The PenI,nife Story.

AS this seems be the main issue, with the wings,
in the political contest far as Indiana is concerned,
we desire 10 into which we fell as to the
amount Of stationery fund allowed each member We
referred to the laws of 1S42 reeoecting at the
time that the amount was increased the suggestion
of the Committee of WAYS and Means in the last Con-
gress Il was small matter compared with the mil
lions voted away in exIravagant expenditures to beauy
the city Of Washington and to pamper an overgrown
and useless army navy and diplomatic corps and we
paid but little attention the amount, recoectng very
well that when we settled account, found that
we had overdrawn about four dollars which we paid out
of our private funds So much for the stationery and
penknife story. There single wing who was
so conscientious to refuse his portion, and we never
knew but single member Of the Indiana Legislature
who refused the public stationery during the ses
sion, and he was a democrat Since this question OF
extravaganza in the expenditure of the public moneys
is to be agtated, we will give one or two instances OF
wing economy, and also whig extravaganza.
AT the extra session of 1s41 the wings organized
committee retrenehment. This committee visited
the Custom Houses in Philadelphia and New York,
fine dinners and drank good wine, at the expense Of
Uncle Sam, and after long sitting, they made q
report reducing the pay of the orphan boys who acted
as pages about the capital reducing their number and
uniting the amount OF
their own pay milage and finally requiring Jenny
Maher the public gardener instead of feeding the grass
he cut from the public grounds to his cow, to advertise
and sell it at public auction This, Jenny, hon.
est man. faithfully carried out and the result that
the advertisement cost the four dollars and
the hay sold for tiee dollars and forty So muc
Cor wing economy and whig retrenchment.
During the administration of Mr.. Polk there was less
money drawn from the treasury for the contingent
penses of the departments than had been during
previous administration for many years. Mr. Polk was
manof plain and simple manners always advocating
strict economy in the public expenditures and privately
living in plain and simple style When Gen. Taylor
into Office and installed wing cabinet there
complete renovation Of the public Offices. The
plain furniture taken and replaced with costly
and extravagant articles Mr. Buchanan, Of the State
Department, was a bachelor, and always lived in
style becoming his position wealthy gentleman o
the Pennsylvania school, His in the State Depart
ment was handsomely furnished-much better than any
Of the cabinet ministers. When John NJ Clayton, the
wing Secretary took his place. he removed this furniture
and added the following articles, which we copy from
the annual report of the contingent expenses Of the
State Department The is small, say twenty fee
square, with small consultation room, perhaps half a
large. After copying the bill have nothing say
about extravaganza The articles speak for themselves

Judge Douglass.

1t will be observed by reference communication pub
shed another column that the writer has taken ground
favor of the above named gentleman, for the Presiden
cy. The writer's opinions entitled to respectful con
sderaon from the fact that he does seek to advance
the political prospects OF his avorte candidate by en-
deavoring to prejudice the claims OF any other OF the
distinguished Democrats who have been spoken OF In
the same connection.
We have noticed the political course of Senator Doug
lass for the last fifteen years, and candidy say, that
has commanded our admiration, and elected our ap-
plause. In vain may search this Union to
find sound unwavering and consistent Democrat,
wiser sagacIOus statesman or purer patriot.
When the effort was made in Washington last winter to
up party, under the style of the Union Par
y, Senator Douglass spurned the proposal made to him
to sign the pledge, stating that the Democratic party
good enough Union party for him. and so long as
plank in the platform of that party remained, he
should stand upon it if he had stand alone and if
every other Senator should sign the pledge he would
not. His confidence in the correctness and infallbiy
of the Democratic principle is firmly fixed, that it
be shaken by the ntrgues of faction the
cenary designs of demagogues and IT is wonder that
he is popular with his party Tor while they see MOTH
ing in his conduct censure they find much that
bile and magnanmous to admire. Considering the state
Of the country and the position of parties we know Of
better adapted for the crisis than Senator Doug
lass and while desire to see him selected
ddate for the Presidency, and would yield him cordial
support we not so unmndiu Of our duty, that we
would not he equally jealous for the success OF the
nominee of the national convention, should the choice
fall on another.-Craagfordsvi Rerier.
