to Washington, though, no doubt, some sniiahie
arrangement will be imme lately made 10 insure
the faithful discharge of the public business, in
the State Department and the oni,e Of The AT
torney General of the United States. Faithful

tr,tion, has become SO fully con6ded in, that no
one ever gives himself the slightest concern on
that score. Many there are who would rejoice,
