"The Government" at their dirty work again.—It appears from the following extract from the correspondent of the National Intelligencer, that Mr. Van Buren has been following so far in the "footsteps" of his illustrious predecessor as to be writing letters to New York to try and influence the elections in that State, which took place on the 6th instant:

"To my certain knowledge, and the fact can be proved, if necessary. Mr. Van Buren has sent letter after letter to this city within the few past weeks, saying that the fate of himself and his party depended upon the result of the election here and in the State! Mr. Van Buren has written personally to many of his friends, promising and exhorting, threatening and entreating, his political friends to support the Tammany Union-Loco Foco-Loco Foco Wright ticket. Money has come in here from Washington, thousands upon thousands of dollars."

It also appears, from the following resolution, adopted at a numerous meeting of the Democratic Republican Electors of the Fifteenth Ward, that the "heaven-born" Amos has been using his influence to render his master "some service" in the election. How long will the people tamely submit to be dictated to by their servants? We hope such a rebuke will be given by New York as to make every office-holder tremble in his seat:

Resolved, That we have heard with feelings of astonishment and indignation, of the interference of Amos Kendall, Post Master General of the U. S. in our local politics, in his recent communication to Levi D. Slamm: and that the part taken by other officers of the General Government, our servants of us, the people, in our city affairs, and their efforts to bring the weight of their official stations into our elections, is an impertinent interference, dangerous to our liberties, and deserves the unqualified reprobation of every Republican Citizen.
