Yours respectfully, J.. x
We have uttered no unknd words as respects
Mr. kirkpatrick, unless IL be unkind TO say of man
that he is not calculated to ill every Office in the land
We said that Mr.. X is honest and capable we did not
mean that his capabilities were such as this office re-
quires-and J. X. twists our language TO make us say
what he does We do believe that the Office OF State
Prison Inspector requires grade OF qualification diff
ferent from, and in some respects higher than Mr. h
possesses we believe ii should be filed By men who
have attained eminence phlanthropiss, aud not no.
torety partisans Ii Mr. X o. his friends see fit to
take ofeuse at this expression OF earnest conyic
ton so be il we have olresdy given fair notice that
while our views as to Political Economy and National
Policy are unchanged we have OugrOwn the habit Of
praisiDg every thing and every body labeled Wing, aud
decryDg all that stand opposed TO them Ii we speak
of the qualifications of candidates for Office mean
to say Just what we think of them and we think Mr.
Kirkpatrick better fitted for almost any other Office
than that of Prison Inspector. ri.
