Our readers win see ihai, 70 make up
ibis large sum, the csndid and ruih-lOv-
ing editor Of The Standard has lugged in
The i. Loan Bill" an act passed 10 provide
the sum Of 100000 Of dollars TO pay
the debts contracted during Mr.. Van Blu
ren's administration, and 10 replenish an
exhausted treasury; which is not an sap
preparation in itself, but an act 10 pro-
vide The means Of paymen. for approPria-
tons otherwise made. So also with the
item Of s5l2,6s7, ito aid and keep up
The Post Office Department." il being the
amount which that department was found
TO be in debt on the 4lh Of March last, be-
yond is ordinary means. The " statue
Of Washington" is an expense incurred
BY former administration, and therefore
canno, properly be charged 70 the sex
srayagance" Of this. II the Wing Con-
gress has refused to expend the pro-
ceeds Of the sales Of the Public Lands"
but on the contrary has rclinquished them
to the use Of the States, that item also
should be deducted.
But there is another huge sum; sixteen
millions Of dollars for the capital Of new
United States Bank, which the Wings
did not make. We recollect the time
when ], was fashionable for Loco Foco
politicians hereabouis TO advocate the doc
,rine that the Government should hold the
stock Of the banks, and thereby open a
source of profit which would relieve the
people from taxes; and one popular lead
or of the party in this county even pro-
posed a United States Bank with capi-
tal of one hundred millions Of dollars, iro
thirds Of which should belong to the Co
vernment. On this ground. then, the
Wings might be excused, even II they
had made the appropriation. Bot as the
act did not pass into law, the aPPropri-
ton ras not made, and therefore must be
deducted from the Standards thirty-six
millions.
Let us now see how the account will
stand.
