there has been constant decrease OF

the whole amount of postage was IN
sufficient to pay the expences OF the de-

One OF the most successful means
by which Mr.. Jefferson and his friends
succeeded to the administration ofthe
government of the United States, was
the charge against the administration
of WAsHISsToN and adams, of the
want of economy in the expenditure of
public money. This was constant
theme of defamation and reproach.
1t this charge was we'll founded, it
was their duty, when they took the
reinS OF Government, to have " correc-
ted the procedure !" to have reduced
the expences, and to have relieved the
burdens OF the people. Not to have
exceeded their predecessors in expence
could not have been considered dis
charge oftheir duty /; they should have
diminished the streams which issued
from the public treasury-ihey should
have narrowed the boundary of the pub
lie expenditure. Have they done this 2
