IN the Second Auditors office The renowned Meredith
who was heard of in Philadelphia and nowhere else. as
politician, has this day removed from the office of the
Second Auditor the following gentlemen:
Michael Keller Abraham NJ Farquhar, Christopher
Columbus Cole George Washington Kimberly, Benia-
min Frank Brown Thomas Jefferson Robinson, James
Madison Minor.
AS these individuals were the very best clerks in Office
gentlemen OF spouess integrity, rreproachabe behaviour,

take that they have been removed solely
account of their names.
lst Michael, who led the armies Of Heaven in the first
war for principle.
I'd Abraham who laid the foundations of Israel and
was the chosen one OF the Lord.
3D. Christopher Columbus who discovered world for
Freedom to raise her Ebenezer in.
4th. George Washington, who gave to American free
men their Independence.
9Th. Bcnjam,n Franklin, who clapped the lightning
rod upon Liberty, and saved her in her hour of trial
9th Thomas jefferson, the apostle of democracy; and
9TH. James Madison, who declared war against Great
Britain and went for free trade and sailors rights against
the world.
Surely in Office in the heroic age, is presented
list of worthless which will asonsh the American peo
pie. We suppose, inasmuch as the Second Washington
has repudlaed all his pledges he must have terrible
upathy to everything that bears the OF the who
were the associates of his usrous predecessor in the
war OF the revolution. Here IS proscrpton-downrgh

Thus does the heroic age counter irritation
upon the American body. Thus do the democratic
sofs, mot the gentlemen turned today who were
gued by the music of Buena Vista, find their Tayorsm
scorched out of them Thus does the iron heated to
white heat enter their souls for the great work OF purf-
cation. Take IT, gentlemen it is painful now, but it will
work out state of things which, in the end, will make
the keepers trembe and toppe down the last batement
