members who sneered at the "Gibraar of Whig-
gerry that, under the Wing corporation, the most
OF the subordinate officers were Democrats.

proved that the Executive could not select SO udicousy

MIR. Scott, OF Fauquier then made the manly and
able remarks, which we elsewhere copy at length
from the Wing. Mr.. Ferguson replied, in his way.
