thirdly, that such removal was measure

bestoW the fullest sanction on the course Of

the score both Of expediency and constitu-

and more than once, uttered q public and
solemn declaration that he never did advo-
cate, or was in any manner in faver Of !
National Bank. Well, Robert j. Walker III
his letter to Mr.. Black Of May Isl, 1, "a
fatal year indeed!l if common sense may be
allowed to construe it, was likewise war mly
in favour of the restoration of lie depositesi
to what! Why the use Of the very word res-
toratior tells us, to the vaults Of the United
States Bank; for had he wished the deposites
placed elsewhere than in these particular
vaults, whence they had been unlawfully 6
tyrannically taken according to Gen. Browns
opinion, any dictionary will convince US, he
could not wish for restoration Of them
But the concluding portion Of his letter, IN
Guiding his enthusiastic diction 'sGo on, 2
proves plainly that he only wished for a res
toration Of the deposites to the United States
Bank, but he looked to that measure and
that Institution both Of which were then
advocated by Senator Black for relief from
the then greatand universal monetary dis
trees and embarrassment. General Brown,
however, we think, stands in better po-
sition on this subject than Mr.. Walker; for
the former simply convicts himself. Of false
hood and attempts to make no explanation;
whereas Mr.. Walker, not only convicts him-
self of falsehood, but also proves himself .
fool BY alledging and attempting, in his late
'Vindication" to show that he has not
changed in the least, the view and opinion
expressed in his letter of May LIST. 1884. It
is commonly true, that man would rather
Be deemed knave than fool; and such
seems to be the case with General Brown.
But, as is the case with Mr.. Walker, to be
Justly deemed d. fool possessing the motives Of
a knGUe, or at best of demagogue, is so out-
bad, thatone can scarcely believe

With regard to the letter Of Mr.. Alfred
Cox, above referred to, it IS well known to
the public that Mr.. Cox has been for many
years the Legislator from Washington coun-

veracity as also Of very creditable incl
IN his letter, we have the word Of Mr.. Cox
