Tho disaster was retrieved, however, in
a few hours by the capture Of the British

Thsy ought 10 have remembered the
Thames of Upper Cansda, where Tecum-

They ought TO have avoided this cx,rav.
agant and useless expense, and followed
the examples of our former Presidents and
their Cabinets. Our foreign Ministers can.
not influence their elections at home. The
changes must have bsen made to make
room to reward partizans.
fes, Sir, the Administration needs 10.
CALLING act, e. will vote them one; not in
opposition Of the petty tyrsnnies aud cor.
rupton Of The day; not in appreciation OF
this kind Of reform, as exempllfed in this
doubled expense for no good or useful pb.
lect; but ! will vote them the money that
the machine Of Government may GO on; and
20 show them. and the public, that our op.
position gees no further than the security
Of the great principles ofpublic liberty and
the Constitution requires.
What has been wasted in prescribing
some of the most faithful and best tried
public servants, cannot be recovered. The
public service must 90 on.
My rule shall be this. will vote for no
measure whose prime object ia merely to
distribute public money in the West. the
East, the North or the South; but when
there is q National object or other object
Of tho public service, and the increased ex.
pondituro Of public money shall follow as
a consequence, am not tho man TO halt,
or regret it.
IN such csse ! view the increased ex.
| pendlture as | would the waters turned by
a farmer upon his fields TO irrrigate, fortll.

e.sesson tho proper portion Of those wa.
ters will be restored, either by the process
Of evaporation in dews and rains, or by
some other natural process, to the reser.
voIr or iount whence they were original.

So the increased expenditure in q good
cause, onlivens the business of soc ioty and
is as so much wholesome blood infused in
TO the veins of 40 smaciated paupey, as our
country is, in the present great dispropor.
bon between the property and business, a.
the circulating currency Of the United
Ststss.
! And, in due time as much Of such expen-
dltures AZ the public interest requires will
find ito way back, by our system Of volun-
tary rsysnue, or other lawful process, into
the Treasury Of tho Union.
| Even my remote constituents known that
they pay no direct taxes for the support or
! the General Government; but only TO sup.

will 90 no further yet. If tho Presi.
dent wishes Home Department 10 divide
the greatly accumulated business Of the
State Department, will vote for il; or for
a voyage by sea; or tour by land, for ex.
plorOtion and discovery; or for National
Observatory. TO place Us on a footing with

hoping he may not indulge himself 10 fig.

Tor that would be federal, end might damn

Let the Senator from South Carolina,
I (Mr. HayneD 60 on in the spirit Of the el.
der Adams, and build his Navy;I will help
him. Let him even place our Naval officers
on rank with the proudest that sail the
ocean, will aid and assist him. For our
country is cid enough, and ripe enough,
and ricb enough, for oil such things.
And, with such objects in view, ] would
not s,op TO ask myself who is President for
the time being' Holding myself ready TO
check him il he should incline TO 90 out Of
his sphere, or to be drawn out oft by party
spirit, and NE management Of o,he!s--snd
still sustain the cause Of the country, as an
object Ear above all questions Of who shall
be President.
But, unfortunately, in such party spirit
as is now introduced into the General Gov.
ernment, the best interests Of the country
must bow to the seeptro Of the Cabinet, &
kiss the rod CT party discipline.
In this increased expenditure there Is
also ono other consideration worthy OF Q
passing regret. The pittanee VIC proposed
10 give Gales g. Soaton--the same Galos
&, Seaton whose press was destroyed and
their types scattered in The streets in 1914,
by the rnyrnidons Of Britain, for their pat.
rio,ie exertions in their country's cause,
during tho late wsr--thc saIne did
tascals' for whom the prototype Of your
Telegraph. Cockburn, inquired and sought,

work, st q fair price, would sure enough
have been ss so much wholesome blood in.
fused into the veins Of the emanc; ;pated
community. II would have beou expended
among us, to yovive dropping business or
in deeds Of charity; while the doubled sx.
pense Of foreign affairs must be mostly ex.
pended AZ foreign courts. TO humor the
pride, and swell the pomp Of pampered
Kings and Emperon.
But 70 day the Senator from Tennessee.
himself swallows the camel with becoming
complscency.
Yes, your administration expected the
