The cormorants of th« party are gorging them* j selves on the unwonted feast. Buchanan found $20,000,000 in the Treasury less than a year ago, and already the Treasury is bankrupt; and he will leate the nation in debt $100,000,000, at the conclusion of his term, if a merciful Provi dence does not sooner pat an end to his anprin- I clpled career. Read the following, from the | Washington correspondence of the Philadelphia Press (democratic authority): ■ Wabhihotos, Feb. 24, 1858.—The town is filled with rumors from yoar city that a discov ery had been made that twenty-five thousand dollars were paid to a gentleman who held a high position under the late administration, which position enabled him to exercise a con trolling influence in securing the purchase of the property in Second street for a post office. This matter has assumed such a definito shape that the swindled stockholders should demand an investigation by the proper authorities. Tho property was sold to the United States for two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, (250,000,) and we understand that competent judges say that at no time would that property have brought a greater amount than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($160,000.) An ex-member of Congress from your State, in his sumptuous apartments at one of our lead ing hotels, is said to be doing a prosperous busi ness selling his influence for offices, jobs, and ; contracts. The machinery of the steamship Lan- I caster, now building at the United States navy 1 yard at Philadelphia, is one of his enterprises, on which, it is said, he is to get a commission I of five per cent., and that he has already pock eted a considerable advance. Merriok & Co., the celebrated engino builders of your city, mado a mistake in not employing this successful jobber. Wo understand the con tracts In Philadelphia for making wagons for the army, are said to be in danger through the malign influence of this ex-member, and that most likely the contracts will foil into tho hands of new men, who will allow a-handsome consid eration for the corrupt influence aforesaid. A farther instance of the corruption of the administration is found in the fact stated below. The member alluded lo has, from the first, gone the whole figure for Lecompton. We copy from the Perry Freeman. If true, it explains very satisfactorily the moving causes of tbe-Doctor’s publio course on Kansas matters: “Rumor states that Hon. John A. Ahl, M. C. from this district, has received from the Secre tary of War the contract to furnish the Utah army with 1500 mules at $l5O per bead.” o. ». iiunin„j,i*.f,i 8. RIDDLE & Co., BDITOBSani PBO PBIMT 0 B S PITTBBUBQH: SATURDAY MORNING, FEB. 27, 1858. Adtirtujdiq. — An article of some length in Appleton’s New Cyclopedia gives some interest ing frets relative to the history of the “art” of advertising. The earliest patrons of the news papers, as a medium of advertising, were the booksellers, good lack to them. The earliest advertisement appeared in 1652 in the ilercu rius Politicos, and announoed a book eulogizing Oliver Cromwell Next to the booksellers fol lowed the public officers, advertising runaways, etc. The tradesmen who first discovered the advantage of advertising were the Chinn mer chants, who announce the “China drink, called by the Chineans Tcha" (tea,). In 1688, the London Gazette was the only paper printed in that city, and became, and still continues to be the Court journal. lathe reign of Charles 11, advertisements of theatrical and other public amusements first appeared. The great plague ia London brought oat announcements of anti dotes and remedies. From 1701, advertisements may be considered as declaring the wants, the losses, the amusements, the literature, the money-making eagerness, the fashions, the foibles, the charities, the occasional eccentrici ties and the political tendencies of the people. We find in a number of the Tattler , in 1710, a review of the current advertisements of the times. In 1745, the General Adtdertiser was / commenced in London,,the first successful at tempt to depend wholly for support on adver tisements. Twenty years later, English jour nalism was fully established In the provinces as well as in the capital; and, at the commence ment of the present century, advertising had Income a system, reflecting the very form and ' pressure of the times. In speaking of advertising to-day, the Lon- j don Time* is usually referred to on account of the great number of ils advertisements. On the 24th May, 1855, it had 2,675 new advertisements. It is estimated., that its daily readers number 420,000. During the railway mania of 1845, In the month of October it received from advertise ments £25,000 sterling. Its regular weekly receipts from that source are £5,000. Hollo way pays for advertising his pills on an average, $160,000 per annum. For recommending the Oil, $50,000 per annum are expended. The same sum for advertising the sanative pro perties of Cod Liver OiL And tc hat it observable, these’ immense expenditures have amply repaid the proprietors of the articles advertised, and wherever the English language is spoken the -names of these princely advertisers—worthy of monuments of braßs, are familiar even to the school-boy. In this meagre sketch of the great art of ad vertising, there is a lesson to all merchants who would grow' rich, which we wiU not press upon the attention of readers, but leave fortheir care ful consideration. A PftOSPXbT TOE mors Territory. —What with Cuba “and Nicaragua, to say nothing of Canada and Note Scotia, we were under the im- pression that the special advocates of the in crease of the “extension of the area of freedom/’ as the phrase runs, would have enough to talk and plot about for the present, at least. We were mistaken, how ever. Comonfort, the deposed Mexican Presi dent, is now in this country, and as may be sup posed, is not in a very good humor about the manner of his "taking off.” He, therefore, de sires aid from our government, and appeals to the sensibilities of those of our fellow-citizens who think the present boundaries of the county decidedly too limited for our national com fort. In brief, Comonfort wants ‘‘Uncle Bam” to establish a sort of protectorate over. the “halls of the Montesumas,” and reinstate him as the ruling unfortunate country—introducing, at th’e-Bame time, a "suf flcent quantity of American- energy, industry and capital into Mexico.” Of course, there, are many, who are willing to fall into this ar>- rangement, not so much'to gratify the exiled Mexican as tocarry out their own sublime ideas ef “acqusition” and "extension.