To-day, at two o'clock, Mr. Webster delivers
another speech at Jamaica, Long Island, on the pre-

Wriy ht addresses the democracy of Brooklyn, on
the same subject, in reply to MIR. Webster. We
have made arrangements to report and publish the
speeches of both these men, in our paper to-mor-

Mr.. Webster's Patchogue speech-but the truth is,
Mr. Webster was never reported till he fell into the
hands of the Herald. So prepare for another intel

THE STANDING ARMY.

Tho Secretary of War has written letter, try =
ing to absolve Mr.. Van Buren, from the odium Of

Van Buren, said in his last message:

l'ense. He never proposed to voIn the consii.
tulion and give tie President control over an i'm

NATIONAL EXPENDITURES.

In letter from tho city Of Washington, some
iirnc in May last, the editor Of this oaper alluded
To un extraordinary eIeconeerng document, got
up through the combiDed ingenuity Of Messrs
Benton and Woodbury.. and particularly designed
To defend this Observation-Disclosures most exrava-
giant, the most dishonest, aud The mosl corrupt, as
it is, OF any that has ever been IN ower-lron

tanned in that letter, we will proceed TO give The
document in question and to show, from the oy-
dcnce which they themse yes put INFO this case,
that the men in power nre guilty of violating their
most solemn pledges, and of utterly abandoning
the main measure, upon the strength which they
cumo into power in 1929. Before doing this,
however, let us state II few facts, the most Of
which came within our own observation. By Il
resolution of The Senate OF the 9th Of April lust,
the Secretary of the Treasury was directed to re-
port the expenditures from lS24t to $50 inclusive,
in'colnibns; one including aud another excluding
the public debt, and another giving "ihe perma-
nent and ordinary expenses = and also 10 report
the amount expended under certain heads of ex-
pendiiurc, all OF which were duly set forth in the
resolution. In short, the Secretary of the Treas.
ury himself had got plan Z" cut and dried" ex-
pressly intended for the party eeciioncerers, and
The Senate merely acted as n sort of endorser, 10
usher il into existence, and give to IL the conse-
quence of an official legislative document. On
