| OF the expenditures OF the administration,
aud il was no, in order TO transcend that
subject in reply.
! Mr.. Bolts here moved, that Mr.. S. be al.
lowed to proceed; the Chair submitted tho
question to the committee, and Mr.. 5. was
allowed to proceed.
| thank the committee for their kindness,
and promise not to abuse it. will be brief,
and will not trespass on the rules, # can
avoid it. | wish only 10 reply 10 remarks
just made.
Now, sir, repeat, that there are men
now in office, in high, responsible, and III.
cratiye Offices too, who were interchangeable,
during the year 1910, in Thanking Extra
Globes, in disseminating handbllls and
pamphlets, containing certificates, that
General Harrison was q coward, and had
approved a law to sell white men as slaves
Gentlemen talk CT wing humbuggery -
! When did the party so shamefulIy violate
oil truth, when we're they so base as TO at.
tempt to humbug the people by such ridicu.
lous charges? Yes, there are men in OF.
fee, whose rooms in tho public buildings
we're constantly appropriated by the Van
Buren, Office holders, for their places OF
meeting, in which they concocted, and
tranked in violation of law, slanderous
charges against General Harrison. Such
men ought TO be dismissed. Before we
can be responsible for the acts of Mr.. Ty.
ler's' administration, no must dismiss cor
rupt and incompetent men from Office
Broken down electIoneeriug partlzans had
been pu. IN office by Mr.. Woodbury., and
they had been thumblng over, with their
greasy hands, the accounts OF Gen. Harri.
son, to find matter for the Globe, until the
accounts had almost been worn out.
Instead of defending such men, gentle.
men ought 10 hang their heads in shame,
especially when some of them, after oppos.
iac both Gen. Harrison and Mr. Tyler, at.
Ter vllilying and denouncng them, had,
since the death of General Harrison, made
their peace by surrcndering, and protesting
a Willingness to support Mr.. Tyler. Such
men deserve the eXecration and contempt
of both parties.
Before proceed to speak of the expen'
ditures Of the year ls4l, and to demon
stratc TO the satisfaction of every candid
mind, that the whig party are not respun'
sible for these expenditures, will call the
attention of the House to unworthy at
lcmpts, made by the late administration
I most especially By tho most distinguished
} of all bIuuderors that ever lived, Lew
Woodbury., TO deceive the people, on thus
subject. say, sir, that the Van Buren ad
, ministration found il necessary TO induce
9 tho country TO believe that they had reduc
0 ed expenditures. In order TO practise TIL.
n deception, 10 appear TO BIO retrenching
4 there was studied effort to postpone sp
j. preparations, 10 cut down estimates, at tn
. early par, Of the session, and afterwards {
: write to committees calling for more mo

# commencement Of the session they wer
G out in public documents. The Presider

d They knew these estimates were delusivt

Ie Let it be remembered, the complain
ID now is, that the expenditures in l64l al
