Commissionor of the Board of Publio
Works F B. Doano, Esq.
Fiom the Wytheville Times of Friday last, we
extract the following article:
Busan or Public Wobxs.—Sometime since we
expressed a preference for F. B. l>r.*Nt. jr., of
Lynchburg, for this position. We did an believ
ing him to be the very lic-t man lor llie place.
Since we called upon him, a Convention of u por
tion of the Democrati,- party of the District lias
convened in Lvnehbnrg and nominated Den.
OJcn 0. Clay, of Campbell, for that office. We
cannot but regret that politics Ini' had anything
to do in this matter. It i« uot a political office -
the people never desired to make il sucln nod iliere
is no good reason wliv it should ts». W e honestly
believe that Fsan. is B. Deane, jr., is belter quali
fied for the offiice of ... of llie Board
of Public Work' than any other man in the Dis
trict. We hate known him Irom our childhood,
and we know that be is thoroughly posted in re
gard to Internal Improvements, lie i' " ’ ,7”
man, bat whereevei- an Improvement is needed lie
will lend his support toil—and a si.pps.rt .that
will not be silent, hut act it e. If Mr. Deane will
announce himsell we promise nil the support that
we can afford him. ami we doubt not be w ill get
n handsome majority in the District.
Since the adjournment of the miserable skele
ton of a Convention which assembled here a
few days ago, there have 1-ectt tunny cxprc-Moiis
of >tesire, from all |wtrts of the District, that Mr.
I>cane should I* a candidate for the office of < 'mn
missioner of the Board of Public Works, i lic-e
manifestations do not c.-mc alone from Lynchburg
and the surrounding country, where Mr. Deane is
best known. Fiom all parts, f the District—from
Norfolk to the Tennesn e line—there bus he.-n a
general desire fell and expressed tbit Mr. Deane
should permit bis name to be it-ed for llie nffi e in
question. We bate received letters from Norfolk
and Petersburg, calling upon ns to place bis name
before the poople. In llie South-West, where Mr.
Deane's laborious and intelligent efforts in the
cause of Internal Improvement arc weil known
and appreciated, his name is upon every otic s
lips—except, indeed, the lucre slaves of party— i
as the man above all others for this posiiinti—em
phatically, “ tbe right man for the right place."
The article from the Wytheville limes, but gives
expression to the general sentiment ol the people
of Southwestern Virginia.
In all the requisites for the office of Commission
er of the Board of Public Works, there is no man
in the District, il indeed in the State, wlm is the
peer of F. B. Deane, llis services in the Legisla
ture have placed him in the front rank of the In
ternal Improvement party in the State, llis va
rious speeches and letters upon the suliji ot of the
internal policy of Virginia betray not only an in
timate familiarity with the question, but nn en
lightened conception of the true interests of the
Commonwealth. If the question of porty Imd
been left out of view (and "parly" lias really no
thing to do with this matter) there is not mi in
telligent man in the District who would t ot. if
asked for the proper man to fill this office, turn in
stinctively to Mr. Deane.
The skeleton of a Convention which cast its fee
ble shadow upon the fioor of the Nowell House
in this city a few day* ago, had no authority to
speak for the people of this District. It bad no
authority to qpeak even for the Democratic party
of the District. Ilad it been a largo and (oil Con
vention, representing every county iii the Dis
trict, instead of the ghostly apparition that it was,
it would still hive been without binding authori
ty. No party Convention tins no right to impose
a Commissioner upon this District. The people
have decided this once before, by defeating tlio
nominee of a rarty Convention, and they will re
iterate" that decision at the next election with an
nnmistakeablc emphasis.
The calls that have been made upon Mr. Deane
from all parts of the District w ill, wc trust, induce
him to place hiassslf at the service of the people.
Wehave nothing to say against lien. Clay perso
nally—but tbe people of the District will not vote
for the nominee of an unauthorised, irresponsible,
skeleton Convention. They will select a man for
the important office of Commissioner of the Board
of Public Works with reference solely to his qual
ifications for the position.
Col Segar’s Letter

Col. Segar’s none, Slid the ability with which his
positions are eoluroed, it is needless to say that
we differ from him Mo carlo. Absorbed, os we
Wow are, (n the issues of the canvass, we must
defer any discussion of his letter until after the

