Edmund Burke once said that the inf u
ence of the democratic branch Of the Eng.
lsh legislature, the House of Commons,
had only been maintained by their power
over the public purse, by the fact that n
penny Of The public could not ngh,fully be
paid ou, but agreeably TO their order, and
with tl,eir consent. The consideration Of
this principle az true ofa COVE nment, &no
doub, dictated the provision of our Cons:i.
tuition that :" No money shall be drawn from
the treas ny, bit in consequence Of sppro-
pria,ons made by law.'' This provision, il
is said, the whg leaders design to construe
literally in favor Of their party and them
selves. Bebb, it is said, will be governor,
will appoint Senator, Judges, &c.; Woods
as Auditor, will levy taAes and appropriate
them as he sees FL, and Bliss will pay on
Woods warrant, without amy appropriation
made by law! The Wing leaders having
the Office of State in their control, think
they can get along we'll enongh without .
Legislature, until by force and fraud they
can get convenient tools for their purpose.
This state of things at Columbus, induced
Mr.. Archibold 10 offer in the Senate reso-
luton, to the effect that the Auditor Of
State has no power under any valid or con-
- a =
slitulional law to fix the amount Of State
tax, or take money without appropriation
from the Treasury for any purposes, and
that the County Treasures ough. not 10 pay
the State Taxes into The Treasury, in order
TO prevent their being usedby tho Auditor
without appropriation. The resolution cre-
atcd some discussion, but was finally mega
lived by a vote Of 33 TO 6. The we'll
founded suspicion, from tho character Of
Bebb g. Woods at least, thai constitutional
scruples will not deter them from any
stretch Of power that may serve party, no
doubt caused The resolution 10 be offered.
And il is important 10 know how Tar the
peoples taxes are within, the control Of Off,
GERS not contemplated by tho constitution,
and who are comparatively beyond the reach

Mr.. Owens Speech.

We heard but little Of the speech OF
Mr.. Owen, on Saturday last but that
which we did hear was unworthy ''ihe
pride of the democracy Of Indiana and
'.thc rpest scholar in the State" So fal
as we heard him. he INDUCED in misrep'
give an instance: lie said Wig meet.
ing had been held in the city Of Charles
ton, $. c., which nominated Taylor and
Butler-t!iat notice Of this fact was Sent
to Gen. Taylor, who accepted the nomi-
nation-tliat Gen. Taylor had thus rcpu.
dated Mr.. Fillmore, and if he. (Owen)
were a Wing he would not vote for man
who was ashamed OF his party. No such
Wing meeting was ever held! The meet
ing referred to was composed OF large
majority Of locofocos who had determn.
cd not to vote for Cass, but were wiling
to vote for Taylor. lie said nothing about
the meeting which was held few days
after by the "Old Hunkers' with Calhoun
as their speaker, in which it was declared
that both Csss and Taylor were unworthy
the support Of South Carolinians. lie
said nothing about the organ Of Calhoun
having since come out for Cass and But
Ter, declaring that the vote Of that State
would be given to the nominees Of the
Baltimore Convention.
Mr.. Owen said when this letter Of Gen
Taylor, accepting the nomination referred
to. was received at Albany, New York, a
Wing meeting was held, and Taylor dc.
nounced &c. lie said not one word about
a subsequent meeting held in The same
place, in which the same men who had
gotten up the previous meeting. declared
that they had done so under misappre.
hension of the facts, and that they were
for Taylor and Fillmore. Amorc enthu
siastc meeting is said never to have been
held in that city, and that the Wings are as
united in the support of Taylor and
Fillmore as they have heretofore been
Much Of Mr.. Owen speech was spent in
attempting to prove that Gen. Taylor had
slandered the end regiment Of Indiana
MALTA. This portion of the speech w
did not hear, but if he confined himsel
to the facts as they exist, he failed to con
vict Gen. Taylor Of saying any thing tina
was not endorsed by Gen. Lane. Gen. Tay
Tor even apologised for the course ofthe enc
Regiment. while Lane denounced a por
ton Of il. Where this matter is understood
there is no feeling against Gen. Taylor.
No one who has examined the reports mad,
TO Gen. Taylor and his subsequent de
clarations, can, for one moment impute I,
him any disposition TO SANDER the On,
regiment Of Indiana MALTA.
