impossible barrier TO all social intercourse be-
tween high officials and the mere citizen, which
would be contrary to the genius of our Govern
ment.
However much your committee may
condemn such improper contracts, they feel
called upon to say they do not perceive any
ground to attach blame in this instance, either
to the President or the Secretary. 1t does not
appear that the Secretary was ever informed of
its existence, and of course never countenanced
or knowingly encouraged it. 1t does not ap-
pear that the President was ever informed of
it until period between October Is and No
vember Is last, and then summarily disposed
of it by saying be had no advice to gives"
" that it was no affair of his" Here his con-
nection with the subject began and ended
and here your committee dismiss it."
Here it is proved, that the purchase was
made by Swift when the public service did not
require it, and that the advertisement by which
it was pretended to invite competitors was
studiously framed to prevent it, and so as to
render compliance with the terms of it by any
other person than Swift impossible And it is
apparent that the object was to indemnify and
reward an Old Line Wing, who was made
Democrat, Mr.. Pitt says, by him, by process
not stated, but easily understood from the con-
tract between them, who was introduced by
him to Mr.. Buchanan, was willing to pay
$4,000 to elect him, and did actually pay
$4,000 out Of his own pocket to carry the
election in Pennsylvania. There is no room
for cavil about the facts Of this transaction.
Mr.. Bocock says, indeed, that however much
the committee would condemn any personal
favoritism to the public detriment they are
gratifed to perceive that the Secretary seems
never to have lost sight of the public interest"
But this language, which has no other justif-
cation than that the Secretary did not pay
Swift one dollar and thirty cents per foot for
the timber, when there were other bids amer
pectedly put in offering to furnish it at one dol
lar and twelve and half cents, sounds like
satire even in the mouth of friend, in view of
the facts disclosed by the testimony, and en-
bodied in the report copied above. The i'm
portance of the case is not in the magnitude of
the amount involved, although that is large,
but in showing the details of the system by
which lavish appropriations subvert popular
government, and verify Mr.. Jeferson's maxim,
that we must choose between economy and
liberty.
