In the State Of New York, on the Legis-
lative ticket, is apout thirty thousand. -
Last year the united vote 6fthe Democrats
and Americans exceeded that Of the Re-
publcans by $4,000. This year, their
vote combined, barley exceeds the Re-
publican vote by 800 or 2,OOO. This
shows a relative Republican gain of 45,

Place the Responsibility where

Let Il be distinctly borne In mind that
the first agitation OF the slavery question
In the new Congress, which Is growing
more intense every day, cngendorlug a
feoling Of sectional bitterness unparallel-
ed In The nations histoy-came from the
Southern or Democratic side Of the
House and Senate. In the former branch
tho Republicans and sincere Ant-Le-
compton Democrats were desirous to
compass an immediate organization and
proceed 10 transact tho oountry's busi-
ness.
| To this the Southern Opposition op.
posed no material obstacle. But oxas.
perSted because conscious that power had
departed from their hands, the Admins
tration or Slave Democracy lighted the
torch Of agitation, and forced the North
ern Opposition to either resent the insult
heOped upon them, or o. quail uuder their
intimidations and threats Tho former
alternative has been chosen, and South
ern blustor has boen met with frmness
and determination which have thrown the
Rgitators into confusion. The FIRST move
ment in the House was made by Clark,
Of Missouri, who set the Slavery question
aaoat, in all the hugoncss OF its propor-
tons. At tthc same time, in the Senate,
Mason, Of Virginia, thrust a iull-grown
nigger upon the attention Of that body
and agitation necessarily followed. But
lct the responsibility rest where il be-
longs. In this instance, as has always
been the case, aggression and agitation
come from Southern Democrats, either
directly or through the fundamentally of
some pitioble doughfeco Of the North.--

The Democratic Anarchy ia the

II any evidence was wanting that the

The right Of rebellion against all pariia-

legislative branch Of the government is
boldly declared by the democracy, and

any doubling Thomases before, now thoy

element. Rule or ruin is the whole sum

SEAMAN AND WENDELL vsDrnsrasD ONE AZ

OTHER.
The Committee further say:n
1t is directly in testimony that one of the
paper contractors told Mr. Seamen that he
could no longer employ party who had, up
to that time, acted as an agent for The receipt
of the paper; and further il appears that the
Superintendent then directed a gentleman,
who spoke to him in behalf of his brother, to
send him to Mr.. Wendell to talk about the
matter. The gentlcman's brother was soou
afterwards employed by Mr.. Wendell to do
the work of an agent at $1,000 per annum.
This person did the work. received the paper,
and saw that it was regularly delivered TO the
Superintendent or his clerk For these ser
vices Mr.. Wendell paid him $1,000, while Mr..
Wendell was recognized as the agent in fact.
for which be received large per centages-
This testimony betrays the important fact,
that the employment of an agent for this duty
was a matter of arrangement between the
contractor and the Superintendent, and that
the agent thus employed did not perform the
little work to be done; but, with the knowl
edge and consent of the contractor and of
the Superintendent, he employed another
person at a small compensation to do it.
Independent of any criminal intent, this
conduct and the relations thus established
were undoubtedly wrong. Mr.. Seaman was
the officer of the Government, whose duty it
was to inspect and if necessary to r,ject the
paper lurlllSDed, WDiIe MIR. NeDdell was the
public printer who used the paper, who knew
the quality of the article and was the only
person likely to complain Of its quality The
Superintendent was a large and constant
borrower from the contractors. and thus far
lost his independence, while the public
printer became the hired agent of the con-
tractors, and was positively interested in the
receipt of their paper no matter how ind;f
ferent lis quality.
FILcHINGs OF SEAMAN AND WENDELL
In conclusion, the Committee say:
Your Committee. find that Mr.. Seaman re-
ceived from the engravers, photographers and
paper contractors, examined during the in
vestigation. in the way of loans chiefly, but a
portion in money direct, about she gross sum
of $50 .000
Your Committee find, as heretofore stated,
that Mir. Wendell received from the paper
shows that he also received from engravers
and photographers, during Mr.. Seaman's super
intendency, about $27 900, making the gross
sum paid to him, as far as ascertained, about |
$50 900.
In addition to these sums there are two |
payments unexplained, the sum of S4,39l go, |
the one cent pound that was contracted to |

More Democratic Very
Ugly Transaction.

In the Senate of the United States on the
lst inst, Mr.. WILSON, of Massachusetts,, NOV
ed TO amend the Post Office Appropriation
bill by cutting down most of the miscellane-
ons items, such as advertising, mail bags,
wrapping paper and post office blanks:
In reference to the blanks he said he was
cognzant OF case where Mr.. Rice, editor of
the Pennsylvania. had contracted for printing
blanks for $4,000 which cost him just S.
900. the profit being divided as follows: fifty
per cent to the Washington Union, five per
cent to Mr.. Appleton, and three per cent to a
paper published in the interest of a member
OF Congress.
Mr. Mason, of Va, said that if the facts
were so, it is due to the Senate and to the
country, to lay the information before them.
Mr.. Wilson reiterated the statement. and
said that Mr.. Rice himselfha said so, and
moreover that the arrangement was with the
cGgnzance of the President of the United
States. EEer.
Mr. Cameron said that the matter was so
notorious that everyb body, except perhaps the
Senator from Virginia, must know all about
il. Mr.. Rice until recently, was a creature
of the Presidents but recently they had had
quarrel, and Mr. Rice went about blabbing
all about it.
Mr. Mason-"Did Mr.. Rice tell the Senator

Mr. Mason-'Did Mr.. Rice tell you sos"
Mr.. Cameron-"I do not speak to Mr.
Rice"
Mr.. Mason-"Then you bring here the ru-
mors and hearsays of the country to make
these grave charges Of fraud"
Mr.. Bigler, of Pennsylvania. said that
extravagaGce there might be in
the printing of these blanks, he could say
that the whole was executed in accordance
with the law; the prices were fixed by law.
Mr.. Bigler then explained the details of the
affair. and added that his colleague was
scarcely justified in these imputations of the
President.
Mr.. Johnson, of Arkansas, while consider
ing the prices for printing these blanks was
too high. could not believe the imputation
cast by the Senator from Pennsy lvania on the
President. No doubt that the Senator him.
self believed it, but he (Johnson) could not
give il credence.
Mr. Cameron said to show his sincerity, he
would move for Committee of Inquiry.
Mr. Wilson's amendment was then adopted
