American Friend, November 17, 1820
Sundry newspapers at the South are calling for the removal of the Post Master General, R. J. Meigs, Jun. He is represented as having been absent at Ohio for several months, and the Pittsburg Intelligencer remarks that no man should be allowed to hold an office under Government, who for a week or a single day, should neglect personally to attend to the duties of his station. We want no such gentlemen officers, who can pass away their months at the watering places, while the public business is suffering for want of their attention. We can tolerate no sinecures - their very nature is at war with the spirit of our constitution. - Adams Centinel.
