Where is our Goi>ertiment ?—It can hard
ly be forgotten, that in the year 1793, when
the calamities cf peftilence rendered it ne
ceiTary to remove the offices of government
out of the city of Philadelphia, great clam
our was raifed by the democrats, becauic the
president and heads of departmci > did not
keep together in one place. VS'e were eve
ry day informed of the amount of falary
drawn by thefe officers as a compensation
for devoting their time to the lcrvicc of the
people, and yet, that they were on that cc
canon io leparatea as to lender it extremely
inconvenient to tranfabt bufinefs with them.
I hey were accufed of deferting their polls $
abdicating the government ; cheating the
public out of the amount of their falaries,
etc. etc. We fiiould now' be glad to know
of tht fe watchful guardians of the people’s
rights, whether the duty of public officers
have materially changed fince that time j
whether their falaries have been reduced 5
or whether any new principle has been in
troduced and lanctioned, exculing the of
ficers of the adminiitration from devoting
their time to the public. Unlcfs fome fuch
change has taken place, how are we to ac
count for the uniform abfence of almoft
every public officer from the feat of govern
ment during the recefs of congrefs ? There
has not been a fingle fummer, fince Mr.
Jelferfon came into power, that the prefi
dent and heads of departments have not
been difperfed into different and remote
parts of the country, though they have nev
er been driven away by the terrour of yel
low fever.
During the whole of the prefent fummer,
the public mind has been agitated with a
variety of important transactions, which
required the continual vigilance of ‘jov -rn
raent and on which it was the undoubted
duty of the adminiitration, to give l'ome
public information. Yet all that we have
been able to hear from the man of the
people is, that he has quietly retired to hif
mountain where he remains as fnug, and as
unconcerned, and as filent as though he had
nothing to do but to receive his live and
twenty thoufanu dollars a vear ; unlefs in
deed, when he gets a letter from captain
Lewis, with a prefent of prairie dogs or
magpies *, then the official paper is fet to
work, and the public are called to admire
the wonders of Louifiana. But while no
thing m*re interfiling occurs than the bloc
kade of two or three of our ports ; or the
failure of a negotiation fet on foot for the
recovery of property of which our citizens
have been plundered ; or for fettiing our
title to a diilrifl of country fol which we
have paid fifteen millions of dollars j or an
allcdged order to l'eize and con fife ate our
property according to the law cf nations;
the intelligence is left to find its way to
thole concerned through nevvfpapcrs, ex
tracts cf letters, and uncertain rumours.
Our merchants have recently been f rely
emharrafled by a new and, as h* s been iup
; poled, illegal rcitiiftions upon their com
merce. In luch cales’they wilh to confult the
government, in the firtl p'ace to know, of
ficially, the real (late of facts ; and in the
fecond, to be informed whether any or what
Heps will be taken for their prote&ion.
Upon inquiring where fuch applications are
to bemade, they learn that it is convenient
to the pub ic officers, in jummer^ to have
any government. It is true there is a pre
fident fome wherein the mountains of Vir
ginia ; a l'ecretary of Hate in Philadelphia ;
a ftcretary of the treafury in the wellern
parts of P nfvlvania, &c. &c. But in or
der to do bulinefs it is ructfTuy that tbefe
officers fliould confult together ; that there
ffiould be an interchange of the informa
tion which may be lodged in the refpe&ive
uepartmenrs, as wt 11 as an interchange of
fentiments and opinions refulting from that
information. Every one mult perceive that
nothing of this kind could take place in the
prefent difperlcd condition of the adminis
tration. 1 he i nly advantage therefore*
which fve the pro' (< can derive from having
a government during the fummer months if
th t we have an t pportunity of fending ap
plications to th Cify of Wafhington where*
no doubt, they will fafdy rcpofii until it ma^
pleafe the adminiftration to return there
to fpend the winter, and receive their fait*
tthtiad tap.
The pnvcrfui MAGIC of tie n:?rd
ECONOMY.
If we {hew that our nation is treated
with difrefpett, fcorn, and infult ; th?t the
American commerce has became a prey to
every pirate ot freebooter ; that our fea
port towns and harbours are blockaded >
that our feamen are imprefled, fl »gged, and
impnfoned ; that the cowardly .Spaniards,
as well as the Englifh and French, infult
our flag, capture our vefftls, and cuff and
kick the American Tailors without any teem
ing apprehenfion of confluences. If we
view that thefe things are, and that they
! are becoming ever* day more and more in
I tolerable—the confoling reply is* that the
| internal duties are «.boli(hed, that there is
; no land tax, no cxpcniive navy ; that The
: public debt is diminittiing, See. 6cc. This
ftfeinating lullaby quiets the public mind.
If we (hew that the conftitution of the gen
eral government has been rent and man
gled to anfwer party purpofes * that Vie*
ginia governs the iJnton * that the influ
ence of Newcngland is reducing to a cy
pher—If we prove ail this, the magic force
of the word tconotny mere than counteracts
the whole. The t demagogues of the day
have much reafort to fay with Peter Pindar,
“ Economy is a very uftfjl b* For with
this broom they fweep aw2y the cogent ar
guments of their opponents as eafily as
if they were cobwebs. Hart/ pap.
Ltuifiand.—The fait mountain, the value
of which our democrats had calculated to
exceed fome thousands of times, the pticc
to be paid for Louifiania, has already difap
peared, and another more ferious evil now
is threatened. It appears by the following
extra£t, that a certain gentleman is author
ised to fell lands within th« territory claim
ed by rhe Empercur of Louifiana, the pro
ceeds to be the property of the King of
Spain. Who would not admire the wife ar
rangements of Mr. Jefterfon and his friend2,
when on the fame ground, we are “ erect
ing ports of entry” and a Spamfh Agent if
felling the toll, for “ the King his matter.”
