inaccuracies in the report of their interview with Gen.

that they did not present adayits from Mr. Sutherland
denying that Mr. Van Buren had made dishOnora0e
proposition to him. but they did lay before the President
afdsvits from other gentlemen 70 whom Mr. Sutherland
had made such a denial. With Mr.. Sutherland person
ally they had no conversation They did not say that

sustains the removal Of Van Buren from the Vienna
Commssionership high grounds. 1t asks II any fault
can be found with the President for removing Van

guilty OF any intentional wrong at Vienna, or, indeed OF
any unusual oversight neglect OF duty and says the
office was not created for Van Buren, and he has no

clear right 10 remove him II he thought anybody else
could perform its duties satisfactorily and that
the Inconvenience OF the deposed Commissioner which
he suffers on account OF his removal, is trivial compared
with that OF the whole people.
