MEssRs. EDIToRs.-I send you the sub.
joined correspondence for publication. You
will doubtless be surprised, when you OBJ
serve the promptness, and reasonable ex'
picitness of my reply to the inquisition of
the Postmaster General, 10 learn that have
been removed from the office of Deputy P.
VI. at Brandon. and A. J. Ke;chum. the
old Loco Foco incumbent has been READ
poi ted, in my place. 1t has occu d to
me, however, after all, that it may be that
the anxiety Of the P. NJ. General touching
the resolutions in question has no special
reference TO the proper management OF the
Post Office in Brandon, but springs from
his relations 10 Capt. Tyler,the person men,
toned by me in the first and b, the Post
Master General in the second, Of the two
contained in his letter. lfthis be the case,
it is apparent that the P. Nj. General and
his Ex'Deputy at Brandon are in the same
category; and if he removes me for making
free with Captain Tyler's name in the first
resolution. the Captain must remove him for
taking the same liberty in the second. 1t
is rather an awkward position Of things, un.
doubleday; but | am really unable TO per-
ceive .ow it can be avoided, unless the
Post M ,ster General is expected to monopo-
Ike the privilege of speaking i'll ofour ad'
mirable Chief Magistrate. His resolution
Is certainly, if it has any meaning, rather
more PERSONALLY than mine, and must De more
affecting 10 Mr.. Tyler, if he really is the
conscientious gentleman that he adveriises
himself TO lie. These filings at ones moral
sensibilities are impolite, 10 say the least of
them. If the President thinks proper 10
withhold from the people Bank, or Tar.
if. or Distribution Law in consequence of
the shocks which these great measures oc.
casion his conscience, don't know why he
should be published as '-miSguided man."
by the Post Master General-Hovever
this is no affair ofmine;
Thou can'st no. say did it; never shake
Thy CORY locks at me-
have only 10 add, for the information of
hose interested, tina, the change in the Post
Office nj Brandon, whatever it may have
effected on the score of serriIiiy has added
no great strength 10 the cause of 'Tylerism'
in Vermont, as the new Deputy p. NJ. IN
common with the Loco'FocO party through
out the State, remembering the touching
evidence of ardent attachment to HENRY
CLAY which the President is said to have
exhibited a, the Harrisburgh Convention
''beStOtcs but a tinId confidence upon John
Tyler" Yours very truly,
