EXECUTIVE PRINTING.

"The Courier and Enquirer might have
learned on inquiry, that the work of the sew
eral Executive Departments and of Congress is
regulated, not by the President, but by law,
and is executed, not by selected contractors,
but by the lowea bidders. These propretors
are not, and never have been, under the slight
est pecuniary obligation to the Wing Admins
tration or any member of it, to the Wing men,
bers or any Wing member of Congress, or to
any individual inside or outside of the Govern
ment, by way of loan or donation, or in any
other way saving in the ordinary routine of
individual business, and in pursuance of the
competition contemplated by law. We owe
nothing, therefore, to any Wing Administra-
ton, or to the Wing members of Congress, be-
yOnd the satisfaction that we derive from CIV
ing them both the advantage, if it be one, of
having journal at the seat of Government
which sustains the Wing cause, according to
its convictions of public duty, and has sustain
ed Wing Administration principles and
in a line of policy which are approved, in our
humble judgment by very large majority of
the American people. Washington Republic.
We do not know what work the Executive
Departments have for the Printers beside the
advertisements, and these the law directs to be
given, not to the " lowest bidder but to the
"two newspapers at the seat of Government
having the largest permanent subscription
and to such third paper as the President may
designate. The Congressional Printing is done
by contract, by the lowest bidder; but this is
not the law in relation to Executive Printing.
In violation of the law regulating this printing,
the advertisements are given to the Union and
Hateligencer-the one with nine and a half
thousand, the other with eight thousand sub
scribers-in preference to the Southern Press
and Era, the one with seventeen thousand,
the other with eight thousand, subscribers.
This is favortism in violation of law. The
third paper, the chosen of the President for the
Executive Printing, is the Republic, which as
serts that "it owes nothing to any Wing Adj
ministration, beyond the satisfaction " the lat
ter may derive from having faithful exponent
of Wing Principles. And it is chosen, though
it has not much over four thousand permanent
subscribers. Without the patronage thus be-
slowed, it could not, we presume, pay its ex-
penses We find no fault with this, for the
patronage is given without violation of law
but we do find fault with the President and his
Secretaries, in giving the Executive advertise
ments to the Union, in violation of law, when
the Era and Southern Press both take preee-
dence of it in the extent of their permanent
subscriptions. If our claim is to be set aside on
the himsy pretext that our paper is a weekly,
on what ground is the claim of the Southern
Press to be denied That is daily, and has
larger list than the Union We are not set for
the defence of our neighbor but it is shameful
that an Administration forever Wanting its
fidelity to the Constitution and Laws, should
persist in gross disobedience to plain, positive
legal requisition.

TERRIBLE ATTACK ON MASSACHUSETTS.

Mr.. Hillyer, of Georgia, flaming represent
alive of the Union Party of that State, in the
course of speech delivered a few days since
on Slavery, made a terrible attack on the rep
utation of Massachusetts. 1t is questionable
whether some of the members from that an
cient Commonwealth will be able to survive it,
upon the floor of this House, said Mr.
Hillyer, sitting in the midst of the Wing par
ty is a member from Massachusetts, sent here
by the Wings of that State, who has voted to
give white men the liberty of marrying negro
girls He is sent here as Wing, and is sit
ting in full fellowship with the Wing party.

marry negro girl for. Laughter. do not
know what his constituents want to marry ne

Mr. Duncan, of Massachusetts, here became
greatly distresSed-the innuendoes of the ora
tor alarmed him Under a solemn sense of
of what was due to the Old Bay State, he arose
to interpose in her behalf Mr. H. reluctantly
yielded, when the Massachusetts member COM

ton

aware of" Laughter.
The white gentlemen of Massachusetts
should present gold medal to their represent
alive for his tender care of their reputation.
Mr.. Hillyer, however, was pertinacious-he
thought the remark of Mr.. Duncan a mere
evasion and so delighted was he with the point
that he had made, that he still continued to
prick Mr. d.
There is an evasion worthy of notice. The
white men of Massachusetts have not availed
themselves of the privilege of that law 1t
turns out that they do not want the privilege,
! aud do not value it. Why did they insist upon
a negro girl, why pass statute authorizing
it ~
Sure enough, Mr.. H In other parts of the
country-your own State, for example-when
"a white man" wants "a negro girl" he
can have her without marrying. we suppose.
The same tasteful gentleman, in another
part of his speech, considerably relieved the
People of Massachusetts, from the imputation
insinuated against them by asserting, in most
elegant phrase, his belief that no man in that
State could be found to discard the Anglo
Saxon girl with her blooming cheek, bright
eyes, and warm heart, in favor ola black. greasy
