Business of t:,c Government.

Mr.. Ex-senator Dix, in his Hillsborough
speech, rails against "Whig Extravaganza"
as he calls it. As Congress alone can make
appropriations, and as no money can be dis
bursed without appropriations, it is not clear,
taking for granted all the facts Nv. Dix sets
forth, that Wings are cXtravagant; the in
ference rather being that the majority in the
two Houses of Congress was the extrava-
CANT party. The Committee of Ways and
Means in the House, that originates the APP
preparation bills, is Democratic SIX to three;
and the Finance Committee of the Senate
in the same proportion. Mr.. Houston, of
Alabama. presides over the Ways and
Means in this Congress, and Mr.. Bayly, Of
Virginia, presided over the last. Mr.. Dick
inson was chairman of Finance in the last
Congress; Mr.. Hunter in this. As such
men, in a Democratic Congress, held the
purse-strings, Mr.. Dix will be puzzled to
explain how the Wings got their hands IN,
unless they opened them.
The expenses of the Government have,
no doubt, largely increased; but shat comes
from "war" and 'annexation. California
sucks this year nearly four millions from
the Treasury, which was not part OF the
United States IN Mr.. Folks administration.
New Mexico has to be garrisoned with SOL
diers to preserve it from being over-run by
the Indians. Texas, too, is very eXpen-
sire all along the Rio Grande, and has to
be lined with soldiers. Besides, over two
millions, which in Mr.. Folks day did
not appear as expenses for collecting the
revenue, now figure in the expenses of the
Government, the law having been changed
by the outgoing Congress, when MIR. Polk
was President. Then, again, We have hosts
of "drawbacks" ana duties illegally collect
ed to refund in consequence OF MIR. Walk
er's wrongful Treasury circulars, which
were in the winter of 1851, nu.ihed by the
Supreme Court. Mr.. Dix omiLs all notice
of them.
We venture to say that now, this session
of Congress, if Mr.. Senator Dix will take
the trouble to compare the estimates for APP
preparations with the appropriations, he will
find that Congress has appropriated millions,
yes millions, more thau The Administration
asked for. We have three items in our
ewes this moment of some magnitude: First,
$500 900 for the enlargement of the Capt.
tol second, 100000 for some Choctaw
treaty, (see Deficiency Bill; third, $500
900 extra for the Collins steamers. We
could 90 on, with little trouble, and make
up The millions, and shall take the trouble.

The Kneeling Ca,unny.

The Pittsburg Commercial Journal con-
tains a lengthy letter from Capt. Charles
Navlor who had command of the Penn
sylvania Volunteers engaged in the Mexl-
can war, which most cffactually disposes of
another vile SANDER against Gen. Scott
We make the following extract, which we
commend to the public:
Editor of he Jouraa1:-My attention has
been called to an editorial article in the
Pittsburgh Dispatch of Friday, under the
caption of the "kaeeling story in which
it is stated that the editor has been request
ed TO ask, by one who was through the war,
s:if the Cameron Guards of Harrisburg and
Can't. MAYORS company of Philadelphia,
were not while on main guard duty at ia
lappa) obliged to kneel to the "Host car
ried in a Catholic procession, and ths I'M
der general order issued previous to gen.
eral order No. 297.'
As the Captain Naylor named In this IN
curry, | am asked what have to say upon
the subject, and whether General Scott ev-
er issued an order such as above indicated.
Ny reply is, there was nsrsr such gen.
erdl order. No such order was ever made
known to the army. My company never
was called upon to obey such order. or any
command purporting to be founded on such
order. My company never did kneel to
the procession of the "Host," either by OBJ
legation or otherwise. Gen. Scott never is
sued an order imposing any such obliga-
ton, nor one that would afford any pretext
or excuse to any officer under him for is
SUNG such an order, or imposing snch an
obligation. The whole thing is fabrica-
ton, and is at war with that large, intelli-
cent spirit of charity, SO broadly consider
ate of the rights and sensibilities of all, so
empently Distinguishing Gen. Scott.

Gen. Scott and the Treasury.

II IS very we'll known to the country 'hat
during Gen. Scott's military career OF iorty
years, no question was ever raised concern
ing the justice and fairness OF ms dealings
with the Treasury, and that II any question
is raised NOW upon that point is simply be-
cause of the fact that Gen. Scott is at this
time candidate for the Presidency and
that some of his political opponents, in their
desire to disparage and calumniate him,
have resorted to this mode of unmanly de-
probation.
The movement is failure at the outset.
MIR. Meriwether may take all the credit OF
the step and find himself none the more
respectable on account Of it. :
Was it supposed by any one possessed OF
ordinary judgment and patriotism tha' lhe
account current of one of the first military
men of the age, whose achievements had
shed lustre upon the national fame ana
proves, and were so illustrious as to be be-
yond the recompense of money-was II
supposed by any one that the exhibition OF
the items OF his pay and allowances tor
service of forty years, could be made the
means of degrading his well won glory oy
bringing it into a business schedule OF
profit and loss When England recognizes
such hero in the ranks OF her warriors
she makes Duke of him and lavishes I'M
mense sums for the maintenance OF ms
state, builds palaces for HIM and raises stat
ues in his honor. Witness the magnih-
cence of Blenheim castle and the sums vo-
ted by Parliament to the Duke OF Marlbor-
ough-witness the honors and the endow-
ments conferred upon the Duke OF Wei
lington. Such Acknowledgements are suited
to the genius and form of the British Gov
eminent. We do not desire to see them
initiated here-out what shall we say Of
that miserable spirit of detraction which
seeks to squabble about items of pay allow
cd by law to commander worthy to rank
with Marlborough and Wellington, and
which would delight in withdrawing from
him the just measure Of honor and admira-
ton which the heart of his countrymen are
instinctively prompt to render?
We can discover-at least we think so
in the spirit and style of this sort of war
fare the symptoms of that species of despe-
ration which marks sinking cause. Let
the insane crusade go on. For every cal
umny uttered against Winfield Scott, there
will be retribution forthcoming, The A
mercan people can judge of the services
and character of those who have advanced
the national prosperity and renown, and
will take care to protect their chosen ones
against the assaults of traducers.-BaH. A.
