t,., Jackson spent three or four days in our Can

mr. tl,at can be made mithon ctrlnent TO the couu
try, il, the civil list o. expenditures.
The LAST Congress was composed OF maturity in
br.h Houses nDyoscd 10 An. Add,ns, andAthere was
every op,tuniiy in one of the longest sessions to
have f,rreted out abuses, il any existed, and we
would ask in what single expenditure have any
beeu found The State. War, Treasury and Navy
Departments, have been visited, day after day, for
mpnths--eyery item in the expenditures OF each Of
them. even SO minute an object as pen to write
with. have been scrutinized-and what is the con.
sequence Of this fiery ordeal The agents Of the
Government have been found to have faithfully dis
chayred the duties confded to them, with strict
economy as the public service would admit
A fair opportunity offered on the death Of Gen.
Brown to abolish the office, and expences of Major
Genera-How was it improved The majority.
yes those who were SO vociferous Tor retrenchment,
could have saved in this particular several thousand
dollars, and they refused to do it. What better
evidence could be desired that noise is purely
for icct,oneering purposes
The idea is preposterous. that as rigid an econo-
mist as Mr. Adams, man whose habits OF lille and
appearance in his daily perambuiatons about WASH
ington manifest as much frugality and Painness as
belts any gentleman, would encourage or counte-
nance expenditures OF the public money We hes
ate not to express our belief, the electioneerlns
slang of the day TO the contrary notwithstanding,
that Mr.. Adams will loose nothing i'll public est-
nation as an economical President by comparison
with any who have preceded him, y come at.
ter him.
In place Of reform, we fra from .e appropra,
tons of public money the last session, that the ex.
penses Of Congress are greater than at any former
period, and the drafts on the Treasury are millions
beyond the Secretary's estimate. If retrenchment
be so all important, members Of Congress should be.
gin with their own wages-in place of eight dollars,
reduce their allowance to fsur, and the example, We
| think would be salutary.
Fair dealing in canvassing for office, as in every
thing else, is most commendabe.

TRUST IN THE EXECUTIVE.

Among the remarks made by Mr.. Everett, at the
dinner given to Mr.. Webster at Boston, the reader
will find the following deserving particular atten-
ton. Ehe truth is that, even on the jackson
side, there is great confidence in the integrity Of Mr.
Adams.
We have had the satisfaction more than once oil
beholding the tribute unsconclously paid to the m
teSlity of the Administration and the ncorruptlbl'
ty of its head, even at the very crisis OF movements
int nded to fix upon the charge of prodlgay and
corruption. While it was seriously contenied v
committees of the House of Representatives, that
there was an alarming profuson of the public mon
ev, in the item of extra Clerk hire in the Depart
ments, an act Of Congress is passed, think, with
out division, authorizing the appointment OF an
agent or agents TO conduct the controversy rela'
tive TO the North Eastern boundary OF the Union,
"a question likely to become the most important
which has arisen between the two countries since
the treaty of GhenO without any legislative reslrlc'
ton as to their number, their rank, or compensatory.
While it was thought very alarming stretch OF TX.
ecutve discretion that the Secretary Of State should
purchase half length portrait of Washington, to
hang up in the Office Of his Department, an act Of
Congress is passed authorizing the President IN
some eight or ten lines to cause breakwaer 10 oe
constructed within the Capes OF the Delaware ana
actually sending him, on the Of the election, IN
pursuance Of this object into the most important
and the most dsputable portion Of the political field
with quarter of million of dollars IN ms poeke,
without word Of control or limitation ! Political
leaders may say what they will for political e7ec,
but Congresses do not thus throw open the doors o.
the Treasury to men either whose prudence or whose
integrity they distrust. :.
| This trust in the Executive thus unconsc'ousy
and practically manifested BY many Of its opp0ne,aS
in Congress, is as we believe, widely and deeply
and more and more every day, felt by the people

GENERAL SCOTT.-y arious reports are In
circulation relative to General SCOTS course with
respect to the late appointment of Major General.
The following facts, which we gather from the
New York Commercial, appear 10 wear the aspect
of authority &c Contrary to the advice of man.
of las friends, General Scott, few days sin,
! wrote to the acting Secretary of War, insist
upon the arrest of Major Gen. Macomb, for lss.t (.
orders to him or in case the President should ID
cline this measure, Gen. 5. insisted on beinG A.
rested that the Court Martial to be detailed ID ule:
be selected by ballot from thirty officers to BE- a.
signated by the Executive, for that purpose 81.
s. q course reserving his right Of chaenge---and
that {" a highly respectable" Judge Advocate should
be designated to conduct the trlal.--The letter to
the acting Secretary was written in the most res
pectiul terms, and in language showing that he
. honestly believes that Gen. Macomb has no right tC
command him. 10 these questions AN answer was re
turned reminding Gen. S. that he was now on fur
Tough, and directing that soon as that expired, HI
should proceed to his post at the west and inform
e. ing him that if he did not think proper to resum
his command, and submit to the orders from the de
d partment. the United States would have no furhe
e need Of his services" The Commercial adds
le " We have heard il stated, that Gen. Scott if h
$ left the army, intended to pursue the profession
rs law, at Utica. Gen. Gaines makes no objection
" the late arrangements"
II Gen. Scott, is in Philadelphia. and it is b
IS Geved that on reflection, he will remain in the Sc
nd vice.
