forming that body, that there was great dan.
ger OF the public service being deeply injured
and impeded ; or in other words, danger that
the wheels Of government would stop, for the
want of money to keep them going. If we
recollect right the entire sum, available. then
in the Treasury, was less than half million.
That communication made by the President
was accompanied by report made to him, by
the Secretary Of the Treasury.
In that report, the Secretary after descrb-
ing the peculiarly Of the condition Of the
Treasury Department, las he termed ~ pro-
ceeded TO say:
The peculiarly has arisen, not from any actual
denciency which has yet occurred In the receipts
tcipaed for the year, not from any OF appro-
priations which has yet been made for either ordi-
nary or extraordinary objects; but from prohibit
required BY law tobe received for them" (Trcasury
notes.)
In pointing out the manner in which the
evil complained Of could be remedied, and the
difficulty be removed, he said: -" II (Congress)
could remove the prohibition to reissue the
notes which may be OF have been prematurely
paid in and redeemed; and where they have
been cancelled, permit others to be issued in
their stead: or it could effect the same object
by allowing other notes to be emitted, instead
Of such as have been and shall hereafter be
paid in, before the period for redemption. BY
the seasonablc adoption Of either Of these
measures, all embarrassments during the year
1888 can probably be obviated. For IN that
event no additional means to meet the eapendi-
lures of The gear rili be necessary, unless be-
fore the close Of the session, IL shall appear
that new appropriations hape been made or are
likely to be made, ereeeding the estimates sub
mitted By several millions, or that The revenues
piH be materially less"
1t is universally known that Congress au-
thorized Immediately, the issue Of new Urea
sury notes for such as were returned, so that
ten millions might be kept out the whole Of
the time, until they became due according to
their tenor.
In this, every thing was granted by Con-
gress that the Secretary, or the President, for
him, or the Committee of Ways and Means
asked for.
Now as to the appropriations made by Con-
gress:
The whole amount as published Off
cially, was $3S, ALB 600
The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-08-08

$50, 900
Add unexpended appropriations of
| last year estimated by the Secretary
! ofahe Treasury, i4,l4OoOo
Total appropriations, $44,550,OOO
| Deduct this sum, which he estimates
will remain unexpended at the end of
| The year, Of this years, and former APP
preparations 100000
Total Of appropriation to provide
| forhe in lS3S--in the event of all but
eleven millions being expended, $40, $50, 600
1t will be seen that this exceeds the esti-
mates made by the Secretary the Treasu-
sy but million and half Of dollars
Now to our estimates Of the receipts into
the Treasury for the year 1888. They are
as follows, viz ,..s.N
Balance in the Treasury lst January,
applicable to expenditures 100000
Treasury notes that may be issued
within the year under the old and
new acts loooo,oo
Probable amount received from depo-
site banks exclusive OF the amount
drawn before the LIST January, es-
timated by Mr.. Cambreleng at 100000
Bond of the Bank United States pay
able LIST September 1888, and nte-
rest 100000
Costom-house bonds postponed, estimat-
ed by Mr.. Woodbury. and Mr..
Cambreleng at four millions, and .-...
BY Mr.. Jones at six and possibly
nine, 100000
Receipts during the year from customs
and lands, estimated by Mr. Wood
bury at eighteen, by Mr. Cambre-
leng at sixteen, and by Mr.. Jones at
fifteen and half million dollars;
we estimate a, 100000
Total revenue for 1928 estimated by us 2s,3ooOOO
Deficiency of income to meet appropri-
atoms $5,250,OOO
There is atanding appropriation Of mil
lion dollars to supply the mint which we
do not take into the foregoing estimates.
There was, also, on hand in the Treasury,
in December, according to the Secretary's
report, $500, 900 in the mint, and about $4oO-
600, trust fund belonging to the Indians, to
be invested, which we understand the Co
vernment has since assumed as debt due by
it to them, on which it pays the interest.
neSe Two sums we nave not TAKEN lHtO the
account.
We will venture to predict that the actual
revenue from lands and customs, during the
year, will fall short, rather than exceed our
estimate the other items we take the Secre-
tary's own statements for our guide
Now, here is deficiency Of five millions
and quarter and the only provision the
Secretary has made towards meeting it, is
the sale Of one Of the Bank Of the United
States bonds 70 about 80 100000; and he de-
clines accepting the offer for the other of
similar amount, because, il is uncertain
whethcr 10 uih be ,oanted during the current
year - And that too, with three millions
deficiency staring him in the face, after de-
Quoting the amount of the bond which he ne
gotiated the sale Of

WnaL mas MT. van Buren ever done, lnat
any one should resolve to "sink or swim"
with him; and, by so doing, ensure the over
throw and prostration Of the genuine Repub-
lican party! Nothing whatever. Mr.. Van
Buren, has been pensioned upon the public
purse considerable proportion Of his life, in
some shape or another. He has not one
particle of claim on his country's gratitude.
The efforts to re-elect Mr.. Van Buren, will
be attended, we most confidently predict, with
certain defeat.
If our friend of the Enquirer wishes to
save the Republican party then abandon Mr..
Van Buren-abandon the sub Treasury--go
back to ancient landmarks . start again upon
the principles of Jefferson and Madison, as ex-
pounded by them in 1898 and ls0o-bring
forward NEW CANDIDATE, who has never
committed himself to the abominable doc
trines Of the Loco Focos--one who has rem
dered some service to his country, and in
whom the people would repose confidence.
This is the mode, and the only one by which
the Democratic Republican party can avoid
defeat, and prevent the establishment Of a Ma
tonal Bank.
We are now, and have always have been,
asmuch opposed to a National Bank as the editor
of the Enquirer But let us warn him that, as
certain as the issue is made of SUBJ Treasury
or National Bank, so certain the latter will
soon follow and be fastened on the country
Neither the ub-Treasury nor the Special De-
posie scheme, if adopted, would do any thing
towards regulating and equalizing the curren-
cy, and domestic exchanges The people

1hes being our views respcc ing the past,
the inquiry naturally psesents itself. How arc
we TO lrasmit TO posterty, or even secure to our
selves, The rights and privileges we enjoyl This,
VIC think, can be effected only by continuing in
eeneral 10 pursue past policy, rejecting the new
and as we believe dangerous speculations Of visi-
onary theories and political infdels
This paper will act in concert with the demo.
crazy Of the republic In doing so, the publish
ers will have necessarily TO differ in opinion with
those who oppose it. This they willdo fearless
ly, yet candidly; expecting that libcrality and
candor they are willing TO allow to others.
A primary object of the Planter is to furnish
to the friends and supporters of the present adj
ministraton and others, paper in which they
can see reflected without distortion or inuersioI
the passing real scenes of life; embracing the
most interesting topics of the day.
With a view to render the PLANTER worthy
of patronage, and interesting TO all classes, we
will select from the stores of human knowledge
that only which is useful and ornamental; details
of the historan-the results of the experimental
island the illusions OF the novelist and poet
Facts will be stated, and calculations on proba
biities made, so that the events OF yesterday
may become the subjects of reflection to day, ant

wv success that hos attended almost every
IL effort of a literary, liberal, and useful ten
dency in this community, has led 10 pr epc ra tons
for publishing paper in berry, Ante county,

there fore L is our intention, and will he our du-
ty--a nd as such, our pleasure also, to furnish
such authentic historical articles as will be a

know o. the mystic ''ous future, is and must be
derived from the past The same or similar eau
scs produce the same or similer effects: as human
nature is still the same, the past will be our data
History, when we consult its pages, tells Us that
there are brt two great pc teal parties of the
wotld-those that are for a government Of the
people, and those who wish government over
the peop'e:a government of the many, and d
government of the few,--frecdom or bondage
Mans capacity for elf government had been
doubted untl the experiment in America vas

ed and r, e3,ss ambition the most powerful ari-
tators, BON OF men and nations, were directed
against those who labored for its success Wash

With these facts before US, can it be reasonably

TN presenting this Prospectus before
n the public, the publishers have only to
say, that the rapid growth of the town
and improvement Of the country in which
it is to be published, requires the cstab
lishment of a Press; and that their design
is to endeavor to make it subserve the
great objects for which public Journals
should be ablshed--the diffusion of in
telligence and information among the peo-
pie, and vehicle in which opinions and
sentiments may be freely lnterchanged in
whatever relates to the morals, manners,
and political rights ofthe people. AS far
us its Editorial character is concerned. it
will advocate the sentiments and the po-
litical principles for which the individual,
whose name it bears, was SO distinguished,
and resist with reason and argument, as
he did with his sword, the expressions OF
TYRANNY AND DEspoTisM, let them come
in what shape or character, or from what
ever source they may.
