For the efficient service rendered by Client

The prominent Wings as a suitable candidate
for office. Robert CIV gilmore vrote strong
letter TO Governor Seward in his behalf in
which he says, speaking Of Glentworth, that

G. Wetmore was one Ofthe 'cOnfdentials,' can
be reconcilod with the statement Egsdo ~ innIes

when Glentworth spoke 10 him Of the repeat-
ed promises Of Bachford, Draper, Bowen,
Weimore, &c., to stand by and sustain him,
that il these gentlemen were accused 'lhey

commentary on The character of those gentle-

ofGlentworb is interesting, deeply painfully
interesting. 1t confirms every thing stated by
MIR Stevenson in relation tothe frauds, and es-
tAbIishos the character of the 'Whig' partysfor
yillany and corruption beyond doubt or cavil.
