THE EXECUTORS, June 24. ddf

DECIUS.—No. X.
In tracing the chief points which might be urged in justification of the former administrations of our government, I have as much as possible avoided one very common method of repelling accusations—recrimination. I conceived it ill-suited to the plain line of defence, which in itself was most proper for the exposition of the charges adduced in the report of the committee of investigation, and therefore declined entering into it generally.—One other reason had weight with me: I am one of those who are still inclined to believe that vice, and fraud, and hypocrisy will not always flourish; that hollow pretensions to patriotism will yet be forced to yield to the sacred fire which animates and condenses the real love of country; and that the people learning at length wisdom from experience, will once more confide in Heaven, and the most virtuous of their countrymen. I did not decline entering into this field because the harvest would have been small. No. The labour of Hercules was great, for the stables of Augeus were tenanted uncleaned for thirty years. I should have had but half as many months; but, again I say the time is not yet come for such labour to be rewarded with its appropriate effect. Yet, when the hearts of the faithful shall once more exult in the bland rays of the sun of Federalism; when the dazzling of its earliest light shall drive the owls and other proteges of the waning moon into the dismal shades and sad obscurity of their native coverts, then it may be well to say to our countrymen, Behold here, these juggling fiends, who have so long deceived you, in their true colours; these are thy Gods O Israel, and in these have you put your trust. But, God forbid, that they should ever be judged as they have judged others, or that the same measure which they have meted unto others, should be meted unto them.
It is at the present day an incontestible maxim of Justice, that not only the truth and nothing but the truth, but also that the whole truth should be told. How have the committee acted up to this maxim? I think that it is indubitable that at least nine tenths of the persons who may see the report will never have an opportunity of seeing the accompanying documents, and very probably not one in an hundred will take the trouble of wading through the immense mass, and discovering the truth for himself. This, being well known to the committee, should have impressed upon their minds a deep sense of an obligation to particularize very fully in their general statement. It would not have required a dozen lines more to do this quite satisfactorily. It was more especially incumbent upon them so to do, when they knew also that no defence, no justifying statement of the persons accused was to be presented with the report. Nevertheless, it was not done. The full amount of the debit side of the account, even to a cent, was stated in the report: the "considerable portions" of the credit side we loosely mentioned, and the precise sum merged in the ocean of accompanying documents. [I allude particularly to Mr. Pickering's account, the document C. and the immense unsettled balances in the War and Navy Department.] Was this fair; was it honest; was it honourable? Let me ask any upright, candid man, what would be his opinion of such conduct in private transactions? and if he answer, that it is to be abhorred—Are private individuals to be judged by one rule, and public officers by another?
Let it not be said that the high and responsible situation of these men ought to shield them from a suspicion of wilful omission in these particulars. It is most likely that their audacity was increased and confirmed by this consideration, but it never can exculpate them; it ought to make their condemnation more sure.—They knew that on their mysteries and obscurities an immense pile of crimination could and would be erected by the Duane and Cheethams, &c. &c. of the country. If I know one point on which I could more than any other confide in myself, it is that I would not become the willing apologist of crime, or justifier of criminals, but, believing in sincerity and truth, that the members of the last administrations have been most cruelly used and most wantonly maligned, I cannot help asking, who can justify, and how can any man justify the conduct of these committee-men in thus sharpening the teeth of foreign bloodhounds to lacerate the fair characters of our own
countrymen, of men who in the hour of danger have at least "done the state some service"? The "infuriated" slave of faction may for a moment rejoice in seeing vagabond Irishmen and Englishmen glutting their rage in this manner, but he who feels that he has a country, who wishes to see the proud edifice of its fame built on the foundations of truth, honor, and justice; such an one must confess that this is paying too dear even for a triumph over an enemy.
But he will confess it more freely when he finds that this triumph, if not quite ideal, must soon be changed into mourning. The people are not immutable; falsehood will not always flourish. The tide of popularity has its ebb and its flood; in advancing it dashes its spray on a royal Canute, and carries off into everlasting night the filth of jacobinism in its retreat. It is a fickle deity, and full oft takes a fancy to have one of its priests for a sacrifice. Therefore, trust it not, Gentlemen. Truth alone knows no change, and finally will prevail.
I had a striking proof but a few days since, of the use that is made by the curs of faction of the one-sided stories in the report. In a paper printed in this state, and not twenty miles from the city, amidst a mass of Aurora lies, it is stated, that the sum which the committee say was paid in consequence of the award against Mr. M c Henry, formerly secretary of war, for not occupying a house which he had leased at the new seat of government, having in the interval resigned his office conformably to the desire of the President; that this sum "was paid in consequence of some fraud on the part of that officer."—This was copied from another paper, and doubtless the greater part of the "True Republican" papers in the country will re-echo this infamous falsehood. Thus is the cause of Republicanism supported; and thus are the characters of honorable men to be destroyed. Is it not too shameful?
I wish it not to be understood, however the expression may seem to demand the inference, that I in the least doubt the actual payment of the two hundred dollars above referred to. I leave that modest way of insinuation clear for the right hon. members of the committee of investigation. They alone have the right by a malicious "said to have been" to attempt to raise a suspicion where they durst not speak out. I use the expression merely to justify my transition that I feel heartily sorry if in any of the numbers of that slight examination, I have been so unfortunate as to speak of the majority of the committee in any terms, which, by the most ingenious casuistry, could possibly be construed to bear an appearance of the writer's entertaining the very least sentiment of respect for them. In heart, in word, and indeed I would always pray Heaven to "send me the erect, the avowed, the manly foe." It is grievous to be attacked by any other. It is worse than the pains of death to be smitten by the hand which trembles whilst it gives the blow.
The manner in which the committee passed over every left-handed transaction of the men who were known to belong to the sect now in power, cannot be dwelt on too much. Was not Mr. Randolph's delinquency, going even upon the present wretched system of calculating misdemeanors according to dollars and cents, was not the notice of Mr. Randolph's delinquency deserving of a little more minuteness? Why are we not told whether the 60,000 for which a "suit has been instituted against him," were drawn by him from the treasury for public services, in consequence of appropriation made according to the constitution, and by himself, appropriated to private purposes? Could not the committee fully ascertain whether or not this balance was applied to public objects ? Whether that "true republican;" had been guilty of irregularity or fraud? Surely they could; but every additional word would have detained the reader of the report so much longer in the detail of the crimes of the "true republican;" and however long a time the philosophers of the committee might have lounged in the Academy of the Stoics, they had not yet entirely feared the powers of sympathy.
This delinquency of Mr. Randolph, is the only one committed by any of the sect that the committee have seen fit to notice; I shall therefore refrain at present from touching upon the numerous others of that sect who were trusted by General Washington and Mr. Adams. My reasons are recorded in the first paragraph of
this paper. But if I have not much deceived myself, they will not always restrain me.
I once more beseech my fellow citizens to examine for themselves. I feel that I have not the inclination, and I know that I have not the power to make the worse appear the better reason. Every line that I have written has been dictated by the sentiment of gratitude which as an American I owe in common with my countrymen to the worthiest of her sons. My intention must supply the want of ability. Let crime be punished. May neither rank nor services shield the offender from condign punishment; but, let not the frantic rage of party, the boisterous ebullition of joy in the hour of factions triumph, condemn any man unheard. The veriest wretch that ever breathed is entitled to thus much justice; let it not be refused to men whom we once delighted to honor. DECIUS.
NEW-HAMPSHIRE LEGISLATURE. SATURDAY, June 5.
His Excellency the Governor having assigned this forenoon, at 10 o'clock to address the Legislature, Messrs. Leavitt, Brooks, Pierce, Hutchinson Willard, Everett, Hunt, Lord Connor and Chase were appointed a committee, to be joined from the Senate, to wait on his excellency the Governor, elect, and escort him to the Representatives' Chamber.—At 10 o'clock, the Senate and House being met in the Representatives' Chamber, his Excellency came in attended by his Council, and escorted by the committee; after manifesting his acceptance of the office of chief Magistrate, & having taken and subscribed the necessary oaths he addressed the Legislature in the following,
SPEECH. Mr. President, & Gentlemen of the Senate, Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives.
DEPUTED by our fellow-citizens, & assembled at the time affixed by the Constitution, for the purpose of transacting such business as the public good may require, it must be a pleasing circumstance to contemplate the general prosperity which is so apparent throughout the State.
Although our own internal affairs are the principal object for which we are assembled; yet being intimately connected with other States by our Federal Union, and having interests which may in some measure be affected by the conduct of other nations, it may perhaps be useful to consider their circumstances in some respect.
Under these impressions, permit me to congratulate you on the late general Peace in Europe. Whatever partial effects it may have on the interests of some of our citizens, yet it must be highly pleasing to the benevolent mind, that a stop is put, at least for the present, to the calamities of war which have so long raged amongst several of the European powers.—And as it respects our own country, have we not reason to rejoice, that our neutrality has been so far maintained, as to prevent our becoming a party in the contest, notwithstanding the threatening appearances at sundry times?
In another view, it may be useful to contemplate the late war in the European world.—What are the real advantages gained thereby? Perhaps some one of the nations may be aggrandized, others depressed—But may we not ask, whether it is probable that the cause of genuine liberty will be advanced, and the happiness of mankind promoted, by these extraordinary changes?—whatever effects the arts and intrigues of any of the powers lately at war, may have had in our country, or from whatever other causes it has arisen it is a lamentable fact, that we have been much divided in opinion respecting the political affairs of our common country. If we could improve the present time, when a general pacification has taken place among European nations, in such a manner as should tend to restore union, and harmony of sentiment and conduct respecting our own affairs, it would be making a happy use of it.
The constitution of our present free systems of Governments, must greatly depend upon the opinions, habits, morals and religion of the great body of the people, how important is it, then, that they should have correct information respecting the conduct of men whom they invest with authority & respecting the measures of their Government?—Whoever attempts to misrepresent or deceive in this respect, whether through the now much abused "liberty of the press" otherwise should be
considered an enemy to the liberties of the country.—Whatever difference in opinion may be entertained respecting other measures & privileges, this should not prevent united endeavours, as Legislators & Magistrates, to do whatever may be in our power, both by precept and example, for the suppression of licentiousness and immorality, and for the promotion of useful knowledge, virtue and religion.
As all systems of Political Government have defects, it is wise to examine those to which ours are most exposed.—Instability, respecting the measures to be pursued, is an evil to which we are much exposed, we ought to be extremely cautious in this respect. Our National Government is at present extended over a large territory, and our population is rapidly increasing; can it then be wise, is it safe that the energies of our government should be lessened?
As similar causes produce similar effects, may it not be useful for the citizens of our country seriously to consider the causes which have ruined those Republics which have gone before us? And is it not this more especially the duty of those who are invested with authority, that they may be particularly guarded against these evils?
A strong attachment to our present free systems of State and National Governments, and to the welfare of my fellow-citizens, has induced me often to make known my political sentiments; and recent transactions of our national Government, have had a strong tendency to confirm me in opinions which I have heretofore expressed.
A letter from his Excellency the Governor of North-Carolina, with certain resolutions of their Legislature, proposing alterations in the Constitution of the United States, as it respects the manner of choosing Electors of President and Vice-President, and Representatives to Congress, will be laid before you, and will undoubtedly have all the consideration which the importance of the subject requires.
Permit me to recommend to your attention the inspection laws of the State, and particularly as they respect the articles of Beef and Pork for exportation. It appears to me highly probable, that the interest both of the farmer and exporter may be promoted by amending the present laws on this subject.
By an act regulating weights and measures, passed December 12th, 1797, the operation of which was postponed from time to time, but became of force in December last, a sealer was to be appointed in each county, and to procure standards at the expence of the state; but there has not been any money appropriated for the purpose.
Whatever laws and regulations you may think proper to pass, will, so far as may depend on me, be duly attended to.
It will be a pleasing duty to me, to unite with you, in measures calculated for the preservation of the peace, liberty and safety of our fellow citizens, and for promoting their lasting happiness.
JOHN TAYLOR GILMAN. State of New-Hampshire, June 5, 1802.
Answer of the House.
[The committee, consisting of Messrs. Blasdell, Hunt, and Hutchinson, appointed to draft an answer to the Governor's speech, reported the following:]
WE, the representatives of New-Hampshire, impressed with a due sense of the importance of the office to which you are again called, beg leave to congratulate you on the event, so grateful to our feelings; and permit us to add, that we consider it as the surest proof of the general information, good sense and patriotism of the citizens of the state.
The prosperity of our citizens, affords a flattering prospect of the advantages resulting from a free Government faithfully administered.
Our internal affairs unquestionably demand our first attention; and we are happy in the believing, that few, if any, alterations in the existing laws will be judged necessary.
We have sincerely lamented the distressed situation of the fairest part of the European world; it is therefore with particular satisfaction that we are informed of a universal peace.
In taking a retrospective view of the late important transactions of other people and governments, with the consequences resulting therefrom, we entertain a grate-

full sense of the wisdom of those elected to fill the highest offices of the state and united governments, in avoiding those evils which at some periods appeared inevitable. We have witnessed the restless disposition of men—the zeal and intemperance with which they have labored to effect changes—that, in accomplishing their several favorite schemes, crimes, the most revolting to human nature, have been sanctioned by those who, uninfluenced by party spirit, have been the friends and lovers of good order and justice. Recent events will prove the danger of innovation upon established systems; and that it is not unfrequent to find, after a whole people sighing to regain the station which they had so inconsiderately abandoned.
