POLITICAL.

Wm.

Barry, Esq.

Post-master General.'

Sir: In a republic, where sovereignty resides in the people, the highest ofJ*r:6T is accountable to each and all, for the exercise of the power with which he is entrusted.

While 1 am willinglo concede that the acts of the officers of government should be cauvasecd in a spirit of liberality Sr candourit is at the same time the duty of every citizen to guard against the spirit of encroachment, and to hring to the harof public opinion the unfaithful agent who perverts to purposes of oppression, the patronage and power committed to him as a trust. This consideration would afford a sufficient reason for my addressing you, through the medium of the public press. But another, more imperative, impels rne to this course, In the exercise of the power with which you are invested, I hrve been removed from an ollice held impliedly by the tenure of good behaviour. After having faithfully devoted the prime and vigor of my days to the

pn 1.1,0 service, I amnncxpectedly am- |,apa.

polled to look to a different pursuit, for: resisted. the support of anuroerousfamily dopen-

dent on my efforts: while not a single that

allegation can, with truth, be made a-|

gainst me, either of ofhcuit mixrunduct,

wronged you and when I asked from your courtesy, the gruimds of my removal, as tiic means of averting the suggestions of male volence, my application has been treated will, cold indifference or contemptuous neglect. Hut although it appears to be the prevailing policy to cast injurious imputations upon those who are removed from office, and although you, sir may possibly desire to defer or elude responsibility, by withholding information which the public have aright to demand, it shall be my

effort

I'pon your arrival at -the seat of government you found me occupying ti situation of chief ^erk of the department over which you had been called to preside. To that post 1 had been promoted by governor Meigs, and had been continued through the whole of the administration of your able predecessor, Judge M'Lean. Having risen from subordinate stations in the department, 1 valued this unsolicited appointment, not

ter,

or of inability to discharge the appropriate duties of my station, 1 hav«- beeu ejected from a place into which 1 was invited, without solicitation, by one of yuur predecessors I have been ejected, too, in a way which appeared to be tisin^- on his official associates, idesigned to affect my character, reptitahle aets of insincerity snd «!o strty my usefulness, and wantonly 'a~ cepiion. 'Nor could I suppose ti ft cerate the feelings of those who ne'ver ti*iii(£ could be

the measures which hare been adopted, in relation to myself leaving other* to jtljlge, from this single instance, of ti tnature and tendency of that system of yrvscrifttioa which has been recently introduced—a system which regards auu treats a difference uf oyinion as a crime, and punishes innocence summarily icithuut even the form of trial.

much on account of its in

creased emolument*, as for the indications it atlbrded, that Tiy humble efforts in the public service had gained the approbation of hnunruble men. In you, sir, I was willing to meet a gentleman, entitled to respect by your otlicial station, disposed to look with a favorable eye on meritorious conduct, and incapable of acting oppressively towads those whom providence had placed under your official control these farorable anticipations appeared to be justified by your language and deportment. When 1 informed you of the protracted illness of a gentleman of the department, whose diminished income scarcely sutficed for the wants of nature, you caused a provision to be made which softened the pressure of disease, and reanimated the hopes of a desponding family when apprised of the situation of another, whose excited apjrchcnsion for the loss of bis office under the system of "reform," had produced a mcntnt dera.'trrvtrnt, (which resulted in his death, you evinced, apparently^ the keenest sensibility for the unhappy suiterer. and raised the hope in many a palpitating bosom, that you came as a benefactor, and not as a scourge. In addition to these acts of domestic kindness, you authorised me to inform a distant friend and postmas

who experienced the common apprehension of being removed from office, "that, on political grounds, except he had in some way abused the trust ol his office, he had nothing to fear." While your language thus tended to raise my esteem, jour deportment was calculated to remove apprehension. It is not my disposition to distrust the indications of sincerity and candor, and while you, sir, professed an abhorrence of the principle of fxtlitical proscription,

yielded my

confidence to your repeated declarations, and congratulated my friends and country that there was one department, at least, which would be administered according to the spirit of the constitution. It is true that before many weeks of your administration had elapsed, I find remarked, with fearful forebodings, the numerous applications for the removal of old, experienced, and faithful officers—that those applications had sometimes met with a favorable reception and that measures appeared to he in progress to convert the post-office department into a vast and dangerous machine, by which £be H^itone&ts oi individuals could $1.

all times be ascertained, and an influence exerted inconsistent with t! rights of individuals and tne safety and welfare of the country: and dve :«w, sir, the proud satisfaction of looking back to that period, and reflecting that I was then faithful to you and n.y country, fori warned you against n,akin£ the told experiment which you avc since made, and which is still in successful progress, of prostituting tk» department to party purposes* hst agency that honest advice might uve had in my removal, is knotvn to you a+ lone. Still sir, I was disposed to attribute these measures to an iufluonci* above your cont rol, and to impute the ap parent inconsistency between yonr professions aud conduct, more to the necessity produced by a dependence upon others, than to a voluntary adaption of principles you had so uneqtim .!ly disapproved.

hope you will pardon me for trespassing a few minutes on your time, w! list submit to you the following facts and considerations: 1 waB appointed a clerk in this department by Mr. (Jranger, scn:eil':ng^ more thahW years ago, without knowing even until this day to whose kindness was indebted for that evidence of his confidence. HiB successor, ov. Meigs, found me at a low but improved salary,which was increased from time to time, as passed through various grades of service, up to principal bock keeper- and then (something more than ten

ago] un a vacancy occurring,
