Riassunto

Excerpt from The Coast Survey: Reply to the Official Defence of Its Cost, Abuses and Power

Whenever a defence of the present arrangement of the coast survey appears, which is made up of nauseating commendation of the head of that establishment, and indisa criminate abuse of all Who believe that his peer may be found among living men, and especially among the officers of our army and navy 5 in Which feigned issues are met and real ones avoided, and the whole resting upon no founda tion but studied and extended falsification and forgery of an antagonist's statements; dullness itself will not be at fault in determining its authorship. The official reply to the observations of B. Signed Public Documents, and printed in your issue of loth ult., so far transcends, in such particulars, all former efforts from that quarter to mys tify and pervert the truth, that one might well claim to be excused from answering it at all. Still, in view of its by authority character, and because the document tampered with, happens to be not of the sort Which will subject the falsifier of it to indictment by a grand jury, the point of exemption will not be pressed. It seems proper to use this occasion, for the further purpose of apprising the Treasury Department, that this vile imposture is circulated under the frank of the Coast Survey, and, in one instance at least.
