviest de-
probation to which a. any time our city paper
has been reduced. While some others have re.
fused to allow us what by the customs Of the
craft we have enjoyed for years as our right
compelling, by their refusal, some of our best
compositors to quit their employment-as did the
" States" not many weeks since-Mr. Wendell
mas always readily granted whatever in reason
. ntT0h nfh i'm
knowing him to be a practical printer, and
regarding him as "the Workinpman's candi
date, ," l make this statement for the simple pur-
pose of correcting the gross injustice intended by
the States Of yesterday, and in doing reflect
the sentiment and wishes Of number Of the
resident printers of this city.
ANOTHER Jour. PRINTER
Washington, Dec. g, 1857.
Nor Solver since Governor Walker. by
way Of justifying his opposition to the policy of
the Democratic party upon the question of the
admission of Kansas on the Constitution framed
by the late Convention, started his upfounded
story concerning the tenor of that instrument,
backing it up by the further story that its ac-
ceptance by Congress would produce revolu-
ton in the Territory, we have found the latter
roorback apparently systematically repeated
in all the presses wherein the pen of the Wash
ington correspondent of the Baltimore SIN,
over the signature Of "Ion'' appears-the
Washington States, New York Journal of
Commerce, Baltimore Sun and others. Thus.
in the Sun of this morning, he writes as fol-
lows:
" That Kansas has occupied too much of pub
lie attention hitherto is undoubtedly true The
question Is, how TO get rid of il IL the Lecomp-
ton Constitution be adopted by Congress 1T will
not be peace, but sword That must be ad-
United, even by the most strenuous of the SUD-
porters Of that Convention
Now, we have to say that there is no more
truth in this story than there was in its fellow,
which declared that the tenor of the Constitu-
ton was such as that its authors endeavored to
conceal its provisions from public scrutiny;
which has already been so signally exploded.
The only possible attempt at revolution
that can occur in Kansas, will come, if at all,
from her persistent revolutonists, Jim Lane,
Robinson d Co., by and through the aid and
comfort they are now receiving from a small
faction there claiming to be especial friends of
Gov. Walker. With such Indictment to rebel.
hon az they are receiving from Gov Walker
and his newspapers in the east, and his party in
the Territory, it would not be remarkable if
Jim Lane and his followers were to attempt the
that they have 50 long and so persist
emily threatened. Those who predict any such
state of things are desperate politicians, with
whom the wish is father to the thought They
are simply aiming to create an anti slavery
Democratic party at the North, for the benefit
Of Gov. Walker.
MAINE HOSPITAL AT wARRrNeroN.-Tbe
iensdcold observer complains bitterly that
though the Government some time since appro,
priated S25 900 for a frst-class hospit at that
place, nothing has yet actually been done The
ST Mark. hospital, for which an appropriation
was made at the same time, is already erected -
The above statement, which we find in a city
is incorrect in several particulars.
The appropriation mentioned was not for
marine hospital at Warrington, but at Pensa-
cola, at which place the Department is anxious
and ready to build it, but the authorities of
Pensacola have persistently refused permission
for its erection within the limits of that CITY.
