TAXATION OF GFFICE-HOLDERS.
The National Inlelligencer publishesa portion
Lfihe testimony taken before the Investigating
Committee at New York, which affords indis-
putable evid_cnc,e of “the patronage of the Go-
.yemn;en,t," in that city, being habitually and
systematically brought “ into conflict with the
[reedoin of elections."
Anni S. Depeyster, who has been until very
itecently an officer attached to the Custom
House, in New York. in answer toquesiions
put. by the committee, testified as follows. in
presence of the collector:
, “’I‘_l_ie weighers were called.ou to pay $15
each for the support ofthe election, and when I
declined, M r. Vanderpool, the Deputy Surveyor,
observed that I ought to consider whether my

years. I was occasionally called on. but always
declined until the last two years.

from the weighers. He had 8 lI8l Ofllle Defies

amount was from twenty dollars to one hundred

lollars. The tax was pro rata according to
salary. It bore a proportion of from one to six
per cent. Ifrequently paid a partoflbeamouni;
when it was too high, and more than I could
afford. I urged them to reduce; in one instance,
when I was assessed twenty dollars, M r. Swan-
wout told the collector ofthe tax that ten dollars
was enough for me to pay. For a few years
back I have not paid any thing to the General
Committee, because Icould not afliird to pay
the amount assessed. and because I could not
conscientiously longer sustain the party. The
collectors ofthe Taininany Hall General Coin-
zriiiiee, one of whom was John Becker. called on
me several times. VVilliam Tyack once or twice
called on me to collect the amoiini with which l
was assessed; he was not the regular collector.

that the Iloco-Foco candidate for Governor of
this state, Jo/in Jll. Niles. bad the effronlery to
attempt a vindication of these outrageous
abuses on the floor ofthe U. S. Senate! Have
we any reason to doubt that the \Vhigs of this
state will have to contend at the approaeliing
election, in the same manner that the Whigs of
New York did with the concentrated power of
the General Governiuent? Heie we have the
cvidcgcc of the fact, which the Whig presslong
ago asserted, that the very money of the people
themselves was used by their public servanisio
promote the‘ interests ofthe Exeeulive—interests
at war with the wishes of the people and
the welfare of the country. ‘This charge
can no longer be denounced in the current argu-
ment of the-Loco-Focus as “ a lVhig lie ;” for
it is proved by evidence wrung from the very
office holders themselves. And what stronger
and more coneliisiveiesiiniony can be demanded ?

