o'her case OF prescription III l.oudoun.
FoR THE WING.
lha proscrlpvc policy of Gen. Jackson has OF
last reached the man, for whose fate alone among
the numerous victims of reform, have felt deem
and sincere concern. Thomas NIuund, esq. postmas-
ter at Aide, has been deprived of his office because
1t was the only reward the administration could con
veniently brslow UPON its wholv devoted" friend
MIR. Edmund TYLER.
AS frequent as the removals from the various Off
ces OF Government have been since the commence
ment OF the present administration, such has been

fh0cin that II Gen. j. member of his cabinet
has listened FOR moment TO the malicious surres-

has listened TO lies; what assurance can now have
that others lave not suffered equally unworthiiy:-

How then, Messrs. Editors, arc we to account for
such acts the part of those into whose hands the
nation has contded it's dcstmies'
To follow the dictates of unbiased Judgment
Is really to arrive at conclusion which exist
without serious apprclcnsons OF Some shock to our
whole system Oi political liberty. We never can be-

without some reason without some object in view;
then what is the inference, when the bscrcc of all

In the present case, there seems TO me to have
been INDUCED, even spirit of waron and unfi clin0
cruelty. An effort is made to Tx some stigma on
the character Of a man. who sure never in the
course OF his life, has said word derogatory to
The character of Gen J. either as man or a ua; lot

they Will meet with disappointment. The charac-

malignant tyranny. Those for whose good opinion
he is Mt all sUIcous know him too ell to be induced
for moment 10 doubt the real OF his reno
val.
AS TO the emolumcnts of the Office Mr.. Maund has
declared to mo, that the sole consi cration winch

of his fellow citizens. lis friends and ncighboTs
will observe that the county of Loudouu "a; the last
Presidential election gave very large majority of
its Suffrancs to Mr.. Adams. IT is owing to this
circumstance rgnaaps, that three poSrnastcrS hav"

which has of late powerful political engine,
may be extensively exercised upon the r1.ht side.

Mound, have little to say. have known him for
some time, and have always supposed him an honest
man, ] presume, hnwcvCr they know him better
