/ expenditures Of the Government during the fur
years Of Mr. Adams's administration, and A
compsi ison with those OF the first year of the

ton for my course. am persuaded that a
glance AZ the statement will satisfy any one
who looks with greater concern upon TRUTH
and Tho good OF his country than upon PAR.
