believed thar the public had been defraaded out
OF more than FIVE shuodrcd thoui;,nd dollars.
he fabrication was 20 coatr;ved, as 10 FIX this
!uipiciosI upon Mr.. AdapS, Mr. Pickerinr.
add Mt. Woicott. The mode in which the
Educators acted, was as follows. One Of the
clerks OF Mr. " oicott's office was deAauched
fromhis duty. He introduced INTO the ;resf,rv
Office, (or conveyed the treaGury books TO tonne
other place. five or fix oS the Pennfv!var;an
democrats, TO whom theie books were exp fed.
They took down AL the CHARGES tor money
which appeared on the books agsi It PICK
eriug, &c. amounting TO about 7oo,ooo dol
lars, more or leis. They paid no REGARD 20
credits, nor to the knowledge which everyone
OF them had, that much of he money was at
figncd to Mr. Pickering for the purpole Of
paying debt which the United States owed
IN Holland, though they knew that it would be
pertcStly improper to allow any credit upon
the books TO Mr.. Pickering, un;il the ray-
ments, and other purpoies f>r which the mo-
ney vas advanced, were fully exsrplihed
All this has since been done, Mr.. Pickering
itdndS acquitted; nay more, il appears chat he
negotiated the payments IN Holland witt, G,
price or rate or exchange more than 1900
dollars, which fun he voluntarily gave an ac-
count OF and surrendered to the public. Tt

the money was appropriated for porch 4fna
bills of exchange, he could at onc2 have H.
