found in the following extract of article taken
from the ast Patriot -
1.-THE late removal Of the printing Of the United
States laws s'by authority" from two among the
oldest republican newspapers IN the States OF
Maine and New Hampshire has produced but one
feeling among the republicans. 1t was indeed
small business, worthy OF its nominal author, Mr..
Secretary Clay, those who udvised, aud he who di-
recied him. The measure 10 OF importance no lar
her than indicates the temper and the disposition
Of the who are at the head OF affairs at y ASH
ngton; and for this object, it is Of as much value as
if it was a measure involving the expenditure and
patronage of millions. Singular as 1t may seem,
this little event @nly was wanting to enable thous-
auds Of republicans in New-Iiampshire to make up
their minds az TO the peculiar character OF MIR. Ad-
ans administration. Even the fedora lists-soms
who of late had become Jealous friends of the ud-
ministrat on--are ashamed OF the act.
We have received several letters from Washing
ton on the subject; and it is but just to say that the
act OF removal in this State against the express
sed wishes of the whole delegation of ew-Hamp-
hire, pih The ereepiion Of one man. Heretofore,
when removals Of this kim, had been contemplated,
Il has been usual to consult the representa- Yes of
| the people respecting it: but informed by
| several Of our members, that Mr.. Clay this year
| ave out, that he would make or change the ap,
| pointments without consulting the representatives
or senator's II Is very evident that Of the advisers
and secret cabinet council OF the President and Sc
cretary OF State, there three or four, or half
| dozen me mbers from the New England States, ~
mong and at the heal Of whom is an "mmortaI
man" from Massachusetts,; and that this cabinet
council, after advising the prescription of the two
republican papers in question, to shield the dele-
CATION OF New England from responsibility, advi-
| sed that the Secretary of State should take the
| business exclusively into his own hands, without
consulting the delegations from the respective
| States!
| After the appointments were made, some of the
| delegation from Maine called on Mr.. Clay, to in
| quire into his motives in removing the printing
from the Argus. which paper had taken no decided
ground against the administration. His answer
was, that he ,cas determined TO haze neuirals--
that if the Argus had not opposed, neither had it
| supported the administra stration-that he would put
the paper year upon probation, and if II behaved
sel, q. if it praised his pistol logic, his bargain
| with Mr. Adams for the western states, and sup
| orted his administration, right prong) HE
| might, at the close Of that period, restore IT,
There is one part ol the foregoing extract which
| carries such palpable fasehood tho face Of i
! that it takes with it Its own contradiction.
It's we'll known that tho public printing has all
| ways been bestowed upon papers friendly to
the national government. and that they have uni
ormy been selected, on the representation and re-
commendation Of the states where they printed.
This has been sniform practice and we Co no,
believe tha, Mr.Clay would depart from it, even il
he were inclined to do so. There would he gros.
mpolicy if not gro.s injustice, in such steps and
no man who wished to retain the good wishes o.
those upon whom he is dependant for support ant
countenance, would do so. The public printing
we learn from an authentic source, was removed
from the New-Hampshre Patriot aud Portland Ar
gus at the instance OF the united delegation of hos
states; and, without their advice, the patronage
heretofore extended to them would have been con
t,nued, notwithstanding the Patriot is among th'
most violent and unprincpsd opposers of the pre-
| sen. administration.
The Patriot has something To- say about wha
passed between "some" of the Maine delegation, an,
MIR. Clay, when spoken to on the subject of :hs re
moval of the printing from the Argus, which We d.
not believe any man, unless he possess the crsdu
lily Of ideot, will believe; and shall suffer
I to pass US, with simply remarkins, that We sha
GOT believe the tale. till have other proofs 70
it. correctness, than those which have already bee
D furnished. The article is but a sample Of tn
course 6 abuse adopted by the New dampshir
Patriot-it is specimen of the gross vulgarity an
: .currility, which the public may hereafter sxpec
D from the same quarter.
