Another Letter from Major Downing.
On the Road to the Witt.)
August—, 1847. $
Mr. Gai.eb A Seiton :
My,leaf old friendt: Isposeyou'll|?e atnaziuly
disnpinted to find that I’m away off here, pushin
mi' to the seal of war, and didn’t call.to see you
whdn l come through Washington. But you
niukt’nl blame tne for it. for l couldn’t help it
the President wouldn't let me call: he said
wa«.getting quite too thick With you, writing
teller* io ybtf and all that. And when he
spoke about the letters he looked kind of red and
showed considerable spunk.
8ays he, Major Downing, l have pot a good
deal ol confidence in you as a friend of my ad
ministration ; and if yon nre a friend to it, yon
must let Gales and Seaton alone; keep out of
their way and have nothing to do with them;
they are dangerous, mi»chief-maklng fellers,
eternally plckln at my administration, all weath
ers. Let me try to keep things ever so snug,
and lay mv plans ever so deep, they are sore
to dig them all up, lug them into the Ioielli-
gencer, and blase ’em all over the country.—
Confound their plcturs.they are the most trouble
some customers an administration ever had;
they've come pret'y near swamping me two- or
three times. So, If you are my friend, 1 warn
you .not to be so thick with Gales and Seaton.
Well, says i, Colonel, you know I am a
friend to you and your administration, as tnqch
as I ever was to the old Ginrrat and his admin*
Utration; and I shall stand by you and do every
thing l can to help you out of thisscrape you’ve
got into about the war But I don’t know as that
need to make me break with Gales and Seaton.

hardly think thag are quite so had as von think
for. They may not mean tody you so much
hurt* when they put these things into their pa
per, and only put them in because they think
folks want to know what’s goin on. Mr. Rich
ie sometimes puts things into his paper that
folks think don't do you no good.
The President give two or three hard chaws
upon his cud oftobacco, and says he, Yes, Ma
jor, that’s too true, it must be confessed; and
it annoys me beyond nil patience. But then 1
have to forgive it and overlook it, because Mr.
Richie don’t mean it. The old gentleman is
always sorry for It, and always willing to take
it back. And then he’s such a tuff old feller to
fight the federalists, I can’t have a heart to scold
at him much about his mistakes and blunders.
Weli, says I' Colonel, being you’ve named
federalists, l want lo know if any of them ani
mats is really suppo-ed to be alive any where in
the country now-a-days. Seeing sich awful ac
counts about'em In theUnion paper all the lime,
I inquired all the way along through New Eng
land, where they used to be the thickest, and 1
couldn't get track of one; and when I asked the
folks If there was any federalists any where In
them quarters, thev all stared at me and said
they didn’t know what sort of critters they wns.
When I got to Downfngvllle l asked uncle
Joshua about it. He said, in his younger days
there used to be considerable many of’em about,
but they wasn’t thought to be dangerous, for
they never was much given to fighting. But
he said he guessed they’d all died nut long ago,
for he hndn’t come across one this twenty years.
So now Colonel, says I, how is it they nre so
thick io Mr. Richie’s paper all the time?
At that he give me a very knowing kind of a
look, and lowered his voice down almost to a
whisper; and sav* he, Major, I'll tell you h«rr
that is. When Mr. Richie was a young man
he used to figh . a good deal with the federalists,
and took a good deal of pride in it; and now the
fancies and scenes of his youth all seem to
come back fresh to his mind, and he can’t think
nr talk about any thing else. You know that's
oftentimes the way with old people. As he al
ways used to have the name of a smart fighter,
I give him the command of the ne wspa per battery
here to defend my administration. But 't was
as great a mistake as 'iwas wbeo I sent Taylor
into Mexico; 1 didn’t know my mao. No mat
ter what forces was gathering to overthrow my
administration, Mr. Richie somehow didn't
seem to see 'em; no matter how hard they fired
at me. he didn’t seem to hear it; and when I
railed to him to Are back, he would ronse up
and touch off a few sqoibs with about as good
aim as the boys take when they fire crackers on
the 4th of July, and did about as much eiecn-
tlon. At last I found out a way that I could
make the old veteran fight Hk# a Turk and hold
on like g bulldog. It was by giving him a no-
lion at any lime that be was fighting with led-
erajjsis. Since I made that discovery he’s been
more hely to me. Whenever I see the enemy
entrenching himself around me, and bring
ing up his batteries to fire into my adminis
tration, all I have to do is to whisper in
Mr. Richie’s ear and say, "Mr. Richie, the
air smells of federalism; you may depend
upon it there is federalists abroad some
where." In a minute, you’ve no idea with what
fury the old gentleman flies around, and mounts
his heaviest guns, and sets his paper battery in
a roar. His shots fly right and left, and some
times knock down friends as well as foes. To
be sure they don’t make a very great impression
upon the enemy; but then there’s thisadvantage
in it: if he don't kill or beat off the enemy, he
keeps the administration so perfectly covered
up with smoke that the enemy can’t see half the
time where to fire at o.«. On the whole, Mr.
Richie is a valuable man to my administration,
notwithstanding all his mistakes and blunders.
Jest then the door opened, and who should
come in but Mr. Richie himself. As he open
ed the door he keiched the sound of the two
fast words the President was saying.
"Mistakes and’blnndersl” says Mr. Richie.

