made under laws passed during Mr.. Adams ad-
ation,-which laws we're signed by Mr.. A.
dams, passed at his instance, and based upon his
&C estimates"
shall now proceed to call the attention of the
good people OF Maryland, whom you have laborCd
to deceive and mislead, to some other of the mis-
statements, which you made in your dinner speech
in Kent :-mis-statements which there can be no
doubt you knetc TO be such, because you had the
g PUBIC DOCUMENTS which shotced them to be so,
before you.
The year 1880, was truly Gen. Jackson's the
" Executive expenditures of that year are fairly
chargeable to him he made the " estimates on
which the bills, making the appropriations for that
year, were based he asked Congress for a certain
amount TO meet the " Executive expenditures of
that year, and if he asked for too much he is fairly
chargcable with the extravaganza - the laws were
passed while he was President and were signed by
him.
Now, Sir, YOU are a Senator Of the United States
You are possessed of all the " Public Docu-
mentsn ifyou had not the obfcinl statement Of the
expenditures of 1896 before YOU when you deiv-
cred your speech, you no doubt had in your desk
at home-at all events, as you did not commit your
speech to writing for some weeks after, you could
have pracurcd il, before you published it. Then,
ask, YOU in what Public Document" did you find
that the executive expenditures" of 1880 were
$549,776! You have stated it at this sum. Is this
true? Did you not knolo it was not true must pre-
sumo that you did; because, must suppose that,
Senator, you had the official statement before you,
which showed you it was not tue. How did you
come TO fix it at that sunni Why, Sir, by PreSu-
ming that to be fact which you knoir, or might
have asceItained, was not fact;-by presenting
that the amount Expenditures for the 4th quarter
of 1880, equeled the average amount of the other
three quarters of that year, when you knew it did
not. How can you, Sir, excuse yourself to the
people, whose representative you are, for this bare
| faced attempt to deceive themi You knew, at the
time you published to the country that tho I" Elk.
ecutive expenditures" of 1880 were S549776
that they only S515, 725 rs, or S34, 1858 rs
less than you stated them TO be. How is this, Mr.
Chambersl In my former letter convicted YOU
of stating MIR. Adams !" expenditures in the Ex.
ecutive Departments" at a sum less than they
we're, and now convict you Of stating those O.
Gen. Jackson at sum greater than they we're
This looks too much like design to be believed tC
| have been accident. The truth, is, Sir, your OBJ
ject was TO prove that the Executive expendi
lures" were less under MIR. Adams than they hav,
been under Gen. Jackson; and, in the plenitudc o
your aithmetical cunning, you saw that that coult
be done by the use oftwo simple rules-Subtrac
ton and Addition,-subtract from the amount Mr.
: Albums expended, and add to the amount Gen
+ Jackson expended Nothing could be simpler
nothing easier As Shakespear says it is as cas-
: as-lying"
You may readily imagine Mr.. Chambers, that
y take no pleasure in thus exposing VI the pub
i lie. None but personal viteny eauid feel thl
sensation at these exhibitions of your deformitie
u stand in no such relation to you and, therefor,
