Grose offered resolution to appoint a,
special committee of five to examine into
the prices paid for public printing, and to
report whether letting it out to lowest
bidder would not be more economical y
Grose said he had been informed by those
competent to Judge, that the printing could
now be done for fifty per cent less than it
now costs. He had understood that in
computing the amount of the work., the

The piratical doctrine ''to the victors be-
longs the spoils," is too highly esteemed
by the Africans to permit measure of this
kind to pass. Their object is to have some
reward for every prominent partizan. to
compensate them. at the peoples expense,
for their labor in behalf oft the party. This
is the true secret of the matter. There is no
doubt, as Mr.. Grose remarked, that the
public printing could be done equally as
well in every respect, for one half what it
now costs. Why then is not the measure
adopted? Because they would have no
prize to hold up before the editors to induce
them to lie and misreprcsent, for the bene-
fit of the party.

this time, had again convened, and having
no further business it was adjourned with
