"comes it strong' on the Tyler Admlnlstra-
ton. The wings are, occasionally, pretty Sc
we're in that concern, but here is a democratic
representative from the Granite State who
sprinkles the pepper about most lavlshly.
We admire his sentiments, if not his manner;
his opinion of John Tyler and his adlolnistra-
ton is precisely that entertained by nineteen
,ventietbs of all the democrats in the Union.
NEWPORT, IN. H.) May 8, '43.
SrR:-At the request of several Of the in
habitants of the town Of Lempster, (New
Hampshire) [ send you the enclosed petition
for the establishment of a new post office at
East Lempster, and the appointment of a post
master. The petition is respectfully signed
BY individuals ofboth political parties, and the
request they make for the establishment of a
most office is reasonable, and in my opinion
oupht TO be granted, as East Lempster is very
near the centre of the town of Lempster. on
the new mail route from Gilsum to Goshen,
at the point of intersection by that part of the
route from Claremont via Lempster to Boston.
This is the truth about the matter, although
do not suppose that such a consideration
would influence your official course in relation
to it. make this representation IN regard to
the site of the proposed office, because my
constituents, who are interested, request me
to make it, not because | expect or wish to
have you give any heed 10 my suggestions,
having now no favors to ask of you, IN your
official capacity at least.
The signers of the petition also request me
to add nv recommendation to their W ioI
the appointment of MIR. Samnel p. Caulkins to
the office of postmaster. If he were an honest
true hearted democrat | should skorn to do it.
Humble as | am in the politicalworld, would
not eow, for reasons which you can readily
understand, recommend a friend for Office 10
YOU or any of the corrupt and venal clique
who constitute the present Administration |
speak politically, and the eplthets | use ] ap-
ply 10 the administrator as a whole, and not
individually, and OF course exempt yourself
from their application.
But, i'm relation to Mr.. Caulkins, it is sufi-
cient to say that he is one of the three Hill
renegades in the town of Lempster, and there
fore a very proper man for you to appoint. He
possesses the very qualifications for which the
members of the present administrator (ynur-
self excepted) are most distinguished, viz ::
teachery 20 his principles aud his party, and
therefore must be an acceptable acquisition
to the corps OF Office holders under the CON-
mandTof Captain Tyler. hope you will ap-
point him. sir, for / know Of no man hereabouts
who would represent the Administration so
we'll always excepting yourseli1 in their two
leading characteristics, viz: restitution OF
principle and political renegadism. Your late
apDointmeDts in this vicinity have all been of
the ultra bluelight federal stamp Of politicians,
and the renegades have taken such conduct
on your part in high dudgeon do not know
what more | can add to recommend Mr.. Caul-
kins TO your favorable consideration.
Respectfully, your obedient servant.
EDMUND BURKE.
