expenditure of the public money, except In
the purchase of a '5iiiiard table for the Pre-
sident's house, and an expenditure of $4,000
of the public money, for the purchase of a
splendid carriage and horses and other artl-
Giles for private use" Is this controverted
by Duane! Does he make any ~allusion to
it! think not: then it is assumed to be true,
and Mr.. Adams stands charged an ackaort-
edged defaulter, or misuser of the public mo-
ney. The next statement of "Cincinnatus'
is, that during "the administration Of Messrs'
Adams and Clay, there was no war with
hostile Indian tribes within our W borders.
No removal of a savage foe from the bosom
of a white population west of the Mississip-
pi river. to call for an unusual expenditure Of
the public money! Is this denied by Duane?
Is it attempted 10 be disproved? 1t is not:
| therefore conclude that, by him it is acknow-
lodged that the expenditure of S22,50I,737,
II. by the administrations of Genl. Jackson
and Mr.. Van Buren, for the removal Of In
dams, and the prosecution of the Indian wars
is one of the causes which did not call for an
unusual expenditure of the public money du-
ring Mr.. Adams administration. A distin-
guished individual speaking upon this subject
observes, that this item of expenditure is
nearly connected with the purchase of lands
from The Indians. at had grown up of late,
and was directed TO the good Of the states.
In 1924 it was nothing; in 1889 it was ST.
1856, 9l4. In the three preceding years it
was respectively in round numbers, S6,OO0,-
900, S6,5oo,oo0, S5.5oo,OOO. This is one

DR.. FRANxLrN's OPINION OF NEWSPAPERS,
81 positively never knew a man in the
country who was too poor to take a newspa-
per. Yet two out of three, even respecta-
BILE people, read no papers but what they
borrow. As speak generally, l hope l Of
fend none. i'll do, the greater the necessity
to speak out. Every man is able convenient
ly, to take a weekly newspaper. How many
who think themselves too poor to take a pa
per, pay as much daily for drink! Miserable
man, thou art poor indecdr

Ham TINES! H.nD Trxrs!!-Throughout our
county from the Atlantic Ocean to the Rocky
Mountains, and from Maine to Louisiana, we hear
the complaint Of hard times. This spirit of muir.
muring is not confined to a small lumber, but has
deeply engrafted itself on the body politick. Many
persous have forgotten the distress Of antecedent
times, and imagine that the present pressure exceeds
any that has preceded IL in the history Of our repub-
lie. To so great an extent has thi, impression pre-
vailed, that there j, evinced BY many persons a mo-
nomania which will not permit them to scan the pre-
sent condition Of our country, with an unprejudiced
eye. Our brethren of the quill are not without fault
in this matter. Many of them for the purpose ofpo-
litical effect, have made Misrepresentation, and have
thereby successfully gnlled the multitude. And to
SO great an extent have political fraud and fanata-
cism advanced, that means the most u~ncommendable
have been brought into rrqnisition BY those who
should have been beacon' in our political horiron.-
In reading over our exchange papers, we see that ma
ny editors represent the brute creation and inanimate
nature as sympathisins with our country. II the
above was applicable alone to the Liiputian part Of
the press, the stigma would not be so deeply inscribed
on the Dag OF national horror. The first men in con-
neIion with the press in our county engage in ihi,
deteriorating course. Oh shame. where is thy blush!
Oh, America! where is Thy gloryl But to return to
the subject Of hard times. Are the present time,
tight! Doubtless they are. Are they more difficult
than they have been ut a1y previous period! No
Let US take an impartial view Of our union at the
time of the existence Of the United States Bank
10 the year Of 1919, three years subseq uent to the
charter OF that institution, our whole financial econo-
my was dersnged and the country thrown into con-
t~ortion. OF distress. At that period John Tyler, Zone
Of the Candidates for Vice Pre.ident) .aid in speech
in congress, that the hank had not answered the OBJ
Of its creation, had forfeited its charter, and that
scire fieias should be issued against it and the
charter returned to the government. Many person,
well recollect the difficulties Of 1919. In 1924 Mr..
Clay in speech in congress deplored the condition Of
the country, and declared that the products Of hu.-
bandy were laid up in the garner without a market.
Remember, this wa, eight years subsequent to the
charter OF the United States Bank. In 500 time.
were very tight, and the product, of labor much
lower than at present. From the above you wilt
perceive VIC had hard times during the existence
Of the National Bank. Mimouriansto you we appeal.
What was the average price you obtained for the
products OF your labor during the existence OF the
Bank OF the United States, was it a, great ms il i.
now! II you are candid you will answer no.

HEAVY CHARGEs.-The Argus OF this NOR
ming charges in direct terms that a "combi-
nation Of political desperadoes made an at
tack on the Argus establishment for the pur-
pose Of dssassindting all concerned in it," that
" Federal r%uffians, in pursuance OF their W
regularly. formed plot, murdcrously assaulted
the proprietor" Of the Argus; that there ex-
listed n ~"preconcericd scheme, on the part of
a vile and despicable faction to shoot or 9th.
cruise murder the proprietor and editor Of
the Argus" and that "mean, shufIling
knaves stood behind the curtain prompting
and approving of the deed"
These are distinct charges OF a conspiracy
to commit the most outrageous felony known
to the law and the blacklist crime Of which
man is capable. The charges are, that mur-
der was premeditated; and murder, of not n
single person. but Of all iniuentially connect
ed with a newspaper establishment!
Good God! has it come TO this Is il true that
such a dark and dannable conspiracy-which
is not only punishable by the laws, but which
is revolving TO humaniiy-and would rend
asunder the ties, which bind men in society--is
it true that such Conspiracy has been set
on foot in st. Louis. II it be true, what a
reflection upon the good name and fame of
St. Louis! What mus, strangers-what must
our eastern friends--think Of the character
of our population, ifsuch a conspiracy could
be supposed probable; and that the recent
abominable outrage, committed on Mr.. Davis,
should be considered rs the fruit of it! Cool,
dark, deliberate, premeditated murder! and
a deep and damnable conspiracy to bring
about that murder!
No raprohato tho rooopt o,ts,o. -.
offence against God and man; and all its al
ders and abettors deserve punishment. But
we did not-we could not-regard it as
'premedtatef' murder, (supposing of course
the blows should prove fatally But if it be a
fact that evidence exists going to prove the
fact of conspiracy {, commu murder, then
we are willing TO say we are mistaken; and
we should be among the first to de-.
mand the exhibition OF the proofs. If those
proofs exist, let them be made use of.
And we now directly address ourselves to
JOHN BENT, Esq, the Circuit Attorney, for
the body of the County Of st. Louis, and
request him to take official cognizance Of the
publications in the Argus.
We address ourselves to the several Jus.
tees of the peace for this County and request
them also to take cognizance in like manner.
If such conspiracy ever existed here, they,
or ONE one Of them, should apply to the
Editor of the Argus and require the names of
the persons implicated in this conspiracy.
Under our laws, a conspiracy to commit a
felony, even If no felony be committed, is pun
ishable. Let then the dark and malignant
plotters in this foul and murderous conspiracy
be ierreted out and dragged to the light OIL
day. Our community will support the prose-
cutlon OF such a search; for they will wipe
on the stain, from the general character of
our population, Of having any, the smallest,
disposition to countenance deeds of violence
and blood; or any conspiracy TO bring about
