The Locofocos, remembering what " &
tremendous influence was brought to bear
sgainstthem by tho exhibitions of their
profligacy and extravagance, are'now en.
dcavoring to turn some of the cannon, with
which we destroyed them, on us. In this,
however, they fail most signally. Facts
disprove their statements. The Whigs
show conclusively that, since Locofoco

legislative halls of the nation, tho expenses
of the Government have decreased suffi.
cicnliy to prove that tbeir predecessors wero
not boncst. This fact is conclusive on this
head, and we cannot but wonder at the egro.

man who will dare to assail the Whig party
not only where the are encased in mail,
but where they are absolutely invulnerable.
Tho man who knows better, yet whoso un
scrupulousness and malignity are sufficient
to admit of his making lying assertions,
pays a very poor compliment to the intelli
gence of thoso with whom he Is in commu
nicalion; and tho ignoramous who follows
the example of the knave may possibly find
fludiome apology for his conduct in his
excessive ignorance, but' that ignorance,
cannot shield him from the scorn his foot
hardiness challenges. We never hear a
man charge tho Whigs with falsification of
their promises, without experiencing inex
pressible loathing for his villainy,yer utter
scorn for his uopardonablo ignorance.
The amount of money appropriated for
the support of the Government, during the
Administration of Mr. Van Buren, was
1133,347,000, making an average of over
933,330,000 per annum. Now Ictus com.
pare these enormous appropriations, with
those of the Whig Congress at its late ses
sion. Tho total amount of appropriations,
at theJate session, was 924,499,000 ; and
this sum is not to be expended during tho
present year, but is to cover expenditures
for various services until the 1st of July,
1814 a period of eighteen months. From
this it appears that the appropriations voted
by the late Whig Congress, for the present
year, do not greatly exceed one-half the
average annual expenditures of the Govern,
mcoiunderthe Van Bured Administration!
These statements we have made out from
public documents, and they are therefore
true. 1 ho Whigs have redeemed their pro'
miscs of retrenching the expenditures of the
Government. This was ono of their pro
mises, and they would have fulfilled all oth
crs but for tho vile troachery which defeat,
cd some of their most beneficial nurooscs.
Our party came into power pledged to the
people to retrench the expenses of the Go
vernment, to reform abuses of various kinds
which had sprung into existence durinir the
proceeding twelve years of Locofoco mis
rule, and to establish a National currency

The period of erht revolutions makes

for the number of times the Comet baa been

we would only remark in reply, that the
same question would apply with much more
force to the two comets ot short period, or
Encke and" Gambart. Encke's comet was
observed in 1780 and 1795 by all the astro.
nomers of buropo, and its parabolic ele
ments computed by dozens of them without
suspecting their identity. If these conclu.
sions are right, the great comet of 1843
may perhaps return some time near new
year-of 1865, under more favorable cir.
cumstanccs than in February last. After
that date, its return for several periods
would bo under moro unfavorable circum
stances till the completion of tho cycle of
eight revolutions, abo'it tho year 2018..
