Of the National Union Committee has been agreed upon

We rejoice to hear that vigorous Conservative oPpo

os-or such journal has been long the essential want
of the Opposonconservatye party and Of the times We
desire to see Wing paper published at Washington
which will dare to call its soul its Own-which will ferret

in a word will call things by their right names and
spread fdct before the people An Opposition journal IS
of no Washington which keepSts eyes on Federal
patronage and is therefore afraid 10 expose the den-
quences aud denouuce the misdeeds Of the party in pow
err But what is sadly needed there is vigiant, out
spoken independent fearless vigorous journal, which
has no sympathy with either Democracy or Republican
sm aud which will actively scent out and expose the
corruptOns and vlanies Of both and rely for mainte
nance and support exclusively upon the patronage and
goOj-Siu Of the honest and patriotic voters OF the
country Ii public functonary whether high or low,
detected 10, suspected Of defrauding the Government

mote mere party personal objects, tue people want

illusions from them That the duty OF faithful SEN
tiuel upon the watch tower in the Federal Metropolis
and such a sentinel in Washington, during the present
canvass has open before him wide field Of usefulness

The Washington correspondent Of the Herald of

The Covode Committee to-day concluded its testi-
mony. Foruey and Wendell were the last witnesses.
The formers testimony shown 70 the President and
several members Of the Cabinet Among other things,
be stated that he had been offered by Mr. Buchanan the
Consulate TO Liverpool the mission to Russia or Prus
sa if he would acQuesce iu the policy Of the Admins
tr,ton but he declined Mr. Wendell testified that he
carried ten thousand dollars in his pockets for weeks
present 20 Col Foney and if necessary authorized
20 Increase il to twenty TWENTY-FIVE thousand dollars
If he would accept the Liverpool Consulate the mis-
Of the great Powers of Europe; but Forney
declined.
What startling evidence is this Of the corruption de-
prayy and utter rottenness of the great head Of the
Democratic party-eyen the President of the United
States Offering TO FoRNEY the Consulate to Liverpool
or the mission to Russia Prussia and ten twenty, or
twenty-five thousand dollars besides, if he Forrey)
would acqulesce in the policy of the Administration
And vet in face of all these shocking and dsgraceul
hcts-Gcts demonstrating the utter corruption of the
Democratic leaders aud pOucians-he people again
appealed to to support the election of another Democratic
candidate for the Presidency Is /, possible that any
patriotic citizen Of the Republic of any party, will give
