Mr. Editou :—’l hey last Federal V
vi m announces the apiminttucnt of John
G. t'oiiiiil, Esq. us Post Master at Mt!-
ledgevitle..- Mt. i'. is the senior ediior of
tne FcdcrrJ Unr n, and the advocate oi
the 1 I'OCfum.Mbia and Force Bill ; and
besides, a very inveteralgTrnrrpg w *Jm.
Federal Basis.—These facts, I presume,
vviii account for the appointment. Be this,
ho wevi r.as it may, in making tiiis appoint
ment. the President of the United Ftales
has certainly departed from a very saluta
ry rule, observed by his republican prede
cessors. viz : th t of never giving the ap
pointment of Post aster to the edi tot if a
newspaper —because, the facilities which
italf irds him to abuse his trust, arc very
strong inducements to tempt him to vio
late the high rc.qwsibilities of his office. It
was such a consideration, if I mistake not.
which many years ago, induced the re
moval of then Fust Muster in tiiis city ;
who, at the time alluded to. Conducted a
Fublip Journal iii tiiis place.—There is
another serious objection-to the appoint
ment of Al r. l’olhiil. The Federal Union,
of which he is the senioreditor, as already
stated, is the property of Dr. Fort. 01
Mi! idgnvilic, a gentleman who has pub
licly advocated tiie right of the Federal
Government to sum. a State!—Now, it
trust bo apparent to any man of common
or. rvoiio.i, that tho sentiments oi the ed
itor, in this ease, must be the sentiments
of the proprietor ; as it is a notorious fact,
thrt the proprietor, Dr. Fort, bought out
the Federal Union Printing Oilier, as a
political machine.— so, then, of Dt*. For.
and Mr i’olhiil, it may truly be said,“like
master,.like man”—and, at the ensuing e
lectioti for members to the Legislature
let the citizens of Richmond County, ri
me ber that Gen. Glascock is politically
the bosom friend and confidant of thos<
men ! Remember if, I say!
Under n!i these cvtcumstances, I canno
help thinking, that the interests ol thi
people of Georgia, have been injured ane
almsed, and the character of the State in
s lied arid disgraced, by the appo" tmen.
of such a rna as Mr. l‘o!hi!l. to tne very

Ihave inspected a number of cusps in which
Mr. John 11. W right lias operated on the Teeth
for their rations conditions and aflections, and I
take pleasure in stating, that all I have seen, ap
pear to he done in the most substantial, safe, anil
satisfactory manner. 1 have no reason to believe
that any of his operations have been attended by
ill consequences.

Mr. John If. Wright has operated on teeth in
my family, and among my acquaintances, in a
manner wholly satisfactory ; and 1 can therefore,'
without hesitation, recommend him to others,
particularly for the tender carefulness with wlnch'
he performs those parts, necessarily painful.