Tribute to tux Memory or Mr. O'Connell.
In conformity with the arrangements of the
Irish Repealers of Savannah, a procession was
formed at the Exchange yesterday in the follow
ing order:
Irish Jasper Greens.
Rev. Mr O’Connell, the Orator of the day.
Irish Repealers of Savannah.
Hibernian Society.
Irish Union Society.
Citizens of Savannah.
The procession was formed into line by Mr.
Finney, who olheiated as Marshal of the day,
and marched to the Catholic Church, where a
most eloquent and touching eulogy on the life
and character of the Liberator of Ireland was
delivered by the Rev. Mr. O'Connell, of Co-
Iambus, to rfn attentive and sympathising
audience. The Church was filled including the
galleries, and the whole celebration worthy ol
the fame or the honored son of Ireland, to whose
memory this tribute of respect was paid.
New Cotton.—The first bale of the season
was received by the cars last evening from the
plantation of Mr. lease Wbst, of Houston
county, and consigned to Messrs. Hamilton,
Hardeman & Co. The first bale last season
was from the same plantation, and received on
the 13th, and the first bale in 1845 was also
from the same plantation, and was received on
the 28th July.
Gen. Taylor’s Letter.—We call attention
to the letter, extracted from the New-Orleans
Della, which will he found io another column.
Like all others proceeding from bis pen, it is
marked by the saute sturdy republicanism and
unselfish patriotism which belong to his charac
ter. The answer to the question which we
have italicised strikes us as peculiarly signifi
cant; he cannot cordially approve, but the du
ties of his position forbid him to censure, he
therefore declines expressing his opinion. Such
is the construction which we place upon it
others, no doubt, wilt differently construe it, but
it cannot be tortured into an approval.
Roads are untied against the prosperity of Savan
nah ? Do they not have sagacity and foresight
enough to know, that unless they put forth tre
mendous energy, industry, and extend their ac
quaintance, and that too with the employment
of all the money at their command, that so far
from the grand scheme of Internal improvement

men, are travelling through the towns and vil
lages, and country too, forming acquaintances,
making friends, distributing their cards and cir
culars, soliciting patronage and receiving flatter

This is an example worthy of imitation by our
friends of Savannah. I have not met a Sevan-

ask again, why all this apathy? The people

tificial, yet one thing is lacking. Be not offend-

it, sees it, feels It. and many mourn it. You
lack energy—enterprise. Let your merchants,
instead of rnnning to the North, wholesale, in
Summer, come up to this salubrious climate,
cultivate acquaintances—be bland as they ah
ways are, familiar; dtstribnie their cards, cir
culars, Ac., establish agencies at important
points, viz: Cartersville, Kingston, Dalton,or
Cross Plains, and above all, at Rome. At the
latter place, (a place of Infinitely more impor

pecially after the completion of the Branch, from
Kingston to Rome,) Is old friend Gieu, formerly
of ihaConstitutionalist, an Agent or the Georgia
Rail-Road, with any amount of funds to advance
updn all produce, with an understanding that
the produce, of coiirse, is to be transported over
the Georgia, and, of necessity, Carolina Roads.
Savannah unrepresented, no Interest at stake, re

I cannot point out all the remissness of all yonr
people. I am the firm, ardent friend of yonr

