FOR THE ENQUIRER.


-Cd'sens-The time has very nearly arrived.
when by the Constitution Of the State we shall all be-
called upon to decide, whom will have to represen,
our distr let in The coming Legislature Let our personal
feelings be as they may, we compelled by our SOL
emn oaths to cast our ballots for such person as we
shall judge will act for the best &c neral good of the
whole In making this selection, we naturally inquire
for man who is not only honest, but capable; one who
not only has the disposition to do that which shall
conduce most efectually to the general welfare of
ALL but qualified in all situations to act well his part
We do not in our remarks wish in any manner 10
"exenuate, or aught set down in malice" against the
opposition candidate it will sufficiently answer opr
purpose to say that he il, 10 all ntens and purposes
a party man, a whole party man, and we had almos.
said, nothing but party man. We ask, then. will
you by your votes assist to place such man in DOW.
er! Will you trust your best interests in the hands Of
one governed entirely by narrow selfish party views.
one who has no will of his own 7 Reason and com.
mon sense answer, No!
On the other hand, in the selection Of JOHN Bucx.
rNGHAM Esq. OF WATERFOWL we are presented with
Farmer, plain and practical; man of sterling intec-
rity and unbiased judgment; man who has, from
MS youth, as 1t were, been in the confidence Of his
native townsmen. held all the important offices ,has

sustained him. In addition, he last year was the sue.
cessfu candidate for the same Office to which he has
again been nominated. We think there are mono
who voted for him last year-none who had half an.
eye upon the proceedings Of the last Legislature but
will bear US on: in saying that there was not among
that honorable body one who was more attentive to
his duty. and faithful to his post-none more sagacious
and scrutnizng, and yet candid and unbiased in alt
his decisions-none who gave more universal salts
faction to bis constituents than John Buckingham
Let US then, one and all, come noby to the work;
let us each lift as If the whole weight Of the District
lay upon alone-each act as If upon our ballot de-
pended the safety and success Of the Wing cause in
the 10th District, and all will be WELL Thus feel and
thus act, and we shall again be represented by man
who is and ever has been, honor to the County,
honor to the 10Th District and truly an honor to old

1t is claimed by the administration party that il 10
the increase the population Of the country which
has increased the expenditures Of government Isl
so? Suppose that the population of the United States
has increased half within the last ten years-and
that the government expenditures have increased in
the same ratio, which would in fact amount to the
addition Of six million, five hundred thousand dollars,
to thirteen millions of dollars, which was the largest
expenditure during any year Of the administra-
ton Of John @. Adams and which would give to the
present administration for its annual expenditures the
sum Of nineteen million five hundred thousand dol
lars This sum sub,racted from the actual expendi-
lures Of the government for the last year (which
p,ounts to forty milons) would leave the enormous
- million FIVE hnndrod thouaa nj 1olIar-
which iftheir claim amounts to any thing the govern
ment has most unwarantably and most unaccounta,
bly, expended.
There are but few who can form any thing like
correct idea Of this immense sum-which has hn;Ss
outrageousy squandered by the present ten
hours to the day-and supposing that he counts one
hundred per minute And if an individual should at
tempt to CONT dollar by dollar the Of twenty mill
lions. he would be employed every day in the year.
