Political Dirty Work. :. agy,,

~. Political Dirty Work. aa.E57at
r. Last week akind of semi-inquisitorial invest.
agation was had in this city on the oficial con-
duct Of the present Surveyor General, instituted
at the instance Of some disappointed wing office
seeker, and countenanced by the Department OF
/ the Interior. t4a ga, ~
81 We have no doubt but that this department is
thirsting for an opportunity to Stake its appetite
ON the political blood of the present Surveyor
4 General, but hnving promised not to remove ex-
iacept for cause, they find it difficult to crafty
their lying desire and maintain shadow of con-
sistency Hence the avidity with which they
seize upon assumed malversion in Office, giving
to their own idle and malignant fancies all the
importance of truth. e.
Foa As politicians we ask nothing from the pres
ent administration. We do not even thank
them for favors bestowed upon an individual here
and there, from our party; but in the name Of
goodness let them act upon manly and honora-
bic principles, when they must get rid of loco
foco. Surel, the administration has not lost AL
moral sense-surely they cannot SO soon forget
that they are men.
t,.. We remember the time when they stopped to
conquer; but until recent developments present
ed them in their true colors, we could not sup
pose that the mean, sneakng, skulking articles
Of the animal nature, would be countenanced by
men making the least pretensions to highmnd-
ed or honorable sentiments. .
81 The charge preferred against Col. Booth, is,
that he employed deputy Surveyors, knowing
them to be incompetent. Suppose that he has
appointed incompetent men in one or two instan-
ces; may he not have been deceived? May he
not have been imposed upon? To sustain the
charge effectually they must prope that Col.
Booth employed deputies kno,cing them to be
incompetent, they cannot prove this, they
prove nothing against him.
I'D It is well known that every employed deputy
must make oath as to his competency, and give
bond for the faithful discharge of his duty. Can
the administration require the Surveyor Gener-
al to go behind this oath? can they assail him
through the oath and bond? will they make him
be the doubter of a mans sincerity? If they
will, then let the same test be applied to them
selves; and who among them from the President
down to the foot of the Cabinet will escape inn
peachment' Apply the same test all round and
we shall -fair-agreed. ~.
