.V' ji.Ki'.r. . n| Mr. .>lonn>e, u hen
From tliia view Mr. B. said the increase
of ex^nditurc would appear not quite s9
frightful as this report would represent.
For the first year of the term, the increase
w as about a million and a half; for the next
five years there was no increase of any nio«
meni, and twice there was a dimioution
1 he years 1632 and 1833 had run up to
large amounts, and that by the means which
he had shown ; so that if the author of ihd
report had taken for the basis of his com
parison the seven joars of regular expendi>
lure, he would have found an increase of a*
Ik>uI two niilliotm only, instead of a duplira*
lion of eleven millions; a result which, while
It would have presented eomething for re-
formation, would have presented nothing for
revolution, or even for turning r»ut the par-
t_\ in power, and pulling in their opponenlPt
who are the real authors of every thiiiT
which r('«|uires reform.
Having xhown the fallacy of the report
in its exhibit of the extravagance of tho
government, having shuwn its enormous
error in stating that this great increase
had taken place during a period of prolriund
|x;ace, when in fact there was an Indian war
on the I pper Missitisippi! and when not an
event occurred to warrant unus^ual expendi
ture, when in fact a^ven millions of the ex-
pen^iUires were for ohjp«’ts, not only unus
ual, but neverexisting b'tbre orsince ! Mr.
B. would say a word, and but a word, up
on it» correlative part, the increase of j»*t-
sons paid h\ the Government or fed by it*?
bounty. In l‘'2o, the whole numbt^r waq
55,777 ; in 1^33, 100,073. This said Mr.
B. is almosi double; but how did it happen ;
«hy Irom carrvmg the pt-nsioners up from
ab.iut 17,000, to about 40.000! adding mul
titudes ior lijternal improvement, and the
I'ustom houses, in con-*equeiice of the two
tariHs ot 1824 and 1S2S ; requiring many
(>erj»ons to superintend the removal of In
dians; many to survey and sell the newlv
acquired lands; and a whole regiment of
draycMMis tor the delence of the western
items, and olhert*, the
increased numbers will be
'f them necessarv and in-
of the dragoons; some
iiifKjraiy, as those tor re
nd Internal lm|irove-
though the expediency
questionable, ;is those for carry-
complex provisions of
j; some atottzina, and al-
the increase of pension
ers, tho bjire statement of whose numbers
announces a fraud of slu|)endou8 maguitiide,
and implies a demorahz.ition of public luor-
als, of frightful enornniv.
'I'he dis^Uiissions from office next engaged
Mr. H’s attention. '1 he aflicted modera
tion of laniiiiiige under which ihis topic was
brought forward in the repor', and the vio
lence wiiu wiiiciiit concluded, were par
ticularly point! d out. Keinnrks ofa party
character were disclaimed,and the disclaim
er was instantly followed bv a series of the
iilil i mos; violent and I'tl'ensive remarks ofa par-
veius.f Here is the lailae\, here is ihe ly cbbracl‘‘r. The present administration
delusion ; and hence the injustico 01 basing was charged vMth having reduced to a sys«
some years ago, and now delivered it to
those to whom a commission had awarded
it. Then there were extraordinary Indian
treaties that year for Ihe purchase of land,
for which S(3.5,000 were paiii, and remov
al ol Indians, and subsisting them after they
got to their new homes, tho sum of 636^,-
000. Hilt the greatest extraordinary ()ay.
ment of the whole year was that of revo-
liilionary pensions, under the fatal act of
H3 '. I’hat act originated in CongreM,
J and carried its loose and w ild provisions to
a great source of take efleet from the 4th of March, 1831.
