-"RrIRuSosmENr II, Is beautiful TO read the
commentaries Of our much respected brethren Of
the loco foro press about the exiravagant appropu
suons Of the coon. skin Congress itserves per-
pe,ual remembrance ofiha, wan, Of truth, decency
and fairness. which 1sgthntly characerses their
whole political oondoti. II at any time charity
fJr our opponents should &c, the upper hand Of con-
,e,ion, in the mind Of some good a,ured COON the
csse NAV be reversed in a moment by peep into
any one Of iher papers fot he is well assured Of
fading mortal long string Of falsehoods about the
expenditures OF government during The pas, year,
and tabular statements reconcii,bo with nothing
known above-gronnd bu, ioeofoeo,n
The assertion is continually re iieraiej, Iha, the
Wings promised To curtail goyernmen, expenses
down TO l3 millions and ,ha, for the time
already passed its, expenditures have been
greater ;han they were under Mr. Van Buren,. The
"desr people" are shouted to in paGo4ysm Of ago
ny, TO look at the piciure-a picture sketched from
fancy en'ir-l and deluged with oyhor,aions to
pronounce summary condemnation on Whggery.
In the first place, dear ocos, the expenditures Of
government, hare been reduced according TO the
best Information ne can ge,l down to less than two
OF savings made by aboshing offices created under
the Van Buren administration 10 he bestowed as ia,
sinecures upon party fsvorites, AMI in cooking of
the en.,houssndand other lesser blood suckers
upon the treasury, commissioned in he work Of
knsvpry by the late couup, administration
In the second place, tho story abou, reducing 10
II millions never heard OF or thought Of until
after the election OF Gen. Harrison; then pit
ufUl sccundrels whom he had turned on, OF office
because they were too dishonest to be trusted with
;hcir own money, started the now popular story
abou, "Whig promises TO reduce the expenditures
Of government; TO 10 milliors Of dollars No Wig
ever mou,hea such lie or thought Of such an alb
surdiy-never--never since trees began to grow
or water To run. Even had i, been reduced to %
OF 10 millions. these same rancorous indictments
would have been ready to swear an oath as big as
Tyler mas, meeting ,ha; the promise was 10 re-
duec 10 5 OF millions.
Even were il true tina, no re,renchment had been
made, this fusome complaint would come with al
exceedingly bad grace from that party who calm',
looked on when Jackson, who came into office on
mighty ou,cry Of reform, advanced the national eH
pendure from 80 TO - millions and upon Val
