From The Lexington Reporter.


Much has been SAID against Mr.. Adams admins
tratlon of the government on the of extraya-
gance in our diplomatic intercourse with foreign ma
tons. 1t can be shown that by the policy he has
adopted in sending diplomatic agents abroad, clear
saving to the government accrues of more than
s. 900 for one years salaries and outfits; and of
10000 dollars in salaries each year thereafter,
(making total Of S20l 900 in four years.) During
MIR, Monroe's Administrations Ministers with outfits
of $4,000 each, and salaries each of $4,000 per an
mum, sent to Stockholm, Denmark, Neither
lands, Lisbon, Brazil, Buenos Ayres, and Colombia.
The outfits for ministers TO these governments in 60
ing out their missions, amounted TO 1876 1000 for
the first years expense for ministers alone. Mr..
Adams has stationed Charge DIES Afaires at each of
those governments with outfit of S4 800 each,
amounting in the first year to 1868 000 Just half the
amount expended under Mr.. Monroe and Mr.. Madi-
sons administrations. In addition to this new ma
tlons have sprung up and new missions have been
created, at the governments OF Guatemala and Peru
Mr.. Adams has sent Charge DIES Affaires to each of
them, both amounting to $4,000 the first year for
outfit and salaries. The policy pursued by Mr..
Madison and Mr.. Monroe, would have sent resident
ministers, thereby increasing the expense Sl8 ,ooo
| From the foregoing estimate which is made up
from the official acts of the government, President
Adams has saved in outfits and salaries to our dpo-
matte corps over and above what was customary for
preceding administrations to alow,-81 900 dollars
for one year, and more than 100000 dollars per an
mum in salaries for each year thereafter. And We,
this is called an extrayagant administration by those
whose object is to destroy it. The charge of ex.
trayagaase has been particularly made against this
part of it. And now what are the facts? More than
a sufficiency to detray all the expenses of Panama
or Tacubaya mission are saved in one years SER
vice of our diplomatic corps under the present pc.
hey. Yes, enough to pay the expenses of Mr. King
mission to London, John A. Kings outfit as Charge
DIES Aaires and all. This mission the opposionites
would have to go for nothing, because Mr.. King was
unable to collect the British cabinet which was scat
tered all over the country and in France-and be-
cause he got sick and had to return. According to
opposition logic, when is appointed to for
eign mission he must bind himself not to get sick or
die--otherwise he is unfit for the office.
The actusers of the Administration, censuring or
abusing in congress, actually spending thou
sands of the peoples money, whilst the policy the
executive is pursuing is saving thousands Such a
course fully verities the watch-word of the oppos
ton, that the administration is to be put down right
or wrong.

THE GEORGIA QUESTION.
No vi.
For the Delaavare Journal.

The general government, having obtained ample
and unquestonabe proofs of the fraudulent charac-
ter Of the treaty of Indian Springs, determined to
refer the treaty. and all the circumstances connected
with it, to congress. at its ensuing session. In the
mean time, however, the Greeks had sent to Wash
ington deputation with authority to negotiate a
new treaty. After negotiation of several weeks,
treaty was actually concluded on the Gath of ia
nuary, 1926, to which supplemental article was
added on the 31st of March following.
By this treaty, the Greeks coded 10 the United
States, for the benefit of Georgia, about 47Oo 900
acres of land; which comprised all the land they
possessed in Georgia and all that was coded by the
treaty of Indian Springs, with the exception has
been ascertained by running the line established by
the treaty of Washington, of small tract supposed
to contain about 1862 acres of land. For this
cession the U. States have agreed to pay 100000
dollars The total annuity of 10000 dollars per
annum, being included. The total amount of mo-
ney paid by the United States to, and for the benefit
of Georgia, under the compact of 1902, when the
terms OF this treaty shall have been performed, will
be S8535,2 43, and the quantity Of land purchased
for Georgia, 2o,445,OoO acres; domain nearly
equal in extent to the state of Pennsy lvania, and
fifteen times more extensive than the state of De-
laware
By the first article of this treaty. the treaty of In
dian Springs was g declared to be null and void tc
every intent and purpose whatsoever - and ever,
right and claim arising from the same, was sscancel
led and annulled.''
The new treaty was sanctioned by very larg,
majority of the votes of the Senate; and in the house
of Representatives, the appropriations necessary
carry it into effect were passed unanimously, will

From the Frederick Examiner

Accounts from every section of Maryland repre-
sent the cause ofGeneral Jackson as on the decline.
And no wonder-the people having had leisure to
examine his pretensions with care, are becoming
convinced that they based on his military a.
chievements alone. With such convictions, it is
not surprising that they should decline supporting
him for the Presidency. His advocates cannot urge
his talents, for they cannot point to a single instance
in which he has exhibited any, except as military
man-they cannot enforce his services in civil sta
tions, because he has successfully relinquished
every office to which he was appointed before he
had time to perform any great services even if he
had the abilities. Will they deal in promise as to
his future course, should he be elected ? yes-here
the field is open--but unfortunately, whilst thew
promise that every thing shall be done for the in
terest of the country, their own conduct in Con-
gress proves that they have arrayed themselves in
direct opposition to those interests. Their hostli-
ty to internal improvement and domestic manufac-
lures, and their sacrifice of half million of the
public money, because the administration wished
to save it, give us to understand, too clearly. the
policy which would characterize the administration
of General Jackson, to admit of much reliance on
promises.

who are about to sail for Europe may feel an ine-
rest in seeing the particulars somewhat more mi
nutey stated. The floating islands lay along the
eastern edge of the Bank, in the latitude Of about
as degrees and between the 49th and SID degrees
of longitude Several of them appeared to be
aground. and in others, the motion upon the waves
was perceptble. The officers OF the ship took the

colossal ruin Others were in I'll. shape OF churches,
houses and isolated towers-with the pillows dash
ing furiously round their bases. 10 many Instances,
fragments ofmoderae size, apparently severed from
the larger Masses were seen close TO the ship. For
tunately the atmosphere was clear, and vigilant
watch was kept upon the bow OF the ship by night
and day. For two or three days the thermometer
was below the freezing point, and the shrouds were
coated with ice. Captain Croker, the veteran mas.
ter of the Pacific who has crossed the Atlantic one
hundred and thirty-eig times remarked that he had
never seen so many iceburgs during single voyage,

public engagements with her have been faithfully
fulfilled and in no single instance. that we have
seen, has the general government departed from the
path of courtesy and Cancellation in Its intercourse
with the authorities of Georgia.
On the other side what has been the course OF the
Executive and other agents of Georgia. They de-
manded that the government should remove the In
dams by violence, under treaty which provided,
that it should be done peaceably and by their own
consent. They reproached them with introducing
agriculture, education and religious instruction into
the wilderness. These topics were urged in terms
the most offensive and dictatorial. As it regards
governor Troup, his career has presented a scene
of open defiance Of the laws and wanton disrespect
to the constituted authorities of his country, of which
there is no precedent to be found in the madness of
the most factous period of our history. The day
will arrve--it is not far distant-when governor
Troup will stand where he ought-marked by the
moral apprehension of his counrymen: when the