Nothing more to-day, says the President
was only telling Major Downing how their
blunders there have come pretty near mining
the country, and how it is absolutely necessary
to get the staff out of tbelr hands somehow or
other before they quite finish the job. I’m go
ing now to try one more plan, Mr. Richie; but
be careful that you don’t say any thing about it
io the Union, and blow it all up. I tried once
taseqd Col. Benton on for the same purpose,
and Congress blowed that np. Then I sent
Trist on for the same purpose, and Scott has
blowed bim up. Now I’m agoing to send Ma

a eon ol watch upon them, yod know, lo-work
round and do the business up before any body
knows It. He Isn’t to prt to Scott nor Taylor,

don’t care what he gives. The fact is, Mr.
Richie, the country needs peace, and I’ll have
peace, cost what it will.
An excellent Idea,.says Mr Ritchie; an ex
cellent plan, sir. I’m lor peace at all hazards,
if it is to be found any where in Mexico—that
is, If we can get hold of It before Scott or Tay
lor does. And I think Major Downing is just
the man for.il—a trne stanch Democratic re-
E ublican ; and whatever he does will go for the
eneflt of the administration. Now the coun
try’s shine are aching pretty bad with the war,
if we can fix up a good smooth peace right off,
and not let Scott nor Taylor have any hand In
it, who knows, Mr. President, but it might
make our Aministration so popular that you
and I might both be elected io serve another
four years ? But wjjen in the Major to start?
Right off to night,; nays the President, or, rath

body In Washington finds out that he has got
back from Downingvllle. I have forbid his call-

they should find out or mistrust that he’s been
here, if they should get wind of the movement,
they would be sure to throw some constitutional
difficulty tn the way, and try to make a bad
botch of the business.

charged me not to leave the house, while he

gone,. Mr. Richie .fixed roe op a nice little bun

Gentlemen:—As a sojourner in North-West
ern Georgia, during the summer months from
1844 to the present time, 1 have had an oppor
tunity to see, hear and observe many things of
interest to the people of Savannah. Being
native Georgian by birth, education and
feeling too, it is natural that my State pride
should induce me to desire the trade, commerce
and interests of Savannah, fostered and cared
for by the whole people of the Slate.
Frequent suggestions have been thrown out
by letter writers from this section, aod transient
people from other parts of the State, for the
purpose of arousing up to diligence, and excit

mechanical interests of 8avannah, whose let

have been written with asperity. I assure you,
Gentlemen,and through you, our commercial
and commission friends in Savannah, that
as a friend of the coast trade of this Stale, I am
mortified at the apathy And general want of en

While every facility that works of Internal
Improvement can afford, lies open to Savan

