01 OF WASHINGTON. ^suhesda* mokhing, april it, iul Mr. Jnhii ?. Htm, lu our paper ut llle J0ltl uitiioo we partially exposed | ?Hton which ibis person has made to depreciate the m ui congressional printing, in ike face of hie iettunony, ,(Wn under OATH in 1840, when lie wan public printer, j hi* own cop ,*ii?atioii waa at stake. But we did not him entire )u?nce; and we intend now to complete t e*|oiiuon, by giving certain calculation* and certain quae's (row Mr. Rives'# oat hi and oSKrfiotu, which will tf(f to expose still turther lite motives which actuate , conduct. Our last article devoted to thia person contained hi* en nit! of the cost of the Patent Office report, by which (attempted to prove that a profit could be made on it. e will now present a calculation of the coat of that iloc tgot, making no estimate ourselves for uncertain items, t tiling Mr. Rives's statements under oath aa to the it of such items. In the report which we hare ao (iten quoted, (Rep. No. 298, of the 26th Congress, 1st lion,) Mr. Rives states, on page 40, that in 1*40 the ?Kef of journeymen printers were #11 a week during Mssion, and $10 a week during the recess. Those ?rites continued up to December last. Mr. Rives turther lea under oath, (same document and same page,) The prices by the piece are fixed as near ai it can be B>ne to make them correspond to the prices by the week " tbave, therefore, Mr. Rives'a authority for estimating (composition of the Patent Office report, or of any Mt uocument, according to the piece-work prices of the iponraphical Society. The piece-work prices of the ipograpbical Society for compontion up to December it were at follows: nail pica plain - #t> 53 a page, ull pica rule - - ? 1 OS " Brevier plain ? - 88 " Brevier rule - t 76 " So much for composition. As to the cost of press wurk, |re will take Mr. Rives's OATH, made when he used imlentical presses and the identical steam engine now at the Union office. On the 50th page of the doc lent already mentioned, we find the following state tot sustained by the oath of Mr. John C. Rives. " The mposition of what is called plain work costs us, I be !te, from 20 cents to #1 50 per thousand, when we t? the ordinary work for all the hands; and the ^IBSWORli KROM 53 TO S3 CENTS A TOKEN, DOUBLE HOY A ream consists of ISO sheets; a token consists of ?? sheets.

In the face of thi* ?U tement, Mr. Hi Ten now come* forth, and, for the purpoae of gratifying his unnatural malice, bring* forward eathuate* which make no allow ance for rent, waste, wear and tear, in order to injure one who i* about to retire to private life, after having de voted nearly hall a century to the vindication of the principles of that party which has rewarded Mr Kives with a munificent hand for service* he never rendered. But this is not all. The estimate which the editor of the Union published of the cost of the Congretsivnal Globe and Appendix for the first session of the labt Congress?an estimate which we have shown to be very much higher than that made by Mr. Rives for the Patent Office report?Mr. Rive* asserted was not high enough by one-half. Does this conduct look like candor .' or like fair dealing or like com mon honuty / To enable the public to answer these questions, we will now apply the rules of calcula tion by which Mr. Rives attempts to estimate the coat of the Patent Office report to the copies of the Congressional Glob* ami Appendix, which Mr. Rives furnished to the first session of the last Congress. We take the particu lars from Mr. Rivea'* own statement, contained in the Daily Globe of December 31, 1350. At the bottom of the seventh column of the third page these words may be found by the curious: " Tlie Congressional CSIobe and Appendix for the Im sesnion make, together, 3.896 pageN. The**-, multiplied by 5,592. make 3! ,786,432 page*. There are 16 pag?? on a sheet The whole uuin bar of pages, divided by 16, give ?heeb*. These, divided by 480, give the number of reams of paper?!*,837." A page of the Cong regional Globe and Appendix con tains 0,003 brevier rntt, and the Congress page contains 3,870 brevier em', it follows, therefore, that Mr. Rives's allowance of 76 cents a page brevier for the con gressional pages, is a fraction less than $1 75 a page for the Congressional Globe and Appendix. He putspresswork at 25 cents a ream when estimating the presawork done at the Union office, and he allows 10 per cent, on the cost of paper to cover all other expenses. Now, we have all the items necessary for our purpose , which is, to give Mr. Rives a dose of his own medicine : Composition, 3,690 pages, at #1 75 - . #6,813 00 Paper, 2,637 reams, at #3 3d - ? 