We are toll that the Constitutional Con-
vention and the last Legislature cost $2U0,
600. This looks Ike a big SUN OF money; il
IS BIG sum of money, and the people should
hold their public servants to a strict account
ability for the manner in which it has been
cxpended.-N 4. Ledgsr.
That is precisely what the people intend
doing. They intend to teach the Locofoco
demagogues who squandered away the peo-
les money in the last Legislature and in the
Convention, that they have had their hands
in the Treasury long enough. They 1cilI
hold them to strict accountability for past
misdeeds, or they will be encouraging rascal-
ty.

the East.

The revenue of the United States is main
ly derived from duties upon imports. The
Democratic party contend that those duties
are paid by the consumers of the goods i'm
imported. In this they are right!
Although these duties are chiefly paid in
the Eastern cities, they are always added to
the price of the goods bought there, by. cur
Western merchants, who sell them to us, at
profit on the whole amount. Thus we, the
consumers in the Mississippi valley and Lake
region, become the actual payers of the du-
ties upon thus not less than one-fifth OF the
whole amount of the revenue of the General
Government. We are therefore Justly emit
tied to the expenditure of one-fflh of this
revenue. or at least so much thereof as may
be requisite for every facility of protection
that our channels Of commerce NAV require.
In place of this, we are put off with few pit
tiful Thousands, grudgngly doled out to US,
whilst the remainder of our contribution 70
this joint fund is lavished upon the Eastern
and Southern seaboard. In oil conscience.
we have already borne this long enough But
to be asked at this time a-day to support to
men for President and Vice President, who,
whenever an opportunity has offered, have
not only opposed such pitiiul gratut;es, but
openly profess constitutional scrupIes in oppo-
sltion to granting us any share thereof, it is
too bad-far more than the great valley OF
America will bear, if we aresany Judge of the
pluck of our Western World.
