Expenditures ofthe General Government.
Our readers cannot hut see from The Re
Dor, on the state of the Treasury, submit
ted by Mr.. Cambreleng, that the eSpen-
ditures of the government have been most
lavish, and that they are annually increas-
ing. Appropriations the most useless and
uncalled for, are made every session OF
Congress. 1t seems tha, Congress meets
for little else, than 10 expend as much OF
the public money,as possible. The wings
charge all this wasleful extravaganza to
the Democrats, and they 10 the Wings.
Whatever party may be the cause ofit,whe-
,her Wings, Democrats, Conservatives, or
a combination of all, it is certainly much
to be lamented The people suffer, and
demand reform. That party will de-
serve the gratitude, aud the support of the
whole country, which shall be foremost in
carving out retreuchment, and cutting of
useless expenditures of every description
tphateuer. With an exhausted treasury
with merciless enemy plundering and
numbering our citizens in the South-wi'h
heavy pension list, and numerous ex-
penses. portion Of which are necessary
10 carry on the government, the necessity
of strict economy must be apparent to all.
A letter writer at Washington, short time
since, said that Congress had passed no
bill, except for the payment of lis own
body. Now We did not believe this but
we know that the honorable members al
ways pay themselves rery literally. To
illustrate this we publish the following act:
An Act making appropriations, in part.
for the support Of Government for the year
eighteen hundred and thirty-nine.
B. it enacted by the Senate. and House
Of Representatives. o the United States Of
America in Congress assembled, That the
following sums be. and the same are here
by, appropriated, from any money in the
Treasury. not otherwise appr' prialed. viz:
For pay and mileage of members of
Congress and Delegates, three hundred
and seventy thousand uine hundred and
forty -four dollars;
For pay of the officers and clerks of the
Senate and House of Representatives. for
ty.rhree thousand four hundred dollars:
For stationary, fuel, printing, and all
other incidental and contingent expenses
Of theSenate, thiry-6ve thousand dollars.
For stationary, fuel. printing, and all
other incidental and contingent expenses of
the House of Representatives, ,one hundred
thousand dollars.
The said two sums last mentioned to
be applied to the paymentof the ordinary
expenditures Of the Senate, and House of
Representatives, severally, aud 10 no 9th
er purpose.
Iu making our remarks, we cast no insn-
ualious upon the well-lneaning men of any
party in Congress. There are high-mind
ed aud patriotic members, yet, of the na-
tional Legislature.

"Who hath not felt thy magic power,
Thou soother Of the storms of lief
Who cannot tell the holy hour
Whenrhou didst calm some rising strifel"
Mr.. Eiior,
With much pleasure, | congratulate you
on another return Of the delightful season
of Spring, as it was ushered in, on the
evening Of the lst instant.
On that evening. enjoyed the privilege
of attending Concert of Musician ex-
hibition, given by Professor BACON, of his
class of charming, youns damsels. Never
did music afford such charms! At time
ofthe year, when the ''voice Of he turtle is
heard in the anI," when the sweet song-
sters of the grove, ,sendforth their warblins
notes. and when all nature, by its instinc.
tive power, assumes the beautiful livery
of joyful Spring, how can man, its nobler
head, be insensible to The charms of the
more thrilling music,of the still fairer parl
Of Gods creation?
Had l the power Of description, I might
pretend to describe its effects on the coun-
tenances Of the attentive audience. The
young ladies performed on the Piano, and
Guitar, with ease and elegance; and by
their delicate touch Of The instruments, ac-
companied with their sweetness of voice,
gave to the scene charm, that was ire
sis,able. The Concert was highly credi-
table TO Mr.. B. and his class, and it is
gratifying to US TO learn, that it is 10 he re-
pea,ed monthly. AMATEUR.

extremely docile and gentle, nearly all making

Mr.. Editor.

Mr.. Editor.
In the Debating society of Humbug.
was discussed ou Saturday evening the I'd
inst. the all important question "Wherher
IA cause was an effect. or an effect was
cause" and after much eloquence and close
logic displayed on these two poin's,it was
mooted whethera cause was competent of
itself. TO produce an effect, or an effect was
competent by itself, 10 producea cause, or
finally whether il was, or was not necessa-
ry Tor cause. end effect, TO come together,
so that they might engender each other.
"The poets eye in fine frenzy rolling,
Chances from earth 10 heaven &c"
During mos, animated discussion, some
Gentlemen made discursiue and ercursiue
fights from Cotton tales, into the boundless
realms Of space, and having (when-in the
starry regions) seized comet or two, by
the tail, returned TO earth, without even so
much as having damaged their neither gar
ments. We should be sorry to say. that
their ascent was awkward, like that of the
Turkey Buzzard, or their descent graceful,
like that of Iris on rainbow.
Ultimately after much discussion, the fol-
lowing decision was made viz: that a cause
can produce au effect, but that an effect
cannot produce cause. This decision
being perfectly novel, and the discovery
far transccnding that OF Columbus. it is
requested that the journals of the Uuited
States, will copy the same, for the benefit
of the rising generation, as the earlier aud
more generally, these solemn truths are
promulgated, the better for the interest of
posterity.
The editors will transmit their accounts
to the secretary pro tenn, and charge in pro-
portion 10 the value of The discovery,w hich
will be the easies, way Of llqudatng the