9,303 10 Presawork, a,637 reams, at 20 cents - - 709 25 10,899 35 .Add lu percent, on paper for contingencies - 930 21 Total .... $17,825 50 This is the co*t, according to the principles which Mr. Rives now wishes to apply to congressional printing, of 5,392 copies of the Congressional Globe and 5,592 of the Appendix, which the House of Representative*) had sub scribed for at #:< a copy?making in the aggregate just #33,552. On the 24th day of July, 1850, Congress had ?ot agreed to give Mr. Rives any gratuity for reporting ; and he (the said Rive*) on that day swore thai he was losing at the rale of $160 a day at his establishment. Let us see: * Co#t of Congressional Globe and Appendix furnished ibe House, according to Mr. Rives'* recent estimate - - - f 17,325 50 Price charged Congress - - - 33,553 00 Difference *15,720 44 This was the ditlereuce between the coot o( printing and the price paid for it?leaving nearly 917,000 an profit. Hut, then, the cost of reporting was to come out of that; but Mr. Rive* has more than once admitted that the $15,000 pai 1 him by the first session of the last Congress made him whole on that score. If that sum made bim whole, and paid him what he " eat. drank, and wore out," (we use his own expression,) we leave the public to judge how near be came to absolute and direct per jury when he swore, in secret, before bis friend John Weniworth's committee, that he was losing 9100 a day, when he had a reserved fund, according to his own show ing, of '>,798 44. Let us now itemize a little. Thus? 11,191 copies Congretnonal Olobt and Ap pendix, at a copy - . - 93.1, 00 Reporting ..... mnoi Sj Coat to Mr. Rives, as above ? 9 I SC Reporting 2,534 columns, at 94 10 ? column ? . ? 10,.149 40 2S,214 Net profit .... 924,338 20 Such is the net profit which Mr. Rivea? accordng to the coat he endeavor* to affix in the face of former oaths on congressional printing?realized on the copies of the Congretsional Olobt and Appendix furnished the House of Representative*. Besides that, he received about V>,000 for copies of the same works furnished the Senate, for which he had to pay nothing bat for paper, press work, and ink i'tl be it remembered that iku tame John C. Kim linn t, on Ihe 24fA day of July, bejore John Jf 'tnIirorlh'i committer, that he wti Inning at the rmle nj 91 no a <\m<j Our own self-respect will not permit us to designste properly Mr. Rives's conduct. There are many things in his long career of impunity which we have passed over. It would taks volumes to expose folly his twist ings and turnings, ami to unravel the complex web of his unscrupulous cunning We think we have done enough, however, although we have something yet in reserve We are fond of field sports ; but we cannot give all our time to the chase We have this tim? been chasing a cunning marauder, whose coarse and whose fate we cannot better describe than by using the graphic words of Somerville: ? * * " ! hft tkmlk*k)Mk|, ,9feeft mi ike $hepk*rd%? roti, and plump with meat* Purloin'd. *0 thriro th?* wicked her* helow Though high his hruah he bear, though tipp'd with wlule It gayly thin*; yei erf the sun declined Recall the thadea of nifht, ifce pumj^n <1 roauc Ahall roc hi* lhI* raveraed. * ?

Tbeone has manifested an unequivocal disposition to repeal the abolition act thruat upon her in an unguarded hour of whig abolition ascendency; and the other haa passed resolutions, with unexampled unanimity, iu favor pf the Compromise, and of peaceful, patriotic devotion to the Union and the Kights of the States, which are worthy of the fathers of the repub lic in ita best days. These two great central States, flanking the North on the one side and the South on the other, can do much in fact are almost omnipotent?in al laying discontent, in rebuking aectional factions, and in perpetuating the blessings of the Union. We said, month* ago, that (hey could maintain the peace, and guaranty the Union, if they acted iu concert. We are glad to see that they are enlisted in the same cause, and with grasp ed hands are bearing aloft (he same banner. We trust, with the aid of the aurrounding patriotic States, tbey will be invincible. No two Stataa in the Union have aa deep a stake in the iasue as Pennsylvania and Virginia. From their locality, they must be converted, in the event of a rupture pf the Union, into the great battle-fields on which theqaestion of empire will be determined. History has told ua how the wide, fertile districts bordering on France and Germany have been for centuries swept by the alternate ravagea of friends and foea. Deserted fields, sacked cities, burning towns, ruined inhabitanta, violated females, and slaughtered children, have tilled the annals of this ill-fated region with unutterable wo. What these un happy districts have seen and felt, Virginia, Pennsylva nia, and Maryland are destined to see and feel with ten fold aggravation, if this glorious Union be broken up and destroyed. They have aright to apeak out in this crisis: they have exercised that right in a bold and manly spirit; and we rejoice that they have done so. They re buke alike the fanatical madness of abolition, aa well aa the phrensied zeal of South Carolina chivalry. These misguided zealots of both aectiona may fume and rage, and resolve to trample on the