the members of the WING allow Mr. Henry W. Ellis
worth our Charge Stockholm to escape from his unen
vabe position through the loophoe formed by his letter
published in late Indiana paper. That letter reads very
much if especially intended for the public eye and being
thus viewed must utterly fail to produce the desired effect
1t said that the American Consul at Stockholm had
reported the facts concerning Mr. EllswoEths unworthy
duct before the administration of Mr. Polk was brought to
