Mr. Wagner, chief clerk in the depart-!

that his decline of health, made it neeessa,

equal honor to himself and Mr. Wagner,
declined accepting the testgnation at this
time; saying that as Mr. Wagner had
brought on this ill health from his close at
tention to the duties of his office, he ought
not to retire until his health was perfectly
restored, We are happy to have it in our
power to record this inilance of liberality
and politcnefs, as the present admitristra

cond-oft. When his. Gallatin came into
office he sound many of his own political
sentiments as clerks in that departmcnt,
who had been appointed at a time when
diﬀerence in political Opinion was not con- -
