cannot blame US for treating them with courtesy

acting with Us now--supporting the same men,

and opposing the laliiudinous doctrines Of the

as they are for brilliant talents and exalted moral

For Conerea-A G. BEows s j. THoNFsos.
The article copied inlo the last Argus from the
National InieIIigencer, beaded the National
,rp,nd.furss,' IS calculated, and was, no doubt,
iaisndsd to produce an erroneous impression.-
In, seunningly devised" to impose upon the
uowary. From a cursory examination Of II, one
would be led to suppose that the amount Of ex-
psnd,ures under the last and present admnlsira-
lions 4 some eighteen or twenty millions more
than j, was uadsr Mr. Adams administration, for
II, sam, purposes. Nothing can be more IN
founded than such 4 supposI'ion. The Secretary
Of the Treasury, IN his reply to the resolution OF
The House Of Representatives, SIMPLY states The
gross amount Of expenditures Of the U. States
FOR each year from 1924 TO 1897, Inclusive
lie vas not called upon to specify what these ex-
pendiures were for, whether for ordinary or ex
traordinary purposes. Had he been called on TO
make such spec hcauons, he would have shown
that the inGRase IN the annual amount Of sxPend.
lures during the last and present administrations
was owing to extraordinary causes, which did not
exis, under the administration Of MIR Adams
Some of the causes were the wars with Black
Hawk, and the Semnoles, the Disturbances on
our northern frontier, the purchase Of the Indian
ands and their removal west Of the Mississippi,
&c. &c. To charge extravaganza upon Mr.
Van Buren's or Gen. Jackson's administration,
on uccoun, of these items Of expenditure, would
be as unjust as would similar charge against
Mr. Madison for the expenses Of the war of 1912.
We admit ika, Congress has made many extra
VACANT and useless appropriations during lev
years past But these appropriations as thu
journals show, were, in almost every instance
brought forward and supported by wings, anC
carried by whg votes
