few short extracts from speech or NJ NJ
Rves, made towards tho close Of tbo a ~

what Jacksonlsm was then. What i,;.a
the columns of the Globe, and the snseot-'
Of Members Of Congress, afford spec;moS
in bright contrast.
But sir, to return to the subiec, Of nm, a.,
expenditures, would say to the houorobIe p..'c
from Pennsylvania that the true p,ods ss sa'e
ing the economy Of our government, at ans 's''
period, Is not TO compare its expenses with s q
Of a foreign government, but with lis on, :, '''7
sn,eoedent period. Now. sir, If We do ,b;s sO1s
shall find that during Mr.. Jeffcrson's admi,;,'s e

OF the government, exclusive Of the payma,,-.

the same class OF expenditures during ,bo 49,,

mounted to sl3.062,3lf. Here then, we r. :
increase Of expenditure equal to $50 Der ce,t u
less than IS years which, after making eys,s -
lowance ior the growth OF the country. and ~ 4,
expansion Of It's institutions, does seem 10
