in consequence OF the astounding disclosures

this table, and exhaust the whole list Of their
mos, approved anaihamas, and smar,ly curse !,

them mischief
But every honest man, whatever sentiments
he may entertain in politics, oanno, fail OF de
irving important information upon a truly I'M
porfom matter at a mos, 'mporfsnt moment. -
Every such man should daily take himself tn
task with a Political Catechism--a series Of
questions and answers, and see il he can ar
rive at any more orthodox conclusion, than
that there has been most unparalleled squan-
dcring Of public money during Mr.. Van Blu
rens three years administration. II is no,

"hdrd currency" and that the "yclow- boys"
should peep out Of the silken purse in every

Well, the u s. Bank was dorn'd. and the

handled much; but the "yellow boys" never
show'J their heads but once, and that was
just proceeding an important election, when
the Congressman were paid off in gold and
silver for the purpose of buying them over to

In order to obtain a more concise view OF
the relative amounts ofmoney which has been
consumed under the several administrations
we will indulge a comparison, in round num-
bers and if the reviewer is not perfectly as
to nished at the discrepancy, he has no bump
of nlarvelousness in his Uranium.
The following sums are the proportonate
amounts consumed per term
Washington spent at about the rate Of sever
and two thirds millions of dollars John Ad-
ans, twenty-one and half-milions. Jeffer
son, twenty and one-half millions Madison
+ carrying on the last War with Great Britain
seveDty-two and one-fourth millions. Monroe
forry-eight millions. J. q. Adams, fifty anc
one half millions. Jackson, seventy three
millions. Martin Van Buren,, al time uher

The Table alluded to, let it be remembered

so purports, and it is undoubtedly faithful
compilation, for it challenges impeachment II
