Mr.. Rrchic, goa have spoken 90 fas.--lIow could

overlooked the fact that Gen. Chrnfr of the Senate
and Mr.. OWEN Of Alabama of the lower house bnv.

QUIZ W. think the line of distinction which orr
friend I.itchie draws. is past ridiculous The col
iectorship, the apDraisershp. or the Post Office of
one o. our large ciIies may be much object with
some mon, as Foreign Mission. or seat in the Ca
b'net with others. One class Of Office NAV be be-
slowed with much effect as the other whether 4,

the appointment of members of either house of Com
gross to office Is wrong in principle and subversive
OF The purity OF our nsiitut;ons-which we are not
prepared to assert deny-but which vas certainly

his celebrated letter of rcsianation-s il not absurd
TO fnd III the magnitude and importance Of the Office

departure from the principle We should feel rather
disposed TO reverse Mr. Ritchc's rule aud most
loudly condemn the appointment Of members to Off

honorable stations, time will determine sooner per

As members have been appointed "collectors'' and
TO other D''n'sierict Offices VIC take il for granted
that Mr. BItchie, notorious he is for consistency
and adherence TO principle will "a, speak out
That he will fellow suit whenever .'the pcople spca
