| THE NOISE ABOUT THE Posi- OFFICE.
1t will he rocollcctcd, that upon the removal of
GU. Whann from the post office in this place, an
article appeared in the Cecil Gazette, under the
editorial head mentioning his removal, and stat
ing that the editor was possessed of information
in regard to it, which in the course of human
events he might lay before his readers, that was
of damnablc character, and perfectly cllarac-
tcrrstic of the Wing party. We have not the
paper containing the article before us, but this
was the substance oft; if not the identical words.
After seeing this impude"t, and characteristics
nSinuation of the Editor, VIC expected that if
there was a particle of honour in him, he
would feel himself bound by it to make known to
the party thus slandcrcd, and to the public, the
information he possessed ON the subject; and this
opinion ii would seem, was entertained by his own
party, 70, one of them upon seeing no cxplana-
ton from the editor, several weeks aflcrward adj
dressed him communication intended to cluci-
date the ambiguity of his article.
This communicate, II stated that paper had
been seen at Washington by Geo. Il. Howard
Esq, and by General Scwall purporting to be
copy of proceedings ola Wing meeting in Elk

him to have made, he, would have said i, was at
his (NIr. McCulIough's s. request, that Gen. Sew
all called on the Post Master General, for the
purpose ofprocuring the document in question,
and that two letters from him were on file in the
post Office department, denying its authenticity.
The reason riycn by the Post Master General
to Gen. Sowalli,r not sending the document to
Mr. Mccullough was chat II was rule of the
department, to allow no papers to be withdrawn,
unless il WClD for IldIultl nuTpGsCs. and that If
