We trust the early and earnest attention Of
Congress will be tarned to the shameful prohigacy
now displayed by the Federal Executive in the
substituting Of the Public Press in this City and
elsewhere. Here, three or four dailies Of the
or two that haze some circulation, are constantly
filled with Government Advertisements many OF
which ought not TO be published here at all, and
the rest ought to be published where somebody
will be likely to see them. Thousands of dollars
Of the Peoples money have already been squan-
dered in advertising Public Land Sales, &C.. in
papers like the Standard Union, and Morning
Post, which money, for all public purposes, might
just as well have been thrown in the fire. Then
the Lists of Letters, which ought 10 be published
only in papers having the largest circulation, are
put in one paper which has circulation, and then
shuffed round between three or four others which
are of no possible account All this costs money,
which is wantonly wrested from the People to keep


the breath of lie in three or four journals which
could not possibly subsist on all the patronage le
ultimately afforded them. Before the next Eec.
ion shall have these same papers parading a
statement Of The Public Expenditures as an evi-
dence of " Wig Ertrnuagance," after they
themselves shall have received portion of these
Expenditures from treacherous Executive to
sustain them in preaching Loco Focoism And
Ill the while that he is thus cheating, he is still
more signally cheated. He thinks he is buying
hem; they know it is lie that he is sold VIII
not Congress put stop to this dlsgraceful profit
gacy?
