Washington correspondence.

NEW 1oRK, Feb. 3.
The Herald's correspondence says: The
Senate Printing Investigation Committee
met this morning. Wendell underwent an
examination of upward Of three hours. II
appeared that some seven or eight parties
were interested in the public printing, viz,
Steadman, Banks, Mclean, Walker, Rice,
Severns, and Bowman. He stated that be
had paid out during the past three wears
over 100000 for party support to newspa-
pers, and in aid of election expenses in Pa.
principally, but extending over N. j., NY:
Nd, Ohio, &c, and considerable had been
paid by official authority, ind some of his
own free will. u
He also stated that by the action of the
Senate in electing Bowman, who had given
the work to Blair Il Rives, he had been left
penniless, with the largest establishment in
the Union lying idle. Bowman's conduct
toward Wendell was shown up in a yery
bad light. Bowman, it appears, has given
part Of the work to levitt, editor Of the Fill,
more organ at Buffalo.
A. ID. Banks and j. o. Severns were also
examined. They did not seem to know
much, except that they received some aid
from Wendell.
Wendell testified that out Of the PostoHice
blank printing he paid, in 1857, the sum of
5000 to the Pennsylvanian newspaper, of
Philadelphia, and TO the Evening Argus of
Philadelphia, the sum of $1,000. He in,
formed the committee that he went into
doubtful Democratic districts in Pennsylyal
mia, and spent money freely for the benefit
of the supporters of the policy of the Ads
ministratiOn.
Mr.. Rice Of the Pennsylvania, was also
before the committee, and did not diseredit
the testimony of Wendell,
The Tribune's correspondent says:

Mr.. Giddings stated his wish to be exam

ton that a note submitted was written at

Its object was to answer q letter from
John Brown, intimating that be would be in
Andover, aud would lecture in jefferson,

The Duty of the Democracy.

From all parts of the country, says the
Hickman (kcntucky) Courier, We discover
evidences of better state Of feeling in the
Democratic party than that which existed
at Charleston. The heated pas ions OF
such as rashly determined to ruin, if they
could not rule, the party at Charleston,
has received the condemnation of the pqo-
pie. The people will not stand idly by,
and see corrupt partisans, for selfish pur
poses, destroy the only national organiza-
ton that can uphold the Constitution and
the Union. The States that seeded from
the Convention will appoint new Set of
delegates. Men of true and tried patriot
ism, whose counsels will add wisdom and
moderation to the Convention, and who
will be acceptable to the whole party.
