position does not always make its
appearance in bold and open hos

ed. But when it is founded in some
personal pique or disappointment,
it more frequently comes with a
concealed dagger. by finding other
most excellent and worthy gentle
men. self-made, extremely honest
and men who are gifted in finances

the ship Of State Of it's heavy and
depressing debt without any aid

catch some poor dyspeptic, worried
and wasted with the ravages Of

his medicine kills or cures, so he is
enriched. 1t is not prudent that we
tell all we believe or know about
this matter. The gentlemen whose
names have seen mentioned as Gov.
Porter's successor are all known to
me. They are good men; but will
any one say that they will do more
TO protect the interest of the whole
