ADMINISTRATION OF WASHINGTON.

"a generation has passed away since Wash
ington closed his political life;-and when we
now review all the acts OF his Administrations the
measures which he adopted, the principles which
he avowed, and the resolution upon which he acted,
to make the patronage and offices subservient to
the interests of the whole country, and not to sur
render them 10 the base and grovelling and cor
ruptlng influences ofparty; when we review these
things, we cannot but confess ourselves struck
with reverential awe of his transcendant purity
and greatness. He gave no office whatsoever,
except to merit and for merlt-to private virtue,
and for acknowledged talent, and for the public
good. He considered the patronage of the 60
vemment rs sacred trust, created for the good OF
the whole people, and to be employed for the
good of the whole. 1t never entered his head TO
conceive, that the time could ever possibly arrive
in this free land, in which the patronage OF go
vernment should be employed to bring down the
people to the footsool of their rulers or to orga-
nze a band of Office holders to manage elections,
or to inmdate or corrupt or influence electors.
In the presence of Washington, the man who
should have given utterance to the suggestion OF
such system, would have shrunk into absolute
nothingness by withering look, which would
have branded him as the foulest of traitors to his
country.

and acted as freemen, who held their liberties in
their own hands, and not at the mercy of rulers;
and the first attempt to trample upon them, would
have taught the usurpers the lesson-''who would
be free, themselves must strike the blow Let
the young men OF the present day read the history
of the administration of Washington, so iorcibly
and truly written out in the pages of Marsha:
It will purify them from thousand vague gene

OH which the government was originally framed
1t will teach them the utter worthlessness of all
mere political theories, and the invaluable autho-
rilv of experience. 1t will teach them that no re-
public can be well or wisely governed, except by
men of high intellect comprehensive knowledge
incorrupble integrity, and disnterested patriot
ism. 1t will teach them that the demagogue is the
worst enemy of the people, and his kindred cha
racter, the courtier, is the worst enemy of the
monarch. 1t will teach them that the truest course
Of ambition is to found its favors and It's honors
not upon the huzzas of the multitude but upon
the solemn judgments of the wise and good, upon
the distant praise whose voice speaks from the
hearts Of millions, and gives back from the tomb
the deep echoes of its own thankfulness."

been selected as most competent to perform novel and
hazardous all un,eI Ialingand much larger
would have been cheeriuly gvcn-all declined, and it
was generally deemed impraccable. Indeed, the

address in research, and seeing the total failure of its

low citizens, had nearly desparrd Of the accomplish

listed, and very large sums o money expended
In this nnpronislng state the matter rested for
time during which the attention OF those charged with