constitution, and to hazard the peace and prosperity of the country; but they struggle against fate. These States may say to them, as Jupiter did in the council of (he gods: " Ye strive in vain: id but stretch this hand, 1 heave the gtxls, the ocean, and the land ; I fix the chain to great Olympus' height. And the vast world hangs trembling in my night." When these States forbid the bans, abolition, and all other kinds of nulJiAers, must stand aghast, and fall back into their allegiance to the Union. Nor is it to be feared that these States will sanction any very outrageous viola tions of the conatitution, or any acts of unmanly submis sion. They are high-toned, enlightened, and independ ent, and are as far from yielding to wrong as from in flicting it. Both are essentially democratic, and both are opposed to constructions of that instrument not warranted by its terms and it* principles. We again repeat that we are rejoiced at this evidence of the strength of the Union. I It will give confidence and energy to its friends in the same degree that it confounds and unnerves ita adversa ries. Those who have invited Virginia to take the stand ard of disunion in her mighty hand as leader, may now see bow little they understood her true chaiacter, and bow hopeless and unprojutious is their cause. We ad ?is( them to desist, to abandon their course, and to fol low the lead of the "Old Dominion" in the path of peace and harmony, as promptly as they were anxious to do in that of discord and commotion. Her example is one that no real patriot need blush to imitate. The Keystone and the Old Dominion?may they tread for centuries the same road ; may they stand shoulder to ahoulder in defence of the federal constitution; may they march with locked shields in upholding the Union and the Rights of the States ! lit.

In connexion with this the following brief remarks of au English writer are exceed ingly appropriate, and will be read with interest: " To many (says Anderson) It might seem too bold, were we lo affirm lhat the Knglish Bible is at present in the act of being perused from the rlaing to the selling sun. The as sertion might appear little else than a figure of speech, or an event to be anticipated; and yet this is uo more than the ballot the truth. The Knglish Bible, at this moment, is the only version in existence on which the sun never sets. We know that it is actually in ute on ihe banks of the Otto way and St. Lawrence, as well as at Sydney, Port Phillip, and ilobart Town; but before his evoning rays have lell ihe spires of Quebec and Montreal, his morning beams have already sbone ior hour 8 upou the shore* of Australia and New Zealand. And if il be read by so many of our language m Canada while ihe sun is sinking on the Lake Ontario, in the Eastern World, where he has risen in his glory on the b'.mk of ilio (ianges, to the sell-same sacred I volume mnny who flre no less ourcountrymen have already turned.

The Alw York Firemen.?Union Festival at Hamsbuig.?A youthful murderer.?The Markets, !fc. The meeting of the democratic city contention last eve ning was largely attended. The subject under discussion was the question of representation as brought before the convention at Annapolis. The course of Messrs. Brent and frwinn in voting Against the proposition of Mr. Fiery, giv ing to Baltimore but ten delegates, was approved, and a i series ol resolutions, introduced by Joshua Vansant, esq , | adopted, declaring that the course of the convention in en ! deavoring to withhold the right of representation from the j people is unworthy* of the support or countenance of a ! democrat, or any citizen of Baltimore. They also strongly approved of the course of the Baltimore Argus on the ?ub j j eel of representation, and urged united action in sustaining ( the representative rights of the city. Charles M. liwinn, esq , was present, and addressed the convention at consid erable length, defining his position, which met with the i entire approval of the convention. Our streets are thronged this afternoon with persons de ! slrous of oli'nining a view of the grand firemen's proces sion, on the occasion of the reception of the Auiejicus i Company of New \ork. The procession exceeds in mag> ? niflcence any similar turn-out of the department in this city, | most of ilie apparatus being drawn by splendid teams of six and eight horses, and the members newly equipped for ihe occasion. The New Yorkers number about 80 men, and present a Hue appearance. Mr. Webster has consented lo be present at the Union fes ilval, lo be given at llarrisburg, on Tuesday next, by ihe members of the legislature, and another great speech may , be expected from him. The railroad companies have also invited our mayor and city council to visit Harrisburg on lhat day ; and it is understood that on reaching there invi> ' tstioni to the festival will likewl?e be tendered 'o them, the I j-ulousies ol Philadelphia rendering a direct Invitation to them im| olilie.
