MR.. VAN BUREN's CASTING VOTE

We have waited for some time to notice
the subject of Van Buren's casting vote
more fnlly than we have heretofore done.
1t was a considerable time before we could
get the bill itself, and we confess that as
regards the rights of the North, it is less
Objectionable than we supposed. Its pro-
visions were much altered from those pre-
scented by MIR Grundy's amendment. In
Judging oft act of the Vice President, we
must look at the bill as it stood when he
voted for it. His partsans say he would
not have voted for the original bill. We
may say with as much reason, perhaps,
that he would. If it should be conceded
that the amendment left the principles in
volved in the bill essentially the same,
while it changed some of the provisions,
we shall be conceded to have the best
ground for our conjecture and such we
do conceive the fact to be.
But this is question OH which we should
of course not agree with the Vice Presi-
dents advocates at the North, and the dis
cusson of il would lead us aside from the
more important one Of the propriety of the
vote for the bill us it was. That there may
be no mistake about the facts, we invite
attention to the bill:
a BILL
Prohibiting deputy post masters from re-
ceiving or transmitting through the mail
to any State, Territory or District, certain
papers therein mentioned, the circulation
of which, by the laws of said State, Ter
ritory or District, may be prohibited, and
for other purposes.
Be 1t enacted By The Senate and House Of
Representatives. Of the United STATES o.
America in Congress assembled, That il
shall not be lawful for any deputy postlnas
ter in any State, Territory, or District oftht
United States, knowingly to deliver to any
person whatever, any pamphlet, newspa
per, handful, or other printed paper, OF
pictorial representation touching the subjec
of slavery, where, by the laws of said State
Territory or District, their circulation i,
prohibited (; and any deputy postmaster whc
shall be guilty thereof shall be forthwith
removed from office.
Sec. 9. find be ii further enacted, Tha
nothing in the acts of Congress to establish
or regulate the post office department, shall
be construed to protect any deputy post
master, mail carrier, or other officer, o
agent of said department, who shall know
ing circulate in any State, Territory, O
District as aforesaid, any such pamphlet
newspaper, handful or other printed pape
or pictorial representation, forbidden b,
the laws Of such State, Territory, or Dis
trict
Sec. 3. find IL is Guthe, enacted. bu N
authority aforesaid That the deputy post
masters of the offices where the pamphlets
newspapers, handbills, or other printed pa
pcrs or pictorial representations aforesaid
may arrive for delivery, shall, under tn
instructions of the Postmaster Genera
from time to time, give notice of tho sam,
so that they may be Withdrawn by the per

EXPENDITURES OF THE GOVERN
MFNT

An important official statement from the
treasury Department will be found on the
first page of the present paper. 1t has
been on file for several days, but we have
not been able to give it an earlier insertion.
1t will be seen from this document that the
appropriations for 1886, Including the I'M
expended balances of last year, amount to
thiry-eight Millions, seven hundred and
thirty three thousand, one hundred and
forty four dollars. Such is the economy
of our retrenching, reforming administra-
ton! Uhen Mr. .AdamS' ief The administra-
ton the current annual expenditures of the
government, erclnsiUe Of the public debt, a.
mounted 10 about TWELVE MILLIONS; and
the same individuals who then exclaimed
against him for his lavish, unjustifabIe
spendthritt use of the public money, are
now plundering the people to the tune of
near forty millions The appropriations
of our reformers for the present year, small
comparatively as are our army and navy,
exceed those for similar purposes, of the
prodigal government of Great Britain
Well was the question put near the close of
the session by Mr. Clay--and impossible
was it for Colonel Benton and his CO ICON
spirators for plundering the treasury 10 an
swer it--''Who would have supposed that
an administration which came in upon
pledges and promises of retrenchment, re-
form and economy, should, in the eight
years of its rule, have swelled the expenses
of this government to an amount exceeding
that of Great Britain"

PRESIDENT MADISON'S OPINION
OF GEN. HARRISON.

The following extract from President
Madson's Message to Congress, in relation
to the Battle of Tippecanoe, shows very
clearly what were the opinions entertained
of Gen. Harrison by the democratic party"
of 1912:
awhile it is deeply to be lamented that
$50 many valuable lives have been lost in
"the action which took place on the 9th
cult. Congress will see with satisfaction,
"the dauntless spirit and forttude victori-
"ousy displayed by every description of

We have often wondered, when passing
the Exchange offices in New York, and
seeing the profuse display of gold coin IN
the windows, that the temptation was moi
too great to be resisted by all, and that we
had never heard of an attempt To grab the
"yellow huvs" by breaking "A square of the
frail material, which alone guards the heaps
of treasure. AT Inst it appears from the 'ol-

The course recommended nv the Presi-

Western mru,-more pariicnlarly the CIT

been well if the sales "f the public Lands
bad been stopped long ago. Their finest

v,ncrd prices. Those who come 10 the

The snecurnrs wall no doubt consider
the reduction in the price of the lands to
actual settlers as - breach of public faith ;
whereas H.. President represents their mo-
