last winter by the Senate had since received
Tue ounce OF indien Agent, new Office, created ex-
press Tor him. with salary of 500 for six months
and That he had passed through this country with his
commission in his pocket This was contrad,cted bv
the Citizen NszF ~
The material facts in this case, that the Presidents
nomination OF him had been rejected by the Senate
and that he has since received from the President
lucrative appointment we'll established to be
shaken ny the mere dictum of partzan, without any
proof. '
we were Furthermore told, by gentleman of re-
spectabllty In Woodsborough, that that individual
passed through this county some time since ON his
way to the west, oi his commission an his rocket
ana stopped at the house of gentleman in that
place who has relatives in Tlffln. That the office
was created expressly for him, we do not know
we mao seen 1t so stated and never contradicted
until 1t was done here. The material facts of the
case, however. that his nomination was reacted nv
the Senate, and that office has since been ri
ven hlrn, are, we believe, indisputable.
IL mas been said that he cleared up the CHARGES
against him to the Presidents satisfaction -Grantino
for moment, that he did. it is vet a contemnt of
the Senate to appoint him to an ofce imnedi atelv
after their rejection of him.