AMOS _KENI)ALL HEBUKITD.
Mi. Tallinailge. 11 month and n lialfago, in-
irodueeil into the U. S. Senate a resolution in
the usual form, seeking information from the
Post Office Department, relative to certain re-
movalsfromotlice since -1111 Marcli. 1837. This
long interval of iime elapsed, Congress was on
ibe point of rising, and still the Postmaster
General disdained to respond to the humble re-
quest ofibis, the higliesi branch ofthe people’s
Legislature. Still desirous of obtaining the in-
formation before Congress adjourned, and be-
Iieviug that the Senate hail a right. by the law
and the cusioni to ask it of Mr. Kendall, the
Senate passed a resolution, on the motion of
Mr. Tallmud,s_>,e, calling upon the Postmaster
General to inform the Senate, without delay,
why he had not communicated tothe Senate the
desired information.
His bighness, Mr. Kendall, thereupon sent
the information called for to the Senate, and
coacluderl his communication in the following
‘.angi;agc——-“The only reason I have to give
why it has not been before communicated is,
that it was not ready.”
Mr. Tulluiadge called the all__€lll_lOn of the
Senate to the extraordinary language of this
(.‘0lllll1lllll_Otlll()l]. lle regarded it as an insult to
the body, but on-izig to his connection with the
resoluiion that called it forib, he left to Senators
who appreciated the importance of maintaining
ihe dignity and honor of the body to take such
course in regard to it as they thought proper.
Mr. Savior. of Arkaiisas. a frierirl of the ad-
uiiiilsiratioi), suggested the propriety of reIiirn-
ing the conimuuicatiori to the President, with a
request llliglllle Postmaster General be dismissed
front ojfice. On considering, however. that the
power of removal wastbe exclusive prerogai.iv_e
ofthe President, Mr. Sevier modified his resolu-
iioii so as to read as follows :
Resolved, That the Postmaster General's letter
to IliePresidcmof the Senate stating that the
only reason why he had not sent an answer to a
previous resolution, was because it was not ready,
is -considered by the Senate as disrespectful to
’ zliat body.
Aficir some remarks from Mr. Crittenrle-n, and
also Mr. Foster, the resolution was adopted, by
the following unusual majority. Yeas 38, nays 8.
Among the nays, we are not at all surprised
to find the names of Messrs. Nile: and Smith of
Conn.
After some further remarks by several mem-
bers, the Senate passed the following additional
resolution, which brings the case before the
President, and enirusts him with the responsi-
bility of iriaintainingihe decency of hisown cabi-
net, and of defending the honor ofthe Senate, to
wit:
Resolved, That said letter, with the resolu-
tion to which it purports to be an answer, be
laid before the President of the United States
for such action as he may deem proper.
This resoluiion was adopted by a vote of31 to
15. Among the nays we again find the names
of Niles and Smith of Conn.
The request of the Senate, and the answer of
the Postmaster General were. in substance,
these: -
Senatc.—Wby have you not answeied our
resolution ? _
Postmaster G-cneral.——None of your business.
Amos was frightened, and forthwith sent an
apology iotbe Senate. A resolution was there-
upon introduced by Mr. Allen of Ohio, declar-
ing the apology satisfactory. This resolution,
(according to the Madisooian, from which we
have compiled the foregoing) was passed by
stealth.’ -
A wrctch, who ran away from Massachusetts
for fear of being convicted of misdemeanors, has
been appointed to a posimastership in the interi-
or of New York, and is still retained in the of-
fice. " Like master- like servant."—Madi.so-
nian.
Maine.——The President’s Message has ex-
cited universal dissatisfaction among the peo-
ple of Maine._ It has, in fact, turned most of
his old partizans against him, and madethem
Whigs. The Maine papers say that Gov.
Fairfield will not withdraiv the state troops
from the frontier, but occupy and protect
the disputed territory up to the line claimed
by Maine as the true boundary, All re-
mained quiet atlthe last advices.
Laterfrom llifai7ie.—_-By accounts from Maine
up to the 7th inst. we learn that Gov. Faii-field
had not communicated with the Legislature re-
specting the President’s Message—but bad or
dered the State forces to proceed to the erection
of fortifications near the line. Every thing in
that vicinity wears a belligerent aspect—..a!l the
forces called out are ordered to the disputed ter-
ritory—and the streets ,of Bangor are crowded
with teams, constantly arriving and departing
with ammunition, arms and stores for the Aroo-
stock.
The Nova Scotia Legislature have seconded
the determination of New-Brnnwick, and have
voted ineu and-money to sustain the pretensions
of-Sir John I~Iarve_v. Sir John Colborne has
placed five reginicnts of the line at his disposal,
and the ‘British Regulars and Militia are con-
centrating at Madawaska and on the Aroostook.
“ The work goes bravely on.”——The N.
Y. \Vhig of Monday says: “ The t/iird ‘so-
ber thought oftlio People’ is just coiningiin
from a good part of the interior of our State.
It is very much the same with their first and
second thoughts-—only rather more so.”——
The tenor of the returns is most cheering.
We shall give some particulars in our next.
In Maryland, the special elections have
thus far all resulted in favor of the ‘Whig
party. '
'ADJOURN.MEl\"l‘ OF CONGRESS.
The 25th Congress terminated on Sunday
eieniiig at 12 o'clock. Both Houses adjourned
ata quarter before2 o'clock thereafter. The
last days and hours ofthe session, were industri-
ously improved, and a great variety and quanti-
ty of business was transacted. As usual, it was
c'Jmp.'__e_ssed into the last moments ofthe session.
\Ve ‘shall publish a lisioftbciacts that have pass--
ed,-hereafter.
The Sub-Treasury sleeps, and no powercould
wake it into life.
The bill to abridge the rights of citizens. by
wresiirig the important writ of Mandanius from
the District Court, proved also an abortion of
the partyin the Senate. It could iiol raise its
crest in the House of Represeniatives.
Mr. Benion’s Bill granting three millions of
acres bf land to 10.000 seltl-.-zrs who would go to
Florida to carry on war. by the peaceful pur-
suits ofagriculture, also, failed to obtain the con-
sideration ofthe House. Fivethousand dollars,
however, were appropriated to defray the ex-
penses ofa negotiation with the Seminoles.
were in turn defeated in the Senate. and by the
party check in the House, to which we shall
advert liereaficr, with a more particular view
ofexposing the character of Loco-Focoism, as
exhibited by its conduct and votes.
The astounding fact discovered by the Inves-
tigating Committee that the Collector of New
York has a large amount of money at his per-
sonal credit in bank, for which be rcceiv5.3 and
appropriates to himself. a largo amount of inter-
est, finally induced the passage ofa provision of
law to effect an object substantially proposed to
the Senate by Mr. Tallmatlge, and rejected by
a strict party vote of that body. The enact-
ment was moved in the House by Mr. Cham-
bers of Kv.. and appearsin the General appro-
priation Bill in the following words:
Sec. 2. And be z't_/"url/ier emzctczl, Thai, from

warrant upon the Treasurer in favor ofthe per-
son or persons eriiiiled to the overpayment. di-
reciiog the said Treasurer to refund the some

The Bill for the. defence of the Northeastern
frontier was passed through the House wiili
only six inthe opposition, and, through the Sea-
ate unanimously.
It authorizes the President to resist any
attempt on the part of Great-Britain, to cri-
force, by arms, her claim to exclusive jurisdic-
lion overthe disputed territory, and to employ

Sir——Siiice I have been in this city I have used
some ofyour Dyspepsia medicine with infinite
benefit and satisfaction, and believe it to be a
most valuable remedy. One ofmy constitjuents,
Dr. A. Cardon. ofCamphcllcounty, Tennessee,
wrote me to send him some, wliicn Idid, and
he has employed it very successfully in his prac~
ticc. and says it is invaluable. Mr. Johnson,
your agent at this place, thinks you would
probably like an agent in ’l‘eiinessee. lfso, I
would recoirimcndcd Dr. A. Cat-den as a proper
person to ofiiciate for the sale of your celebrated
medidiue. Should you commission liim, lieis
willing to act for you. You can send the ined-
icine dy water to the care of Robert Kingdz.
Sons, Knoxville county. ’I‘ennessee. or by land
to Graham & l‘IUlJSi.f)ll,TilZi:Well, East Tenn.
\Vril.e me in a low days. I have no doubt but
ifyou had agents in several counties in East
Teuncssefi‘. it great deal of your medicine would
be sold. Iam going to take" some ofit home
with me for my own use, and that ofiny friends,
and should like to lleflf from you, wlietlier you
would like an agent at Biountville, Sullivan
county, E.:st Tenn. I can get sonic of the
rriercliaiits to act for you, as I live near there.
Yours respectifolly,
