ordinary appropriations made the session. The amount
appropriated by the bills passed, up 10 the 23th instant
was twenty-five millions; the bills which had come il
since comprised ere;t millions, making thirty.tlHct
millions; and when the Indian appropriations for the
Chrrokces and Greeks, shall be added the total amount
will be from t'ry to forty fire mlllonsa sum larger
han is expended by the British Government, exclusive
OF the interest ami of the public debt

S sbod GO into operation, TO draw these large sums

it necessary swell the appropriations in the bill to such
enormous extent lie called the friends OF the
Administration to think Of the country He did not wish
10 them driven out OF power by public indignation
although he had particular desire to them remain
in office But he ca!eti tlem for the sake Of them
selves and their party, TO be careful TO carry into effect
the principles Of reform which they laid down at the out
set of their career, and 10 prepare to justify their conduct
before the People.
Mr. Wright said that lie had hoped this bill would not
have been resisted. lie recalled to the recollection OF
the Senate that last year fertilization bill had passed
and nov half of another session had passed away nnd
/
next session will not pass Jay before the third day OF

ed that there were included in this bill items which
should have been the Army bili not pertaining to for
tiica tons bat introduced into this bill for convenience
that the Whole Of the ought not to be charged to
the Notifications. He presumed that the money could
be- expended, and that not in that sad condition
in which before. lie did not object to
tie amendment Of the Senator from Delaware.
MIR. Ewing, Of Ohio, said that The amount appropriate
ed by the bill was five times as large as were the usuh
annual appropriations; and notwithstanding the conhdcn
tone Of the Senator from New York. he did not belic!r
that could cxpcnd all this money! although we mgh
