The N. Y. Evening Post wonders that Gov. Giles' letter respecting Mr. Adams, which appeared in a late Richmond Enquirer, 'has not excited any portion of the public attention it ought to have done, and which we [Post] should have thought it could not be missed.'
If the editor of the Post will recollect that Gov. Giles has, of late, written so much and so foolishly—has fixed the seal of inconsistency so firmly to his conduct, and has so shamefully degraded his office, he need wonder no longer that any of his productions should not attract public attention.
