should be abolished, yet they have increased the
number of such offices.
They promised to introduce purer men into of
fee yet they have given an especial preference to
pipe layers and others of questionable character,
They promised that the Post Office business
should be better managed, yet it is actually worse
managed.
Taey promised that they would diminish the
public expenditures, yet they have already pro-
posed great increase of those expenses.
They promised to tax the people lightly, yet
they have already proposed great increase of the
taxes.
They promised they would receive in Congress
the petitions which they asserted were wronglully
rejected, yet instead Of rejecting petitions upon
single question only, as was before done, they have
adopted rule for their rejection on every question
whatever, except some three or four.
All this goes 10 show that the celebrated Ro-
man Consul more than two thousand Years ago"
was well acquainted with the nature of whiggery,
and that he was right IN asserting that few things
were more different than the professions of some
men by which they obtained office and their prac-
tees after they had obtained it,-Pennsylranian.

SEVERE BUT JUST REBUKE.

The Federalists in South Scituate, Mass, were
caught in their own trap the other day, by inviting
the Rev. MIR May to deliver discourse on the death
of Gen. Harrison. A correspondent of the Boston
Post says; " lie told them that Gen. Harrison did
not live his appointed time; that no sooner had
those who elected him got through with their re-
joicings, than they beset him by thousands, and
teased him morning, noon, and night, until they
killed the good old man; that all their professions
of attachment to principle and the good of the con-
s'itution and country, were sheer hypocrisy. The
spois of office, it had been proved, he said, had
been their only object, as declared by their oppo-
nents Such horrible scowls and elongaliou of
countenances, were never witnessed here before. "

PROMISE rs. PERFORMANCE.

No party was ever more proiuse in promises
than the wings before the late election, and none
has ever been more meagre in performance.
They promised that as soon AS the result of the
late election was known to be in their favor, bust
ness should become brisk, and the prices Of labor
produce and land should rise. Well, the result
has been known for seven months, yet business has
not been brisk, nor have prices risen.
They promised that prescription for opinions
sake should cease, yet they have displaced more
officers on this ground than any administration ever
did III the same time.
They promised that unnecessary public Offices

Deposites 55,559,92S e3,Osl,365 15,b96,s51
Specie 22,ll49l7 43,937,625 l55

the same time 26a4l53Oo
Increase of the debts of banks, for deposites

Increase of specie in the banks lO,99O,23S
In January, 1887, the circulation of the banks
was $l49, lS5, $50, The general s,oppage was en-
acted in May following, and the contraction pro-
duced by the return of some of the banks TO specie
payments, and the total discredit of Others reduced
the circulation in January, 1910, to $lO6, 96s,572,
