body to divert the public resentment from themselves by a ready
sacrifice of the authors of their mismanagement and disgrace.

FEDERALIST No. 67
The Executive Department
From the New York Packet.
Tuesday, March 11, 1788.

claims next our attention.

with greater difficulty in the arrangement of it than this; and there
is, perhaps, none which has been inveighed against with less candor or
criticised with less judgment.
