THE ApMINfsTRArioN.-Franklin county
has been dishonoreG, and a giniiclive and
retaliatory spiri; would suggest that their be
no further affinity between i, ard the admin.
~istraton contributing 10 itsdisgrace. The ac-
commodating official, who has almost hid his
face from us, might relish this or he might
not. A view 10 future continuance in power
or further promotion might cause an anxiety
10 receive our sufrages, but apart from this,
we imagine in matters lutte 10 his exceller,.
CIV 10 what degree our diss Satisfaction may
proceed, as we scarcely possess the me'ns
10 make ourselves Of any annoyance. Gov.
| Pollock has c~erteinly lost our respect, to say
| nothing of confidence. II was rreculsr and
anti-American to make appointments con-
corning which he afterwards was necessiia.
ted 10 enter the plea that he had supposed
certain individuals to be in connection with
the American order. Ii was s~uporbly silly and
ridiculous 10 make another appointment, and
argue 10 It's favor the competency OF but a sin
gle individual, tofll ~sucifplace. 1t wasungen-
erous, irregular, and the violation of at least
moralobligation, iorcceive into confidence as a
counsellor and adsiser,an avowedenemy ,oour

IF. |, was unwise 10 refuse the correction
of a., error, of the commission of which sub

rciled in terms respectful and urgent. II
scarcely comported with The dignity OF the
Chief Magistrate of a Commonwealth 10
speak lightly Of a delegation o. ffeemen' VINO
had visited him in the exercise Of an un-
doubted right, and 10 attribute fanaticism and
an over abundance Of zeal to O constituency
for whom they were the nicuthpisce. 1t vas
a breach OF confidence aud ofgood manners, TO
ode, for the inspection Of a casual visitor, a
private letter which was The product of a
desire to save his Excellency the u1oflihca-
ton that a different course in his ccrrespon.
dent might have caused. 1t was a lamenla-
BILE exhibition of weakness 10 spread before
visitors a lengthy petiiion,the prayer of which
hehad felt II his duty t%otefuse, from The sheer
est motive Of vanity, it would seem, and 10
show how m~anfully he could resist the tide
~ofpopular will. Blu; this is the end. We
have recorded our dissent from The several
acis Of the Governor in the appointments
from this county, and are disposed 10 make
nc further reference 10 the matter, unless i'm
pelled by circu instances. Future Executive
acts thai may possess the merit IN our humble
Judgment OF being right, shall be commended
but what we deem wrong shall be unrelent-
ineIy and unbesi,aiiogly condsmned. Amer
leans should be a little suspicious OF the fu.
lure course Of that man who could 50 wan
tonly contribute 10 their distraction and en-
barTassmeut in any locality possessing The
least importance.
