of repudiation avowed by the State of
Mississippi. In the House of Delegates of
Maryland a bill to repeal the law imposing
a tax to raise money to pay the State debt,
has been promptly voted down, 52 to 21;
and in the House of Representatives ol
Ohio, a resolution has been passed Gl to 6,
in which the doctrine of repudiation is de
nounced as being "at variance with every
principle of patriotism, morality, and even

TlIK PUBLIC DEBT.
Bv ri ! iii' g to the Senate analysis of to
tlav ( loth ii. st. ) a statement of the public
debt will be found for two periods, the 23d
of December, 1S41, and 3d of Mgrch,
IS 41, made by the Secretary of the Trea
sury in compliance with the resolution of
Mr. Tappan, adopted by the Senate on the
2 d ultimo. The Treasury notes returned
in tiie statement as being outstanding on
the 3d i f March, 1S41, are not so much as
is repotted on the books, because from one
to two millions would be redeemed and
remain in the hands of the accounting offi
cers, yet not entered on the books. The
public will now ee where the forty million
debt is, by the official confession of this
Administration, and know how little reli
ance should have been placed on the allega
tions of its supporters previous to and at the
extra session.
It will be seen, by the official statement,
that the debt on the 3d of March, 1S41,
was but S8, 379,059 SG, (which, in fact,
was less by neaily two millions, as the
notes redeemed and in the hands of ac
counting officers, and yet not entered on
thi books, should be deducted;) and the
debt on the 23d of December, 1S41, was
S14,72S,0S5 07.

as lashionahie gentlemen, to an ignomin

American, in alluding to some fresh impor
tations, remarks: They amount to a very
larure number; most of them come here
poor, but the grot chance for plunder in
New York and Philadelphia has enabled
these adroit rascals to make money enough
to assume the exterior of travelling gentle
men, with large portmanteaus and bags,
gold headed canes, gold chains and watch
es, and a white servant, usually an accom
plire. They are doing, and will continue
to do, a fine business. Some of this gang

have but little effect, except to increase
their audacity and the extent of their de
predations." ib.

The Retrenchment Administration.
The way Mr. Van Buren retrenched the
expenditures, was to curtail the, estimates,
by avoiding all works not positively neces
sary. The Whig party, or Pipe-Layers',
thought that Mr. Van Buren was very ex
travagant, and they said that if they got
into power they intended to retrench and
reform the Government. Will any of
them deny this? We dare them lo it.
We'll bring the proofs.
Very well, thai was all very just, if it
had only been carried out in practice. But
to the sorrow of this nation, there appears
to be, in the words of a Roman Consul, a
great difference in the candidates before
and after election.
In plundering over the estimates for
