Jennings knows this if we be not much mistaken and Mr. Stephenson and governor Edv ai ds of the adjoining territory, know it also. All th delay we can complain of, was in our opinion, produced by their meddling ignorance. Knowing maj. Whitlock as we do. both as an officer and I man not less distinguished for uniform correctness) patriotic firmness and eminent servic es, than he is for unblemished purity of private character, we must believe and do assert, that the men before mentioned injured their constituents by interfering with his duties. Govr. Edwards & Mr. Stephenson had two motives-o-one person il displeasure anoth private irterest. Persona displeasure w ts -ed by the sagacity of maj. Whitlock in detecting their intended fraud upon the government their private in ercst their enticing a paymaster who might apt s ? so well or know SO mil :h. Ti is Mr. Stephenson after must ;ring his own servant, and getting pay for turn as a private, demanded additional pay for l.: l as Ins servant'. This govr.

ly forgot in one respect- they admit an intention on the part of Xobie and Hendricks, which we do not believe actuated them the real intent of the letter written by them is clearly marked on tne face of it to impose on the government and to impose upon the people. They impose upon the one. in order that they may have an opportunity to impose upon the other. Their letter they knew to be unnecessary at tiie time it was writt n if they knew any tiling respecting

the matter. 1 ne answer sent to tiie ap

plication appears to cmbrac i istructions published twel

sro before thev were eiu.er known to

government or the p., ple. Yet thcV s me instructions they now transmit to have published with their tetter that the fol etful, or those who never saw the orders before, might think tl.cy were produced by their interference. Such men il a5D its to us will stop at nothing to i igratiate th imselves and m this course they have a worthy example set by Mr. Jem ings, who was there before them. The honhje. Waller Taylor, our other senatofj would disdain a resort to such imposition for any purpose and therefore his name dees not appear to the letter. Those things shall be discussed hereaf : we hope with some tffeet we wiil not promise an anaiises of all the facts and conduct which we have alluded to, as it would demand a research wl ich, though aware of its importance, we are not equally convinced of our abiiitv to orosccute in a satisfactory raan-
