honorable stipendary Of government, the Min

number Of years he has borne the cruel burden
Of his Office, the amount he has written, the
cost Of publishing it, and the beggarly hundred
thousand received for his services, he certainly
deserves better treatment than that received from
the Gazette last week. Some tyro, we dare say,
