coveted appointment which you have slavishy
lsbored to obtain. The only ohJsei of M Aote
was to inform yoC what soma Of your friends
were saying OF you, and to express regret that
you should have been induced to give yourself
to the service OF those whose openly avowed
object was to reward traitors, to punish loyal
citlzene, and to degrade and distract the coun
try, by making its Government suoservent TO
tne party, who, but yesterday, sought lis utter
destruction, aud who have not yet repentsd OF
their wickeaness.

perance, and believing that your nut 40 ;arIan
principles would ever prompt on, not only 10
