PATRIOTISM

An honest sub TreasN er.-The N. C
True American gives the following ac
count of the trial Of Mr.. Cannon, charged
by the Goyernnent with dclalcation:
ave afs informed that the suit agaip
Maurice Cannon, formerly ReceigeH.sf taeI
Public Munexs in this city, was tried on
Monday last, ii the u. S. District Court
presided by Judge Lawrence: The Jury,
after thoroughly investigating the accounts
between the Government and Mr.. Cams
acquitted the latter of all Indebtedness. II
will be remembered that Mr.. Cannon was
reported by the Secretary of the Treasury,
as deiaulter to a very large sum more
than 500 600 we believe. Itnow turns
out that no such sum is due, nay, not one
cent. Well, who has the money? Levi
Woodbury., or some of his creditors, or
clerks, no doubt. A transcript Of Mr..
Cannon's account, sent from the Treasury
Office, was read on the trial. L. bears
evidence on its face Of the most shameful
inaccuracv, neglect, and false charging.
Sums paid out by Me-. Cannon, by direct
orders from the Department, were not
credited to HIM depositcs made, and which
have been used by the Department, are
also uncredited. The great object Of &C.
countants in /. Washington, seems 70 be ID
show the funds Of the Government TO be in
any other hands but their own.
AT the next Congress a now vein must
be opened--we must see how much-money
Levi himself has pocketed, and withwh,ch
he thinks proper to charge others. But
what is most Vexations, IS TO see an in
nocent sub-treasurer (sofare, precious and
wonderful creature1 harrussed with suits
by his ungr deful Government. Moreover.
we are told that he was.sued, without any
previous amicabe demand, or direct in.
formation of the balance against him. An
exception TO the suit was talenr on that the
law enacted, that a suit,should b instituted
only when a party refuses or heglects to
pay balance reported against him, shall be
sued, &c. Mr.. Cannon says that he never
neglected OF refused to pay FOR no demand
was ever made, and consequently the neg
lect was on the other side. He has re-
ceiVed no communicatiOnsf from the Irea.
sury department, though its books 2 year,
ago, showed a balance against him of200
600 dollafs But this IS not ALI: Mr.
Cannon intends to move for new trial
with a hope Of goring the Government Ok
for he asserts that there IS a balance Ia IA
favor, amounting d. several hundred dol
lars.

GOVERNMENT ExPENsEs.-The Democrat
says the official report Of the Clerk Of the
House Of Representatives, a. 70 the amount d
the appropriations for the support Of Govern
ment for the present year is false and states
that some items mentioned il that report are
erroneous By being placed down forthe support
of Government when it ought not TO be. The
loco focos may pirate Of their economy and
charge falsehood to official reports but, it viii
be Of no avail. THfgTv-sIx MILLION Eight
HUNDRED AND SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
,oere appropriated to carry On.the various de-
partnents Of government at the last session o
congress. Only tHirsesn million were required
by Mr.. Adams administration for The SANE
purposes ten years ago, and the appropriation
of that sum was called extravaganza. If an
expenditure of thirteen million is called ex-
travagant, what term may we not apply to an
administration that spends nearly tbtrty-seren
million

The Wings carried the day BY an

of which there was no choice. The
