manifested in all directions. to the period when

extent to which il will be carried. We can only

Jefferson and sustained by the nation. To repair
the much abused and deranged machinery OF our

| Examination throughout will be closely made
and thorough repair will be effected upon the
most approved principles. The materials are in a
state Of forwardness, and the events Of few weeks

The Journal complains that the Postmaster at
Nashville has been removed. 1t will be recoi-
I lected that this Postmaster was appointed by Mr.
Adams, in violation of the wishes OF the people of
Nashville, and in open hostility the entire dele
CATION from tho State of Tennessee.
1t l. q sufficient answer to the Charge that the
postmaster at Nashville removed at the instance
OF the President, to say that any citizen has a right
To apply for the removal Of postmaster improper
~ appointed or who, being properly appointed,
proves to be unworthy OF his station. And il will
be the duty of the President TO see that the POST
master General discharges his duty IL removing
such OF his deputies the public ,eteress regutr.
TO oe removed ii, therefore, il is the duty of the
PRESIDENT, upon the representation Of private citi-
zen, to require the removal of a deputy improper
y retained in Office, it would be his duty to remove
the Postmaster General in of his refusal to do
his duty faithfully. In the of the Postmaster
at Nashville, the Presiden; himself well in
| formed, and by causing change to be made, he
not only discharged his duty as a Citizen but he
has given evidence that he will correct abuses
where it can be made appear that abuses exist.
