EXPENSES OF MARTIN Van BUREN's ApMIsIsrRA-
TIoN.-The Wings continue to tell falsehoods about
the expenses of Mr.. Van Buren's Administration.
These ialsehoods have been often refuted, that it
is only necessary to cali public attention to the facts
to show the utter recklessness and audacty of the
Wing oratoIs and presses
We presume the testimony of Mr.. Ewing, the first
Secretary of the Treasury under Mr. Tyler, will
be disputed in this matter. In reply 10 a call from
Congress, he put down the whole expenditures of Mr..
Van Buren's Administration as follows:
