APOLOGY FOR MIR. AUGUSTUS SCIEIL
This brings me back to the original fight in Tam
many Hall; but before going into that it is necessary
TO say few words of the position really occupied by
Mr.. Augustus Schel-a pOsitionmost unhsppily msun-
derstOod during the tendency of that contest 1t must
not be supposed, from the part taken by Mr. Schel in
the Tammany struggle, that he guilty Of an nten-
tiona reachery to the friends the by which
bis present exalted position achieved. Your
respondept believes and has the best for be-
6eying that Mr.. S. was placed in the false position
which he occupied for a time in connection with Fer
nandO Wood through receptions practiced upon him,
and the inrgues and false representations of those
who should have been his friends but were endeavor-
ing to mislead him for their advancement 1t is
no imputaon on mans character to say that he has
been deceived or that he has been mised by rel ying
on the statements of those who false and reacher
cus The purest men are the most cOnfding where
they trust at all and the fault Of over-condence in in
diyiduals is at worst an amable weakness.
MR. sCTELL SET RIGHT UPON THE RECORD.
Mr. Schen, az have reason to know, returned from
Washington after his appointment with but two objects
in vew the FIRST to be true to the party with which
he had always been assocated and, secondly, to ad
minister the duties of his Office in the way most likely
10 promote the peace and welfare of Mr. Buchanan's
Administration. Falling into bad hands at first he
was deceived as to the of procuring these
suits and made to adopt course that apparently
fasifed his antecedents and for time alienated the
confidence Of those who both were and are his stead
lest and staunchest friends. But now, since the mo-
tives and influences surepttously brought to bear
upon him have been exposed and discarded, it il seen
and felt that whstever may have been the temporary
tendency of his action his intentions always just
honorable and faithful lie fell into the set for
him pretty much as Mr.. Marvine was entrapped by
the Larkn letter and other ingenious devices; but his
liberation was eected-some rough force having been
necessary for the operation-and one rejoices
more deeply, prayerfuly, more profoundly, than
our new Collector at having escaped from the oath
some and epuve contact to which the arts of Mr. John
G.. Mather--of whom more heresfter-for brief time
tempted him TO submit.
NEW CATECiIISM FOR OPPORTUNITIES.
Your correspondent can best sum up what he knows
10 be Mr. Sehels present position by few pertinent
and important questions and answers, which all our
city politicians would do well to have engraved upon
their memories:
Question-Who reioices most that the unfortunate
connection between Wood and Schell was samma-
ry and dsastrously terminated by the result of the
late Tammany election Acknowledgements Schell.
O. Who felt the record of past life of purity and
nprghtness rising in judgment against him when he
made those visits to the Mayors Office about month
or six weeks ago? A. Augustus ScheI.
@. Who now declares himself determined that,
under no circumstances, tempted by any official
station viii he again diegrace himself by
4" ciating with Fernando Wood or any other scoun-
drel"i A. Augustus Scheh.
Q. Who means to profit in the future by the lesson
Of the past And echo answers thrice-Augustus
Schell, Augustus Schen, Augustus Schell.
In conclusion, should any one assert at the Pewter
Mug, the bar of yammany, any other fount of pure
Democracy, that Fernando Wood s to exercise the
control the actions appointments of the new
Collector, which he boastfuy and most falsely asserts
that he will your correspondent weuld in the most
friendly and confidential way, request the individual
20 asserting to take copy of these Questions and
Answers " to Mr. Schell himself and there have his
doubts removed.
