Preparations from such objects us he pleased, and
to select at his discretion the objects upon which
money should be appended. Entire authority
was thus given to Inc President over all these ex-
penditures in direct oontravention OF that povls'
ion OF the Constitution iorbidding all expendi-
ture, except by virtue of appropriations which
II it mean any thing, must mean the specification
Of distinct sums for distinct purposes.
In this way, then, it is proposed TO keep back
from indispensable works four and half millions,
which are, nevertheless, appropriated, and which,
with five millions of Treasury notes already issu-
ed, will constitute debt of from nine TO Ten mil
lions.
So then, when General Harrison shall succeed
in March next, to the Presidential chair, all that
he will inherit from his predecessors besides
their brilliant example - will he these Treasury
vaults and snies, without dollar in them, and a

The whole revenue policy Of this Adminislrn-
ton has been founded in error. While duties are
laid on articles ofdaily and necessity, articles
OF luxury are admitted free of duty. Look at the
Custom House returns, Sl0000,000 worth ofsi
imported in year Tree OF duty, and other arti-
clcs ulluxury in proportion, that should be made
to contribute 10 the revenue.

EHMALOR EATON- -

This distinguished gentleman stopped in our
city, last evening, OH his way to Tennessee. lie
was waited upon by large number of our ct-
zens who were anxious TO pay their respects TO a
man whose name has been so conspicuous in a.
tnerian politics. He was The biographer of Gen.
Jackson and was member of his first Cabinet.
lie had since been Minister to Spain and has now
recently returned. He is decidedly for Harrison,
and that loo ADORE atFisguiSe He made a short,
off hand address 30 large assembage collected
to hear him at the LOG CABIN 1t seemed 10 tell
with great effect upon his audience, and he was
frequently greeted with most decided manifesto
tons of applause.
to said lie was always republican, and spoke
of the warm and firm attachment he had al
ways felt aud still feels for Cen Jackson. He
spoke ct the prosperity q the country when he
left it four years ago-oithe change that has come
over it since. lie alluded to the Standing Army
project anti-republicah and dnngerous-an and
of the coalition between Van Buren, aud Calhoun
in terms of disirust and disapprubntiou. He also
spoke of the Tariff and United Suites Bank, and
said Gen. Harrison occupies precisely The same
ground in relation TO the latter, that President
Madison did. lie said he in the U. 5. SEN
ate when John Randolph charged Harrison with
federalism, and heard Harrison promptly repeI
the churge-that if he had not heard The charge
reftited, us he did, he should not have taken Ran
dophs werd rs authority in such II case.
lie said he was glad to see The people deter
miued. TO "ren in" the present Administration in
lis wild career. He said he should support Gen.
Harrison because he thought him the most repub.
lican, and because a reform is needed in the Ad-
niuist alton OF The General Government. lie was
decidedly for II ''change."
We have but briefly alluded to the subjects OF
his speech, without being able To do more Al pres

PRACTICAL DEMOCRACY,

There is one point in the history of that gray.

al grandeur, sublmiiy, and republican simplicity,
IS scarce equdlted in The annals ofime! a point or

Now what say you, my friends what will the
farmer of New York, of Pennsy lvania, and New
England say, 10 the idea of walking on Sunday to
church at the head of his family, in his jacket
ttco ytarS old! What will the young man say,
when,his work ended, he desires to visit the fam
lilies Of his neghbors, 10 the one pair of pania-
looms, not quite TWO years old indced but, as the
farmers shy of colt, coming two next grass, and
which for 10 months have done yeoman's SER
vice? Away with it all-away with this plan for
humblng and degrading the free, intelligent, well
educated and well paid laborer OF the United
States TO the level Of the almost brute labor OF
Europe.
There is not much danger that schemes and
doctrines, such as these, shall find favor with The
people. They understand their own interest too

often trouble my nelghbors, nor they me, with
conversation on politics. II happened, however,
about three weeks ago, that on such AN excursion
ms have mentioned, with one man only with me,
mentioned this doctrine of the reduction OF pri-
ces, and asked him his opinion of it,
He said he did not like it. ! replied, the wages
of labor, it is true, are reduced but then -four aud
beef and perhaps clothing, all Of which you buy,
are reduced also What Then can he your obec-
lions /? Why, said he, it is true that the flour is
now low; but them is an article that may rise
suddenly, by means Of scanly crop in England
or at home; aud if should rise FROM five dollars

the price Of my labor up with it. But while wa
ges are high, then am safe, aud il produce chan.
ces to TALL so much the better for me. But there
is another thing / have but one thing to sell, that
is my labor: but | must buy many things-not
only -four and meat, and clothing; but also some
articles that come from Other countries a little
sugar, little coffee, little tea, little of the
common spices, and such like.
Now, do not see how these foreign articles
will be brought down, by reducing wages at home
and before the price is brought down of the
only thing have to sell, want to be sure that tine
prices will also fall, not of a part, but OF all the
things which we must buy.
