,y,h ,,s,su,c we give place 10 the following
communion, lion from Mr.. Hanna. lie appears
oyiden,Iv satisfied with the explanation he gives.
II may satisfy others also; but It 10 singular to us
tina, Mr.. Hanna could no, find any person who
would give good money for sitter. Why did not
Mr.. Hanna &c, money from he bank, instead oil
the brokers Of Indianupolls' The 20 or SO dol
lars Of Ohio money spoken Of, we opine, paid
quite a uumber of witnesses, or else it all came
"a this par, Of the state. Mr.. Hanna acknowl-
edges ,ha, ne made an cooperation to pay him Tor
his trouble &c. He received S2,ooo IN Specie
which we suppose he so'd Tor something Ike
eight per cent. SlG0. Was Mr.. Hanna or the
Government entitled TO that money? We think
the Marshal had neither a legal or q moral right
10 il. II he was compelled TO borrow funds as he
asserts, and could no, get any botter money than
he did, why did he no, sell his specie in Terre
Hau,e-save the expense OF taking II 10 'ho'aha-
poIis-pay the interest on the money borrowed,
and place tho balance TO the credit ! The Departs
ment? We think he should have done so. But
on the contrary he boasts that he pocketed the
money, and us not only pleased ruth has place,
but proud of his patron'' for permitting hun to
flch tina, which Justly belongs to the Govern
men,. The patron Of Mr.. Hanna, is not the
homes, man we believe him TO be. 1t he permits
repetition Of such ''nperations-" 1t - a iaxi'y Of
morals, which will not answer 10 n political GO

of their patron! PrOud of his patron indeed
