THE PUBLIC EXPENDITURES.

The Opposition Press having recently revived the
complaint of extravaganza in the expenditures Of
the present administration Of the National Govern
ment, we disproye the charge by repubhshing from
the National Lteligencer OF the 3lst OF March the
suboined editorial article, in which its fallacy was
at that time so conclusively demonstrated by evil
dence derived from the public record as at once to
silence the cayling Of our political adyersaries on
this subject. But the complaint having now been
renewed. we content ourselves for the present by
reproducing the article
FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENcER OF MARCH 81 1852.
In the discussions which have taken place. in the
papers and elsewhere on the financial question,
tempt has been made to hold the present Administration
responsible for alleged large increase of the Expendi
lures of the Government With the growth Of the Govern
men and the additional cost of governing newly acquired
and distant territories it could well be otherwise than
that the expenses Of the Government must be somewhat
increased but not to any thing like the amount at which
it has been stated as, for example, in the Union of
few days ago. in which the expenditures of Government
were charged have reached fifty two millions of dollars
instead of the millions which they had reached
ut one period Of the Van Buren, Administration.
Let briefly anayze this sweeping charge 1t not
true in the first place. that the expenditures of the Gov
last year amounted high fifty millions. In
large expenditure however few millions more
less would by persons be thought to make little diff
ference But the actual payments during the year amount
ed to only ortyeght millions Of dollars instead Of fifty
two millions, Cor fifty millions, estimated by others
will be by the following statement made up from
authentic materials
