Gen. Trollinger

GEN; TROLLINGER. The "Whig" papers have taken upon themselves to sneer and ridicule the appointment of Gen. Trollinger, as one of the Visiters to West Point. Why 1 Because Gen. Trollinger is a farmer, and according to the notions of- the British Whigery, he can know nothing about "studies and books." Gen. Trollinger, quotha ! What business has he to put his "huge paws" upon the "books" at West Point. Most shocking presumption ! A working man and a farmer to intrude himself where none but the "rich and well born" ought to' go ! The truth will pop out now and then, and when it does we see that the "whigs" conceive farmers fit for nothing but to labor ; while members of "illustrious families are qualified for higher stations." Very good doctrine for the gulls.
