In the paper which we have mentioned, two
Postmasters in this State are brought forward 10

Gd1tiiier, OF Bowdoinham. He, il is said, is re-
moved to make room for a friend OF Gen. Jackson
he having supported Mr.. Adams. We advise the
editors OF the fntel!igencer their tears for

ner, but we will suppose that he was removed for
no other reason than that he ia opposed to the ma
tional administration. This, the Iutelligencer
thinks is wrong. -Voto IRE hare TIE best possible

Mr.. Gardner is a member of the Senate OF this
State, and, assisted TO remove the door kee-
per OF the Senate because he voted for jackson
electors and for no other He voted to re-
move the Secretary OF State and the Treasury for
the same reason. Now, we take Mr.. Gardner TO
be good christian, and that he follows the golden

er he removes from Office those who differ from

differ from him have the power he cannot do 9TH

! We can assure the editors OF the fntelligencer
mat he VIII make but very Indifferent figure in
iieir political mariyroogy. Indeed, we think that
the opposition papers will DO wisely not TO attempt
to swell the army OF martyrs, by seeking recruits
IN Maine. The changes that have been made by
the new administration in this State, are such as
must be approved without any reference to po-
