bf.partner, Mr.. JosePa s' 's
N =. property in the National inteiligen-
o : The Nsw-York Evening Post calls
- - Gales renegade. We think this 'ili-
{, MIR. Gales was brought to this coun-
child nothing of revolt or apostacy
!. : with any propriety be attributed to him.
~. Mercantile Advertiser, speaking OF

;.sn The Freeman's Journal takes fire,
~ .roaires how long this office has been
.,.,,sd, and from what finds the officer is
Id and is g startled in contemplating
he many thousand ways in which the beo-
.I's money can be layished SUD rosa; )" that
!, 70 say, gentle English reader, under the
Ease which means privately. Now how
an we doubt but that Mr.. Gales is paid by
N. Administrator for reporting the pro.
eygdines of Congress We know the Jour-
O,l's mode Of criticisiag. An Office often
siisuif-s public employment Mr.. Gales
isrmpoyed in taking speeches, which, in
pstura rerum, or, in the nature of things,
is. an employment he does this, coruns op-
timatss, that is, in presence of the great
folks of the nation; for the members of the
house are, c. o6scio, optimates, or the best
aud greatest men of the community ergo
the employment is public, hence it is a pub
lie employment; qusd erat demonstrandi4m.
And, as it is all done under the immediate
government of the United States, the house
being chosen immediately from the people,
aud the people being the government; it
follows that 1t is one of their Offices, or an
Office Under the government. And, whe-
ther Mr.. Gales is paid Immediately from
the treasury I; or the people pay him for his
paper containing the debates, it equally fol-
lows that the people lose their money. Can
the Journal seriously suppose that such an
Office exists, and that Gales is paid by the
government? The subject, years since,
was debated in the house, and many mem
bsrs were in favor of creating such an Of
fcsi but the majority, tor substantial rea-
sons, refused.
What ale Mr.. Gales's talents and educa-
zion, or with what servility or independ-
ence ne will conduct the Intelligencer, re-
mains yet to be unlolded. If he puts his
ites INTO the shoes of his predecessor, he
viii Conform to the wishes of the admins.
STATION in all things, maintain the dignity

grace meet the open scorn Of his political
opponents, and the ostensible appreciation
AUD secret contempt of his friends.
