frankly and plainly speak Of my opposition to the au-
pointmcnt Of the Collector and of some of the cir
cumstances connected with it. II is true did oppose

purpose to friend at Washington in the confidence

But some correspondent at that place of Mr. Swart.
wouts having Informed him that in this letter had
spoken disparagingly Of his character denied it in
direct terms d then said that my objection was coniiu-
ed 10 The single fact that he was not possessed OF
erty. and that often had | hearcd this objection
urged against him by merchants and other persons of
admitted responsibility, that seriously feared that in
his present circumstances and with his present stand
ing his appointment TO the coliectorshp OF this port
would seriously impair the Presidents popularity
and therefore II was opposed it. / also added that,
towards MIR. Swartwout himself, did not enter
tain an unkind feeling, had ever said any thing
that had tendency TO call in question his integrity

u TWO errors OF detail but unmportant to the fact
TINT the Senior Editor of the Evening Post did write
letter to Washington for the purpose of opposing the
appointment of Mr.. Swarwout, occurred i'll our alu-
sion to that transaction in Fridays Herald. We
weren in stating that the letter addressed
General Jackson IL was written to Mr.. lInnl.
ton, the newly appointed District Attorney, with
view to lis being shcwn to the President II was
shcwn tn him, and a copy transmitted to Mr. Swart-
won't. We were also incorrect in stating that Mr.. 3
called on the editor Of the Post with tho letter We
Informed that friend Of Mr. s. made the cdto
this unquesionaby agreeable visit The facts are he
yond denial and we believe there is no bubble lef
by which the Editor Of the Post can make even
temporary escape. The statements in tho letter in
= ton led TO be INJURIOUS TO MIR. Swartwout, relate
TO conversation said 20 have been held with him h,
gentleman in the street. in which Mr.. S. suiforc
~ himself without resentment, TO he Tcvcd and insult
!, cd. The gentleman Thus designated was applied "a
on the receipt Of the letter from Washington, and dc
cared in writing that tho statements were misrcpre
6 scntations that tho conversation between him an
c Mr. S. of playful iocular nature and that nci
II thcr insult offence given intended. w
