MEssRs Ep1ToRs | have visited pretty gene
rally the public offices from one end of the city
to the other; and i, seems that foreigner of U.
S. Bank memory, IAN Irishman,) has been en-
gagged, for years back, to make blank books for
Years 10 come: and a citizen, who claims to be
an American. by birth and education, has no
chance whatever, through the Government, to
afford any support to his family while this Irish
man is purchasing the best property in the city,
and living like nabob.


Now, sirs, this person is endeavoring to poison
ments against the work Of the natives, by telling
them that Ike is the best workman in the city,
(''iIeaven save the mark!'') when he does not
absolutely know the terms made use of in the
business, and is compelled, am informed, to rely
on man who is not capable of doing work to
justify any employer, who knows his business,
in giving him shop room at the trade.


Again: | have been informed, by clerks, that
they wished to continue their support to certain
persons who had formerly worked for them, and
were forbid to do so, on account OF the nstruc.
tons from President Jackson to their superiors;
and even this man himself has been known to
stalk into rooms, and demand 10 know Of them
what "books'' were wanted, and what kind they
used and, when he has met with refusal, has
threatened them with the "Presideni," with
whom he had '.just dined," &c. &c. Now, sirs,
this same man of Bank memory. is surfeiting
with the fat of the land, whilst your native work
men are driven from the crib to starve.


Yours, &C.,


TRurH AND JusTIcE.
