Virginia advocate. [volume] (Charlottesville, Va.) 1827-1860, 1829-07-17

I'o oSy Y., iouhu Suilty OF approving the mea-
sures OF Washington and Adams, and who have
committed the objectionable sin of executing
the laws OF the United States against LYON, Of
sP'ltihg memory. have been displaced, and two
Siaaneh democrats have been appointed i'm their
pn aSes' These offices IRE worth together about
Capt. Thomas Martin, a respectable Federal.
ISL who was Collector for Portsmouth, has been
removed, and Joseph Whipple, Esq. who was
removed from that very office by Mr. Adams, is
ro.apPo'nted. This is a direct and positive cri.
'nlnat'1n of the late President. Decacy, one
put we see that all old things are to be done a.
way, and all things are to become mc,o. This
Office may be worth $500 per annum.
| Iohn Pierce, man beloved and revered in the
state OF New Hampshire, has been removed from
tne ONCE OF Commissioner of Loans, on account.
OF MS politics. and William Gardner, furious
IN democracy, and who had likewise been re.
moved by Mn. Adams, has been re-appointed.
Office worth $1,000
Two Narshalls have been appointed, and one
displaced In Pennsylvania, on account of politi.
cal tenets-their names do not recollect. but.
tne pubic may be assured of the fact Offices
worth $4,000. Marshal has been appointed
IN virginia, and David Mead Randolph, FEEDER
ahst, has been removed from the same causes.
! It Is said, that the President has condescend.
Gu, IN some instances, to notice the Commissions
OF Justices of the Peace for the small district or

|. rs certain, that influenced by the same spr
n, the acting Secretary of the Navy, General
Dearborn, we hear by the order of the pros;aa.s,
has removed James Watson, ESQ. of Ros,on 80
navy Agent, and replaced them, it is said, with
ldeinocrauc parhsans. In these latter cas.s. no
such officeis were known by law, thew were
mere factors employed by the Secretary, and one
would think so long as man acted faithfully
and ably, he ought to be continued in emnin,y
ment; especially as these Offices REQUIRE pre,,
knowledge OF the peculiar business, and experi
ehce therefore must be useful But il seems,
man Is not ouly not to hold an office, bur not 70
DC in!rus'ed with buying and selling goods un

The Supreme Executive.
Thus we see, that in the short space or f,,
eoeehs, MIR. Jefferson has removed four,cep oJJ
oihcers, who are charged ONLY with tho b,b
crime and misdo meahor of admirinp TN. A d,ni,n
istrations OF Washington and Adams; and nm.
pointed nineteen gentlemen all of his own pecu.
liar tenets in politics, the aggregate of whose
salaries and profits, amount TO the moderat sum
OF $o2,0c per annum. Surely this cannot be
said to be starring the cause and surely these
very patriotic citizens have not clamored in
vain. 1t is confidently asserted, that to COM

The New Haven remonstrancc at length gave
MIR. Jefferson occasion to explain and vindicate
the principles which guided him. He used it
etfectually. We have every confidence that
the course of Gen Jackson on the subject of re-
movaIs and appointments, will BIZ, in like man
ner, eifcctually sustained.

which ''venal printers" assailed the measures of

! Around the administration of Gen Jackson
the people will rally, and they will sustain him.
They see that their trusts have been abused.
They will applaud the vigilance which has de-
tected these abuses and the energy which has cor
rected them They see that their agents have De
culated on the public money, and they will see
and acknowledge the propriety of removal and
punishment. They will turn a deaf year TO the
invectves and censures of his enemies, when
they see him devotng his whole time to the
cares and duties ofhis station, and guarding the
treasury from the depredations OF The vermin left
by the last administration to waste and dilapi.
