"Let the treasury be opened to him 20 This, we
have no. doubt, would, to Mr. Adams, be the NOSE
agreeable way in which the nations gratitude's
could be 8. manifested" to himself; and, we have
as little doubt, that he would be perfectly willing,
nay, would be delighted to pension off the Hero IF
New Oreans-to give him a handsome annuity
out of the treasury'-on conditions to wit, that
lie would I" deciine office" Mr.. Everett, one Of
Mr.. Adams leaders In the House of Representa-

that the salaries Of our Ministers were too small
to admit of their living like gentlemen. Now Mr..

ct, without doing single thing for it-and under
the same ORDER " let the treasury be opened to him.,
he gave TO John King, the son of Rufus, $4,000
for sc mepks services-no not, for services: for
he rendered none. MIR. Galatn was about to 60
out to relieve Mr.. King-hir. King knew he was

motto YVES, let the treasury be opened" he be-
thought him, that as he was obliged, by i'll health,
to take his own fingers out of the treasury he might
give his son John chance to slip his in. So with.
out waiting for Mr. Gallatin's arrival he quitte1
England, leaving his aforesaid son John in charge
of the papers Of the mission. In this sense John
was Charge, but in no other, for his father had
not the power to make him so-John sta,d sia
