6067. OFFICE, Refusing.—
We find it of
advantage to the public to ask of those to
whom appointments are proposed, if they are
not accepted, to say nothing of the offer, at
least for a convenient time. The refusal
cheapens the estimation of the public appointments,
and renders them less acceptable to
those to whom they are secondarily proposed.—
To General John Armstrong.
