EXPENSES OF THE GOVERNMENT &c You may remember, Fellow Citizens, bow much wrt sard a Tew years since aboot Itibe ex- trivagance of Jon Qumcy Jldams Admin is I i ration; The expenditures amounted to 3 mil Irons a year, a sow rather greater than f those of preceding Administration, and calculated to I'excjte oof apprehension, that- the Government ' might become wasteful Mr. Van Bursa and ;. his friends were especially active and jvehe- rrient in making the charge ot extravagance.--j Since be came into power bow hare these pro I (Vssions been realized ? The ; expenses jof bis t first year, 1837, are officially stated ioj have sen thirty nine millions one hundred and sixty i foor thousand dollars to round numbers. Fur Ihe year 18$$; they amounted to forty-millions i ftHir hundred and twentv-seven thousand dol- j1arV The appropriations for the present y ear J are slated to be twenty-six millions eight hun dred and sixty-two thousand dollars. Daring line nrst two years or Ml Van 11 a i en's admin isiraiion,he had large majorities of his j sap porters in both houses of Congress, and the ex- : pnes,are f.r ttat period three' times is jgreat kas; they, were onder Adams' adminiatmiun. Bat st the Isst session the Whigs and Conser vatives obtained the majority in the loupe of - RepreHentatiVeS) and though the President de- .DianJed large appropriations, yet mainly hhjfougb the instrumentality ot : those friends or Economy r and lie form, the expenditures were cot down to . fourteen millions less than they were last ivear. i i We still think, however, that there might be i a luucu greaierreuucuou wimooi neglecting a : tyj the preat duties; of the Government At the time of the election of the present! in cum r bVit, there was a large surplus in the.Tfeapary This sum, partly by bad-financial measures, and j partly by extravagance, was soon exhausted. v r and the Administration was obliged toissoein ; alii twenty millions of Treasury notes-ith! isf tli Gofernment executed notes payable at' a fu- tjre day, but bearing interest, which notiesjiwere either paid in lieu of money to the public credit or, or sold in market to the highest bidder. Fujr the redemption of these notes as ijiej be come doe, the people of the ' United States are boijnd, and it is in fact nothing moreUhan a borrowing of money on the part of the ydfcern ineht, though ibey had. not the manliness to call it liy its proper name. tWe hate not time. ho w- vvrir, gentlemen, to go into details upon; this head,. bat the facts will speak (or themselves. DEFALCATIONS AND CORRUPTION ; 1 for he has his hands foil now, and will not be disposed to -peculate any more." i All rbese things, gentlemen, are sober facts: there can be no mistake aboat it. They bare been .laid bare by the report of the Investigating Committee, at j the! last; session 1 of Congress. The opposition to the. abuses of the administra tloo, had for the first time m several years, a small majority in one house,and iheseireome ot tbe rruits. Yet in defiance of the wtsties or the people, Mr. Woodbury who knew and coo nived at, and concealed these things, is still kept in office by the. President Whether it be be cause, as in the case of Harris, j be is " one of me roam puiars oi ipe Auminisirauoo' auo oas extremely inflaeOtial : connections' in New m1.SA all nil ntMm mw tvn A amur fm IN OFFICE.! Ine of the most remarkable thinrra in the re- renl course of public affairs in the fast number jof defalcations among- receivers of the public money which are daily coming to light. Some iojf Uese begun under the late administration, .and have been continued under tbe present; though they seem chiefly to have occurred since . 'Mr VanJBuren comejnto power. But it! is said by way of defence, that there were dishonest l rp':H o5cersha 'robbed the public under all Adjoin---5 rationsst Thisis true to some extent; but it ; appears irom tne omciai report ot the Secretary of the Treasury himself, that from tbe founda j tion lf the Government op to the year ; 1829, ; a period of forty years, all the defalcations a ' mouoted ouly to two hundred and eighteen thou sand! dollars. Under Mr Van Daren's they are asoeriained already to exceed two mil1ioos and "it is Relieved that a thorough investigation wijl discJose a much larger amount. Are men then j moredishonest in oui day, than they wert. for merly ? We think not ; butjhe difference in the results is easily explained. Formerly,-two J things were strictly attended to by the Govern jinefU ; in the first place, to appoint, no one to otlice unless he was believed to be honest (and capable of discharging its duties. Second jy-U On the very first failure, to dismiss the tndivid ual from office. A tlifTojrent practice in boihfr-. vsp-cts seems to have prevailed of late. $len bafe been selected and kept in office, not so much because they were honest and able, as because they (were friends of the dominant Dartvl iMrJ Vao ouren hasbrouffbt with him into the tfixe- .u- 14. Cutttri Chatr, the NeWi York maxim, that ;the unices of tbe country afe the "Spoils" of the victor party. 