LIST OF OFFICES

Of the General Government, established at Washington City.

The President of the United States, Martin Van Buren, of New York, resides most part of the year in an elegant house provided at the expense of the general government, lying nearly equally distant between Georgetown and the capitol, where he receives all foreign ministers, holds cabinet councils, transacts all public business, and, during the winter, frequently entertains members of congress, strangers, and citizens.

The president is, by the constitution, made commander in chief of the army and navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the service of the United States. He grants commissions to all offices of the United Štates; and reprieves and pardons, except in cases of impeachment. His duty is to see that the laws are all executed according to law; and he is also vested, ex-officio, with the superintendence of all the public property in the city of Washington. His salary is twenty-five thousand dollars per annum. He is elected by electors, chosen as the legislatures of the different states may provide; their number is equal to that of the senators and congressmen sent by each state.

Any person having business to do with the president, and for that purpose coming to Washington, generally waits on him, personally, in the morning, after breakfast. A decent respectable appearance, are all the requisites necessary for an introduction.

The Vice-president of the United States, Richard M. Johnson, of Kentucky, is ex-officio president of the senate, and one of the commissioners of the Sinking-Fund. He is not a member of the cabinet council. He seldom resides in the city of Washington, except during the session of congress. He receives five thousand dollars per annum salary.

He attends to all national business respecting commerce, and the fulfilment and distribution of the laws; has charge of the public archives; makes out commissions for all national agents at home and abroad; has the control of the patent-office; and issues copyrights for books, and preserves the copies deposited in the Library of the Department.
