az We published Saturday letter from DIR.
Green, President OF Hampden Sidney correcting "a
slight naccuracy" of ours We do not gather from
the letter precisely what the 'naccuracy" But
we gather very distinctly, that the DR.. wishes to be
considered as impartial judge in the matter while
he takes occasion to avow very cmphatcay his par
talities. Before the meeting of the late Board he
gave the Faculty to understand that he decidedly

might be perfectly mt case that there would be no
difficulty about the confirmation of their nominee
He has gone over on 'tother side-and his
claim to iupartality scarcely be allowed.
80 The New York Courier gives the fol-
lowing sketch Of the present aspect of the
political field. There Is evidently conviction
gaining ground in the land, that the Briga-
der is not the for the post he holds This
sentiment may spring in part from the clamor of dis.
affected office seekers who have been unsuccessful in
their petitions for place But it not confined Who'll
y to that The Partially exhibited for dsreputa
BILE factions in selections for office has excited distrust
among patriotic classes who desire no Office The a,-
poiutment of such characters VIM. j. Brown con-
vcted, in the face of the American Congress of du-
pcity and falsehood, betrays contempt for public
virtue in high station not attering American pride
No party except the Free Soiers who have received
the lions share of the Government patronage appear
to be satisfied In every quarter symptoms of dis
content apparent The Union Democrats of the
North and the Union Democrats of the South seem
on the verge Of rebellion, The State Rights or Strict
Constructionists will be forced to swallow the Pacific
Railroad, follow suit The Brigadier is no General
jackson to brave the storm and subdue rebeious
spirits:
