To examine the-matter flill more critically: ^ppofe,
on the other hand, that a person had applied public mo
ney to his private uses ; that he was a Iharer in the profits
of the centrads and purchases which he had made for the
public; that he had gamed in the enemy's funds; and
that he had pursued other iniquitous methods to enrich
himfelf at the public expence; how would h# aft ? Would
he with to disclose all his tranfaftions, or would he endea
vour to keep them secret ? Would he bring his accounts
and papers with him to be examined, or would he leave
them behind to prevent it ?
Ifhall now leave the public to judge of the merit of Mr.
Deane's address, and of his motive for publishing it. I
£hall leave it also to the public to determine, whether that
Gentleman ought to be permitted to leave America, 'till
his accounts are brought hither and adjuftedt It is cer
tain, that near four millions of livres have been expended
by him, or under his direction; and that no fatishaory
account hath yet been rendered by him. At any rate,
Congress ought to do business, as becomes men of business.
Where accounts and vouchers ought to be produced, they
should be required and insisted upon : And when they are
withheld, or unfairly stated, proper measures should be
taken that the public be not injured.
