The u I'D OF the State, the Treasury, War and the
Navy Departments, would receive 2i3 papers per
day! No uonbi tits from this torrent of information
mat Mr.. Clay has been able to mature his .d,ue,f
can System; and that Mr.. Rush has Caught the
Sublime idea OF regulating the whole laoor and
capital OF the country" Can you inform US what
number OF Clerks il will rcquirc to read these pa
peis in office hours?
There is another view Of this s,biccC-Most OF
Tue papers in the United States are semi weekly
ones. varying, then, the preceding calculation
and relieving the Clerks from the srus.cry Of read
ns 30 many papers per diem, II follows that these
iour departments oil the Government could take
3io papers per annutn--and il; they chose to vary
their papers, might extend their patronage 10 3iy
Printing offices and their Edi,ors-to so MANY

to be given TO the devoted tools OF the Adminis-

MIR STEVENSON
The following Communication will explain the
character vi Il new charge, which has been pro-
pagated i'll this City against Andrew Stevenso,i-
For the present, the reader will Judge OF il for
himself. For parts, we do not believe
MIR. :. 10 be such fool or such a knaye as John
Sloane would make him out 10 be.-Me do not
believe, that he could have uttered such words 1t
is unnecessary for US 10 repeat the poor opinion,
which we have so long entertained and 20 often
| expressed, about the aforesaid Mr.. Sloane.-Mr
Steve nson is not here-He has gone with his aini-
| ly to Aibemarle--Whenh he returns, he will take
such notice o: tlic attack as seems best to him:
FOR THE ENQUIRER
| Next to General Jackson, Mr.. Stevenson seems
TO be the peculiar object OF vengeance with the ad
minisiraton party here. For days there has
been rumor that the mountain was in labor--and
to day II brought lorth-not mouse, but some
thing equally harnless--a charge gains, Mr.. Ste
venson OF Offering IL support the administration if
they would elevate him 10 the Speakers chair
This, il true, damns him with all parties; and if
talse-those who hav, fabricated and circulated il
should receive The same fate. Ii is introduced to
the Public, prefaced with expressions of friendship
to the individual impcatcd--if this be friendship,
well may Mr. Stevenson say - save from my
friends But TO the charge. MIR. Sloane of @ nio
| Ter whose responsibility the endorses, says
that in Dec. '25, i'll the Hall oil the House OF Re.
p'esenatives just as the members w re beginning
10 prepare their ballots, Mr.. Stevenson said 10 him
g elect me Speaker and by God, will sustain the
administration; and said il too, with great e.rest-
| ness and with peculiar gesticulation. In what
estimation the People be held by those who at
tempt 10 palm such absurtties upon them! If Mr.
). wished To intrigue for the Office bargain it'll
the administration party (the usual lode OF pro-
ceeding about that unie) would he have waited
until the members were preparing their ballots:
Would he have made the OFF,, when Sloane's
vote was the only one that could in all probability
be gained by it, and would he have made it in 50
public place and so public manner? II he could
have acted thus, the namy OF the transaction i:
surpassed only by its Jolly Why has not thi.
gentleman (o great responsibility according the
-, but OF which the people will take the liberty
OF Judging for themseves) told this wonderful tale
before: Why did he not make it public in Dec.
last, when il was SO very important that ani-
nstralion man should be elected Speaker! To these
queries there can be but one answer. BY way o.
substantiang ii somew hat, he says, that be in
formed one OF his colleagues OF it the tine tai.
IS the counterpart OF Judge Williamss proof Of the
Burr business, and Is, indeed, new mode OF proc
unknown 10 our ignorant ancestors and is discoy
cry made in the recent march ofintellect Here
alter 1t will only be necessary, when proof is de
manded Of public SANDER to produce evidence
that you have for years ci cuiaied i; privately
We know that this Mr.. John Sloane is in no good
odour az home; that the opposition papers in o.
ho make very light of him, ridicung his Ia
tents and hi political pTctensions; and that the,
have dashed him with -uch biting severity that lac
who does not hesitate To attack the characters O
others, has shown himself 80 ignorant OF our poll

This letter was written on the 2Sth of Aug. an,
, must have been IN this city for 10 days WHY
, was its publication delayed? But enough has beef
said. Mr. Stevenson is fully able 10 defend biinsel
against the attacks oil open enemies and pretended
) friends. VIRGlNIUS.
