This interchangeable representative of the State of Lous
and advocate of the principles of free trade has Just
left us for his native county, bearing with him the best
wishes of all who knew him. Just before he left the
city he had the satisfaction of reforming one of the old
errors of the Pension Office, which will be hailed with
singular pleasure by all those invalid pensioners who
have heretofore been debared from their rights by an
assumed statute of limitations.
The following communications, so honorable to the
late Secretary of the Navy and Attorney General
deemed of sufficient Importance to be published not only
on account of the gentleman himself whose zeal
stoned them, but account of hundreds of our fellow
citizens who will now be enabled to receive the

gallant defenders
