MR. .EWING's CLERICAL ERRORS

Mr. .EWING's CLERICAL ERRORS
Since the fedsralstS eame into pow
or, it has been their constant effort TO Gre
ate the impression that tho late adminiS-
tration left the treasury in very smbar-
rasssd condition, and that there now exists
necessity of funding a permanent
national debt, the darling object offodeT-
all SIN; the odium Of the creation ofWhich
was thus TO be cast upon MrVSu Burenb
administration, while the few who now
rule at Washington Wels to derive from
it all the advantages which such'a debt
confsrS upon those who control it. 1t will
be recollscted that We some weeks since
published Mr.. Woodbury's statement of
the condition of the finances at the close
of the late administration, and that a
great discrepancy appeared between this
plain statement and the representation oi
the state of the treasury contained in
President Tyler's message, which was
published in the same paper. A doubt
might have naturally arisen as to
which was wrong; for both could not b'
right. The following explanation will
serve 10 remove at least some of thai
doubt. The statement in the Message
was derived from Mr.. Ewing's report,-
which contained the same "clerical er'
rors," as the Secretary Of the Treasury
calls them. A special call was made by
the Senate upon the Secretary for 1
monthly statement, which was according.
ly made out, but without correction o
theses'clerical errors.n Mr.. Woodbury.
has effectually shown up the numerous
misstatelnents of Mr.. Ewing and drawr
: from him the following apology for on
of the "errors of the clerk" by which tn
e debt is increased more than half mil
+ ionby one item alone.

with the resolution of the
Senate, directing the Secretary of the
Treasury TO "lay before the Senate a
statement of the amounts of money re-
ceived in each of the months Of March,
April, and May last, from customs, and
ther Sources" &c. Ihavo to state that as
clerical error occurred, which, in the
hurry Of business, escaped my nSticO,
and which | take the earliest opportunl
ty TO correct.
Certain payments made by the Bank Of
the United States on account ofths War
Department in the west, in lS40,not haV'
ing been entered on the books of this De-
partment until March, lS4l, should have
been included in the receipts Of that
month. This was inadvertently omitted
to be done, although the amount was
included in the expenditure of that month
With this correction, the amount received
in March, 1S4l, will be $l,709, 1876 4S in
stead of $4,000, as stated in the
