can ind employment, the nation alone, in its
public capacity, refrains from entering into the
great market of talents, and waits to receive,
as voluntary offering, what it might always
command.
Irecollect to have seen letter from the late
Chief Justice Ellsworth to political friend, who
was about TO retire from public life, in which, dis
suading him from his resolution, he says, with
Spartan brevity, and with Spartan dignity too
I" Our country pays her servants but badly, yet
she is better worth serving than any country in
the world and as long as she gives us bread
and honour let us be content to remain in her
vice" *
Bread and honourl In the niggard spirit OF
false economy, we scarcely give them bread {; in
the base malevolence OF party caluinny and per-
sonal jealousy, how little ofhonor do they re.
ceive! With such apeople as We have, TO
every important object we are safe-difficulties
will always call forth talents 10 meet them. But
why must that which should be the medicine OF
our government, be looked to as It's ordinary nu.

Why should not all her public establishments be

expedition amounting, by all accounts, 10 at least
