PERSECUTION Ely THE FzDERAL1srs.

The Council Of appointment in N York
shows us, to what lengths the Federal;sts
would go, it they had but the power in
their own hands The nature Of this coun.
cll,5 The acts which they have performed.
and the futility of the pretexts which they
nave used for their justitication---are clearly
stated IN the two following pieces, which we
recommend to our readers.
The Federalists have tried to screen them.
selves behind the example of Mr.. Jefferson.
Ihey say now, that he began the system Of
prescription, and that surely, we ought not
TO complain of il, if they follow it up--qaieu
fHfy can. This assertion comes too, in no
. questionable shape" but in the Report of
the Legislature of Massachusetts i'm 1909.
ana other public Documents. We shall saw
nothing OF the tenacrness, with which Mr..
j. uSeu ms powcr--nor of the lberaity
which Virginia, 7" that arch iacobin domi
nion," has shown in her state appointments.
But we shall say one word only as Is the O.
rIgin OF this practice---We shall not cite the
particular cases Of Gardner and others, who
were turned out of Office, nnder the Adams
administration--but we shall quote the SEN
tIments OF the leading feds in Congress, in
the year 90, proving that at that day they
boldly avowed the doctrine Of prescription.
The following are extracts from the De-
bate on the 18th and 18th January, 1898, on
TIE Foreign Intercourse Bill
What says Mr.. StisreaUes p" Where
was the crime, the offence. or impropriety,
OF the conduct ascribed to the Executive. If
It had been adopted Would Gentlemen
say, that the Executive ought to appoint
persons to Offices who protested an opinion
Contrary to its owns Did gentlemen sup
pose there was want of integrity IN this
department Of government that it adopted
political opinion, which it did no; believe
to be right (; and # il were believed to act
from principle, would it be prudent, or right,
to admit TO participation in the execution
OF the inportan: duties OF Government, per

wished to put on record, that he had done
all he could to prevent the public money

satisfactory experiments, merely to afford
amusement to those who were to witness

Mr.. Gholson said he had no objection to
the amendment, tor he thought it included
no more than the Secretary of the Navy

4 ne proceedings OF the present coancil
OF appointment are so Scandalous, that no
Neceht man can be found TO Justify them
they give the lie to ali the past professions
OF the federal party, which was, that no
man should be removed from Office, unless
tcderalist has been turned out TO make
way Tor him. Amongst many others who
nave been dismissed for no other cause than
their. attachment TO republican principles,
we hna alderman Montagnie, gentleman
OK the fairest reputation, and one who has
held the Office of police magistrate since it's
hrst establishment, with the greatest honor.
70 himself and usefulness to the public
NO man was removed to make way for him,
ana what renders the act of the council the
more infamous is, that the la:e Alderman
DeeKHan' fsdsraiist, and associated in the
police department with Alderman Mentag
mic, was never touched by the republican
party.
Mr.. Jonathan Lawrence the master war

den by gov Clinton soon after the peace
No one was ever turned out for him. He
held the appointment through Mr. Jays adj
ministratioR. He had been member of
the senate during our revolutionary war, &
no one thought of displacing such a man
TX was reserved Tor the present council to
do so memorable deed they could not
let him escape their fury though in the e.
veniOg of his life.
DR.. Rodgers was appointed IN 1905 after
the death Of DIR. Ledyar6. the health officer
at Staten Island. No situation is attended
with greater danger and no one ever served
With more fidelity than he has, Every pre-
decossor OF his has fallen victim to the

himself to that important though dangerous
