every thing connected with the Stage Coach
business, anu every line, seems TO make an eE

at the aext election, that they will be scarcely heard
Of again.
On the same day that the friends Of Jackson held
this meeting at Georgetown, small collection OF the
Adams men took place, which we notice only to re-
mark, that from the excrtlons previously made, to
bring enough of the coaltonsts together TO out nun
Der the [Jacksonl people, may be set down as

An Adams meeting was held in another part Of

One strong fact is Of itself sufficient to show what
is the general opinion in Sussex upon the subject

and that is that bets have been offered to the amount
of any sum below fifty thousand dollars, in favor OF

CoLoMBIA.-We lately gave an extract Of a let
ter from intelligent gentleman residing in Colon
ba, detailing interesting facts in relation to
the political affairs of that country. The following
is from the same source, under date Of March 4th.
''Since my last things have remained nearly in
the same state. An Anonymous paper, addressed to
the officers Of the army, has been put in circulation,
which is copy of the famous letter addressed to
our army in 1888 wide Marshal's Life Of Wash

far as to suit the change of scene. 1t concludes
with SAYING These were the sentiments Of dis

OF this appeal. the army comes out with an address,
which | enclose you 1t speaks for itself. lmme-
diately two Colonies were named as military dep
utation to represent the army at Ocana, where the
Grand Convention is by law to meet Others have
been sent off to Bogota. 1t is said that the same
proceedings have taken place every where in Colon
bia, and that all the army will have their represen-
tatives thereof it is not difficult to guess
from whence proceeds this united movement. De.
pend on it, it is warranted by high authority, in con
sequence of the elections Of Deputies for the Grand
Convention having resulted in the choice of the
Liberals. They will not be allowed to meet, pro

TO THE EDITOR of the JOURNAL.

The character Of cur Meeting, at George Town,
on Tuesday last, was indeed imposing The bone
and sinew Of the County Of SUSSEX with us. Our
prospect, here, becomes more and more fattering,
every day. There could not have been less than
500 or 600 friends of MIR Adams and the Admins
tration out on Tuesday
The Jacksonians, also, had meeting. The de-
sign of calling theirs at the time and place designat'
ed for ours, is very obvious. 1t was to claim
greater number Of persons than they could other
wise have done. I should say land thereby be We
ry liberal to them that three-ffths Of every person
in town, on that day, were Administration men.
There were, at least, 800 men in town. We SHALL
perhaps, be told otherwise-but only for effect.
The Administration vote, next fall, will be in tho
proportion Of three-ifths out of 5000 votes. Con"
sequenty, their majority will be 600.

REMARKS.


If we had no other proof Of the despair which
has seized the Iacksonians relative to Sussex than
the extracts which we have made from the Jackson
prints above, they would be sufficient. "Whatev~
er doubts may have existed heretofore" says the
Patriot to the votes of this State, they now
at an end !" The jests accompanying this truth
ought to be tolerated, perhaps, for few days, be-
cause it could not be expected that plain pubNc
confession of their despair of Sussex should be made
at this moment.
When the reader sees any calculation from the
Gazette, he will Immediately remember the old ones
respecting w. II. Crawford and Mr.. Johns. That's
all.
We are quite willing that the Jackson Editors
should perform the duties of their vocation, and
put on the best phz they can. Their friends ex.
pect it !; but we caution them not to hazard one
cent on the result of this election terminating in
their favor.

gress Upon that will, therefore, must depend the
aggregate OF expense occasioned by the execution
OF the laws; and the expense OF the. Executive De-
partments must bear some relation TO that aggre-
gate though constituting but very small part Of it,
Having made these remarks, the minority of
the Committee will proceed TO state their views
upon the different branches of the duty assigned to
them, as they understand it. The resolution Of
the House, under which they had the honor TO be
appointed, was founded upon precise allegation,
and gave no particular direction to the inquiry
TO be made. 1t seems therefore, to have intended
that there should be general examination Of ex-
pendure Of every kind; not with view to re-
trench any expenditure kn0,cn to be useless or
was,eful, to reform and any abuse knotU,,
to exist, Qor there is no such thing aliegedo but
10 ascertain whether there are not abuses. or eX-
pendtures that are useless and wastefu. This
duty, the minority Of the Committee have cndea-
vored to performs; and they will now submit their
views ip the following order, which they suppose
best calculated to present them distinctly, accord
ing TO the Intentions Of the House, TO wit:
j. The aggregate expenditure Of the Government
2. The expenditure ofthe Departments mention
cd in the resolution.
\. Under the first Of these heads it may be pro-
per to state what the expenditures are, in order
that the remarks hereafter to be made may be the
better understood.
Taking then, for example, the year 1926, and O
hitting, for the present, the payments on accoun
OF the public debt, which amounted i'm that year
l,0il ,052 10, the heads Of expenditure fol
lows, to wit:
