The recorder, or, Lady's and gentleman's miscellany. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1801-1802, 1802-03-27

thing IKE the following TERMS: You
e know very wen thar Mr.. Adams pur
&C our of Office every pcrion whom he
G iufpe&ted as che friend of MIR. Jeffer-
&c fon. The wheel of popularity has
&c turned round, and we are going to
&c ierve you, as your party formerly
" fervedus although not the printer
es OF newspaper, you have been con-
q lidered as the dieeator Of its attacks
'T upon us, and YOU cannot fuppofe
'' that We fhall patconize cur enemies. % !,
A letter ike this, if roc diitinguiihed by
prudence, might at leaft have claimed
the merit of irmnefs and Gncerity.
The Warrington Ihselligenccr has an
article hgned fubfcriber, wherein Mr..
Hobby's letter is termed igi0ieat. An
nexed is an extract OF a letter from
Georgia, which gives an account of the
pott- matters interference with the pub-
location of the Augulta Herald. Upon
fome location, MIR. Hobby prevented
the infertion of piece indetence of Mr..
Jeferfoh. After this behaviour, he
certainly dida nuff have expecrcd his
diicharge. In fuch cafe, Mr.. Adams
would have ieen it back by the return Of
pef. And if Mr.. Granger had told Hob
by 70, there was nothing more to be iaid.
But when VIC fee the ihppgfe9 contents
of private and confidential correfpon-
dence objected as crime, when we fee
the whole band Of Of republican printers
arraigned in the lump we cannot help
reminding Mr.. Granger that he had
much berter let fuch matters alone; and
that if MIR. Jeferlon could have foreteen
fuch official pertneis, Mr.. Granger
would certainly have remained 6eIoso
Pairs.
When MIR. Jefer(on fucceeded, as
preiideht, we had been prepared to hear
mitch calunny ard atuiG againR him.
This was a thing 10 be expected from
either fide, in cafe OF the defeat of their
favorite champion. Such remark i'm
plies no particular cen!ure Of the federal
party. Bue there was one aecufation which
we had not expected so hear,and which
made prodigious noifc. This refers TO
Mr.. yeferion's difninion of certain
federal officers. Mr.. Adams had car
ried that matter as far as it would 90.
Hence, we did not conceive that ii cariie
within the compass of human effrontery
10 complain of luch CONDUCT in Mr..
Jeferfoh. We did not imagine that
the party would pretend to complains OF
being ferved, as the pirate is, with a
ftp Of their awa Gacs. 1&ffer all, MIR.
Jeferion has done very little in this
way; when compared with lis predecel-
for. We ihould leaf of all have ipf.
pe6ted that the difcharge of Mr.. Hob
erlhan1 was to furniG1 matter OF com
plant. On the contrary, it was regaf-
ded as very ferrous grievance that the
new prei1dens fudcred him to continue
IN Office for 70 many months as he did,
after his own promotion. This polt
mater general had conducted buiineis
nolt wretchedly. Il was demontrable
that either he 5odld not, or would not
perform his duty. SO ftandlng the cafe,
the public are till to learn for what rea-
ION he was NOT dfiehargcd iDttantly upon
che acceliion Of MIR. JeFcrlon. The
motives for TO much forbearance 5n the
Prefident'8 part are politely satisfactory;
bur they are as yet unknown. We are
iorry that the fuccehor of Mr.. fIabcr
fham has, in one irltance, made 70 pitt
fri an ouaet. A republican poa-malter
wilhnever gain much honor by difpara-
glng republican printers. Forgetfil6efs
Of Pait favours has always been regarded
as feature Of the deepeR deprsviry.
