PUBLIC EXPENDITURES VAN BUREN ECONOMY AND DE-
You will remember. Fellow . Citizen, that one of the strongest grounds
of opposition to ths Administration of the younger Adams, was his alleged
extravagance. Many oi yon, no uouoi very property , joineu in we err ei
retrenchment and economy" which wa thet rung throughout the land.
Mr. Adams wu charged with a desire 'to introduce Into this Country the
royal splendoor of European Courts and tho-People, by their decision in
4be contest between him and General Jackson, tAen eoasidered that siropli
eity and conomy best became a RepobJhy Is this thedottrine-of the Faf
tv new in power? True, it may be their proficssion, but it if not their
rRACTicE. What then are the facts? Air. Van Iiuren has been in office a
Utile more than three Tears, and has expended, during mat period, upwards
of ONE HUNDRED & TIIIKTEI&N MluJOKS Or DOLLARS-
Hiking an averapc of about THlKTjf SEVEN MILLIONS SIX HUN
DRED AND SIXTY-SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS PER ANNUM!
When he came into power, the Country was free from deb, and in spile
of the immen.-e revenue which is annually collected, he has contrived to fix
Bitten was Inaugurated, he would have brought the Nation in debt
32.300,000 or in oiher words, he has actually expended over and above
the accruing revrnvr, the sum of 87,300,000, besides contracting a loan by
the issue of Treasury notes, of $5,000,000 more! At this rate, should he
be re-elected, on the 4th of March, 1845, the American People will have
on their shoulders a national debt of upwards of forty five millions'
Hut sav the friends of the Administration, this' immense sum which has
been spent by the Government during the last three years, embraces the "ex-
itiiordmary" expenditures! Admit all this, and what does it avail litem r
rfhese are ths very expenses which we have complained of as constituting
Is VvQvazanct of those in power. Bullet us leave out these "extraor-
Unary" fcspenecs, and see how the case stands.
From a table (Appendix D.) contained in a Report submitted to
she Senate on the 7tli ot May last, by Mr. vvooaDury, we nnu tnnt
she permanent and ordinary expenses of Mr. Van Bureti's Adminis

upwards: nearly double those of the Administration oi John U..

irumary annual expenses ol the uovernment, martin V an iiuren, tne
telusive dtmoctatmmi have THIRTEEN MILLIONS! This
s economy with a vengeance! And let every Citizen of the State
wnember, that these faefs are taken from the table of expenses which
published in the much landed speech of Mr. Retifon, to which the
'Van Bnren Central Committee," in their late address, called our par
icular attention! But now let us enquire what disposition has been
nade of this immense amount of money which has been extracted
ram the pockets of the American People, and we think there is not
in honest farmer in the whole State, who, after a full and impartial
urvey of all the facts, will not be forced to the conclusion that this
i one of the most corrupt Administrations ever in power! In the
irst place, a large amount of these extraordinary expenses has
;one into the pockets ot the Sub-Treasury defaulters. The defal
ation of Swartwout amounted to $1,223,705; and it is a notorious
net, that he commenced as early as the year 1830 to pilfer the Trea
:iry; that his increasing defalcation was concealed; and that during
t part of the time, he was permitted to collect millions of the public
niney, without giving the bonds required by law! What would you
4y.of.fom, Justices,, who should neglect- 4o take' bonds- "from ywn
Sberilfs, by which the State and County revenue might ba lost?
Mould they not be indicted? Must not every man say, that Admin
istration is corrupt, which allows a defaulter (we refer to Boyd to re-
inain in office alter pocketing aU,yd7 because "he raa tteii Jnll,
pud could lake no more?' Many such instances of fraud and cor-
nplinti have lieen detected. The whole amount of defalcations

The Carpets for the Presidents's house, purchased since Mr. Van
Buren came into office, cost the Government the sum $8,499 69 1 !
From the vouchers filed in the Public Offices, the President even
charges the hauling his manure for his garden, and washing his
towels to the People! Let it be observed also, that one of the
worst features connected witb. this system of extra vngance, is this:
that the subordinate officers of the Government feel themselves at
liberty to follow the example of the President. To prove which, let
us come near home and witness the superintendent of the Branch
Mint at Charlotte expending $218 25 cts. of the Public Money,' for
trees and flowers to ornament1 the grounds about the Mint; giv
ing $50 for 50 horse chesnnl trees, though they were as numerous
in lh adjoining country as the - oak or pine! " (See Appendix E)
What do the pi am farmers think of the superintendent's purchasing
with the public funds, oner Inkstand at $S 75 ! And $6 25 for 10
Mom's Multicaulis trees! No wonder our revenue is squandered
that there are so many extraordinary" expenses- when every Offi
cer in the Government, from the. Chief Magistrate to. the lowest party
ncnial, feels himself perfectly at liberty to'buv any thing which Ht
nay think proper with tho public monies ! Can the labouring peo
