having declined TO continue certain Assistant Mar
shas who were appointed by his predecessor, Col.
Little. We take it for granted no one will deny
the right of the Marshal to pursue the course he
did; and so far as party policy is concerned, it
has been the uniform custom of both the Demo-
cratic and Wing parties to select from their own
ranks respectively such persons as they thought
proper to select for public station-with this diff
ference, however, the Wing leaders declaring before
the election that, in bestowing Offices they will
know no party distinctions, and after tie election
turning out Democrats and putting in Wings
prescribing with much system and ferocity as if
their chief business to prescribe opponents and
reward friends. Complaints from such quarter,
under such circumstances, are therefore alike alb
surd and hypocritical, and can have no weight
with intelligent and thinking men.
But the Register has kept back the main fact in
this matter, and that is, that none of these Assis-
tant Marshals intmated in any manner to the
Marshal that they desired or even cared to be con-
tinued. We have reason to know that he held up
his appointments to the latest moment, supposing
that these Assistants might give some intimation
of their wishes feelings; but they were silent,
and thus left him no alternative. If indeed they
desired to retain their places, it would have been
easy for them to have said so if party pride pre-
vented them from saying so, then they cannot
complain that as oarttzans they were dismissed.
The Registers fourshes cf small capitals and
italics amount to nothing Wesley Jones is not
to be affected in reputation and standing by any
thing of that Sort or indeed by any thing the Re-
gister may insinuate or say.
The Register goes into crocodile efusions over
that 'sixtcen dollars "-he 6leats with as much
feeling over it as if the sum was sixteen hundred
instead of sixteen The "Grand Sultan at Wash
ington," as he is styled by that paper will not be
likely to call into his service, or to retain in his
service, those Federalists who, on the authority
ofsuch fellows as Foss and Fogg, represented him as
an Aboltionist and the enemy Of Southern institu-
tons.
