VICE pRFsIDENr pRErKlNR,ncr

For some time past, tho character of Hon. John
c. Breckenridge, Vice President Of tho United States
has been assailed in the most shameful manner by
tain opposition presses 1t has been charged that he
used his official position President Of tie Senate
to procure for Senator Rice the long term Of service
The lettor of Mr.. Dickns, Secretary Of the Senate
which we publish in another column, completely sets
this charge at rest by showing that Mr. Breckinrdge
had nothing to do with the drawing of lots which
took place in open Senate, and IN the presence Of
numerous spectators. We hope that those papers
which have given currency to this alsehood will now
be sufficiently influenced by candor and fairness to
publish tho facts as they appear in the official Journal
of the Senate.
