that he was "thc one man" referred 10,
and Chas. Woods was the name represent
ed by "the person recommended" These
men have supplied motives to mind Which
has seen fit to differ with them in regard
to its niews of certain facts. The process
of reasoning is laid down in black and
white:
1st-They fully endorse Mr.. Sargent as
the man for Postmaster.
2d-They are Federal Officers, loyal
and law abiding citizens, good men and
supporters of the Government.
3d-Dr. Henry does not endorse Mr.
Sargent ms Tie man for Postmaster.

There are several men in this town, my
self among the number, who have been
demonstrated to he Copperheads by this
same process. The concluding paragraph
of the petition in which the six wise men
modestly inform the Department. in cases
where charges are necessary, sour duty
as United States officers as we'll as our
rights as priratc citizens, will most assur-
eddy prompt us to adrise yow thereof, aud
we hope and trust you will respect and
place confidence in oar united recommend
ation," is too arrogant ard impudent to
mcr, criticism. Their titles as United
States officers may furnish them with the
means OF working mischief where they are
unknown; their rights as private citizens
are not superior to the rights of any Other
six citizens, however they might compare
in capacity.
The honesty and integrity of Charles
Wood requires no backing from me, or
from any other man among those who
know him. That the Governor, Chief
Justice, and four others of the chief rep
reseniatives of the Federal authority in this
distant Territory may succeed in blackcn-
ing his character, aud running his reputa-
ton in Washington city, where he is I'M
known. where they are supposed to be
what they are not, the evidence before me
will not permit me to doubt for whatever
may be said of the intention or of the
facts imagined by these six wise men,
their petition is now on file in Washington,
representing the "person recommended"
by I" the one man." q dishonest knave
unfit to be trusted with tho correspond
ence of these wise and honest men.
However unavailing unsu,lied honesty,
unpretending modesty and merit may have
been against this army of undeserved ii.
ties in Washington. have the consolation
Of believing that the simple name Of
Charles Wood, Shoemaker, will in the
community where he is known. DO honored
and respected long after the titles Of VIM.
Pickering, Governor, and his compears are
forgotten. Very Respectfully,
FRANCIS HENRY.
