Such is not the policy of the Kitchen
Cabinet. Blair and Kendall will still con
tinue to control public affairs through the
old gentleman al the Hermitage. Let
them hold up his sign manual to the author
Of the letter TO Sherrod Williams, and he
will be compelled TO "follow in the foot

wrote to his friend Francis p. Blair, editor
of the Executive journal The letter. &C

public eye."