MILLEDGEVILLE, AUG. 15th, 1847.
Gentlemen.—The canvass for Governor is
waxing warm la the newspapers of our oppo
nents, ir not among the people. Some of their
organs have worked themselves into a perfect
fever, and will need "sovereign remedies," alias
remedies administered by the people, teprodnee
state of convalescence. And "Old Wlthla-
coochee is the cause of ail this I Having from
youth to old age, served his country in the
tented field," periling his life often in that ser
vice; having discharged all duties Incum
bent upon him as a soldier and as a man, se
curing the commendations of his chiefs, and
distinguisoed promotion from his Government
in the former, and commanding the admiration
of his neighbors and friends in the latter—he
has been guilty of the crime of accepting a nomi
nation from a portion of the people as a candi
date for Governor, and lo 1 he has sorely afflict
ed the "Scribesand Pharfsles"of Democracy!
Verily do we feci for the wailings of those par
ly organs, who, one would be led to believe,
are exemplifying the fancy of the poet, where
be says:
"The dog star rages, nay, ’tis put a doubt,
All Bedlurn and Parnassus are let out."
In the shape ol blank speeches made In Con
gress and elsewhere, and in the shape of detrac
tion from the merits of one, of whose abilities
the Federal authorities at Washington for a
long series of years were satisfied ; one of
whose honor and department as a soldier, they
were justly proud; have they borne testimony
to the truth, that "the dog star rages." as well
in their sanctums as in the Heavens. Bright
constellations in political warfare are those,
who, remarkable in Ibelr foresight, take ground
to-day, abandon it the next, and then with rant,
fostion and detraction, endeavor to rally their
forces on to victory. Victory like this, II at
tained, is far worse than defeat; but victory,
like ibis,the sovereign people of Georgia will
never permit. It requires no prophet to fore
tell the result of such a canvass addressed to
the honest voters of good old Georgia.
But for ail rhfr,ft is well enough to note facts
connected with the canvass thus far, that the
people may well understand the artifices of our
opponents, and the manner in tfhich (like their
chief when in Congress) they dodge even their
own issues. To do this, brief reference only
will be necessary.
It was urged upon the people by the Demo
cratic press, and particularly by the organ of
this place, Immediately upon the nomination
of Mr. Towns, that his legal attainments, with
his past career as a Legislator when in the Sen*
aie of the State of Georgia, aod as a Represen
tative in Congress, afforded ample evidence of
his ability {for they will not concede ability to
Gen. Clinch) to discharge the duties of Gov
ernor. Now the Whigs have urged no objec
tions to Mr. Towns’legal attainments. They
have admitted that he is a lawyer of second
third rate standing in kls section of the Stale
but they denied that it required a lawyer, and
a lawyer alone, to administer the Slate affairs
and, for example, they cited to other States in
which Executives were chosen from the people,
and to our own State in the cases of Governors
Clarke, Lumpkin,. Ac., who never were and
never had been members ofthe legafprofeseion.
Bat above all things, was it denied that none
but a practising lawyer was capable of admin
istering the Government. Such a position the
people would never sustain, as it was exclu
sive in its benefits, forever barring other pro
fession! men, as well as the farmer, mechanic,
and merchant, the privilege of being elected
Chief Magistrate, however much they may be
esteemed qualified to discharge the dalles of the
station. In a short time, this legal qualification
principle was half way abandoned, or dodged,
by those who advanced it, as they plainly saw
the j ft excited the people’? indignation.
Mr. Towns, legislative career was then
days of wild legislation, and where did be in
voke economy In the disposition of the people’s
money? Not a word of response do the people
hear trom any quarterl On the contrary, an
examination of the Journals has proved most
conclusively that the legislation of Mr. Towns
has been banefill to the State, that he In part,
(and II he ions a leading member of the Senate
and an able one, to him, in a great degree) are
to be attributed much of the distress In the mone
tary condition of our State Banka which follow
ed his legislative career. He not only advoca
ted every measure calculated to injure the mone
tary aflhlrs of our State, but he voted against
every measnre ol precaution which wiser heads
there, then deemed necessary to prevent the
evils, ander which our people, of every class,
have since so severely suffered. Aod upon this
subject, they still are silent. His legislative
career Is now scarcely referred to—they have
dodged it, rather than investigate it, with the
bare exception of the Organ in Mlltedgeville,
which says that the same measures were sup
ported by "many of the wisest and Wkt men of
all parties." If the "many" of this Organ were
written feu>, and the "wlae»l and best" were writ
ten persons interested by loMtion, the Journals of
the Senate and Houer might feebly sustain
it; But it is denied that the Journals exhibit
any other fact than that the party with which
Mr. Towns acted, and he himself are respon
sible before the ccuniry for the measures refer
red to. If the Ftleral Union can show other
wise after ita stateaienta, it is bound to do so.—
Let ft not dodge this Issue alsof
From Mr. Towns’ Congressional career
great capital was to be made during the can
vass, hut a refererce to it, and particularly the
last Congress, slows that his ability mainly
consisted in dodging votes upon important
questions. Trur, an extract from a speech de
livered in 1838 far Buncombe, has been publish
ed, but it would have been much better for Mr.
Towns, had he, In that Congress, paid a little
more attention to the interests of Georgia,
other respects, than report sayp he did. Geor
gia had claims before that body which required
the services, and pressing services, of her Re
presentatives. Tie advocates tor the election
of Mr. Towns who boast of the speech referred
to, are asked if Hat gentleman’s zeal did not
flag where the Slate’s interests demanded other
services of him? If the writer mistakes not,
there was neglett, if not absolute refusal, to at
tend to the Stair’s interests in that very Con
gress, and it m<y be that memory will point to
Mr. Towns as dellnqnent in the one service,
as be was energetic, in the opinion of his friends,
in the other. But I leave this for his friends to
reflect and enlighten the people upon, at their
earliest leasure, with the remark that a public
man is accountable to the people for bis public
acts. <f
That it Is only as a public man Mr. Town*
has been referred to in the canvass. No
effort has been made to underrate his ability,
and no act of a purely personal character has
been referred to by the Whig press. The
Whigs have condncted the canvass fairly, and
will continue to do to. If to elect a Governor
becomes a settled principle with Democratic
organs in Georgia, that trie private business
transactions and private life of the candidate
are to be exposed to public gaze, the-Whigs will
not fear any comparison, and will be found as
ready to defend from reproach their gallant
leader, as they are to advance his claims for
the high station to which they have nominated
him. Let then those who would commence
such a warfare remember well the old adage,
they who live in glass houses should not throw
stones I"
Your correspondent has made the remarks
above, Messrs. Editors, on account of a refer
ence, which he has seen in the Federal Union
a transaction between the Bank of St. Marys
and General Clinch. What that transaction
has to do with the public, and how far they are
justifiable, who bave introduced the particulars
of a suit at law between (be parlies referred to,
will be noticed in the future. In the meantime,
let them "haveropebut ere the canvass is over,
you will bear their chief exclaim, "if that's the
way you back your friends, a plague upon such

