Expenditures of the Administration.

Perhaps the strongest arguments which De-
mocratic stump speakers in this community use
with those who are comparatively little inform
ed, is the increase of the expenditures of
the present Administration over that of Mr.
Po1K's. To show the utter absurdity, weak
ness, and chicanery if not ignorance, in making
or creating such support for waning Locofo-
coism-not to refer to the fact that the expen-
ses Of every administration must be greater
than the last, to aid the growth and progress
Of the country-we cannot do better, to prove
the flIlacy or malice of such position, than to
adopt the following comments Of Il %cotempora-
~: "Locofoco stump orators look at the sum
total of the expenditures of the Government,
and seeing that the figure is large, forthwith
charge the Wings with a protligatc waste of
the public money. We hardly know of any
thing more senseless than such allegations
Everybody knows, or ought to know, that not
q dollar can be drawn out of the public treasury
save in virtue of an appropriation made by both
Houses Of Congress. The financial estimates
Of the government are scrutiniZed with jealous
vigilance, and the object and purpose of all APP
| preparation scarefu!ly scanned before they are
granted. It is folly to talk about the extrava-
gance of the government, for the government
cannot touch a dime without authority from
Congress.
Ever since the election of 194S. the Demo-
cratic party have had exclusive control in Con-
gress. They hold the purse-strings, and can
open or close them at their pleasure. They
are responsible for the sums voted by them to
maintain the public service. If there has been
extravaganza anywhere, the responsibility de-
wolves on Congress alone. Now we are well
aware that the two last Democratic Congresses
have made appropriations that might justly be
considered extravagant. They have ~squander-
ed heavy sums on special favorites--such as
Richie and Armstrong, and have generally act
ed with such 5oundless profusion as to call
forth the following rebuke from Senator Broad
head, Of Pennsylvania, a ~irst-rate Democrat:
awe have heard a great deal about economy
and reform during this session, and many char
ges have been made against the Wing Admin
%istration for wantonly squandering the public
money. I state tearhssly here that the Senate
Of the United States is the most prodigaI, in the
expenditures Of The public money Of n ydepart
men, Of this Government. Sir, we complain
that this Wing Administration has expended
fifty millions of dollars a year, but to that
the Senate of the United States has added ten
Not only hare me roted freely the fifty
millions Which the Administration has demanded,
but we hare gone beyondH IL"
Not a single dollar of the public money has
been expended by the administration of Willard
Fillmore, that was not clearly and fully called
'or. a large share of the appropriations has
been required to pay the debts saddled upon
he Wings by the Locofoco administration of
K. Polk" l.;

Mdiana.--Near Evansville, 4 noted democrat
at a Wing meeting uttered the following plain
talk to his democratic neighbors: He would
give his reasons for not voting for Pierce.
Simply, said he, because I consider it an insult
by any party to my independence and reason as
4 man, and to The intelligence Of every Demo-
crat, to be asked to vote for a man who has no
earthly recommendation of ability or past ser
vices, and who is utterly unknown, when the
party contains in its body such men as Cass,
Buchanan, &c. | intend for one to resent this.
Scott was fighting the enemies of his country
when we were children, if not before we were
born. Pierce is nobody, and he cant get my
vote.
That's pretty plain talk, and there's some
truth in it. He is the representative of a pretty
large class Of Democrats.--EranSriM (LqA)
Journal.

Truth Appzicabzy Spoken.-The following
from Nay. X Hy's True Issue, is true, every
word of it. He exposes a peculiarly Demo-
cratic trait, which will be fully appreciated by
all who read. We can scarcely pick up a De-
m~ocratic paper at present which has not an eu-
logium of o kind TO Daniel Webster in
particular, for the reason and with the hope that
he may yet be brought forward by disaffected
Wings. Isn't this nauseating? Read what
the Major says:
Circumstances Alter Cuses-- With Bad Pe0-
ple.-ShouId any person unacquainted with the
course pursued by the Locofoco editors, hap
pen to lay their hands upon any of their pa
pers published in this State a year ago, and CO.
pies of a recent date, they would at once con-
clude not only that those papers. had changed
editors, but had actually chSg& completely
from one party to the other. Last year or
month, if you choose, the Locofoco editors de-
nounced Fillmore and Webster as Abolitionlsts,
more base and vile than Giddings or Hale. The
Locofocos throughout the country said Amen
they are Abolitionists; and every little jack
legged pot-house politician grew ridiculously
eloquent in denouncing these men. They then

