It is particularly worthy of notice; (says a correspondent) that no denial has ever appeared of the direct and multiplied assertions, that the members of the general government have carried on jobs and speculations in their own measures, even whilst those measures were depending.
If these charges be true, can any thing be more disgraceful to the councils of a free country, or more loudly call for the indignation of a virtuous people? If they are not true, why are they not denied, and, as far as the case will admit, disproved by appealing to circumstances which can be investigated? Instead of being denied, however, the public has been insulted with attempts to slur the matter over by mysterious and unmeaning paragraphs, the low virulence of personal abuse, or, what is worse, by suggestions that those who warn the people against speculating and stock-jobbing corruptions in the government, are enemies to the government and to the people themselves.
