Here. you will observe Mr.. Chair
man: Congress made an appropriation
for repairs Of the Presidents House,
and the money has been applied to
purchase manure to fertilize his potato
and cabbage beds. Congress made an
appropriation for sapeTinteadence Of
the grounds, and the money has been
expended, not in OUerseeiRg the
grounds, hut the purchase Of large
daily roses, verbenas, and petunias.
Seli-respect forbids me to denounce,
in suitable terms, these petty acts oil
meanness and palpable breaches oil
official duty. Be assured, however,
that the officer who is not faithful over
small things will not be faithful over
greater things. And now, Mr.. Chair
man, having takenapromenade through
the Presidents garden and grounds

OF In our next we shall review, at
greater length than we have space for to-
day, the doings of the partizans of Van
Buren, in this city on Saturday. We
are sorry the gentlemen who figured on
that occasion should presume the people
do not know that the Sub Treasury OF
Van Buren, and the Royal Banks of Rus.
STA, Denmark, Sweden and France
which they preached SO much about on
that occasion, and which we learn consti
tuted their text whilst travelling through
the county, are identical-one and tho
same in character.

When the Hon. TN. TUCKER closed
his speech at the Court House in this place
on last Saturday, he said that the Demo.

favor of National Bank, nor Sub. Trea-
sury Bank: We were present and asked
him if he would tell whether the democrat
ic party were in favor of Banks at all or
not, his reply was that he was IN favor Of
'gold and silver currency"-and was
mum on the main question. Now we do
not ask the gentleman in relation TO him.
SELF we knew has sentiments before, al.
though he has had a great deal to do with
banks-but we wished for the people tC

MIR. OGLE'S SPEECH.

We commence to-day the publication
of the speech of Mr.. OGLE, of Pcnnsylva-
MIA, in the House of Representatives, April
IA, 184O, on the bill making appropria-
tons for the civil and diplomatic expenses
of the Government, &C., and we do hope
that ecery man will read it, attentively,
and then circulate each number of the pa
per among his neighbors, as it makes
strange developments concerning the ex-
travagance of Mr.. Van Buren, personally,
and his piofiga;e waste of the money of
the people for that which is absolutely un-
necessary, uncalled for. and which he
has no right TO procure. The items and
expenditures are taken from documents =
vouchers are on file in the proper Depart
ments and are undeniable. We shall
continue it from week TO week until the
whole is published.

A signal re6uke to iasOlence and pre-.
sumptuous Interference Nth the rights Of
The peOpze.-It is worthy of remark, and
speaks with a voice of thunder, that where
the great battle was fought by Genl.
Jackson and after that individual had been
dragged to New. Orleans last winter for
the purpose of influencing the elections
which have Just taken place in Louisiana,
a wing victory was gained by not only an
overwhelming majority-but by an in
creased majority of more than 600 votes
since 1888.

The Democrat says that the Robt. Dale
Owen whose address he published week

many others--there is but one Robert Dale

We this day issue Prospectus for the
7th volume ofthe SOUTHERN ARGUS,
to commence on the 22d day of Septem-
Der next; and for the purpose Of obtaining
wider circulation, as well as to conform
to the nature of the times. which seem to
be pressing every thing downward, we
have greatly reduced the subscription
price; which will place it in the power Of
every man in the country and that without
taxing too heavily his family, to receive
and read an interesting and useful neUS-
PaPer--for such the publisher designs to
make (which will enable him to obtain
that information concerning public meas
ures, and matters in general which it is
confidently believed, in this country at tie
present time, is TO the interest of every

AS the 7th volume will not commence
before September and there is much o
deep interest to be read, consequent upor

in November, subscriptions will no,O bt

The following article on the late riots
in New York is enough TO sadden the
heart of every freeman. We thank God
that scenes Of like atrocious character
have not yet, and we hope never will be
recorded against any of the cities or towns
of the great west. We knew that there
had been an alarming deterioration of the
public morals in the city OF New York,
in consequence ofthe prevalence of Fanny
Wrightism, but we confess that we were
not prepared to hear Of such practical and
gross illustrations Of her doctrines as are
embodied in the picture before us. Nor.
bid indeed must be the public conscience,
lift will remain quiescent under such fla
grant and monstrous innovations upon the
sanctuary of home sweet home.
THE LATE RloTs AND THE TRAGEDY.--
We have purposely abstained heretofore,
from any comment on the late deplorable
occurrences which our caption indicates,
because we would express no opinion,
