WONDERFUL. STATESMAN!

Early III Mr. Jcdcrson's administration he
was in favor of reduction of the revenue Of
the United States; for, he said, ii was I'M
proper TO accumulate national treasures for
war, to happen nobody knew when, and which
might not hcppen bat for the temptation held
forth by that very treasure AT the close OF
his unfortunate reign, and even after his en-
barge, he earnestly recommended to congress
prospective appropriation of the SURPLUS re-
Uenue : What does he say now? Does he
not regret his agency in preventing that col
lection Of funds which would have enabled
his friends to have met the present exigencyi
And is he not mortified by the experience,
that his system, his holitics, far from leaving
any surfluS reUenue to be disposed Of, have
nearly annihiated all reUcnue, and left the
treasury almost exhausted
