A Refutation of the Charges against the present

APPOINTMENTS TO OFFICE.
On the fubjed of APPOINTMENTS to of
fice it is underlined that the ealten Bates ar^
peculiarly vigilant. They ate told tiia<
they ought to view with jealousy and dit
iruß every attempt to deprive them of then
full (hare in the great offices of the flares,
who may canßitutionally be feleCted, with
out local consideration by the chief magis
trate, from an, part of the union. Though
it is our firm conviction that the firlt ot
fices of trie government ought to be filled
with men of the firft talents without re
gard to the dates they may live in, we will
not, in theprefent case, condemn the vigi
lence ascribed to our eaflero friends. In
asmuch as many of their citizens polled
ratles, competent to the highest officers, and
inafmneh as they fed aft tqual zeal for the
welfare of their country with those who
inhabit the southern 0 the middle Bates, it
will be allowed that they polles a moral
right to a participation of officers in proportion
to &' r numbers.§
As numbers are the bases of representation
fixed by the conftitutloh, it is to be prefum
edthat no objection will be made to consi
dering that as the criterion.
If the Bates be divided into the three clas
ses of eaften middle, and southern, we (hall
find the nnmber of each class to be as fol
lows, reckoning only three fifths of the
(laves :

By mathem^tierti crftoulatfon it v
found that the respective numbers of case
class. will bear the following relation to the
common number ten.
Eastern, 2-6^

Southern, 4-16
Three numbers present, in one fafl<
view, the, relative claims of each class
Bates to office. .. ;,
The important offices, other than loca ,
may be divided into four descriptions..
I. Those which are called cabinet offi
cers, confining of the four secretaries and
the attorney general;
2. Foreign ministers. , , , °
3. Officers in the different depart
ments.
4. Judges. .
Letthe above criterion be applied to each
of those defer! ptions :„ t

Compare these with the common Ban
daid ten, and they will bear the following
relation .
Eastern, 4
Middle, 2
Southern,4
It follows that the Pattern fates have
a great over proportion, than the Middle
Bales have less than their (bare in a Bill
greater proportion, and that the Southern
Bates have Jess than .their (bare by a small
fraction.
2, The Foreign ministers are,
Mr. Livingßon, of Newynrk,
Mr. King, Maffachufetfs,
Mr, Pinckney, South- Carolina. . &
With, the fttandard ten, these will bear
the following relation—
Eaßerd, 3 —33
Middle, 3 —33
Southern, 3 —33 „ „ c ,
It follows,that the ealtern datesh^^ m —^
than their proportion, an<T rf,e middle Bateg
and touthern dates less. Mr, King is con
sidered as an eastern man ; though immedi
ately before bis departure to Europe, he was
a citizen of New-York. It will, however,
be recollected that his early political career
commencedin New-England, that he repre
sented Massachusetts in the federal conven
tion, and that his politics aie decidedly those
of the eastern Bates.
