General Jackson would have the WORLD
believe that bic pretended reforms are all
changes demanded by the voice Of the peo-
lple. In many instances we have shown that
the people have expressed themselves IN di-
rect opposition to these changes: In other
Cases, We have shown that the voice Of the
people meant neither more or less then the
voice Of the Individual who applied for the
ONCE. The following paragraph gives an
other version Of the phrase, and shows tile
Judgment with which responsible Offices are
tistriorted. The remark has truth as well

Of what they denominate reform, that they
have literally come al last to be. not only

few frolicksome youngsters, in town about
thirty miles form here, assembled few
days ago. and after making fools Of each
other, concriyed the idea Of making tools az

4 the above. In this case, il seems. an indi-
( vidual has been remembered by General

jackson meeting, at which three others
were present, and without further inquiry
into his qualifications or character, a com !,
mission is made out for him, and the eoun-
try Is secured IN search Of the abscondng
Postmaster TO thrust honor and profit upon
him. Il this the way the public money is

twill be recollected by the most Of our
readers, that gnarto Jackson meeting was
held 10 Medina county, in the fall Of 1927,
to wit; county meeting, at which four per
sons attended, three OF whom were appoint
ed delegates TO attend the Jackson Conyen-
ton at Columbus, and that one Of this i'm
mortal trio was Moses Wright. of legal
memory. Now what less could President
Jackson do than bestow an Office. especially
I when one office would reward one fourth
Of the Jacksonitea in Medina. Itiswell known
that General Jackson is not "slack in per.
forming his promises" TO his friends, so, in
process OF time, on came the long looked for
letter directed to Moses Wright. ESQ, and
ornamented with the official signature Of
! w. T. Barry appointing the said Moses,
/ Postmaster. in and over Medina and remoy.
Ing Rofus Ferris, the incumbent. But alas!
the freaks OF Dame Fortunes poor Moses's
legal practice had not increased with his
| patriotism, and this.bo of Jackson graft.
tude being too long delayed, he was inyol-
we'd 10 debt, and his creditors, unlike true
patriots, wouldn not wait for him 70 pay them
out OF the milk of the jackson pap, and he
had 10 Mossy--alas, poor Mosesl the app
| pointment and removal came. but there was
no Moses, An express was sent after him,
that pursued as lar as Cincinatti, when 'lohe
hope delayed failed, and the CHASE was
! given up. at.ff
| As Ferris is removed, and Mosey run a.
way, we would suggest to Mr.. Barry to
direct his next appointment "To any one o.
the Four remaining within the county Of
Medina"
