Now turn your face to the picture of the IVAif

ney upon the honor and credit of the ciajntry tho
expense of the Government increased in one year
10 over four millions of dollars, and titles-and
proposed public debt together, of ninety-eight mil
lions of dollar. As a Republican, proud of tny
country, I look upon ihis picture, more in sorrow
than in anger.
In summing up millions upon millions of Whig
extravagance, I cannot condescend to notice such
aims' as $8,000 to enhance) the gnrgemwieiw of
the President' house, called by the Whig in
1940, the palace of Royal magnificence nor,'
the sum of nearly half a million of dollars ftr the
expends of the usnlesa Extra Session nor, the
sum of $23,000 paid to Mrs. Harrison these, 1
agree", ttji contemptible.sums ina long catalogvt I
of millions. It were ridiculous to complain of a
sting of a viper, hen a Giant is etfangled by the
folds of the Anaconda I i do quarrel, howevej,
with the principle of the appropriation to the
widow of the I' resident because it i the com
mencement of the horrible policy of cieil pensions.
Jeffi'rKa died poor and Monroe died poor, both, I
believe, -insolvent, and no pension was given by Con
gress' to their families. ' No men deserved it more, "
because they were among the fathers and founders
of the Republic. Make a beginning and where will
you end I Ymi must extend it to Judges, Govern
ors, Semifnr Members of Congress, Secretaries,
Minister, &c until it may amount to a standing
arrnvof Aorre leeches sticking this bi.ood of tub
Pkoplk. The policy of ciml pensions, is the ttrv -

essence of the British monarchy which is sup
ported by giving the lands ta the oldest on, and
taxing the bread of the laborer to enhance his
profits, and ferOinoting to office ine)'otingci. son
