it now ! have read Mr.. GaIlatin's
reports to Congre(s and find the an
nual receipts of tic national treafury
under the federal government were
about millions and third of dollars
take one year with another ALTO,
that with this income they laid up
IA million dollars. The annual re-
ceiptS for Mr.. Jeferion's years, not
withdrawing the pull-back of the
embargo, ARE, take one year with ano-
Their, about z million and a half of
dollars. In these s years the money
received into the treafury was above
SO million dollars more than had
before been received in an equal time.
If besides this, MIR. Jefferlon's ad-
miniltration laid up money, at the
fame rate with the federalifts out of
an equal income, the amount is about
10 million more. If therefore the
federalists had continued in office,
thefe 8 years, and managed as for
merly, we should have in the treafu-
ny IA. and 80, and 10, makes 81
million dollars. A decent FUN this |!
We farmers cypher 70 little we
ought TO remember that million is
Shorthand thoufand But the re-
pull ms we have right to expect
have done better than this. What
does Mr.. Gallatin fay fay! He fays
the treafury is a million dollars worfe
than nothing and for another year
we mutt borrow a million dollars at
least. That's all we know about it,
only MIR. Madifon fays he thinks
there will be no difficulty in borrow
ing what we may want. Are you
aftonished ? 70 ami. But one thing
is certain, the money is gone. What
has become of it That's another
qucs.Ion. | can tell but very little
abcat il
Federal ialarles were high. Yes |;
but many have been higher since. I
have jult looked at the laws made
toon after Mr.. Jefferfon become Pre-
iident, and | find ten Offices whole

Gen DearOornS1 Ion, young

his law buGneis, was employed by
his father to overfee the building

ted to $50 dollars 80 cents, and the
young man was allowed about double
