Now, we affirm there is NOT ONE WORD OF TRUTH
in what The TI,b,ne here states TO be fact. All that
is true is that Mr. Fillmore red some halfdoEen

thrust into Office by the active agency Of Mr. Seward
and his devotees at Washington, BECAUSE THEY WERE
HOSTILE TO Mr.. FILLMORE This was especially true
of the Buffalo appointments, and nobody kno ws this
better than The Tribune"
Now we do not care how few The
Express makes these proscripts, for the
principle is unaffected by numbers; but
there were more than some half dozen or
bakers dozen of these cases. Among
them we recall the names Of Palmer V.
Kellogg of Utica, Marshal of the Northern
District of New-YOrk, with the Wing Post
masters appointed by Gen. Taylor at Al

those whom he thus prescribed uniformly

Again, we demand proof that these men

simply running ever the list. The "hos-

have been evinsed, if at all, in favoring
Gov. Stewards election as U. S. Senator,
after Mr.. Fillmore had been chosen to a
much higher office.
