Zlf the friendswho stood by him in the removal of the rleposites could have been bought by 'bank accommodations and gratuities, do you think that step would ever have been taken! If mercenary considerations could reach the present Administration, do you helieve we should ever hear of an Inde pendent Treasury l The means of corro p iiuzr, the disposit on to corrupt, 'and the as tua'l corruption, are all on the other side. Signal instances l ave beencxhibited to the community, and the recipients of the vile bribes are the luu est in charging the Ad ministration with corruptinn!