As the difference of sentiment, which has lately prevailed in our country, arose from the hostile state of nations now at peace; we fondly hope, that we, who had the prudence to prevent our rashly involving ourselves in their disputes, may now suffer the effects to die with the cause.
Believing as we do, that useful knowledge, virtue, and religion, form the basis of our Government, we feel it peculiarly incumbent on us to cherish every mean that can promote these important objects.
Though we consider the natural increase of our population as the most favourable of events, we feel a pleasure in considering, that the thirst of power has never induced the United States to aim at territorial conquest.
We shall estimate it our duty carefully to attend to those particular objects pointed out in your communications; and shall cheerfully unite with your Excellency, in adopting those measures calculated to promote the welfare of our Fellow-Citizens.

REDUCTION OF EXECUTIVE POWERS AND PRIVILEGES EXEMPLIFIED.
The following is quoted from a publication which originally appeared in the National Intelligencer, and which by particular request from Washington has lately been circulated through all the anti-federalist prints in the union. It is entitled "A view of the proceedings of the last session of Congress," and is addressed "To the People of the United States." We know pretty well the authors, but of that more hereafter, when we shall take up the view itself for examination.
"Among the nations of the earth it was reserved for America to exhibit to the world a government devoted to the interests of the people"—at the head of
which presides a man, who for the promotion of the public good and the preservation of civil liberty, solicits the limitation of his own powers, the reduction of his own privileges ," &c.
Now is not every reader disposed to express his surprise as well as gratitude, at this instance of humility and philanthropy in our executive? He is not only willing we see, that his power should be limited by constitutional boundaries, but kind soul! in the fulness of his affectionate heart, he even " solicits the limitation of his powers by the legislature ."—Like the poor maniac in the early stages of the hydrophobia he cries out, for God's sake gentlemen, take care of me, confine me, I entreat you least I do you harm!
To be sure, certain squeamish people, who call themselves friends to the Constitution, may affect to express some doubts of the propriety and correctness of the sentiment— that the Executive should solicit the limitation of its power by the Legislature . They may affect to believe that it is the Constitution only which defines and which only can limit the powers of the different branches of the Government.—However, without wasting time on such trifles, let us now see how the friends of our humble Executive, in compliance with this request, have limited his powers, in fact.
In the " Act for establishing the temporary and permanent seat of the government of the United States ," passed in 1790; among others things, the President was authorised to appoint three commissioners, to locate and superintend the District. Accordingly, President Washington appointed three gentlemen of the first respectability, but federalists.—Among other objects on which envy and malignity has scowled since the commencement of the present reign of new principles, these Commissioners presented. A clever contrivance soon suggested itself, which was, that under colour of extending the list of savings , this Board of Commissioners might be abolished, and the whole business vested in the care of a single superintendant. No sooner said than done— Presto—pafs—and be gone! an act instantly appears, destroying the old Commissioners, and empowering the President to employ a single one, of his own choice. The following extract of a letter, received this morning, the correctness of which may be relied on, will show us in what manner this firm and virtuous magistrate exercises his powers and privileges:—
TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING POST.
SIR, By an act of Congress passed the last session, the duties of the Commissioners for the City of Washington were made to devolve upon a superintendant , to be appointed by the President, and compensated at his discretion.
"This office has been conferred upon a Mr. Munro, who before had served the commissioners as their clerk , and for a salary of 900 dollars per annum. Mr. Jefferson proposed to fix his salary as superintendant at 600 dollars per annum or thereabouts; Mr. Munro did not incline to take it. Mr. Jefferson sent for him and requested as a particular favor that he would accept the office, and at that low salary ; assigning as a reason for it, that there were several respectable gentlemen who had pretensions to it; and he had no way to avoid the opprobrium of discriminating between them, but by making the salary so low, that neither of them would accept it . And he further assured Mr. Munro, that it should be made up to him some other way ; upon this last assurance Mr. Munro consented to accept the office.
"It would be no ways surprising if this should be inserted in Mr. Jefferson's list of savings , but before we give credit for it, it will be well for us to know the cost of this making up the deficiency of salary.
"The foregoing statement is made from memory, it is believed to be correct, and the Citizen, Aurora, or any other ministerial print, is requested to shew wherein it is not so.—And perhaps they can shew also, the advantages of this under-hand dealing , and the honest purposes to be answered by it; which would be the more satisfactory as they are not to be discovered in the reasons assigned by Mr. Jefferson himself."