*' To support this position we will be assaiied'with tbe usual clap-trap "Manifest Destiny” arguments, from the lips of its partisans. The New York Timts seizes the bait with avidity, and talks over the matter like a thorough bred fillibuster. Observe what the Titan says: “Mexico requires a guardian. This ia a set tled fact—not an open question. The only one —and a rtfost important one—to be considered isthh: Who shall that „ _ decided—os soon H the United States win claim to be heard. No European power may quietly estab lish a monarchy on thin Continent. Every sen timent of Anglo-Saxon progress rises up against suoh a step. . . “Comonfort is now here. It is believed that he desires aid from* the Government or People of the United States; to be reinstated under American protection, and to introduce Ameri can onergy, industry, and capital into Mexico. Should each an appeal be made, would it be unheeded? We think not. Mexico is our nearest neighbor on the South. Her territory, partly within the tropics, abounds in the choicest material for commerce, including the precious metals. Hitherto our citizens have been de terred from entering MeUco by the notorious insecurity of life and property. But let a sta ble government once be established, and the tide of American progress will set resistlessly towards the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.” . That is a.filllbuster pill pretty well coated with the sugar of sophistry. Mexico la the ••sick man” in this instance who must have it adminstered to him, just because he is too weak to reject the nauseous compound. Lamehtatioh3.— The Washington (Pa.) exam iner, in more than a column of editorial, bewails the condition of Democracy in that County as disclosed by the late Contention there which en tirely repudiated James Bochaoan in this Le* compton business. We only make a single ex v. tract: “Bat, fellow Democrats of Washington county ‘ we beseech you to consider the attitude you were placed in before the country by the men who clandestinely controlled the convention of Monday the 22d of Feb., 1868. Look at the proceedings, and there you wffl discover that THIRTY-NINE Democrat* voted that : James Bu chanan is not governed by the “strictest integ rity and loftiest patriotism.” [looted that he was.] Oh, that vole was one of blighting shame I It was a vote that caused the Republi can spectators to rejoice. It was a vote that might weR sicken the true hearted Democrat.— And when a motion was made to divide the sec ond resolution, so as to take a vote on the ad ministration generally, and another ©nits Kansas policy, even that was not pennitted, “Jess so,” and every body who knows Mr. Grayson, editor of the Examiner, is fnDy con vinced that but for his mistaken views of duty as editor of his party organ there, he would be the londest among the protestants against this fraud and swindle.* Mr. Grayson is a gentle man, and, if he would remain so, he may as well come out from among the ruffians. The Lecompton party in Washington county isn’t 'worth the ink the Examiner sheds in defending it. * “Toanv Cbawtish.” —Judge Johnson, at the democratic antl-Lecompton meeting InColum-, bos, 0., drew the following sketch of Toady < , Crawfish. Let us see if we can identify the . portrait. Said the Judge; “Toady was an editor, who, when this Le compton matter »aa firet homed about, pitched •' into it' with ill hie main, and denounced it as atroeioua atfd despotic. A cop, of hie paper ’ wUhtheee eentimenta reached the Jndge in SSnuLMd he wrote him a letter ofapplante und’congrainlaUon. Ha did notanineeethe jonrnel ofToadyuntil his returntoOhlorrhen he happened to pick one upland found Toady jmt canny. Aftenrarde he met tho ediUir in person, and asked him why be bad changed bis mind on - Lecompton. ‘why, the fact is, said Toady, ‘I dUTpitch into it at first, but some of my friends think I ougbt to have the Postoffice '' in our town, and my former views didn’t meet the'approval of the men who make Ppstmas* ters.” Of course, the Judge cannot have alluded to any editor in Pittsburgh. But be should have been more explicit. The Atlantic Monthly for March has just been.received. Its table of contents is rich and varied, and ahowa that the literary character of this Magazine is constantly improving. It stands, now, at the head of American monthlies. For sale by Hunt & Miner and Gildenfenny A Co., Fifth Street. Household Words for March has also been received from tbo publisher, John Jansen, New York. It montains its high character, and is one of the very best of the American reprints. [Special Correspondence of tbe Pittsburgh Gazette.] .Harrisburg, Feb. 2od, 1858. Editor Gazette: On yesterday we had the first expression of the democracy of .the legislature upon the Lecompton swindle. It wasfound that a ndmber of those who had been strongLecomp ton men a week or two ago in the house were growing weak in the knees. Besides, if the legislature faltered and refused in any way to act anterior to the meeting of the 4th of March convention, it might haTe a most injurious effect upon the minds of delegates coming hither from the distant rural districts. The federal government bos been urging most imperiously upon its friends to take some action upon this question. And they could not have appealed to 'a man more likely to Berve their purposes than the democratic leader of the Senate. Backalew is very poor, in bad health, and anx ious to go to a milder climate to reside. He therefore seeks anxiously for on appointment to one of the South American republics as min ister resident. He has therefore, in this crisis of the Administration, come to its relief, and most opportunely. This report will reassure to some extent, the wavering Northern men at Washington. It will tend to still dissensions at the convention next week, and will greatly strengthen the moral prettige which the sup port of his own state speaking through its, con stituted authorities must impart to Mr. Bu chanan. • Oftzxam asked leave to make a report at such time as the minority of the Committee were ready.

The Iloase Committee upon the Judiciary have postponed the consideration of the matter for two weeks to give Wilmot's friends a chance to be heard in response.
