ASEoDorE OF THE PRESIDENT.

A correspondent of the Boston Journal relates
the annexed incident honorable alike to the Presi.
dents Judgment and feelings. Anecdotes are not
always founded in fact but if this be not true, it is
very like the truth and from what we have con-
ceiyed Of the Presidents character, we should not
question its truth
al responsible and lucrative office in distant part of
the country the recommendation of two United States
Senators, and the Senate confirmed the appointment
This gratifying event produced exhilratng effect up
the successful applicant for Office who far forgot
himself to indulge in glorious jollifcaton As he
was lodging in fashionable hotel his disgraceful con-
duct became known, and freely commented on--in-
Decd it became the town talk The Senators who had
recommended him to the favor Of the President finding
that he had disgraced himself and unworthy of
fdence waited upon the President stated the facts and
asked for his removal from office. Gentlemen said the
President, in reply, this gentleman nominated by
your recommendation and at your solicitation
office under the Government, and the nomination
confirmed by the Senate. You now say that his habits
incorporate and that he is unworthy of the situation
be inevitable ruin to him. The shame and disappcint-
attending his dismissal from Office under suck cir
weua lead him to find soace in the ntoxicat
ing bowl, and he would become confirmed inebriate
whereas if this conversation is repeated to him, he may
and probably will, reform, and become sober and
empary citizen shall not remove him from office fol-
this offences bat this it has been the FIRST it viii b,
the last time can forgive him."
