PROBABILITY OF THE ADMINISTRATIONS
Whom does itbeneJit ?-The expenses ofthe
Federal Government during the last year
were about 80 millions. The Secretary of
the Treasury in his report last winter, esti-
mated the expenses of the current year at
from 80 to 81 milioHs--exclUsive of the
''stealings" ofthe Sub-Treasurers.
What is there to show for this immense
outlay ofpublic money? There are no great
works of general and permanent utility,
Every branch of the public service is in
state Of confusion, dilapidation and decay.
The Army and Navy, those great arms the
national defence, were never, by universal
concession, in worse condition. Officers are
disguised and daily resigning- Notifications
are unnamed, on rcommerce is unprotected
on the seas; while our rights are invaded
and our honor~insulted with impunity by
the British Government, and our powers
defed and our national character furnished
by small band Of Indians on our Southern
border. In the Indian and Land Depart
ments, knavery fourshes like the green bay
tree, and the Post Office Department, under
the management of the immaculate Kendall.
is become six Of inquiry, and in many por-
tons Of the country is justly regarded nu-
isance,
WHAT'S there, we repeat, upon full sur
vey of tho condition of our affairs, TO ifstify
or epcuse the boundless prodigality of the
Administration? Every thing is in worse
condition, than when John Quindy Adams
expended but l3 millions, except, perhaps,
the private fortunes Of the individual Office
holders of nhe government. These alone
have advanced amidst the universal deca-
dence Of public morals and national prosper
Il ty. While every branch Of honest industry
has been depressed, while merchants, me
chancs and farmers have been deivsn to
the wall--while the public service has been
NEGLECTED, aud confded in the hands Of in
competent and corrupt men, the chief ofh-
GERS Of the government, the Kendalls, Blairs
and Van Burens, &c with their friends &C.,
alone have felt no touch Of adversely, and
have amassed mountains ofwealth amidst the
general distress. and they constitute the sol
Iitary class who have derived benefit from the
bis sipation Of IS millions Of tile public mo-
lney per annum. That fact might serve to
indicate the course which much Of the pub
lie money has taken. RicbmoHd tDkig.

Bargain, Intrigue and Corruption.

TIN Globe has at length officially announced. at
Ter good deal Of very shallow and dscred'labe CO.
quoting anil mealy -mou,hedness, that William Sell

the United States, in the place of John Campbell,
superseded. All this had Just as well have been
done six weeks ago, as now. The public had pene-
iaon enough TO see through the iaree OF 'ehuer'og

standing that IL cas TO be refused and SIMPLY Tor the
purpose OF throwing tile hunters upon wrong trail !;
or. TO speak more plainly, with the hope, that
il would destroy the force of the reasoning by
which it can be morally demonstrated that Mr..
Selden's appointment, in fact made before he
resc ned the station Of Register Of the Land Of

he should resign that Office, and embark in con-
test for Congress- with the ,hreadbare hope that his
personal popularity in the district might lead TO the
defeat of,he Wings! Ii was hen said,-and is not
now an after thought, fabricated to fit the event.
that if Mr.. Selden should be defeated in his

Treasurer. He tcaS defeated, End lie now sits in
John Campbell's seat-The "bargan' is ratified

people. invariably bask in the sunshine Of Execu-
tive favor That the Administration was conscious
Of its guilt in this particular instance is appa-
rent from the fact that it shrunk from the prompt

Something Ne,c.-In the last Huntsville Democrat

Van Buren,, President of the United States OLA

Alabama, asking " His Democratic Majesty" ito
which title he has ust much right as that of

Hagner the Third Auditor in the Treasury Depart

these 2i5 biood-hrsty Alabama democrats know
aoy thing personally of Peter Hagner, very clear
that this movement is regulated by wheel within

eminent is hereafter 20 be marked by and
odons feature. The people are to be made
the osensble butchers of those who will not barter
the r principles for bread and the President, in ex
the agent of the popular will--another Robesplerre

ington, when they desire victim, have only to in
dictate their purpose TO some sarap in the Provinces
and petitions enough will soon flow in for his reno
val ; and thus Executive vengeance will be cloak
ed under a seeming loyalty TO public opinion. This
voice from Jackson, Alabama, is only the echo fthe
clamor long since heard in the streets Of Washing
ton. The decapitation OF Mr. Ilagner has been de-
chorus Of the pack OF boodhounds who have been put
in motion, TO pass sentence upon the victims We
