81 Tt;snot long since we were obligedby our
EDITORIAL duty to draw the eye Of the public
/. ,,,on the conduct of Washington City pa
IN h;oh in the interests, and It is said
r,neb under the direction of the executive
government. Speaking of the salaries CIV
EN- to the present public officers, It thought
Droper to Justify them by assuming IN addI-
bn TO the authority of the present anti-fede-
Zfal party, that of the late federal admin
&tration. For the purpose OF justltylng a
measure which needed no justification, The
&apient essayist exposed me absurdity and
misconduct of his own party, who hereto
fore opposed and stigmatlzed as infamous
corruption that very measure. oathat oc-

fompel us again to lug them forth, and dis-
blay those vain efforts to deceive the peo-
pie into an unjust opinion OF their oppo-