candidate for the Presidency on the Wing tick
ct. In this they are disappointed. Scott is
the candidate. What say the Locofoco papers
now? Do they call Fillmore or Webster Abo-
~litionists now? o, no. They are now noble
patriots, and eminently deserving of the whole
country's confidence and the nations highest
honors. Winfield Scott is now the Abolition.
list, he being the Wing candidate, and all Wing
candidates for the Presidency, in Locofoco es-
timation, are Abolitionists. Have these editors
changed their real opinions of these men? Did
they then believe what they said? Or did they
belle them Intentionally for political effect ?
They certainly did. The same innate principle
prompts their wicked souls to SANDER General
Scott in the same way. Will the Wings of
Louisiana suffer this thing to be done? Will
they be duped and suffer their candidate to be
falsified? We think not.

Gen. Scoh--The Washington correspon-
dent of the Baltimore Sun, says in his letter of
the 18th inst, Gen. Scott is about to leave the
city for the Blue Lick Springs, in Arkansas, &C
companied by Gen. Wool and Surgeon, Gen.
Lawson. They were to start this morning,
and probably did. Congress directed, at the
late session, that the springs above mentioned
be examined, with a view to their fitness as the
locality of one of the three army asylums pro-
vided for by law, and the board appointed to
make the selection proceed, accordingly, to
make the required examination.

Another Murder in New OrleanS.-"1heatre
Alley" on the opposite corner, has been the
scene Of another murder. The deceased was
named Lloyd, and sold segars in a corner of
the Falcon House; the murderer, Guerrero, had
been employed in the same establishment to
wash tumblers, but was then discharged. The
Picayune of Monday evening says:
Yesterday about 2 o'clock, Guerrero, being
in the Falcon House, observed LLOYD 90 up
stairs, and Immediately went into the kitchen,
in the rear Of the barroom, and took up Il car
wing knife.
Guerrero then sat near the foot of the stairs;
which Lloyd had assembled as if watching for
his return; but Lloyd did not appear, and after
waiting two or three minutes Guerrero went
up stairs. Immediately after loud noises were
heard above, Guerrero exclaimiDg, "you did do
it" Lloyd finally said, "you are a liar" and a
scuftie followed. There was then a rush down
stairs, and Lloyd appeared, making a great out
cry and saying that he was murdered. He stag.
gered through the barroom, with his hands on
his left side; made no reply to some person who
asked, "who the ID killed you % and hav-
ing gained the alley (Which was already made
notorious by a deed of bloody fell down ex-
hausted. A stream ofblood marked his course
through the barroom into the alley. He was
removed to the Charity Hospital by officer
Hunt, of the First District police, and died there
within fifteen minutes after his removal.
Soon after Lloyd fell, Guerrero quietly walk
ed down stairs, having in his hand the bloody
knife, which he handed to the proprietor of the
house, saying: Il killed him, and this is the
knife did it with" Guerrero was then ares
ted by the police, and when asked if he had
killed Lloyd, he laughed and said: ayes" And
in reply to the question, "sVhy he had done it."
he answered: "He told lies that made me lose
my situation, and I killed him for it," He was
then asked if he was not afraid of being hung
or the murder, and he said: "No, for | have but
'ne time to die" On his way to Jail, Guerrero
;poke of the killing Of Lloyd with shameful
nd indecent levity, and affected to laugh at the
port his hanging would afford the public.

UKossuth, at the last accounts, was living
in i private boarding house in one of The back
streets of London. He keeps exceedingly quiet,
and attracts but little attention. Tie police.
however, it is said, are instructed to keen a
sharp eye on his movements. The numerous
French, Italian and Hungarian exiles, now in
London, it is alleged, look with more confidence
to Mazzini than to Kossuth, whose speeches in
the United States served but to put Kings and
Princes on their guard against every attempt at
revolution.
