In consequence, the house of represe'n tatiyes,directed their clerk to receive proposals and contract with the lowest bidder, for supplies of stationary and the execution ofthe printing order ed by the house. An important saving was thus effected. But the senate still retained and do re tain the old practice ; and usually paid from 60 to 80 per cent." for their printing, more than was given by the contract, under the direction ofthe other branch. To omit nothing, however, it must be added, that inthe last contract, two of the printers, ascertaining that they were the only competitors," concluded to unite, and advance their charges., In this they succeeded, and now receive nearly the prices demanded by Mr Duane; but a new contract is to succeed in the spring, and it is scarcely possible that an instance of the kind mentioned will ever again occur. - 1 he printing ot the laws of congress, was not :luded in the contract.

National IntelliKencer. The different ments, likewise give their printing out indiscrim inately;, to those by whom it can be be best done. Still, even in the old system pursued by congress, there was no such officer as public printer, nor any such thing as a fixed salary. As part of the con. tingent expenditure, the printing was placed on a footing with the supplies of fuel, 8cc. Any one can satisfy himself, on enquiry, of the truth of these facts ; and they go to shew, that congress have always thought it improper and im politic tp elect a public printer. They likewise e vidence, that at least one branch of the legislature find it unwise even to permit their clerk to select a particular favoi itej but believe, it prudent and fair to receive the benefits, and extend the . jadvan tages, derived from competition. 'A article in the last Register, dolefully laments The desertion of some political friends To the edi tors, on the late question respecting" the public printing". That the editors shoi ldfeel mortified, as they say, is nothing wonderful. It is the lot of mortality. Those who are loved, are frequent ly chastened. For-otherwise, they might forget, irt a political as well as moral point ot view, the authors of their existence and greatness.. How would it look, ask the editors, to behold the State Gazette of rcfiublican North Carolina, a warmly federal paper ? Why truely we think it would look a little like something not much in the possession of these gentlemen it would look like? dignified liber do mrt admire this answer to theirquestion, -.-it would have some what the appearance of a determination in the legislature, to rid .the commonwealth of a dead weight, which like the bid man of Sinbad the -Saw lor, would hang round its neck till it is strangled Twd'passagts of our late prospectus are" ex tracted and presented to the readers of the.Regis ter, as containing ample proof of our being warm, ly federal. The editors might have had this very fact avowed in plain terms. XVe prfess ourselves w.rmlv 'federal : but perhaps it best suited their system, rather to Jake a, round about than a straight forward course Are these gentlemen really offended that we should wish to assist in re moving the shame and misery which have fallen upon our country ? Now, we think this a laudable undertiking, no matter from what quarter these evils might come, nor under what administration they may have occurred? And will not the edi tors suffer us", unmolested, to contribute the little in Our power, to remove public grievances and hu. milifltiom t are they determined that wehall sue cessfiilly ofifiose thkih effohts in nothinj? ,! , The nassacts alluded to had been previously rpait and commented on, as will be seen ori refer ring to , the remarks of General Welborn, . by a member of-the Senate But as he flid.not point out in the sentences,; any thing reprehensible, we have merely to return him our thanks for reading them to that respectable body.
