Whilst we are scanning the most prominent facts in
Mr.. Van Bureus political history, cannot refrain
from submitting 10 the consideration of the Conyen
tlon the utter iaacy and hoownrss of ali his proes
sIons of devotion the creed of the Democratic faith
Was IL Democratic To voie for the Tariff IN
its most ojious and repusive forms Is il De-
mocrac lis ii consistent with Democratic principles
that lie should Increase the expenses OF the Govern
ment than 81 millions or dollars per year,
when the fact rrrversbly established that fifteen
millions Of dollars ~! conduct lis operations with vi.o
and facility '''-Repor Of General Committee Of the
Wing State Convention winch nominated Governor
Morehcnd in l-l0
Not only have the expenses Of the Government not
been reduced, but we have shown from public docu.
ments that the Wing Secretary of the Navy proposes
to increase the expenses in his department aloe,
" million Of dollars. The list of officers in the Navy
has been greatly increased adding thousands Of dol
lars TO the sum necessary 10 support the Navy.
What is than all, the Wing chairman of the
Finance Committee OF the Senate in his speech on the
Treasury note BILL made calculation showing that
the national debt at the end of the present year, would
be seventeen millions Of dollars. MIR. Van Buren, left
n debt of only five six millions, can be shown
upon Wing authority.
Although this is not directly pledge to administer
the Government upon SI5,000000, yet certainly it is
natural TO conclude aud the people did conclude, that
the party who abused Mr. Van Buren, for exrava.
gance, would reduce the expenses Of the Government
down TO the amount which they said would conduct its
operations.
Here is the great Wing State Convention of 1910,
declaring that "the fact has been rreversbly esab-
lshed, that fifteen millions will conduct the operations
the Government with vigor and facility" And here,
in o4 and ~, is Henry Clay backed by the whole
Wing party saying that the taxes Gil imported goods,
(among which the necrssaries of iiir,) must be
raised So 10 produce twenty six millions, (nearly
twice the amonn) for the support at The Government.
And what did the President, Mr.. Tyler, say he ex-
pended carrying on The Government from Attn March,
