RETRENcrMENr. The most prominent
and most successful charge against Mr. Adj
ans Administration was, that it was ertrdU-
agam We now ask the people 10 draw Il
comparison. Mr. Adams expended about
thirteen miioug the last year, it being 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 IN
telligencer contains the following, which
shows how much is appropriated for the
current year:
"I'he aggregate amount ofappropr;ations
made by the acts passed during the late
session Congress is about Miry fve mill
ions Of dollars. OF this amount it curious
to see the very large proportion made for
ahlects connected with our Indian rclatians.
For carrying into effect lreatics or suppress
sing hoSliIitles with the Indian tribes, tex
elusive Of the expenses oftlc army propcr,)
the amount appropriated is more than lhir-
teen million and bali of dollars. The
appropriations for the Aamy amount to four
millions of dollars; for the Navy, to six
millions and IL quarter. for lorIificat.ons, to
nearly thee millions; for hnrbors, to over
one mlllion for the Cumberland road, six
hundred thousand dollars besides three
millions of dollars for the Civil List. Not
withstanding This enormous amount OF APP

plus in lhe Treasury ON the LIST OF January

act Of Congress- viii exceed twenty millions

RECOMMENDATIONS.

The Journal Of Education, one of the
most deserved celebrated literary publica-
lions, says Of this work-"This is one of the
most judiclous and practical books Tor IA phi
mary school, we have vet seen. The Geo:
graphical details are well selected, and the
chapter on natural history will furnish much
food for thought, and will aid the early for
nation of good mental habits. The civil
history is sufficiently copious for the purpos-
es OF such volume, and the account OF the
hardShips OF the eaIly settlers is highly in
struclve and entertaining. Books, such as
this, contain the true elements OF enlighten-
ed patriotism, and possess much higher
value than is apparent at first sight"
Zadock Thompson, "A. NJ says am
much pleased with the Geography and His
tory Of Vermont by the Rev. S. r. Hall,
which YOU lately put into my hands. Ii is
work which believe might be profiably
introduced into all the primary schools of
