The Northern Star, And Constitutionalist

Important Admissions.—In his recent manifesto to the Post Masters, published by Amos Kendall in the Globe, he admits the following illegal practices in the Department:

1. The practice of accepting drafts in advance for subsequent services;

2. That claims against the Department have been heretofore irregularly paid;

3. That payment has been made for services not afterwards exacted;

4. That fines legally imposed have been heretofore improperly remitted;

5. That retrospective and, consequently, unauthorized allowances have been made for services not contracted for;

6. That improvements have been paid for, not previously authorized by the Department.

As his reward for his mal-practices, and for leaving the Department in a state of embarrassment and confusion, the late incumbent has been appointed, without the advice or consent of the Senate, to an important Foreign Mission! This is what President Jackson and Martin Van Buren understand to be "reforming the abuses of the Government."
