The Secretary rl the Treasury advcrises for bids
COR Treasury notes. That is the Government wis h
to borrow money, for which they viii give Treasury
notes for security on the best terms offered.
Here is al uuro Disclosed .nc .g.ta'iou of this
part OF the scheme Of the administration to sustaiu
itself and the thousands of Ieechcs " hich suck
ing the hearts blood Of the Republic. Tie whole
plan was but contrvance for the benefit of the
Office holders. Its origin corrupt, and it will
feed corruption in the public offices, from the high
to the lowest. The Secretary under the direc-
ton of the President authorised to issue the notes
bearing interest of six per cent. Now he advertses
for premium, which, it is presumed is to be con-
sidered a perquisitc of the office. SO the game
begins. Next, we find them for sale in the market
where they will be purchased to pay debts due the
government for duties or lands. The collectors and
public receivers, being repositories of the public
monies, by order Of the President, and not by law,
account for money received only-thcir perguiSitc
being the interest accommodating between the time
ofrecelving and of paying over the money. Thus
from the Secretary of the Treasury downward, ev-
cry public ofiicer,-or every officer receiving public
money-"has the priUaege Of the dralo and perqui
safes '-ior his fidelity TO the government, and the
glory of the administration.
1t is truly surprising that such course of things
should be for moment tolerated by intelligent per.
sons--by single individual who does not ex pect
TO derive some personal advantage from the lun-
der taken by such means from the people. That
the Office holders, whose bread and butter depend
upon this system of practice, should endeavor to
sustain it, is not surprising; but that it should not
be resisted by the voice and influence of everyiree
