There 10 o well known adage connecting oOs
and children with the speaking OF truth which,
with some qualifications, has not merely pungency
bot iastice We have a striking example OF this
now before us In the speech OF one w NJ W'eS
Of Indiana In the House on the passage oil the
Army Pay bill. This Wick was formerly NOISY
Wing and is now noisier Loco Foco, noted among
the most reckless and wholehog party men IN
copgress-carrying bis devotion TO Loco Focoifm
10 far as even to pretend some sort OF regard for
James X. Polka depth and blindness Of idostry
which can hardly be paralleled this side Of Tibet

Here we get q glimpse Of the reason why Wars
and Executive usurpatons are so Democratic
Every gross wrong committed by our Rulers pro-
vokes resistance and stimulates party spirit This
We are told, saves the Government from becoming
"a stencil in the worlds nostril" But for this,
Martin Van Buren's Administration might have
been ss corrupt as JANIS MoSRoT'si Nay. as
prodisal, too That would have been horrible in
deed The expenditures Of Monroe's etgh years
lexclusiye OF payments on account Of Public Debt
were slo4 $685. $40 or trae over Thirteen Millions
per annum those OF Van Burens four years, lalso
exclusive of Public Debt were sll2,lsseS2, or a
little over 7wentyset Millions per snnum Such
