We agree with the Sentinel that many oil til
gentlemen named were put 10 BED POLITICAL
some time since. To carry nut / dgurr, how
ever, that our cJtemporary employs, II viii appea
to those who are skilled, like tie Sentinel, in
king comparisons, that the persons VIM playe

enumerated were we'll adapted to act he Inferior

ted that the talents vi little joe" were exactly
suited to the character asst sned him u genlieniaa
Of tho bed chamber, to George W. Summers.
Mr.. Kiycs was put bed, We believe. by Nj
Isaac Penny backer; gentleman who worth'l5
