Excess of appropriation, 1852 ESQ 36
This comparison does not include the appropriation
or expenditures account of the national debt Ii shows
clearly that the expenditures fall short of the appropr
atoms by the gross of 1852 $50 36-with what face
can Mr. Chiffon then pretend that he has deserted the
present administration of its extravaganza
Can any one OF these items be disputed? Not one oil
them. Until some special misappcaon of the public
funds can be pointed out will the last administration
be held responsible for the expenditures well as the
appropriations of lS29'-Unt it can be made to appear
that the money has not been applied in the d.
rected by law, how can the partsans OF Mr.. Adams
blame Gen. Jackson, whose duty tits to the law
iaihully executed Tor paying away money in cempli-
ance with the legal enactmcns which have been APP
proved and signed by Mr.. Adams? Gen jackson had no
discretlon- was his duty to pay the money to those
who, under the laws proposed by Mr. Adams, were en-
titled to it. 1t will thus be that Mr.. Chiffon has
made his somerset without examination of the pre-.
misses upon which he preends TO justify himself.
Is 1t not apparent that he has assigned false and
uncharabIe suppose that he has given the best
which his will admit of
so much Tor the comparative extravaganza of the late
and the present administration So much for the poll.
