Thcss'following almost prophetic extract is
from the report made by Col. Benton in the
U. s. Senate, in 1929 on the subject of execu-
tive patronage.
awe must look forward to the time" SAYS
the Colonel, "when the public revenue will be
DOUBLED when the civil and military officers
ofthe Federal Government will be ouADRu-
PIED: when It's influence over individuals will
be multiplied to an indefinite extent WHEN
THE NOMINATION BY THE PRESIDENT CAN
CARRY ANY MAN THROUGH THE SENATE, AND
HIS RECOMMENDATIoN CAN CARRY ANY MEA
SURE THROUGH THE TWO HOUSES of Cox.
GREss WHEN THE PRINCIPLE OF PUBLIC AC.
TIoN WILL BE OPEN AN AvowED-the Presi.
dent mants NJ rote, and uam his PATRONAGE.
I aciH VOTE as he nciShes, and he uiN GIVE me
the Office ,cish for. WHAT WILL THIS BE
BuT.THE GOVERNMENT OF ONE MAN, BUT A
MONARCHY! Names are nothing The ma
ture of thing is in its substance, and the
name soon accommodates itself to the sub.
stance"
Ex-senator Benton had written this para
graph in 1886 instead of 1929, he could not
have drawn more graphic sketch of things
as they are. nor addressed the people in more
emphatic voice of warning. The things pre-
dicted have come to pass; and If the People
now elect the Presidents nominated successor
the picture will be complete of Republic in
name, but Monarchy in truth! -s-.s Il

STRIKING FAcT.-A writer in the New
York American BY comparing the bills ofmor-
talitv in Baltimore, for the four weeks, prece-
ding the 3d Oct, finds that the deaths among
the whites are , - per cent; among the tree
blacks 3 l-2 FER cent and among the slaves
l per cent.
TO what Is this great disparity owing
The proportion OF deaths IN every community
is greatest among the dissolute poor; because
from their dissipation, they are most subJectto
disease, and from their poverty and degrada-
ton they are most neglectedin sickness. This
will account for the great proportion OF deaths
among the free blacks. The slaves are re-
strained bv their masters from so much dlssl-
patton as to undermine their health and when
sick they have all needtul attention from their
owners. Slaves do then suffer less from the
worst and most fatal evils ofpoyerty than any
other class of labouring poorin the world.

RETREScnME~. The most prominent
and most successful charge against Mr.
Adams Administration was, that il was
ertrayagant. We now ask the people to
draw a comparison. NJ Adams expended
about thirteen millions the last year, it be.
ing The largest amount Of the four. Gen.
Jackson has been increasing that amount
every year of his administration, until it
amounted to thirty million last year. The
National lntelligencer contains the follow
ing, which shows how much is appropriated
for the current year:
"The aggregate amount of appropriations made
by the acts passed during the late session Of Con-
gress is about thirty tire millions Of dollars. OF
this amount it is curious to the very large pro-
portion made for objects connected with our Indian
relaians. For carrying into effect treaties or sup.
pressing hoslilites with the Indian tribes, (exou.
slve of the expenses of the army proper, the a.
mount appropriated is more than thirteen million
and a half Of dollars. The appropriations for the
Army amount TO four millions OF dollars for the
Navy, 10 six millions and quarter for fortified,
tions, 10 nearly three millions for harbors TO over
one million; for the CHAMBERLAIN road, six hundred
thousand dollars besides three millions of dollars
for the Civil List. Notwithstanding this enormous
amount OF appropriations, there is doubt that the
surplus in the Treasury on the 1t of January next
subject TO distribution under the late act of Con-
gress, will exceed twenty millions Of money!
