The Charlotte journal. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1835-1851, 1842-05-12
HENRY CLAY, of Kentucky.
MIR. HENRY-AeAlN.

In preparing our article last week for
the press we omitted to notice several
subjects for the want Of room, TO which the
attention Of the public was drawn by Mr.
Henry.
In remarking upon the charge of ex-
travagance brought against Mr.. Van Bu-
rcn's Administration by the Wings, he
stated that there never was an adminictra-
ton SO vilifcd and abused as his was,
Nnile at the same time it was actually
curtailing the expenditures Of the Govern
ment and had reduced them TO S22, $780,
coo. His reading this account from a
Wing Document as he called it was
calculated 10 carry the impression to every
nuns mind that it was true--and it was
true as far as it went, but he does not tell
how this reduction took place. Well, we
will try and let the Wings at least into the
secret. During the last year Of Van Bu-
ren's administration, 1s30-i0, during the
passage of the appropriation bill, Congress,
"a Van Buren, majority no doubt for po-
itical effect, VESTED THE EXTRAORDINARY
AUTHORITY IN THE PREsIpNT OF TUE Uni.
TED STATES TO POSTPONE LARGE APPRo
PRIATIoNs JUST MADE FOR THE MILITARY
SERVICE AND FOR FoRTIFIcATIoNs. IF THE
ExIGENcIEs OF THE TREASURY Required
IT, So il will appear that instead Of a re-
trenchment in the expenditures Of the Gov
ernmens being effected, it was the suspen-
sion Of the national works, so as TO enable
this abused administration to come be-
fore the people in the election of 1910
with some appearance Of economy and
retrenchment. But to show still farther
that there was very little retrenchment in
the management of the Government, we
make the following extract from Speech
of Mr.. Preston, in the Senate during last
month. He says:
"Bnt. Mr.. President, hold in my hand the off
cial reports Of his frHgalty, made from the Sena
/ tor from Now Hampshire when he was Secretary
| | read from II the aggregate amounts
The Charlotte journal. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1835-1851, 1842-05-12

/ peached for violating any part of the Con-
stiiulion, maladministration and corruption.
Ii would then seem, that strange anom-
ally is presented ola ministerial officer who
cannot be reached by law, for an omission
of duty. Again under The existing law,
the Governor appoints, under and with the
advice Of his Council, the members Of the
two Boards. Among other powers confer
red by The 10Th section of the Constitution,
is the power to pardon and reprieve. From
the very association Of the Boards, their
acts are joint. Suppose violation, mal-ad-
mstratiou or corruption by the members
they have the pardonlng power among
them, by which they may escape punish
ment, aud set the law at defiance"
Mr.. Henry had not the liberality TO
read this part of the report although he
had it before him, but stated that the OBJ
jet of the Committee in uniting the two
Boards was because the duties was "whol-
" incompatible with the dignity and con-
sttutional functions of coordinate branch
Of the government and he took up the
argument of the committee as his own,
relative to the danger TO be apprehended
if the board should form collision, and
the Governor having The pardoning power
they could set the law at defiance.
He wanted TO enlist the sympathy of his
hearers in favor of the borrowers of this
money, because the Legislature had or
dered lis collection. Are they entitled 10
much sympathy-why u person would
suppose that "a Jackson-Nan Buren, man
would not ask to be favored, they having
sustained the doctrine that "those uho
trade on borrowed capital ought to break )"
the money was loaned only for six months.
The report states that each member of
the two boards are entitled to So per day
and travelling expenses paid-ihe expense
then TO the State would be something over
Sl9 per day, and as the bonds were to be
renewed sem-annually calculation is ca
silly made of the probable expense Of the
two boards. Now, as far as we can form
an opinion from the whole tenor Of the re-
port, the committee were governed by the
best interests of the State, and Mr.. Henry
is the last man in the world we should think
who would wish TO be troubled in renewing
bonds, for if we mistake not he likes the
oiium cum digiatate as well as the next
man.
We may refer to the speech again.
