Yes, Sir the Administration needs a lega /
zing act, and viii vote them one not in ap
probation oil the petty ty anni"s aud cprup
tons Of the day not III appreciation OF tins
kind of reform, as eAempliGed ia this doubl,
expense for no good or useful object but vi
vote them the money that the machine OF tOy
eminent may go on and TO show them, ana
the public that our opposition goes no idrlhci
than the security OF the great principles o.
liberty and the Constitution requires
What has been wasted in prescribing some
of the most faithful and best tried public serv
anis cannol be recovered. Tue public service
must go on
My rule shall be this | will vote for no
measure whose prime object is merely 10 disir
! al. a.,
North or the South but when there is Ma
tional object, or other objec' of HE public ser
vice, and the increased expenditure Of pubic
money shall follow aS a consequence, am not
I the man TO halt or regret II.
In such a case view the increased expPndi
ture as would The waters turned by farmer
upon his fields to irrgate, tertlize and render
them more productive lns due seas1n the
proper portion of those waters will be restored,
either by the process of evaporation in dew5
and rains, OF by some other natural process, Ia
! the reservoir or fount whence they were orgi
haIly drawn.
So the increased expenditure 10 a good cause
enliyens the business of society, aud IS as so
! much wholes ONE blood infused into the veins
of an emaCiaied pauper rs our country is, in
the present great disproportion between thu
property and business, and the circulating cur
rency ofthe q States.
And in due time as much Of such exprndi
lures as the public Interest requires will find its
way back. by our system Of voluntary revenue,
or other lawful process, into the Treasury OF
the Union.
Even my remote constituents know tha'they
nav 10 direct taxes for the support Si the Gen.
eral Government; but only TO support their
State Government, at home.
I will 90 further yet II the President wishes
Home Department 10 divide the greatly ac-
cumuated business OF the State Department, Il
will vote for it or fora voyage by sea, or tour
by land for exploration aud discovery or for
