To understand the comparative expenditures of
this Government, it will be necessary to bear in
mind the changes that the laws have made in the
mode Of registering the expenditures from year to
year. Prior 70 June 30, l549, the expenses Of col
ecting the revenue from customs, lands debenture
bonds, refunding duties, &c, were never register
ed in the annual expenditures, but tho cost Of col
octing the alone for the first time, OF late

Now, Mr.. Chairman, come to the expenses of
the quartermaster'1 department, for which there

at the threshold beg the House to remember, that
every cent of deficiency here comes from cutting
down the estimates last year $2,3l5, 900, for the

them. and sympathized for the time being, with
the indignant remarks which heard from gentle
men upon all sides of the House respecting them.

fact, that since IS45, the time from which these

Mexican war, we may be said to have had but one
United States. one Republic; we have now, as it

added to US territory twice as large the old

Now, Mr.. Chairman, TO stop all party camor, l
have compiled for my use an estimate of the ex-
penses of the Florida war, TO be compared if me-
cessary, with the expense of these numerous Indian
wars now on our hands. But before make the
comparison, wish to remark, that if any man fan
cies this country is in peace with the savage
tribes around us, he but indulges in fancy. 1t is
state Of actual war wherever you go, amongst the
western savages beyond the settlements. The cav
age is fighting not only for life, for existence
but for home-and for his last home, too. He
knows, as well as you do, that you have sbut him
out from the Pacific, and that he can go Wcst no
further. He knows, we'll you do, that his
march is no longer eastward, but that he is in the
heart OF your territory now, with the columns Of
emigration pressing him upon every side. He
stands not ready. as heretofore, to face you with
formidable numbers in battle array; but, with tho
tomahawk, he cunningy waits for an opportunity
to scalp you and your children, who may be emf
row to pierce you. or in stealth to creep upon and
piunder you. War, war exists with the savage on
every side. There were in Florida, during the
Florida war, 1t is believed not over 100 Indians,
with q few negroes.
