after deducliug the sum produced by the
Wing taril on Injuries, and the s. i21,.
I'll expended before The ith Of March by
tie r,ioc;,d ADMINISTRATION, amounted to
sl3. 900 600. Add to this the cash on
hand 10 the Treasury, $500, 900, and we
have tue sum of Sl3, s62 ,U55, as the whole
amount which arose from all the sources
PROVIDED by that Administration.
How, thru, stands the account The
administration Of Mr.. Van Buren, left the
Government liable for the sum OF SIS 065,,

TO pay il amounted TO $l3,SG2 ,055, which
subtrac;ed from the liabilities, leaves an eX.

ton. I.stus n0te see how the account stands,
+ Mr.. Van Buren,, when he came into pow.

{ this, leaving the Government involved,

+ S2i 203 1923. Putting them together the
surplus spcn, and the debt left, we have the
vast sum Of 500 ,i37 SAB. We are there
fore brought TO the startling conclusion
that if Mr.. Van Buren, had como into Of
fec as most Of the Presidents did, without
any surplus on hand, he would have LETT
the Government fifty millions IN debt
Whether gentlemen attribute this to his
extravaganza, or simply TO h,s bad man

They must come 10 one Of these conclusions
