 Hard to Fill Offices.
 It was hard, in filling even the great CT offices, to find men Of euinence who were willing to leave the service Of their states or the security and ease of private life to try the untrodden paths or federal government The states were old and secure-so men thought-the federal government was new and an experiment. The stronger sort Of men, particularly amongst those bred to the law, showed, many of them, a great reluctance to identify themselves with new institutions set but five or six months ago; and Wash ington, though he meant to make very liberal allowance for differences Of opinion, would invite no man to stand with him in the new service who did not thoroughly believe in it.
 He was careful to seek out six of the best lawyers to be had in the country when he made up the Su- preme court, and to choose them from as many states-John Jay of New York to be chief justice; John Rut- ledge of South Carolina, William Cushing of Massachusetts, John Blair of Virginia; James Wilson of Penn sylvania, and R. II. Harrison of Mary land-for he knew that the govern ment must draw it's strength from the men who administered it, and that the common run of people must learn to respect 1t in the persons of it's officers. But he was equally careful to find out in advance of every appointment what the man whom he wished to ask thought of the new government and wished it's future to be.
 Many to whom he offered appoint ment declined; minor offices seemed most to go s-begging amongst men of assured position such as it was his object to secure. It needed all the tact and patience he could command to draw about him a body of men such as the country must look up to and revere. His letters again went abroad by the hundred, and. as so often be- fore, to persuade men to their duty, build a buIwark of right opinion round about the government. make his pur- poses clear and his plans effective. He would spare no pains to make the government both great end permanent
 Tours Eastern States.
 Tn October. 1TS9. his principal ap- pointments all made. the government in full operation, and affairs standing still tin congress should meet again, he went upon a four weeks tour of the eastern states, to put the people in mind there, by his own pres ence, of the existence and dignity of the federal government. and to make trial of their feeling toward it. They received him with cordial enthusiasm, for he was secure Of their love and ad. miration; and he had once more a royal progress from place to place all the way to far New Hampshire and back again.
 He studiously cOntrived to make E. everywhere felt, nevertheless, by ev cry turn of ceremonial and behavior. that he had come. not as' the hero Of the Revolution, but as the president of the United States.
 At Boston Governor Hancock sought. by cordial notes and pleas of illness to force Washington 10 waive the courtesy of a first call from him and so give the executive Of Massa chusetts precedence, if only for old friendships sake. But Washington would not be so defeated of his CT
