<h3>"BUT AARON GOT HIS COMMISSION!"</h3>
<p>To animadversion on the President appointing to a post one who had
zealously opposed his reelection, he replied:</p>
<p>"Well, I allow that Judge E----, having been disappointed before, did
behave pretty 'ugly,' but that would not make him any less fit for the
place; and I think I have scriptural authority for appointing him. You
remember when the Lord was on Mount Sinai getting out a commission for
Aaron, said Aaron was at the foot of the mountain, making a false god
for the people to worship? Yet Aaron got his commission, you know."
