it IS. than Tinda could put it 4; and it abounds in

not resort.
When all the circumstances and proofs of the

ton Of every virtuous and hishmnded man in So

Now it is well known, and can be proved, that John
Wiltbank applied IN person to Governor Polk 50 ear

among other reasons to support his claim, that his
health was such as would not permit himto discharge
the arduous duties of captain Of Horse. We call
on John Witbank to deny this, if he can.We shall
then call OH gentlemen to sustain our assertion, who
heard him make the application. Governor Polk
could not avoid appointing him. Niltbank was the
oldest captain-and entitled to it byla But the
facility with which these gentlemen can make asser-
tons and promises, and then break and deny them.
is astonishing. They are known-they will be re-
nembered and rewarded. Their very appearance
in Society, among their neighbours and acquaintan
ces, carries the appearance of guilt. They have not
that wonted confidence in themselves. which would
enable them to look an honest man in the face.
They lurk about from place to place with scow up
on their countenances, as if conscious that they

will brand himself with disgrace for having vilhed an

his choice to be determined by irrational prejudice

the most selfish interest or the basest servllny

On this subject read these few lines from the

On the 18th ult. Mr.. Harker, in his (" Apology

Of honesty, patriotism, and dsinterested nobeness

good one, nor the true one for this plain reason
that this supposed rejection ofa corrupt offer was moi
kao,gn previous to the publication Of the Fayette
vile letter, on March 9Th S27 and that preuiou.
to that date M IIarker advocated the pretensions
of General Jackson, and therefore must have othcl
reasons.
Instead of meeting and combating this fact, Mr.
Ilarker eludes it, by charging us with defcien

Mr. Editor,
Miles rindall has pretended to deny the
receipt of any letter from ay law officer, wherein
he was promised the Office Of Auditor of Accounts.
This we expected he would do. So also do Wilt

they were Administration men, but all their efforts
TO escape will only draw the chord the tighter around

cant expect that they VIII contribute to their own
