governmentin in debt, but "by tariff which they
put in operation, raised revenue during that
time, to greater amount than all the appropria-
tions made" What is the evidence Of this'
By refence to the report of the Secretary Of the
Treasury, we find that the total expenditures for
the year ls4l, were - 1872, 2,092 ,724 O5
1912, 32,39s ,9O6 81
Total expenditures for two years 64,49l $50 SO
We find by reference to the
same document, that the receipts
from duties on merchandise were
for the year 1s4l $l4 ,4sl ,997 sS
1912 1916 ,720 76=32, ,65s, ,7i8 GA
Leaving deficiency to be provi-
ded for by other means of 3l,832,9l 81
To meet this deficiency the gov.
ernment raised by loans and
treasury notes for the two years
the sum of 28,468 ,053 OF
The balance being made up byreceipts from pub
lie lands, &c.
The whole amount raised from loans and treasu-
ry notes during the whole four years of Mr. Van
Buren's administration was $25, ,l66 633 73
The amount of payments on ac-
count of the old debt, treasury
notes and interest, during the same
four years was 20,s32, ,115 80
The statement of the Chronicle that the whig
tariff raised revenue more than sufficient to meet
all the appropriations is only equalled in alsty by
the statement of coon stumper at our last court,
that the ordinary expenses of the government were
four millions per annum less, under Mr. Tyler's
administration, than they were under Mr. Van
Buren's; which according to his statement would
be saving to the country during Tyler's term of
l6 millions, which he claimed as being the result
of whig legislation. The fact is that no calculation
made from any authentic public document, will
furnish this result. Taking the whole expendi-
lures Of the government, both ordinary and tempo
rary the difference in the annual expenditure is but
little million; and it, as the gentlemen stated,
the Florida War cost fifty millions, then he fails in
sustaining the truth of his statement by over forty
Jfue millions. The gentleman complained of the
"enormous expenditure" ofthe Florida War; this
is only in keeping with the federal party. Ever
since the formation of this government they have
complained ofthe "enormous" expenditures of the
Wars. Not only the war of the revolution, but
the late war, in their opinion cost too much.

The PRESIDENTIAL ELEcTIoN.-Through
the Union we observe that both the grea, po.
litical parties are preparing for the canvass Of
Al, and both with quite as much interest, as
they manifested in 40. To the people this
election is one Of importance, not only SO far
as the principles Of party are concerned but in
tho great exerlions that are making by both,
We would be led to believe that the coming
election was 10 decide the fate of the Republic,
and thai the result would declare whether the
Goveramen, was hereafter TO be as il formerly
has been or whether i, would be an aristocrat-
ical establishment without vestage of its for

can-principles founded upos justice, and all

Though we are. 10 some extent, interested,

though politicians declare it ofrifai importance.
whether one party or the other be the domin-
ant. So far in our Territorial history. appro o.
priations have been made as well under one
Administration as another and we presume the
same will still be the case. Then why need
we be anxious as TO the RESULT Our pay will
not be stopped-we have our thousands Of men
scattered over the whole 20 States to DO duty
ior US, and they will surely do good service
