Another piece of Federal Policy, which the
Federalias circulate very sfiiduouly. and which
appeared 10 'he laf Mercury, is, " That bill
has palied the Houie of Representatives TO aug
meat the falaries OF certsin officers OF the gov
ernncnf. And thar Notwithstanding the pro-
feilions Of economy, &c. the Republican, are
laying /" burdens er,eyous to be borne" Ine
following are the facts which the author Of this
| pledges himlef 10 be coued.--On the I'd day
Of March, 1900, a lsgs which Augmented the
falaries Of the Secretary Of State, aud thirteen
other officers. which had pfeviouly pshed III:
Senate and Houfe of Representatives was ap-
proved by John Adams. then Pseident of the
United States. This law was TO continue to be
in force for three years only, and expired few
weeks 6nce, when bill was agreed TO by the
refpeetabe majority OF 60 againa IL, for {" re-
wing and continuing 10 force faid law" Thus
the officers do not receive a Cent more than has
been allowed them for three years lsf paa 1T is
equally criminal 10 the Federal gentlemen 10
"fopprel. the truth" as to "fuggea falhood. !"
To have been innocent Of the former ,thcy ihould
have fatcd thar the law was paaed by the laR, &
revived by the prefent adminiitration--Thcre-
fore. that which was proper in rhc former. can
not be accounted improper in the latter. Feder-
al gentlemen, ye are all honorable, very honor
able men; nevertheless you arain at guat and
fsalow a camel. when viii Federaliiis learn
