Washington in Eight years removed 9.
John Adams in Four years removed 10.
Thos. Jefferson in Eight years removed 46.
Jas. Madison in Eight years removed 5.
Jas. Monroe in Eight years removed 7.
J. Q. Adams in Four years removed 2.
ANDREW JACKSON in ONE year has removed 423!!
And yet these officers were removed because being Free Men they preferred another man to General Jackson for President!
239 were principal officers, and the residue were subordinate officers.
Lieutenant Randolph says that, 'in due time, proper notice will be taken of the Fourth Auditor's Report.'
The Defender General for the Government deserves to be tried under the 'second section.' [Am. Gaz.
We want to see what the 'immaculites' say to the removal of Commodore Warrington - Speak out, Duff! [Ib.
A Jackson paper in Maine says, 'The Administration is in a blaze of glory!!'
Truly, such a blaze, that they will, ere long, be consumed, root and branch. [Alex. Gaz.
