VAN BUREN, REFORM.

While John Quincy Adams was Presi
dent, the average annual expenditures ofthc
Government were Si2 650478. This was
such an exhorbitant amount IN the eStlma-
ton OF his opponents. that Mr. Benton OBJ
tanned a special committee IN the Senate, OF
which he was chairman and Mr.. Van Bu
rem a member, to investigate the sources OF
Executive patronage, and to report any ex
cesses. Well, the committee rummaged ev-
cry dep arm ent, fingered every leaf OF the
Blue Book came to the solemn conclusion
thai the officers of government were too
numerous, ard the Executive patronage
dangerous to public liberty. The Custom
House Of u. York was taken specially In
hand, as fearful engine Its officers. In
cluding the collector, the report of the Ben
ton committee stated at ia with an aggre-
gate salary of Sll9,082, being an average
of about S673 per each individual. This
was a proof of extravagance which opened
the eyes of the country. and had no small
influence in defeating the re election OF Mr..
Adams.
About ten years after the report was
made MIR. Van Buren. a member OF the
committee denouncing the machinery OF the
G. ustom House at New York, was elected
President, and went to work, on true demo
cratic principles to reform the abuses of
that establishment. In one year he reduced
the number of officers from ia to Ala and
reduced their aggregate salaries from Sl19,-
0S2 to S409 669. reduced the average from
673 to SlOI4 for'each individual. This is
the kind of Reform Mir. Van Buren, carried
out in his administration, He reformed an
evil, but by increasing it two fold. On this
salutarv principle, SO venera.ed by all good
Van Buren Democrats, be reduced the ex-
penses of the Government from the high
point of l2.650.47S. fixed by Mr.. Adams
as an average during his term, to The trifling
sum up $50 396. 800 TO the average during
Mr.. Van Buren's term; thus if illustra-
ting the skill of a democratic Presi.
dent is sacing to the people S22,745 $50
by taking that much annually out of
their pockets, over and above the amount
required under Mr. Adams administra-
ton. This is genuine Van Buren E.
economy; his idea of tightening the burth-
ems of the people is to withdraw money
from their pockets. He practised the ex-
pertinent once-that was his fault: II be
does il again, that will be the fault of the
people. Mr.. Tazewell said the same thing
generally. of Mr. Van Buren. and remaI ka-
bic to say supported him in iS40.
We have other chapters In reserve, ex-
hibiting the marvellous economy of MIR.
Van Buren in more things than the Custom
House. As the hords of office seekers and
expectants of office are determined to thrust
him third time upon the suffrages of the
people for the Presidency, we shall refer to
evidence to show that he is not trust worthy.
except to reward his followers with the
honors and treasure of the country. with
out the least disposition on his part to pro-
mote any interest but thar of his party

Take piece of chalk about the size of a

powder into quart bottle; pour common
vinegar into the bottle until the effervescence
prevents your pouring more. and having the
horse ready) drench him with it. But liz

and the party, who should attempt t.
: disturb it. before it had fulfilled it
purpose. He was right in what h,
said; he could not have said more, no
should he have said less.
Here we would enquire CT the Ga
: zelte how it is, that the tariff bill, re
ported from the committee on WAY.
and Means, on the 9th of March, By
M; Mckay, of the House Of Repre-
sentatves, levies all ad ualorem dot,
OF 80 per cent, if the Compromise Act
bound us to duty of 20 per cent 3
How is II, we ask that the guarantee,
is thus violated by the loco foco com.
mittee! Again, we would ask, if the
loco focos have always shown such
zeal IN support of the compromise, as
the Gazette would lead us to believe ?
Have they been willing to restrict the
scale OF duties to 20 per cent ad valo.
rem? Not they. Once more do we
appeal to the record. On the 25lh OF
Feb. 1887. the following proceedings
were had in the Senate
"The bill SENATE. l76) to alter and
amend the several acts imposing duties
on imports, having been reported by
the committee correctly engrossed, was

Clay to rccommit with instructions,

'chich at present pay duty equal to

1t was determined in tho negative,
