Jury went on Friday the Oath inst. and having
remained together in the jury room, says the National
InteIligencer, all day and all highland having asked

When the late Postmaster General was in that place

Dear Sir: 1 regret to see evidences of more gen.
era change Of officers than =! supposed could take
place. On this subject, my opinion remains the
that it under the late Administration.
Your duties have been faithfully performed, and
Won have mt am sure, used the facilities of your Of
ice to proInce ,.otca effect. If resting on such
ground does your continuance in Office,
private station is the post OF honor 1 hope you will
not be moles,ed. II mig be well to address letter
the Postmaster General stating frankly what your
course has been and ask Of him the Justice to inform
YOU, representations should be made, charging
you with improper conduct
have no confidence in the principles Of any officer
who docs not make the public interest his first and
last consideration.
My recent change of position have no doubt, in
every point of view, was judicious. now am not in
VolVed in the responsibilities of others, and have
done enough, in political point Of view, to show my
principles of action. would write to the Postmaster
General in your behalf, but cannot believe it is ne
cessary, and there some considerations which
would render the step injudicious unless 1t were in
dispensably necessary.
. advise you. by all means, not to resign. Remain
your post and continue faithfully to discharge your
duties. With very great respect,
Your obedient servant,
I r Turner Pnrtsmnuth q.
