The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1856-03-21

tB- The charge thai Gen. Culom had
appointed Free Sellers or Black Republicans
to the subordinate clerkships, turns out to

unfortunate as to have appointed to one of
the subordinate clerkships gentleman with
Free Soil proclivlties, it would have been a
gross outrage upon the whole South. But
luckily he didn't happen to make any such
mistake The right to commit such blunders
belongs exclusively to our political oppo.
nents, and they don't seem to be very chary
