WASHINGTON, February Z, lS43.
M,ssss Eplroas In my letter OF the
3ls, JaDnory there is title given 10 MIR.
1;.orpe Evans that | wish corrected: You
call HIM "Mr. Governor Evans which is no.,
the cosnomen intended BY me, "but .lr. George
Evans / am uol aware that any the dif-
erent branches Of our name have ever oetn
.sGogernors;" bu we have had Senator's and
Generals in the family, an those stations are
equally as important and dignihed as The ior-
ner. You will, Messrs. Editors, please state,
INA, MIR. Gle rye Evans OF Maine IS now IN
this city, and that r,imnr assigns him station IN
the Cabinet # General Taylor. He is gentlc-
man Of fine Ia cnts, but Wing and TarlH
man. or course he is in the inc OF seltctlon
a. may b. any other distinguished wing. II Is
mi the business of the undersigned 10 interfere
in matters where he has no controlling power.
/ therefore, Mr.. Evans will b. as good Cabl-
u.t Minister to General Taylor as any man oil
that side Of the House that has been named
and much preferable 10 many, II liberal views
10 hi. poiitic,l opponents are an index oil his
future life
That grea, Wing Of Georgia, the man who
defeated the settlement Of tho Slavery aglta-
lion in the past session Of Congress the man
,Lat was manned and maltreatcd, 'cut up and
slain at At,lanla, Georgia, for which 50 mucn
.vmnalhy was expressed has started new
hare from The cover, and instead OF attending
~ business that would rebound TO his credit,
IN defence Of Southern rights, is tusled in q
Few vocation of hunting up objections 10 IN
structions given TO the commissioners TO Next
O.. who were charged with the interchange Of
the Treaty with that Republic. lie will find
his labo; all lost. The President withstood,
during the late war, The malevoence OF the
enemies of the cause Of their country, 9th at
home and abroad. He can also Withstand the
onsei OF the great "cut-up,' and the SANE party
now, when he is about retiring from The public
service, with an administration brilliant IN VIC
tories. happy in possession, and glorious for the
country, aud which will compare with tue best
DAYS of Rspuolicanisp. No nation can boast
Of such prosperit, as our own. No nation can
compare with the prosperity of these Emitted
states And no man has done more to guide
the ship Of State to this prosperity han James
X. Polk. History will award him high STA
ton among the patriots OF this land
Some men whom Senator Footc described
the other day in The Senate, on the judge Nc.
Lean debate, will also be noticed IN history;
they are in politics the chums OF .r. Stephens
of Georgia; but history will place them where
the memory of Arnold will no. be forgotten,
a org with their oUn.
The frs, Presiden, of the United States, in
implorng blessings on our country, employed on
a certain occasion the following language: |
quoe for the special benefit of Judge Mclean
and Senator Corwin. and the whole party, who
felt for Mexico. and acted out their schemes
for Mexico. General Washington said, On
eternal King of men and angels, elevate our
minds each low and partial passion thence
" dispel ard this great truth be known, that
none but those who aid the public cause can
" shield their country OF themselves IRON
charm.
The i,nlics are my OWE; the language is
from one who was ever wachui OF h5 whole
country, aud | send it TO you, as mirror OF
some gentlemen who figured somewhat during
The war on The wrong side of the question Of
duty 10 their country.
Yours, NED EVANS.