Surely every reasonable man will be now be ready to allow that Mr. Jefferson never made a more natural request at least, than when he solicited the limitation of his powers. A cowardly heart, which, unable to meet its duty, seeks to escape from its situation under the shelter of little, un-
manly, not to say dishonorable artifice, certainly ought never to be exposed to such a trial. Must he not have felt humbled in his own esteem when he descended so low as to ask Mr. Munro to give up his situation and salary as clerk, and accept in lieu of it the important and responsible office of Superintendent at a loss of three hundred dollars per annum? And how much was he to be pitied when after hearing Mr. Munro's refusal, he could bring himself to confess that the reason for putting the place at this small nominal salary, was to save himself from the hazard of displeasing certain applicants too respectable to be refused? "It should be made up to him!"—in the very terms in which he coaxes her boy to give up a play thing to his little brother who cries for it. It should be made up to him! How! As the printing-business was enhanced to Duane last session, I suppose, when the privilege of providing stationery for Congress was thrown into the bargain, by which this foreign renegado actually got more money than any navy agents on this side of the Potomac for superintending a United States' navy yard a whole year.
Doubtless we shall, bye and bye, see a second statement of savings from some other Theodorus Bailey, in which the difference between the salaries of the Commissioners under the old administration and this single superintendant will make an item of some thousand dollars; but this making up , I fancy, will hardly find a place in the account. Ah! if we could but get at a few of these making's up , just to place on the debit side of the ledger, what a wide difference in the result of SAVING, more or less, would be presented!
DIMINUTION OF EXECUTIVE PATRONAGE.
This morning's mail has brought us the batch of new Bankrupt Commissioners. It is another practical instance of the sincerity of Mr. Jefferson's desire that "his powers should be limited and reduced." A clause in a former law is repealed for no reason under heaven but to vest in the President the exclusive nomination of the officers, and we now challenge any defender of the President to shew a color of reason for this, other than what we have assigned. Yet this is the man who is eternally canting and whining about executive influence. Take it away, he exclaims, take it away—and his ministers say it is taken away, while every law is repealed and all existing offices abolished to get at the officers and sacrifice them to make room for the friends and supporters of his Excellency, plain Thomas Jefferson.—Could any thing be wanting to excite the indignation of every virtuous American, it would be the manner in which the offices are bestowed. Among the names of the favorites of to-day, we find those of John Broome and Thomas Edgar. The former is appointed, we presume as a reward to quiet his "perturbed spirit, since the loss of his election. We have nothing to say against Mr. Brome. He is well known in this city: particularly for his " undoubted talents ." †As to his talents they are undoubted, says the Citizen—"If any one doubt this, let him call on the Colonel, who will, we dare to say, remove his doubts."
For the other gentleman, Mr. Edgar, the appointment can never be sufficiently admired. The case necessarily suggests one of the rules which our virtuous and patriotic President assured the New-England merchants should govern him in his removals from office; he there declared that his vengeance should fall, among other things, as much as possible on " anti-revolutionary adherence to our enemies ."—Some doubts were expressed by the critics when this first appeared what description of persons were anti-revolutionary adherents ; the sticklers for the President said it was very clear that nobody could be meant but those persons who during the last war, were called tories, & on the whole the understanding of the public settled on this; but when they saw an old continental officer turned out of office and Mr. Daniel Ludlow, whose toryism was as notorious as his name, and who was within the British lines of his own accord from '75 to '83, appointed to succeed him; when they saw the appointment of William Stevens to the office of District Judge for the District of Georgia, a man who deserted to the British army during the revolutionary war and whose name stands recorded in the act of confiscation and banishment; when they saw these prominent and many subordinate appointments of the
* Rest, rest, perturbed spirit.—Hamlet.
† Vide Citizen of April 28th.
same complexion, they wete not a little staggered at the procedure; and when now they see appointed to office, a person whose anti-revolutionary adherence is believed to present even a more exceptional case than either of the others, what will they think? It has been long said and published of Mr. Edgar, and we believe it yet remains uncontradicted, that he was not only in the enemies lines, but advanced his fortune by selling ammunition to the hostile Indians, then at open war with the Americans. And as Mr. Jefferson tells us in his celebrated answer, above referred to, that in his removals and appointments, he makes it a point to take time, seek information and obtain it , we are left to believe that the above circumstances were not unknown to him.
In the case here presented, no remarks will be added.—It is too powerful an appeal to the feelings to hazard the indignant expressions it irresistibly suggests. Every man is left to find vent for his own sentiments on the occasion. For ourselves we confess we have no language strong enough to do justice to our feelings.
