*29 Bt cause it votes for every expenditure, and
the hii^hesi amount, loi eveiy ot.j* cl, wneihei naiion
al or local, public or private, ineniorious or other
wise.
30 Because, during the fir.st year il held powei
m bttih bianchts ol Congtess, it swelled the expen
dilutes lo ovei hve millions of dullais higher than
iht 1 stytai ot Ali. Van Bui t n’s administration.
31 B'cause m iht same pe riod, it augmented the
public dt ot tiom about five rniliious to over twenty
SIX millions ot dollais.

34. Because il sidl uiges, through its late con^
veiiiior: al Baltimore, the corrupt and corrupting dis
tribution ot the proctds of the public lands, in con-
lo miiy with the gtntitneni of its leader—••give us
patronage and we will gain power.”
levoluiion in our republican tornis, heap unbearable
buide-ns upon the people, and makt»-lhe million tri
butary to ihe privileged and favored thousand.
38. B* cause, by the showing of federalists ihem-
'tlv-> fhtt party has presented a candidal#* lo the
j;et>ple from ihb “ aiisiocraiic portion” of the parly.
39 B»'cause that paaty is now led on by the bit
terest i^vilers of the venerable Jackson, the benefac
tor of his country, who have, nntil forced to act by
the almost unanimous expression of the American
people, refused 10 refund the fine unjustly imposed
upon the old hero after the successful defence of
New Orleans.
40. Bfc.tusp thal party, distinguished in all tiniie
past tor its British sympathies, w’ill doubtless com
promise our right to CVegnn, if British rapacity re-
quiie the sacrifict* to be made.
41. Because the adheranls of that party, in all
the State legislatures where the people have enlTasl-
ed ihem with power, have given loose reins to pro
fligate Icgislalion ; contracted enormous debts, with
out providing means to pay interest; and thereby
made the faith of American Slates a by word ar:J
a reproach the world oyer.
42 Because, in these logislatures, they have leg*
islated in most cases exclusively for the “ higher or
ders” of society, by granting privileges to associat
ed wealth, creating a multitade of corporations,and
bestowing legislative bounties on particular ciasse?.
43. Because they, in like manner, have created
a large number of new offices lo rewaid favorite?,
and pay for the services of their suple instrument?.
44 Because, in the discharge of delegated dulie?,
they hav^* uniformly disregarded the limits of tho
consiiiulion. made their own discretion the sole lim
its to their au'horiiy, and violated and contemncd
the instructions of the constilutnl body.
45 Btc use they have disregarded the rights of
property, by creating the necessity for irixes whicii
they dare not lay, but which they havo thrown up
on their successor.®.
46. Because they constantly violate the salutary
maxim, that “tuxation and representation should go
together,” by heaping opon prosperity enormous
paraliging burdens, which they cannot escapo, ex
cept. by revolution or repudiation.
47. The democratic party ought to succeed, Lc-
fause if the policy of its foes prevail there will be
no bounds to the extravagance of the Government,
which w'ill be followed by accumalated taxes, dircct
and indirect; the injustice ot which will bring th©
Government into eisrepuie, and finally tend to drive

The Atmospheric Railway—The New York
Sun has ser n a letter dated London, May 18, 1844,
civmsr some interesting statistictics of the Atmos
pheric Railway “A detailed staument is given
to ‘ihow the wot king cost of the Atmospheric Rail
way, compared with the ordinary Railroad, from
which il appears that the entire cost of propelling
a train on the former is five pence-half penny ster-
ling per mile, while on the latter it is 15d. sterling
per mile This calculation embraces the cost of
constructing the roads, interest on capital, expenses
of wot king, wear and tear of machinery, &c. But
there is one fact yet more sfartlinfj; the rate of speed
obtained on the ordinary or * slow ’ railway, at a
fifteen peence per mile, is twenty five miles per hour,
while the rate obtained on the atmospheric railway,
at a cost of five pence-half penny per mile, \s fifty
miles per hour I This is a truly wonderful jump
m the aits if il proves successful, il gives double
the velocity at one third the cost The ,*'ubjecl ia
now under inv siigation by a committee in the
House of Comnpons. on granting a charter by Par
