Mr. EClitor:-No one can doubt that entire
uuanimity prevails in this town against the Code
of Laws for the District In reply to a Sub
scri5er," in Mondays Gazette, would remark,
that the subject has not escaped the attention OF
those whose duty it is to look after the interests
of the town; and that, from information derived
from respectable source, there need be no APP
prehension of its passage by Congress with
out an animated opposition.
As il is desirable, as we'll us the inclination oil
our people generally, that Congress should not
unnecessarily be troubled with our affairs, il
will perhaps be better to wait for further deve-
lopments, before an expression by the town be
made in its collective capacity; and it is now
understood, by those Of that body who feel an
interest in our welfare, what our views are on
this important subject. ga Subscriber" may,
therefore, rely upon his suggestion being acted
upon zealously, whenever the action he pro
poses becomes necessary.

washington, Jan. "a 1880
The strides of the party in power towards the
concentration Of all the government in the hands
of the Executive are daily growing more and
more daring and bold. A simultaneous attack
upon the Judiciary in the form of personal abuse
of the Judges Of the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States, is made by all the pensioned presses
Of the country north, west, south and east. one
reptile, more fantastic in his venomous and Sill
my gyrations than the rest, presumes to be Wit
ty in his sanderous abuse; and calls the Bench,
composed of John Marshall, Joseph Story, John
Mclean, and their associates, cOur DIES lnrdftdS;
the pitifu ribald! Next, the Senate is attack
ed, and marked forum and destruction, because
at the beck Of the Isaac Hills, F. p. Blairs and
Amos Kendalls, whose unholy schemes it frus-
trates it will not prostitute its healthu, benig-
nant and sautary influence, to the support of all
the measures of Andrew Jackson, dictated and
advised by them! The House of Representative
es is the next object of their Vaccinations
Not many days ago, as | informed you at
the time il was made subject OF grave argu-
ment on the floor of that House, whether or
not the Chairman of Committees should be
selected with reference to their political SYM
pathes with the Executive Officer of the Go
vernment: and now, as if that were not
enough for one week, a member brings
forward a Resolution, for adoption by the
House. that is intended, obviously and with
the possibility of Il mistake intended 10 establish

Of that body, in the exercise of their right OF
suffrage in the election of their own officers
as Speaker, Clerk, Printer, &c. as shall expose
them TO the enmity, or secure them the favor, OF
the Executive!
Would this, markedly stated as it is, have been
believed three, or even two years ago! Would
not that man have been deemed fanatical
mailman, who. at that time, should have ventu-
red to predict such an occurrence! And yet
who is startled by il now? The steps of usurp.
ers in their encroachments upon the rights OF
the people are ever firm in proportion to their
number. The stealing of power from the many
TO the few is like the wary depredations OF the
midnight ro5ber, who works in silence while all
else sleep The daring deeds Of daring men
