LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
To Ike Editor of the .V. V. Courier $ Kuqnirtr.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 13th, 1S31.
No incident h» recently occur ed in thi< place
calculated to interest or amu-e your readers.
11 truth the only motive which has prompted
(U.w to take up my pen. i« to point out one
of those instances in which w hat was made a
matter of gravest allegation against the admi
nistration ot Mr. Adams, is far exceeded by the
present, without exciting the least animadver
sion. This instance of lorbearance in the Whig
press, compared with the conduct of their op
ponents. is characteristic of the two parties.
You will remember, that because Mr. Adams
paid a visit to Massachusetts, on the death of
Ins father, and one or two of his Secretaries vi
sited their residences, after the fatigues of u
Congressional session, the Jackson patty nick
named the members of the administration, “/Ac
trarellinl' Cabinet." It is an old saying, that
“one man may steal a horse with impunity,
while another is hanged for looking over a
hedge ” and a comparison of the conduct of the
two administrations, is an illustration of the
truth of the saying. What is the practice of
the Jackson administration, in the particular
in which they so severely condemned Mr.
Adam’s? Let us examine. About the begin
ning of the present month.
The President was away.
The Secretary of War was away.
The Attorney General was away.
The Secretary of the Navy w as away.
The Second Comptroller of the Treasury was
away.
The Treasurer was away.
The Commissioner of the General Land Of
fice was away.
The Fourth Auditor was away, all at the same
time. The Secretary of State had previously
been absent.
According to the liberality which imputed
motives for the absence of Mr. Adams’s Secre
taries, we may suppose, that
Mr. Secretary Dickerson was superintending
the election* in New Jersey.
Mr. Secretary Cass was regulating those of
Ohio.
-mi. miprnev t»enerai miner was managing
the Herkimer Convention.
.Mr. Auditor Kendall w as caballing about the
elections in Pennsylvania.
Put whatever may have t>een their objects, I
merely state the fact of their absence, at the
time specified. I leave comments for others.—
1 present the case, that those w ho remember
%P«* ar>d notice the present, may see how
different, in a certain class of politicians, is pro
r—ioH and prod ice.
I will now mention another incident, to com
municate w hich, I should not have written spe
cially. \ on recollect that the President was
sometime since censured for sending, under his
trank, to Mississippi, the prospectus of a polfti
C'i paper, to he set lip at .Natchez, to support his
a» ministration. fhe Globe denied the charge,
or said that it was done in but one or two in
sdOkes Mr. Plummer the Jackson member
om . lississippj yet here; bv some it is said,
nj?>,n« benefit of one of his privileges.
I' rs hint, that lie intends to draw his eight
' " ',r' per diem, during the recess, in cor
sequence of being detained by sickness.
., t>>e’ however, are mere conjectures of the
qu d mines. U I,ether they are. or aie not well
nV*‘ n L'V-' nn°Pi'iioii. Put Plummer says,
ie lesment req touted 0f |)ini the names

employment.

The accounts through other channels, however,
are of a different character. The well inform
ed portion of the Whig party, in this city, were
not disappointed in the Maine election. A sim
ilar result, so far as Gen. Jackson is concerned,
may be anticipated in Pennsylvania. Of Van
Burenism. however, scarcely a fragment will be
left remaining. The People understand, that
i the issue is now made, Van Ruren. or no Van
Buren. In the South and in the West his late

SURGICAL NOTICE
DR. It. ROMAN would respectfully solicit
an interview with all who are tin* subjects
of HERNIA, (or Rupture.) The best Trusses
hitherto in use have only been used with a view
of preventing an aggravation of the misfortune.
Dr. It. proposes, by the application of Slugner’s
newly invented Truss, to effect a radical cure
in the space of from two to four months. Those
laboring under this affliction, and having any
doubts of its application, are referred to the
Physicians cl Alexandria and Washington City,
most of whom have examined the merits of the
insti uincnt.
Dr. It. can be found at New ton’s Hotel, until
the 30th instant, during which time calls, cither
in person or by letter, will meet with attention.
The following notices of this improvement
have appeared in the Washington papers:
“ It is perhaps due to Messrs. Maxwell A Ro
man to say, that they have exhibited to tis tes
timonials which leave no doubt on our minds of
the value of the improvement advertised by
them in the Truss—an article, we are sorry to
learn, of much more extensive use and necessity
than we had until lately supposed.”—A'at. hit.
“ We invite attention to an advertisement, in
this day’s paper, of Messrs. Maxwell and Ro
man. Tin* improved Truss, which it is their ob
ject to introduce into use, lias the recommenda
tion of some of t he most eminent surgeons in
the United States.”—Globe.
“ Persons in the city afflicted with Hernia, or
Rupture, would do well to call cn Dr. Maxwell,
whose advertisement is in our paper of today.
The Doctor lias the most satisfactory evidence
of radical cures having been made in an unpre
cedented short time, by means of a newly in
vented Truss. Cases which were considered
impossible to be cured radically, have been cur
ed in a space of time that surprises both physi
cian and patient. Some of the first physicians
of the country speak in the most favorable terms
of I lie Truss used by the Doctor. We are told
that it has not failed, in scarcely a single in
stance, of producing a radical cure, where it lias
been applied, and carefully persisted in.”
