FACTS TO BE CONSIDERED BY THE
PEOPLE,

r
ment were $S7 ,l50,1l6 in single year.
9. All the appropriations for the present
year, under Wing administration, do not ex-
coed SIS ,000,0 00
8. BY the economy, retrcnchment and
rigid accountability introduced by the Wings
into all the Departments of the Government,
the public expenditures have been reduced one
half.

Buren,, the United States marshal Of the State
of Mississippi received $4,000 Tor fees and
emoIuments in one yrar,-the Collector and
District Attorney in New York. each, from
$4,000 TO $4,000 and other officers in pro-
portion.
s. Under Wing administration, none of
these officers, can, under any circumstances,
receive more than So, 900 ayear for his services,
being required by law to pay the overplus
into the Treasury.
q. Under Mr.. Van Buren's administration,
many useless Offices were created and immense
sums Of public money squandered among polt-
zeal avorits in the form OF extra pay and cx-
ira allowances.
7. Under a Wing administration these use
less Offices have been abolished and extra pay"
and extra allowances TO officers of govern
ment been prohibited by law.
8. The Florida war was protracted during
Ihe whole of Mr.. Van Buren's administration
at an expense to the Country of $40, 900 600
g. Under a Wing Administration the Flor
ida war was brought to speedy termination
and this drain upon the Treasury was stopped.
10. Mr.. Van Buren, left our foreign rea-
lions in an unsettled, angry and threatening
condition, and war with England, hanging
over our prospects.
IL. Under a wing administration our diff
cuIlieS with England have been honoraby ad-
justed and beneficial treaty ratified, by which
both Countries have been saved from The hor-
rors Of war and lasting peace established be-
tween Them.
H. Under Wing administration that
great and vital measure the tariff bill, has been
passed, at once supplying the wants of the
Treasury, stopping the foreign drain which
was exausting the life blood uf the Country,
and giving protection TO labor in all its various
branches.
IS. Every wing Member from Congress
from New England voted for the tariff
IA. Every Lucoinco Representative in
Congress from New England bu: one, (Mr.
Parmenter OF Mass voted against the tariff.
10. Our Wing Senator in Congress, Mr..
Huntington, voted for the tariff.
I6. Our Loco Senator, Perry Smith, voted
against the tariff.
II. The wings avow their readiness 10 stand
by the tariff and give the country permanent
system OF projections.
IS. The sthreaen TO throw the
whole question open again, either by repeating
the tariff bill, or 50 modifying and altering il as
will render. the protection 10 northern labor
inadequate.
10. John C. Calhoun, the great free trade
nulliiier is now a prominent candidate of the
Locofoco party for the Presidency, anG is TO re-
ceve the support of that party, if he gets The
nomination of the National Convention.
90 The ruin and distress of the last few
years are the bitter fruits OF LocofDcoism and
are precisely what the Wings predicted would
follow from reckless and wicked legislation.
81 When the wings took possession of the
government the treasury was bankrupt, bust
ness Frustrated, the currency deranged, and
our whole system tottering TO lis fall.
%. Our only hope is in Wing principles
these alone can restore order, revive credit
encourage industry, and provide safe ant
convenient currency.
Let every rejecting man, looking as well tC
the past as TO the future, consider his obliga
tons TO sustain Wing principles.

Two miles from this village, and near the foo

several rods down, overwhelmed him in an OLD
cellar, as above stated. He was found lying

found drawn somewhat close, which may have
