The President replied, lhal ho con
side-ted the right of everytnan lo hi
own opinions, honetly formed, and to
think for himself, a aacretl right and
therefore thought none the less of him
for having voted against him, and wa
ready to believe t h e office of Postmas'.ei
at Guyandol was in very safe hand.
13ut as Ihe office of President, as wel
as that of Postmaster, was created by
ihe people for they- own convenience,
and no1 for you and me, who may hap
pen lo fili iVim, we alone are responsi
ble to ihe people, under the Constitu
tion, for the faithful manner in whicl
we tlisclnrge our elu'ies.' The speech,
deliveied by the President, seemed to
strike the old Postmaster with grea
force 'Governor, give me your hind;
them's my sentiment"; and I believe in
my soul if I had only Been you live
minutes before the election, 1 should
have given you my vote.' This cam
ed a general laugh, in which the Piusi

satisfaction al finding tho President'stieh
a confounded clever man,' as ha termed