1 hence we have seen individuals vithojjt character for honesty at home, elevated to important places, merely . because they were warm fcopporteis of the ; President. ; 'i V; r In the next place, individuals have been for years kept in office who were known to be em bmling the public money daily. Wejcould rfer to many facts to prove this. Mr Woodbury jihe Secretary of tbe Treasnry.-knew for monhts that Swartwout wbs a defaulter, yet kept it a secret :unlil hie weat off to England. "He was pfra it ted to jretpain ,ini office three years without giv-' ing any bond jtoi the Government; he wlm rob bed the public of more than a million. We se lect,' however the case of W. P; Harris, j re ceiver at Columbus, because it fully illustrates this part of the subject. He was discovered! to be a defaulter io a considerable extent, yet1 .he was kept in office more ) than two years after wards, j Daring the time not less than twenty letters passed jbetweeo him and Mr Woodbory on the subject,' and it was seen that his deficit waa erery day inpieastng. After he had pock etd pme hundred and nine thoasand one hon dredknd seveatv-eitrht dollars nf ih nnSlM!mnJ - r T TCJ - f-mm.. neyj he was pern?itted to resign. On one locca- stun wn tie iqts man . was in omce, tne secretary threatened tOibae him removed unless he ceaa ' ed his peculations, v John F. H. Claiborne, an Administration member of Congress, wrote lid - the xecutire a letter in bis behalf, in which among many excuses for him, he pronounced Harris one of the main pillars of the democratic! eausei add one of the earliest and most , distin eaislied friends of the administration in Missis v 6ippi. His family and connections are extreme- W fi " lyiinfluential, and all of them are co-operating ar,o and with o in the arduous.struggle which we now makiner. The? are true democrats ; tbe bmk; nullifying the White patties, woo hi shoot If victory' at any blow a i tried at them. We are flow in the midst! of an electioneering campaigsi. Gor, Runneii R. J. Walker, Maj. B. W.i Ed wards, and myself constitute the De; mocratic Van Baren ticket. It will be a closo contest."; Such arguments as these, Fellow Cit hens appear to. have induced the Department to keep him tn orace ontil his defalcation amount ed to the sum already stated. In his letter of resignatioo he recommended as his successor! his friend, Gi: D. Boyd, who was accordingly apj pointed.' 15yd also became a defaulter to j the; amount of fifty-thousand nine hundred and thir-ty-seren dollars.'! Mr. Woodbury sentv as bis; agent to look into the matter, V. M. Gaiesche. tGaresche having' made his invesiigationsj in hi letter to Mr. Woodbury after many shame-p less opwlogtes lor Boyd, says, ' Another receir er .would probably follow in tbe footsteps of the t wo. fmpaninsf Harris and Boyd,) Yoa will not thertfure be suTiriped if ! recommend his being retaioed, in prelerence to another appointment r - i a Hamnshire. "all oil whom are true democrats or whether it be frora any other motive, we care not. The treasure of the people ought to be preserved by our! agents, with as mnch vigilance as private property; is kept ; and j no man io the communitr wou(d, nowingly, keep in bis em ploy) a Clerk, who was constantly stealing his money.! How different; was tbe practice onder Washington's Administration! Whenever Ham ilton, the then Secretary, perceived that an of ficer had failed to pay over any money that came to his bands, be immediately reported him to the President, and bo eiciwei was sufficient to pre vent his immediate) dismissal. Such in faet, has beea the practice of jmost ;of out Presidents. But the times seem sadl altered now. Ought we not Fellow Citizens to returo to the old system ? Do not things call aloud for reformation ? 8ince the year 1829 there bave been upwards of fifty defaulters among! receiyers of Jhe public money. What might we eipect if the Sub-Treasury Scheme were 'adopted 7 PATRONAGE AS'D POWER OF THE RESIDENT. i -v - j I I ; ! - ' :) We come now to xaroine the last and most important bianch of executive abuses, and we regret exceedingly that our narrow limits do not permit us to examinefall its details. While the other bvils whicH wej have discussed, affect us chiefly io a pecuniary point of view, this one strikes at the existeiice of liberty itself. Mr. Jefferson says tbatyithe proper distinction of parties in' a Republican Government, is into Whigs and Tories ' The Tories are for strengthening the General Government, but