extra copies Of this report were printed and cir
culated by Congress. 1t is perused by every
thinking man in the country. What is the
impression that it is intended and calculated to
make Is it not that the Treasury is in con-
dtion to meet the demands upon it ! Is this true!
On this subject, what says the Secretary!
Does he not say, after stating all the items of
receipts,
(Which make the total means in
$40, as ascertaned and esti-
mated, $2S,234,512 90
And then, as to the expenditures,
he adds,
"Making the aggregate ofexpen-
dltures, or payments, $26,643,656 IL
"Leaving an available balance in
the Treasury on 3lst Decem-
Der, $50, computed at 1,590,S56 80
He next proceeds to give the re-
ceipts and expenditures for
the year 1S4l and says there
will be an estimated balance
in the Treasury at the close of
the next year 1S41,) after all
payments whatever, SS24,273
The Secretary then adds:
"Thus it will be seen, that if the whole of
these charges both ordinary and extraordinary
should be required to be extinguished in 1871,
the estimated means will be sufficient for that
purpose, but may not besides leave SO large a
balance in the Treasury as is convenient and
useful
Now in the face of these statements Mr..
Woodbury. asks Congress for fire millions of
dollars in Treasury notes in addition to those in
circulation. disregard all his cantng, whn-
ing explanations or reasons why he wants this
additional sum in paper money. They should

ceptlve and unworthy of confidence As nv
sole object is to call immediate attention to this
subject, will only add a few words.
In my opinion, the Wing members ought to
refuse an increase of this paper money. They
ought to insist upon funding these rags and

II 2 The "Y conan" locofoco paper Of this
Borough, edited by the clique who obtained a
previous pardon from the Veto King Porter,
for all the libels and atrocities committed by
them in Adams county and elsewhere, contains
now and then an article of admirable consisten-
cy. 1t says that the amendment offered by Mr.
Wright, authorizing suit to be brought against
Ovid F. Johnston and James NJ. Porter for the
recovery Of fees illegally Withdrawn from the
Treasury, and which amendment proposed SIM
liar suits against Horace Binney and John Ser
geant, for services specifically defined and au-
thorized by law of 1880, was defeated by the
federaliSts Now the consistency Of the Yeo-
man will be best understood by stating the fact
that when Mr.. Wright (who since he sold him
self TO Governor Porter, has been called Mr..
Wright Wrong offered the amendment, he
called the yeas and nays on its passage, and
no. single member Of the Legislature was
found foolhardy or base enough to vote for it,,
ercept himself And ye, the Yeoman would
convey the impression ,ha, those whom it face

The poor feds are raving a, the loss of their
"spols," and their meanings are heard through
out the land. The most gross and inconsistent
charges are recklessly dealt out against the ad-
ministration, and the whole odium Of the sys-
tenn OF removals is soughtio be directed against
the now dominan, party. The National Intel
llgencer has recently exposed the injustice OF
these attacks, and proves that locofocoism is
not to be beaten in the use of the political gull
loiine, when it is in power. 1t shows that
within few months of the first year of the Jack
son Administration, persons were removed, in
nine,y-nine cases of hundred, merely on ac-
count of their political sentiments from hos,
of Offices, of which the following is but a partial
enumeralon that is TO say
FIFTEEN Ministers Plenipotentary, Charges
d'Afaires, and Secretaries of Legation.
NINE Marshals and FIFTEEN United States
Attorneys.
FoRrY-E1eHT Collectors and Principal Rev
enue officers.
NINE Indian Agents and Navy Agents.
TwENTY-sIx Receivers and Registers of
Land Officers
TwENTY-oNE Consus for foreign ports.
FOUR HUNDRED AND NINETY ONE
Postmasters.
Besides these direct removals from office bv
the Executive, there was a host of removals of
such persons as held office by secondary ap-
pointments, such as clerks, inspectors, &c. in
the Custom-house, whom we have no means of
numbering. give have statement before us,
however, which may afford the reader some
idea of The extent of those removals. In the
Cus'om-house at Boston alone, out of fifiy-eight
