 The report of the committee to whom was referred the petition of Col. Serier, passed both Houses last week. Ii not only exone- rates him from all blame, as Bond Commis- eioner. but even declares him deserving the thanks of the community, for the able and skillful manner in which he discharged his tlnies. The legislature, in this whifewash- ing process, omitted to mention the name ot the other commissioner, who was equally concerned. The repatatien of private lndl- vdual s too trivial thing, 10 call for the notice of enlightened legislators; but that of grave Senator must be jealously watched and protected from Ell assaults.

 Yes. tho Report oi the Committee does exonerate Col Sevier from all blame. as Bond Commissioner, and even declares him deserving the thanks of the community for the able and skillful manner in which he discharged his duties" and both Houses have adopted the Report, by Toe of 4 to g in the House, and h 10 Il in the Senate, being joint majority of q. And, in this, the Legislature have met the expectations and wishes of the people, and done justice to an honorable and faithful public servant 1.-the Gazette, as the organ of Col Seviefs enemies, bought and paid for as the vile vehicle of sander, finds any solace for it's disappointed malice or any advantage to it's beaten party by calling this act of the Legislature a whitewashing process, !" il is welcome to enjoy then-ay, and grow fat upon them, if it can. As to the sympathy it would pre-, tend to feel for "the other Commissioner it Is a waste of "eroekodile tcars." IL is well known 10 the public that the character of Gen. Williamson. the other Commissioner, was not otimpugned by the Committee of the last session of the Legislature nor has he petitioned for redress. Had he done so, he would have received 1t readily and as fully as Col Seyier, or any one else As it is, his name and transactions appear in the Report and Testimony, in their proper place, and obviously free from all cen sure. As the editor of the Gazette thinks the Le- gislature so good at swhittwashing," We would suggest the propriey of his presenting petition for his own relief.
