The New Hampshire Gazette

The vote in the House of Representatives on the motion of Mr. Stanberry to strike out of the appropriation bill the salary of Mr. RANSOM, shows the true character of the opposition Press. Only THREE members were base enough to vote in favor of the motion. But notwithstanding this acknowledgment of the contemptible meanness and baseness of this attempt to deprive Mr. Randolph of his salary, the opposition editors lauded the mover and debaters of the motion. The National Journal, a leading opposition paper, said—"Mr. Stanberry merits the thanks of the country for his motion made last evening, just before the adjournment, to strike out the $9,000 for the next year's salary for a Minister to Russia." What a commentary upon this sentence do we find in the THREE VOTES in support of this lauded motion! This vote alone gives the lie direct to the opposition accounts of Mr. Randolph's conduct,—Keene Museum.
