The Funds SO far from the present Administration be,
ing entitled any praise for the management of the peo-
pies money put Under their charge il vany attempt
ed make the public believe by the deceptive statements
of the Journal they have wanony wasted part OF that
over which they had discretionary CONTROL They had
no discretion to exercise the appropriated by
Congress for national defence, internal improvement and for
bayment of the public dej They hada discretion however
over the contingent fund.- and have committed more waste
upon it than any previous administration
! For instance the Secretary of War has in 1ee gears
wasted upon single object, Slo4 II more than was used
by Mr. Calhoun when the head Of that department for
the same object during sr years. In the three years OF
the present administration, nearly so per cent of the
contingent fund has been squandered by Mr. Adams, than
was used in the three years Immediately proceeding his
accession to power
CouIor-A remarkable instance of candor is displayed
in the last Journal not prepared to expect
but which we feel bound to acknowledge promptly II is
generally said in parlance, when extravagan
tale is narrated embesed with the tropes of romantic
magnaton passing the belief Of ordinary minds, that the
narrator shoots with long gun. Understanding this all-
sion and the editor not wishing TO say in plain language
that he Thought the remarks of Mr. Pnckney of the Ma
rander in relation to the militia untrue hangs
ony pxn over the extracts from that paper. BY way Of