As to the 3rd point—the manner In which to
attain these objects, we cannot better present it
than by calling attention to the communication
signed C.—which we copy below firom the
Macon Journal (f* Messenger. This has refer
ence to a contract to be made with one Com
pany—the Washington and New Orleans Tele
graph Company. But all the telegraph com
panies can doubtless be induced to make a com
mon arrangement, so that it may apply io the
whole extent of the telegraphic lines. The exact
terms and conditions of the arrangement can
be made known by these companies to the edi
torial convention, ora committee of conference
appointed by it, and the propositions can be then
and there agreed to and definitely acted upon.—
We suggest that the Telegraph Companies un

the purpose agents and reporters responsible

thus be a direct privily of contract between each

Letter Rom General Taylor*
The Lpuisiana Floridian oT 7th Aug.contains
the following very remarkable letter from Gen
Taylor. It is addressed to Dr. Delony.of Clinton,
in this State, who is one of the most radical, de
termined out-and-out Democrats in Louisiana ” Hole Tigent for Savannoh,
or‘in the South. The General replies to the .. ^A. A. SOLOMONS, Ag’t.,
The Magnetic Telegraph—Editorial Con
vention.—The following account of the proceed
ings of the preliminary meeting of Editors at
the Stone Mountain, we extract from the Au
gusta Constitutionalist, the Editor of which pa
per was requested to embody them in an edi
torial :
The suggestion that a Convention of the Edi
tors in Georgia interested io ibe Magnetic
Telegraph, should take place at the Stone
Mountain on ihe 11th Inst., had the effect of
bringing together several of the editors of the
Savannah, Macon and Augosta papers. Mr.
Chester, Agent of the Washington City and
New Orleans Telegraph line, was also present.
This was intended to be a meeting merely for
consultation, and preliminary to a more general
meeting at some future day, of editors and
proprietors or papers along the entire lines of
Telegraphic communication from Boston to
New Orleans.
The Convention therefore confined itself to
the discussion of the following questions:
1st. Was such a general Convention deslra
hie and feasible ?
2nd. What were the objects to be attained
by It?
3rd. In what manner conld they be attained?
4th. When and where should this Conven
tion assemble ?
Views were freely interchanged on all these
points, and there was no diversity of opinion
on the general questions. Details were left for
future consideration. But the advantages to
result from a general Convention were too
manifest to provoke much discussion. It was
at once agreed that our contemporaries of the
press be invited to come together to make a
combined and harmonious arrangement, by
which wonld be secured to each press em
braced In the arrangement, at the same time, the
tame information, commercial and political,
along the whole line or lines of Telegraph.—
This can be accomplished at an expense to
each, under an arrangement made in unison,
so moderate as to place it within the reach of
papers in the smallest cities. It will thus be
a desideratum to them. It will also, by the
same means, immensely reduce the heavy ex
penditure to which the presses in onr large cit
ies are subjected by tbelr present plan of obtain
ing separately their telegraphic news. To ac
complish this, a number of presses most com
bine. This will lessen the amount to each
while the aggregate will afford a compensation
sufficient to remunerate the telegraphic compa
nies, and make the arrangement an inducement
to them.
The arrangement contemplates the famish

