For the Staunton .Snectnto.

GENTL>MEN-It is frequently necessa.
ry for those who live under renublicon
form OF government, to examine into The
manner IN which their government has
oeeh administered, and especially into
Its expenditures of the peoples money;
and IN doing so, it is not proper to com,
pare them with the expenditures Of other
governments, but to compare them with
those OF our own at some former per;oJ3
Having this object in view, and having
some leisure moments on hand I have
endeaVored, with candour, to look into
the reports OF different Secretaries of the
treasury to ascertain what proportion
the expenditures Of government has
borne at one time to those of another.
Having no documents farther back
than the year 1912, arm compelled to
begin with that year, which Won will
remember was the first year of the late
war.

is equally desired by the Wings as BY

have been effected in a constitutional
way, il due time for deliberation had
been allowed.

STRAIN OF unsurpassed eIoquence and

I'D speech traught with noble and re-.
publican sentiments. They were unan-
imously adopted,
The resolutions declare that the
nineteen Electors of the Senate, in their
refusal to elect that body, in our iudg-
ment have disobeyed the express com
mand OF cur Constitution have disrenar-
ded high public trust, involving the
very continuance of Government and
me security of our persons and property;
have committed high misdemeanor by
their wilful abandonment of a high pub

stood pledged 10y their acceptance of il
and merit the severest repfobation of the
People Of Maryland, and of the friends
OF liberty order, and good government

spirit; denounciDg the usurpers as DCs-

for extending the privilege of Bankrupt
