We eld Mr. Adams responsible for the alleg d extravagance 01828 ) why should Mr. Van Buren be screened for his far greater extravagance in 18S8 ? Vith all this vast expenditure of moriey, the public service hjas been grossly ntglecte!d. The spirit of our army and navyjhas been broken; nei ther of them is as efficient as in 182S. r The reason is, tbatfall': th'j? energies of the Government have been applied to purposes ofnartv to the retention of office in stead of ihe true interests of the country. Veteran and; meritorious officers have been degraded by the tfpppiniiiierit of dem agogues and brawling pbliticians, taken from the county court-houses, and placed irj the highest rankiofthe.army and navy.

Has he ben thorough going in hjs support of the A'tlrninijsiration 1 "An af firmative answer insures the appointment. The greet mass of the voters are plain. .honest farmers, who go for the good ol the country, and arej careless about party reverses. WVaskfthis class of voters, are they content wijjh the 'name of things without the substance ? Are they satis fied with the profession o f economy and thje practice of the most cor upti Jig extrava gance? Do they know that, under this Administration, a great national debt is fast accumulating? j The Secretary of the Treasury has inforrhed us, in a very brief arid business like document published on the first of the present j month, that our national debt on thaijday had been increas ed to more than seven and a half millions of dollars ! ! We ask our plain, honest ftirmefs, do you apnjrove such measures ? Will you sustain such an Administration by your votes? Is WORDS ARE j NOT THINGS.

Frederick the Great and the U. Stales. Frederick was never doubtful as to the is sue of the Revolutionary war between this country ana ireai muain, ana openiy ue clared his sentiments in a treaty which he concluded with Russia in 1781, of armed neutrality.. Franklin, Adams, and' Jeffer son, valued the friendly disposition of the great monarch so.highly, whose influence over his age was great, that they invited him before, any other Power ta a treaty of amity and commerce, which was the last national acttojwhich the King annexed his signature, i Part of this treaty reads thus : "If one of the two Powers be at war ' with a third party, the commercial inter 'course between the said two Power3 shall thereby suffer no interruption, and their respective flige shall protect even the property ofthe enemy ; and in case this property be ammunitions of war, it hall be simply kept in deposite, without being seized. If ever there should be any difficulty between the two countries themselves, the contest shall be confined to the artnies.iand commerce shall go on unmolested, and no letters of marque shall be issued. The prisoners cf war ' shall bp treated in the most urbane man- ner, and hayeithe same pay, and enjoy the same treatment, as their own soldiers of the countries", according to their res- pective ranks.''- Augusta Chronicle. i . r- . ! 1 .1 Capt.
