Private Dalzelps application for the Bel
eian mission is endorsed by Messrs. Nor.
ton. Moves, Garfield. Banks; Matthews, ana
Voorhees,, and yet it is more than probable
that neither of them would have endorsed
his note for twenty-five dollars. Everybody
will endorse anybody's application Tor Of
Tee, because it costs nothing and avoids the
unpIeasantness Of refusal, but that the
custom is pernicious is made evident by the
case to which allusion is u,ade.-Ale1andr'a
Gazette.
The Gazette tells the truth here; but the
transaction about recommendations Tor
office is sometimes slightly varied. A man
sometimes has the inside track so decidedly
that an office hunter has to sacrifice some
what for his influence. Then, il the Office
hunter has little property, his ieudorsc-
ment will be desirable. 1t may he sald'
therefore, that while man who recon-
mends an applicant for office never. endorses
his note, it may happen that the applicant
endorses the note OF the man who recon-
mends him, or paws 6 little money. which is
better. n. .a .4q - ...~is' s'
