NEW-YORK, MAY 27, 1789
A Correspondent observes, that the dispatch and harmony, with which the national representatives adopted the outlines of principles, for regulating the great executive departments, is a favourable presage, not only of wisdom and unanimity in that House, but also of energy and success in the general administration of the government.—For it can hardly be doubted, that when there is a Union of sentiment among so many enlightened and virtuous statesmen, that the measures adopted, will in all respects be calculated to answer the end proposed. The more we consider that part of the resolution, that gives the President of the United States the sole power of removing officers, without the process of impeachment, the more reason have we to anticipate advantage from its operation; for setting aside all expectations from the talents and virtues of the present supreme magistrate, there is in the natural reason of things, a preference in favour of that mode of removal.
Another Correspondent observes, that the publication of the debates of Congress, has already begun to diffuse national ideas; and that while it familiarizes the minds of the people to the new system of government, it gradually disseminates principles of legislative wisdom and integrity. Great advantages will be derived from having it in the power of the rising patriots, and legislators of our country, to take up a system of practical legislation from the beginning, and observe the regular gradations of a young nation growing into opulence, contentment and power.
