MUEL GWlNN
We are all familiar with the circumstances
under which COL Gwin became a citizen of this
State We have all heard of his appointment nj
to the Office of Register of Public Lands, al
Mount Salus, when a clerk in one OF the De
partments at Washington City; Of his rejection
by the Senate, of his disappointment, during the
recess of Congress, and of his rejection Sc.
cond time. We have seen the perseverance OF
the President to keep his friend in offce,-oi his
I finn IN the office at ChOChuma. OF the
same Col Gwin. Having obtained the privile-
ges of citizenship, the Senate confirmed this ap-
pointment.
"A Register of Public Lands at Chochuma,
how do we find him employed In aiding the
President (who gave him his office and means
of support in bringing the patronage of the
Government into conflict with the, freedom OF
elections by calling meetings and manufactH-
ring PUBLIC OPINION for the adoption OF his bre-
thren in office, and the hungry expectants of
office; and It's fair to presume, under directions
from the Federal city.