Mr. Andrew Johnson of Tenneeeee hae recently
bees airing hie rhetoric before the Democracy ol
Groan Connty la th^ State, in a speech replete
with charaeteriatic demagngaeiim. We find
in the Jonesboroogh Unions report of this speech,
and we were particularly impressed with the fol
lowing portion of it:
The “extravagance of this administration,"
which seem* to be the leading principle of the
"Opposition," was handled by him in an able
manner, lie showed, nowt emphatically, that all
each charges wero the merest “humbug ' of disap
pointed politicians, and the Inst, spasmodic effort
of a dying party (the K. N.) to bring themselves
baek into notice again.
So * peak a Mr. Andrew Johnson out in the
Mountain* of Ea*t Tcnnowo. Wo wonder if thi*
i* the name Johnson who made an elaborate *peech
in the Senate la*t winter in favor of a diminution
of the public expenditure*? Wonder if it in the
*Auie John* >n who followed up that speech willi
a *erie* of resolutions directing the Finance Com
mittee to cut down the Appropriation Bill* to
fifty million* per annum ? Wonder if it is tho
eamo John toft who made reflated Attempt* to
get hie resolution* taken up, and accompanied
each attempt with a d<*b»ful jeremiad over the
extravaguut expenditure* of the Government?
The same—“with a difference." And the dif
ference ennui at* in the audience* before which lie
made the Apeechc*. Mr. Jtdinaon make* capital
in the Senate—or attempt* to make it—by a *u
perMJrvicenble ten I in the ouuho of economy, lie
make* capitnl in Ka*t Teiine-see by declaring that
the Whig charge* of extravagance againnt the Ad
ministration, arc all “humbug." Mr. Johnson
probably forget* that thi* ded n ation, make* him
self a party to the “humbug." Or, perhaps, he
did not so much forget it himself, a* he relied up
on the ignonirce or credulity of hi* Tennessee au
dience, rendering them unable to convict him of
(not to put too fine a point upon it) inconaiateney !
And so Mr. Johnson say* that the talk al*>ut
tlie extravagance of the Administration is “nil
humbug." Butwlmt did lie say in the speech in
the Senate to which woha\eal*»vo alluded? Hi re
i* what lie *nid:
It is in the power of Congress to prevent thrae ;
mormonx rjritemtiftires; and if we do not interpose |
we are responsible for them. Thi* Government,
sixt\-nine veins of age, senrcely out of it* swnd- j

Ou the nati-nul theatre, thi* Tennessee demn- j
gogue want* to get up a reputation a* an ream- j
oroisf. He is niuhitiou* of being called, like 1
Loteher and Jone*. a “watch-dog of the Treasii- !
ry." But when it suit* hi** purpose*, before the
people of Tennessee, h.» denies the Whig charge
of extravagance, say4 it is nil “liumhug," and that
it is tho “spasmodic * ff-rt of a dying party to
bring themselves into notice again." \ erilv, a j

It i* due to the nominee of the Convention,

that Palmerston unco employed him to do the dir

profligacy of his character is well illustrated in
the faot that he turned the details of a penal im

such an individual a fit representative of this gov

We know very well what reply the Senate would
return to this inquiry, il they were nllowed an
opportunity of pronouncing on the propriety of the
Chevalier \Vykoff*s appointment.
“But the Chevalier is not alone in his glory._
Somewhere ninong the pimps and ponderers of Ku

We may add, in this connection, that another

1 to have the French mission previous to the aspira

Sentence of Judge Vondemni th, the
Forger.
Yesterday morning ex-Judge Vondersmith was
| brought up for aentence. Judge Cadwalader said
! but little about the case. He could not sec one
mitigating circumstance in ir, and for iho aake of
bis family, he regretted it was so.
• II ©then proceeded to sentence him to ten years
| on each of the bill-on which he had been convict
I cd, making 20 years, and n line of five thousand
dollars on the Inst hill. The court said, thst
if at any time the defendant would pay to the
United States the sum of $.30,000, it would
| n<e iu iufluenc© for a remission of the last ten i
. years.
This has been an extraordinary case, and in- !
i vidyed the heaviest forgeries ever perpetrated in j
this country. In their effect they reached hack to I
the days ol tbo American Revolution, nnd from !
that period to the present time, generations upon i
generations have been fabricated, and heirs set !
Ir ward as legitimate, who never had an exist- \
©nee. To carry out this scheme, and to impose
up >ii the pension office, required forgeries of the
most extended character. To meet the require
ments of law, and the safe-guards, thrown around
the pension system, it was necessary to use the [
signatures of Judges, and for this purpose Mr.
Voiidcrsmith did not hesitate to forge the names
of tli'*se who were associated with him upon the
tench. Clerks of the Court, Aldermen, Justices
o! the Peace, and the name of almost every officer
known to the civil law, was brought into requisi
tion, to fully carry out his system of forgeries.—
The sums thus obtained, amounted to about $50,
(li)O, and to reach it, about six bundled names j
wa** forged. The time during which these forge- !
i i«-s were consummated, was a period of several
years, and a part of it was occupied by Mr. Von
dersmith in posts of honor, profit, and position,
which required men of integrity.
We have given this brief outline of the case he*
cuii-e to many the sentence limy’ seem unjust and
ci ud. However much wc deplore the crimes which
involve a man iu a dilemma like this, we eunn t
shut our eyes to the fact that the sentence is a
i«M one, and only iu proportion to the offence.—
There were no expressions of'pi'*gnunt grief and
I Min visible upon the prisoner at the time sen
tence wa- intfsised ; hut the calm, stolid features,
the fixed sternness «.f the eys. the firm Compres
sion of the lips, the pallidness that passed over
the countenance, and the workings of the nui-dcs '
oI' the face, told that a commotion was raging '
w.thin his Iu east. The Court seemed sensibly to i
le»*| its responsibility, but with unt inching firm
in'- h passed the sentence—Phil. In<(. J'ridmj.
