President has appointed Mr.. Carr TO office! DO
they believe that they alone oftho editorial corps
are entitled toreceve lucrative or responsible Of
ices! $50. . =
But the rule ofproscrptiou which the Intelligent
Ger would enforce, does not with propriety apply
to MIR Carr. IL is fact, well. known, that the
late administration had entire monopoly Of the
press in Baltimore, and through that point were
operating upon the State. The friends Of the pre-
sent administration were compelled; 10 self-de-
tence, to establish the Baltimore Republican. Mr.
Carr, near relative Of Mr.. Jefferson. and
now President protein, of the Senate, consented to
become the Editor. He soon found that the du-
ties Of an Editor ola daily paper would require
him to relinqush, in great ASSURE, his practice
as member Of the bar, and in addition 70 that
| sacrifice, toiucur large pecuniary losses. This
he did hot hesitate to do; and we need not 60 fur
her for illustration Of his claims upon his politi
cal friends, than the Hattering and substantial tes-
tmoniai OF their good opinion, recorded in our pa
per OF last weck-for, il will be remembered that
so fully sensible were they of his merits and SER
vices, that they presented him with service Of
plate worth one thousand dollars IF further II.
Illustration were wanting, 1t would be- found in the
bitter hostility oil the National Int lligencer.
But the rule Of the Intslligenccr does not apply
in another respect Mr.. Carr's connexon with
| the press, was known to be temporary. He, some
time since, made arrangements to transfer his pa
tPer to another, and his appointment was made at
request Oi INC IrlenuS OIL the PrcaJeQt
IN Bsitmore, who have recommended him on ac-
count OF his individual worth and qualifications
/ his appointment, therefore, was given TO him as
| the reward Of merit as a citizen, in accordance
with public sentiment at Baltimore. As to the
person who has been removed, we wish him no
harm-he has been weighed in the balance and
found wanting: and tho Intelgencer says but lit
tie for him, when it rests his claims TO be contin-
ued IN office, upon the ground that he is the son of
mertorious father. This administration respects
| much Ia NJ her of
tors, but the public interest is tantamount to all
other considerations, and il requires, that in the
selections of its agents, the government should
look to their own qualifications, rather than those
OF their parents 10. S. Telegraph.

from the constant publication Of faisehoods, which

the most prohgaie OF this character, is that which
hrst made its appearance in the United States'
Gazette, Of Philadelphia, in the shape Of letter,
pretending to detail transactions at Washington
and introducing the OF the Editor of this pa
per as the purchaser of property, to large amount
10 the insinuatfon that tho money to pay for the
property stated, is to be improperly obtained from
the treasury, we can make reply No such
purchases have been made. The statement reIa-
tive to the policy of the cabinet, and of Mr. Van

to the same credence. I'D

states south OF the Potomac and east of the Allie pbn-

terestedness of the original patriot States il shows
conclusvely, that these States supported the late
change oil administration on principle, and only OIL
principle. ID.
