The following is an authoritative state
ment of the opinions entertained by our
political opponents twenty years ago, in
regard to the removals and appointments
from and to office by an incoming admin
istration. 1t was made, it is true, when
the policy advocated and justified operated
in favor of our opponents; but now, as it
operates against them, why, circumstances
alter cases-and principles, too, it would
seem; and the policy is in their opinion
nothing more than abominable proscrip-
ton!
FRANKLIN Mills, ~ Sept. 8, 1923.
ITO reform measures, there must be change of
men without change Of men, fraud cannot
be punished; dehnquencies cannot be detected: I'M
lawful allowances cannot be stopped; improper
modes OF DOING business and irregular practices in
office can never be corrected Do moi all Offices
belong to the people, What right have the ncum-
bents to them more than others, No wrong is done
TO the man who is removed, for he is deprived of
no right IL is the duty Of the President and all
others to whom the people have entrusted the DOW
err, to remove their subordinates whenever thew be-
eve the public interest requires il. So fascinating
is power, and so corrupting the long possession OF
office, that believe the chances for pure admin
lstration would be much greater. were a limit of
eight or ten years prescribed, beyond which no
man should be competent to hold any Of the subor-
dlnate Offices at Washington. II is the policy of
office holders to create impression that their Of
hoes are pirate rights that they are wronged when
removed; that they have right to demand the rea-
sons for their removal, and have them formally set
forth. When the people assent to doctrine like
this, you may bid farewell to all hope Of reform,
however great may be the abuses Of our Govern
ment. We shall have clerks, auditors, comptroI-
ers, registers, treasurers, and secretaries for life
bad customs will never be corrected; erroneous
principles will prevail forever; precedent will take
the place of law the official corps at Washington
VIII govern the Union; and II we do not have Pres-
dents for life, we shall have entailed upon us for
ever succession from one Office to another pre-
serving the unity Of the official phaanx, and per
petuatng all their opinions and abuses In nv
opinion me people have more cause to fear too fec
removals than too many.

INQUIRY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.

To watch with vigilance and to guard
with firmness the vast fiscal concerns OF
this Government, is one of the most sa
cred and important duties that devolve
upon an administration. 1t is not less its
duty to avoid prodigality and wasteful ex-
penditure Of public money, than it is to
see that all appropriations are faithfully
applied in contemplation of law.
The President and his Cabinet have
entered upon their high trust, fully i'm
pressed with the importance of this obi
cation; and searching scrutiny is at
work, not only to reach concealed delin-
quency, but to hold to strict accounta-
bility every one entrusted with Govern
ment funds.
The history Of the Government for the
last twenty years is marked by such stu
pendous frauds upon the revenue-by so
many criminal violations of official duty
by such an open disregard of law-by
such glazing usurpations of rightful au-
thority-by such profuse waste OF public
treasure, and the immunity given by sem
tinels sleeping on their posts, that the pre-
sent Administration is admonished to turn
away from such examples, and to purge
the whole system Of its impurities, that
healthful moral tone may be given to the
Government.
The people, upon whom rests the whole
burthen Of furnishing means to carry on
the Government, are deeply interested in
this important matter, and they can but
view its progress with interest.
Already the working Of this system has
not been without its fruit, as is seen in the
exposure of the numerous cases of official
delinquency that have already been given
to the public.