the Whigs' are for strengthening the Representative Branch as thej bulwark against consolidation, which must ultimately generate Monarchy.' It was opon this distinction that the contest be tween the Oldr Federal and RennblicanJ party turned-it was by opposing the concentration of power inio me nanossor, ine rresioeni ana oy ta king the side of thej people that! Mr. Jefferson 8occeeded"jn ejectinglfrom office , the Old Feder al part? in ISOls I And it was bv adhering strictly to these principles that be continued to be the leader of thQ iKepoblican party down to tbe time of his death. With reference to this distinction of nartiesL we ha v a Mr. Van Rn reuv8 0wn declarations. This gentleman, before be came into office, and while he was courting popularity in a speech tnade in the year 1827, spoke as follows:! f I allude sir, to that colli sion which seems to 6e inseparable from the na- luiB oi men, ouiweeniae: ngms o aejew too the manti. to those never ceasinir conflicts be tween the ad vocaiet of the enlargement and con- centration of power or; the one hand, and its Km ilation and dittributioni on the other : conflicts which, in England, created the distinction be tween Whigs and Tories : the latter striving by all the means within! their reach, to increase the influence and dominion of the throne at the expense of the tommdni people, and the former ; to counteract the exertions of their adversaries. by abridging that dominion, and influence for the advancement of the rights, and the consequent amelioration of the condition of the people." " j Mr. Van Buren stops on at length, in an ef fort to show that the Federalists and Republi cans were divided onlthess principles. Let us then, Fellow Citizens! enouire who it is, that is endeavoring to enlarge: the power of the Presi-i dent, and who are itlie friends of the people. We feel well assured that a fair examination will prove conclusively; that the' ereat Whigf Parly of our day, support the genuine Republi can doctrines. The federalists were in favor of an expense government, while Mr. Jefferson after his election gavel us a cheaper administra tion than apy since. pat Mr. Van Buren not withstanding his; promises ot Economy has greatly exceeded the Old Federalists in that re spect, and his administration is by far the most extravagant, that the I country has seen. Tbe r ederalists were in fajor of a large Army, and Mr. Van Buren's frienda have increased the Ar my, and recommend, a Janre and most expensive system of fortifications, : 'The Federalists were aucusea oi wisnmg io -give ineir rresiaen. an undue influence over Uongress, and you may re member that Gen Jackson, before his election. declared, that if the President appointed mem bers ot Congress to-office " Corruption would become tbe order of the day." But Mr. Van T. I . ii t ! . : uureu nas carrieo mis practice io greai exiem. When members of Congress are turned out by the People for supporting the improper measures of the President, he rewards them with a high and lucrative office) :! far example, a foreign mis sion, which would giva the individual for a sin gle year's service about! twenty-thousand dollars. Uy these means he is endeavoring to subvert the independence of the people's representative, and acquire the absolute control of the Government. Mr. Jefferson selected individoals to fill offices L because they were honest and capable," with out reference to party j distinctions ; and after wards published a circular to all the office hold ers, forbidding them to'interfere in elections, be cause these individuals' were under his own in fluence. He desired that the people should ful- I iL. 1 '.J l i t- j: ly oeciue on tne menisjoi; qis measures: ne uiu not stand in need of a Jury packed with his own dependants. Gen. I Jackson in his first Inaugural Address, declared that tibe officers were meddling too much in elections, and that there was need of a Reform. But! Mr Van Buren's policy is opposite in all respects.! j He appoints men to of fice because they are his friends. If they cease to support him, and; the office happens to be a val oable one, they are removed to make way for was President. Mr Van Buren, Benton and oth ers, alledging thai his patronage and power was too great and dangerous, intrudoceo a oiu io mnu it. The bill ft id; but these men promised that if they came ipt4fficei they would carry the measure. After they came into power, three years since, a bill J (we believe nothing more than their original ln reprinted.) was introduced. Judge White and others; supported it, sayiocr, that as they bad prouitsed the people a reiorm, they oogbt to btry it out. But Van Buren, Benton, and the party generally, notwitbstand iag all their professions previously, and though the evil bad grjsa'ly increased, turned