that journal is pleased to denominate freesoiler
or abolitionsts. We know nothing of the per
sons thus accused-but in the case of Mr.. Jos

as set forth in the Crescent is wholly erroneous

rest of it is unworthy of belief.
The above paragraph appeared in the LOUISE
ana Courier of yesterday. 1t is in reply to an
article in the Crescent of the day before, cen

Administration to freesoilism in the dispensatisn

ment.
The Courier further remarks that the gentle
men denominated in the Crescent as freesoilers
and abolitionists fill petty post-offices in the
State of New York and New England" and that
they know nothing of the persons thus ac-
eused." This is an admission which we hardly
expected from our neighbor, on all other mat
tiers, and particularly those which recommend
his party to favor, so well posted and SO power
fully eloquent. But, neighbor, you are in error
in stating that the offices are not valuable The
most of them are very lucrative, and if they
were not, we cannot possibly see how that oper-
ates change of principle. Be the offices g pet

pointment of freesoilers, to the exclusion of the
patriotic democracy, would as clearly show the
sectional tendencies of the President as if they
were the first places in his gift.
But as the editor processes so much ignorance
regarding these appontees, and as we believe
that he has not carefully read the article in our
columns, we will again enumerate some of them,
hoping that hereafter all knowledge of the same

eluded the ladder of political power will not be
denied

ran for Governor of the State Of New York on
the Van Buren, ticket, That ticket, as is well
known, was entirely freesoil, and made up Of
freesoil issues alone, and was opposed to the
regular democratic nominee (Cass) and the whie
ticket. Its object was to PROSTATE every thing
approaching to Conservatism. He stood through
out this political struggle by the side Of Martin
Van Buren,. And now, four years after these
transactions transpired, he is rewarded, for his
nnpatriotic conduct, by an appointment as
