good authority that INSTRUCTIONS HAVE

Our readers cannot fail to be struck with the
contrast between the spirit and policy of the
present administration and that of Gen. Wash
ington, as manifested in the above, and the
following instances. When Gen. Jackson en-
tered upon the Presidency, one of his first
measures was, by general sweep, to remove
from all the offices within his control, every
incumbent who did not belong to his political
party, aud fill their places with others devoted
to his interests and from that day to this it
has been the settled policy of the Loco Foco
administrations to use their immense patronage
In rewarding political friends and Furnishing
opponents-thus introducing most dangerous
principle, and sacrificing the interests of the
country to those of party. The offices be !.
long to the couutry,and their advantages should
be shared by all parties they are created for
the benefit of the whole people, and ought to
be hlled by those best qualified for the duties
OF them, regardless of any other distinctions.
So judged Gen. Washington, as will be seen
by the following, from the Mothers Magazine.

application was made to him BY a peniIe.

Mr. w. Cost Johnson made some few re-
marks. which could not be heard, and NOV.
ed an adjournment. H
The ayes and noes were ordered, and the
motion again lost---ayes los, noes l3.
A division OF the Resolutions was then
called for. and the yeas and nays ordered
upon each.
Mr. Williams, OF Tenn. here asked leave
to be excused, and appealed to the House 10
excuse him. Mr. W. was about TO give his
reasons, when the Speaker called him to or
der. and the House joined in the call. Mr.
w. was compelled TO take his seat, and was
not excused
MIR Wise rose and said whether the House
excused him or not, he should not vote. He
would state his reasons, and the Speaker
should not prevent him, for the Both rule OF
the House gave him permission 10 give his
reasons MIR Wise commenced giving his
reasons against the first resolution. II spoke
Of Slavery in the States. and Congress had
nothing 10 do witk Slavery in the States.
The Speaker called MIR Wise 10 order,
and decided i, was no, in order to give this
as reason for not voting, and the same in
terruption followed every one Of Mr. Wise's
reasons, until
MIR Peiriken. of Pennsylvania. called Mr.
Wise to order for discussing the merits Of
the resolutions
Mr. Wise said he was not discussing the
merits ofthe resolutions.
The Speaker said that was no. in order.
Mr. Wise said he had right to give his
reasons. The 3Oth rule gave him that right.
and he should exercise il, with difference
and respect 10 the Speaker and the House.
Mr. Wise continued. and proceeded TO give
his reasons. when the Speaker and several
members called him to order. and he was
compelled TO take his seat.
Mr. Jenifer said he was opposed 10 the res.
olutions, because they had been introduced
in an Objectionable manner, and passed with
an indecent haste BY their author. in way
altogether unbecoming, and after long
speech
The vote was then taken upon the first
resolution, which was carried-ayes 1873,

estimation. fnot of himself, of his friends IN
degree necessary 10 the happiness OF
Washington. and had therefore, IN their
opinion, only to apply for the ONCE TO re-
ceive il Ii was a boon, which, while It
would insure competency and ease TO
friend. would bring that friend into frequent
intercourse with his patron, and iormer as
socate in arms
For the same Office, however, there was a
competitor but as he was decidedly hostile
to the politics Of Washington, and had made
himself conspicuous among the opposers OF
his administration, no serious apprehensions
were felt from this quarter. Towards such
a mana well known political enemy
Washington surely could feel under no OBJ
legations, and was not likely to prefer such
one to personal friend and favorite.-
Every one acquainted with the pretensions
of the two applicants was at no loss TO Judge
as to the Presidents decision, and the con-
current opinion was in favor oil the friend,
and against his competitor.
Judge, then. the general surprise, when It
was announced that the political opponent
of Washington was appointed to the office,
and the former associate OF the General in
the tolls and deprivations Of camp was left
destitute and detected.
When this decision was known, mutual
friend, who interested himself in the affair,
ventured TO demonstrate with the President
on the injustice of his appointment My
friend" replied this illustrious man, " re-
ceive him with cordial welcome +; he is
welcome 10 my house, and welcome TO my
heart but with all his good qualities he is

Who can read this incident in the life oil
this distinguished man, and not admire his
integrity ? The temptation to hazard the
public good for the benefit and qualification
of friend-and such a iriend-must have
been powerful. Some nigh, have persuad-
ed themselves that the public veal would
not suffer; at least, they would have been
willing 10 make the experiment But Wash
ington seems 20 have proceeded in this in
stance, and in what similar instance did he
not proceed, upon just and conscientious prin-
ciples His friend. with all bis estmable
qualities, had no business-tact; his enemy
was gentleman OF strong integrity, promp-
titude, and fidelity in business, and every
quality which, if called into exercise, would
render service to the State The decision
OF Washington, therefore. was just, honora-
bic, and patriotic.
