uxavouQ FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1830. Toicn Officers. On Monday last, Josenli R. Lloyd, Esq. was elected Ma gistrate of Police, and Messrs. Benjamin AJ. Jackson, I'heophilus Parker, Henry Austin. Henrv Johnston and Randolph Gotten, Commissioners of the town of 1 arborough, for the ensuing year From Washington. We have been Dolitclv favored with a pamphlet copy of a "Letter from the Secretary of the Treasury to the Chairman of the Com mittee on Retrenchment, transmitting a statement of the receipts and expendi tures of the United States, from 4th March, 17S9, to 31st December, 1S29." As several contradictory statements have appeared, relative to the expences of the Government during the last year of the past Administration, and the first of the present, we extract from this offi cial document the following items: The total expenditures in 1S2S, were, - 425f-15P,47J 52 1S29, nnnncinnn tn tlift hill. rlC ODDO- J I I' w - w 1 1 seel the idea of its being a na tional work, and referred to the New-York Canal as an instance in point, that those public works were unprofitable and injurious.

I ask gentlemen it they suppose the wounded pride and patriotism of the South will tame ly submit to such treatment Sir, we want no disunion, and the charge is a foul aspersion, and I indignantly throw it back. The wish uf the South is to cherish unimpaired the principles of the Constitution, venerate its sancti ty, and hand it down to posterity unimpaired. But, Sir, when we see that hallowed instrument, sub verted to answer the most unwor thy motives, when we see that in- Connss.

And, Sir, for this unequal and un constitutional system of taxation, we have prayed to be relieved, and from time to time have remon strated. Our State Legislature has protested against this system. Meetings have been held, in which the unjustness of the tariff policy has been set forth, for which we have been branded with the epi thet of disunionists. The South cherish no such feelings; they are as lirmly attached to the Union as any portion of the United States. "15ut, bir,lct me ask gentlemen to pause and solemnly pause and reflect on the course they are pur suing.
