The letter 1oritcrs-A Washington letter writer nj
the Enquirer Eve thought that of gentry had quit
their labors describes the coalGon which he u,aIc 70
consist Of AIessrs. Adams, Clay and Webster The
irst he says the least efficient man of t.e reecn
gagged in writing newspaper essays, giving dinners Sc
The public business he says utterly neglected ex-
cept by tue CLERKS in the Departments. On the 9th
er hand, Mr. Hoffman of New York, political e,,eay
OF Mr. Adams, IN debate Friday, says of him.
Gle knew the President TO be of business. He
always IN the performance Of his duty every hour of
his life is devoted TO public business he has no time
ior annSements. lSee debate in House of Represen-
tayes on furnishing the wing of the Presidents
Iouse.)
Mr. Clay, the letter writer says, the master spirit
OF the three. lie has four hundred Presses at com.
mand." ('Our Army terribly in Flandersn)
This is three hundred and t,ccnfy, moro than he
was charged with commaniug before. The pres
sos that publish the laws amount we believe TO some
thing less than 30-which all that he commands
admitting them all TO have sold themselves for Slo0
per annum. Mr.. Clay (the writer says pays no al
tention TO business either.
Mr.. Webster is the manager. of the Iouse-he leads
II as he peases In the Debate on the Georgia con
troversy MIR. Webster soemny disclairncd this char
acter declaring that he acted in the House upon his
own sus sestions and his responsibility.
Never perhaps did any one as short composition
contain more than the letter have referred to-
tr5 who will swallow it all for gospel We again ask
the Enquirer, does lis need be supported by
such glazing and unblushing fabricai ons' Is it com.
patib!e with good morals, TO circulate what knows
be untrnc? Is it the province of a newspaper TO in
struct or to mslead We intrea it not 10 throw away
the reputation acquired by many years faborous and
hnnouraoe service in the cause of pnbc instruction
This would indeed resemble the madness of the .sbasc
Judean.n
We have already exposed the fable published in the
Enquirer, about the furniture in the east wing of the
Presidents House, and called upon its editors in vain
I" correct it, In our next we will publish the debate
on Friday in the House Of Representatives. This de
bate shows that the President did tc the appro-
pF'aton OF last year-and that the raoney Appropriated
was never rPelael-consequent!y that the room
(whose superb ana royal furniture was described so
Go"ingiy' by letter writer in the Enquirer) has
gel beei furnished. Tbess letter writers haze been
quizzng neigibors the whole win,er-thcy, un
susPectRg souls, glad to get hold of any thing

into their authenticity.