right about and voted against ithe measure. Mr. Van Buren by giving large salaries to the Editors of News papers, is also corrupting. the Public Press. His power is every day iocreasins;. Give him by means of the SabTreasary Scheme! tbe control of tbe whole money power in addition to what be now possesses, and the Government must become tL Monarchy. V- I " : I We do not, Fellow Citizens, assail Martin Van because acted with the Federalists in the support of DeJWitt Clinton daring the late war ; nor because figain, be acted with them and the Abolitionists on the Missouri question; nor do we yet complain, that be has near him and io high offices many of the old Federal leaders. Perhaps Mr. VsnfBareii and these men have abandoned their? former principles. We oppose him because, notwithstanding bis professions of democracy, bisicts arejm accordance with tbe Old Federal doctrines doctrines to which we have ever been opposed, and which if not check. ed, most put ari ead to the liberties of this free Republic; CONCLUSION. We have, thus Fellow Citizens, briefly passed over some of the promi nent objections i to Ijhe present incumbent of the Presidential Chair.; W e have confined ourselves chiefly to the statement of facts, leaving you to draw your own I inferences. We have taken pains to avoid deceiving you we believe that we have fallen into: no errors. If, however, you doubt Ihe truth of any one statement hereto set forth, we ask yoa not to believe it merely because we have alledt'd it, but We do beg of you, that you will retain this communication in your hands, that you will enquire dilligently ontil your minds are fully satisfied on all the points, and when yon are convinced of its truths, we ask you to unite with us to,refprm the Government. .Let us try the Presidential Candidates when they are brought I forward by the standard of their principles. We wish to support a man who is opposed I o the Sub ;Treasury Scheme in all its shapes: opposed toithe Government taking the better currency while it leaves tbe worse one to the Stales and the People especially oppos ed to the President's taking from the Represen tatives of the People, the control of the public money who is opposed to giving the, Public Lands entirely to the new States, and in favor of dividing the proceeds jpf the sales among all the States who Is opposed to extravagant and wasteful expenditures, arid who when elected, will have the. honesty to endeavor to reduce them who will !6how no favor to defaulters, because they are his! political friends, but will prom ply dismiss from office, all who are plunder ing the pobHcwhd. is opposed to the Interfer ences of office holders in elections, and opposed to the enormous' extent of Executive patronage in all its branches who is opposed to all A lition movements who, if elected, will endea- vor to administer tbe'Govnnment after the Re publican fashion! of jVjshington, Jefferson, and Madison one Whoso honor as a man, and whose patriotism as a Statesman are above suspicion, ana wno in great: emergencies nas ever oeen found On the side of his country. llieir boBstcd equality, abd pnu-v Gen " Jackson did bot venture i i prevented the mobocracy from intruw theroselves t bis j levee, v jThe police are o stationed at the door, ;to prevent the ini.mi.in nr mi imnroDer oerson. ow yeais'ago, a fellow would dr.te bis can, or ackoey icoachop to the !bor ; vr Jlk into nalooh in all his dirtjaod force Jhis way to the President, that he might shake hitn by the one band, hilsthef flourished his whip in the other.? The revolting scenes whic took place when Mcshmfns were handed round, the injury; done to the fur rjitorf t and the disgust of ho ladies, may be well imagined, Mr. Van Buren deserves rlroatWdit for this sterx for it was I a bold cine, but 1 must not praise him too or be may lose nis next eiucuuu.

We are not personally acquainted with Mr. Guion, but judging from the Nos. of his paper which have come to us, we hesitate not in sayfng he is amply competent to tbe charge ; and we wish him more than the common lot of the blessed Fraternity ; for we hope that he mav receive the reward of bis labors. - - We refer bur readers to tbe Prospectus of the Banner, which we give in another column. " Scotch Ireland" was received from the Post Office on last Tuesday evening, and we would have been glad to give him a place, but we think him too personal. Our col umns are open to Scotch Ireland1' orany other man that will penn his articles with a regard to moral decency. We feel it our bounden duty to preserve tbe dignity of the public Press, j And however much called for may be the remarks.of Scotch Ireland, he must pardon us for refusing bioi a place; and for this avowal, which has been pattly induced by other correspondents. .