open to the competition of themostenlerprislng,
and whose readers msy require them—as may
direct interrogatories of the Doctor in regard to
his opinions on the leading topics involved in
the contests of the two great political yartles, by
declining, very properly, to give an opinion
upon the justice of a war which he is himself
conducting.
We have been permitted by Dr. Delony, to
whom it was addressed, to give publicity to the
following letter from Gen. Taylor. It may be
>roper to sav that it was not his intention to
iave it published, but from the great int^est
which seems to engross the public mind and the
variety of conflicting views as to Gen. Tay
lor’s opinions and Intentions in connection with
the question of the Presidency, nnd ns there Is no
impropriety in so doing, it was concluded to lay
it before the public.
Camf near Monterey, Mexico, June 9.
Dear Sir—Your letter of the l&ib all., from
Clinton, La., has just reached me, in which yon
are pleased to say, "the signs of the limes in
relation to the next Presidency, nnd the promi
nent position of yonr name in connection with
it, is a sufficient excuse for this letter.” That
"it Is a happy feature in our government that
official functionaries tinder It, from the lowest
to the highest station, are not beyond the reach
and partial supervision ofthe humblest citizen,
and that it Is a right Inherent In every freeman
to possess himself ofthe political principles nnd
opinions of those Into whose hands the admin
Istration of the Government may be placed,’
Ac., to all of which I fully coincide with* you
In opinion. Asking my views on several sub
jects. "First: As lo Ihe justice and Ihe necessity
of this war with Mexico on our part. Second*:
As to the necessity ofn National Bank, and the
lower of Congress for creating such an instl-
ntlon. Third : As to the effects of a high pro
tective tariff, and the right of Congress under the
constitution to create snch a system of re venae."
At regards Ihe first interrogatory, my duties and
the position I occupy, 1 do not consider it would
be proper in me to give any opinion in regard to
Uietamet as a citizen, and particularly as a sol
dier, it it sufficient for me to know that our coun
try is at war with a foreign nation, lo do all in my
power to bring it to a speedy and honorable termi
nation, by the most vigorous and energetic opera
tions, without inquiring about its justice, or oui <
thing, else connected wilh it, believing, as I do, i
is our loisest policy to be at peace with all the world,
as long as it can be done without endangering the
honor and interests of the country. As regards the
second and third inquiries, I am not prep red
to answer them; I could only do so after duly
investigating those subjects, which, l cannot
now do; my whole time being folly occupied in
attending to my proper official duties,? which
must not be neglected under any circumstances;
and I most say to you in substance what I have
said to others in regard to similar matters, that
1 am no politician.
Near forty years of my life have been passed
in the public service, lo the army, niostol which
in the field, the camp, on our western frontier,
or in the Indian country; and for nearly the
two last, in this or Texas, during which tltr.e,
I have not passed one night under the roof of a
house. As regards being a candidate for the
Presidency at the coming election, I have no
aspirations in that way, and regret the subject
has been agitated at this early day, and that it
had not been deferred until theclose of this war,
or until the end of the next session of Congress,
especially if 1 am to he mixed np with it,a* it
is possible it may lead to the Injury of the pub
lic service in this quarter, by my operations be-
Ing embarrassed, as well as to produce much
excitement in Ihe country growing oat of the
discussion of the niertis, Ac., of the different
aspirants for that high office, which might
have been very much allayed, If not prevent
ed, had the subject been deferred, as suggest
ed; besides very many changes may lake place
between now nnd. 1848, so mnen so, as to
make it[drsirablefor the interest of the country
that some other Individual than myself, belter
qualified for the situation,should be selected: and
could he be elected, I would not only acquiesce
In such an arrangement, but would rejoice that
the republic had one citizen, and no doubt there
are thousands,more deserving than I am,nnd bet
ter qualified to discharge the duties of said office.
If 1 have been named by others and considered
a candidate for the Presidency, ft has been by
no agency of mine in the matter; nnd if the
station and elect nie, I will feel hound to serve
them, and all the pledges and explanations, I
can enter into and make as regards this or that
policy, is, that I will do so honestly and faith-
fttlly lo the best of my abilities, strictly in com
pliance with the constitntlon. Should I ever
occupy the While House, It must be by the
spontaneous move of [he pequle, and bv no act
of mine. s» that I could go Into the office un-
trammelled, and be the chief magistrate of the
nation, and not of a party.
But should they, ihe people, change their
