The extravaganza of the Wing party,
says the \ O Crescent, SIS one of the stand
ling subjects Of democratic eloquence and
Idenunciation. Before every Presidential

!locofocism TEEN with accounts of the prodi-
'galty of the Whig party and the bankrupt
Icy to which it is leading the nation. On
the contrary, democratic economy cannot be
sufficiently eulogized and commended
This does very well as long as it is confined
to stump oratory. When the matter is drawn
out into the daylight and fairly investiga-
tied, it is always found that the spendthrifts
'are the very ones so fond of accusing their
3neighbors The Administrations which
plunge the nation in debt are democratic.-
Those which eztricate it from both debt and
: difficulty, and set it on the fair road to pros
perity, are Whig. Without going farther
] into the past than the Administration OF
Polk, we respectfully request the preachers
] ef national economy to compare the fuan-
cial affairs of the Republic, at the close Of
) his term, with the same affairs at the close
] Of Fillmore's Administration President
! Polk left the nation over head and shoulders
| in debt-with all increased national debt,
J a large floating debt, debt due to Mexico
J Jand another due to Texas. President Fill
more leaves the Executive with the floating .
debt entirely cancelled; the debt to Mexico
.paid; that due Texas liquidated; the national
debt largely reduced, and twenty-three mil
lions of dollars as a surplus Ia the treasury.
This sum seems SO enormous to the new Ad-
yministration, and the duty of spending it SO
! imperative and so difficult. that they are en-
deavoring to provoke another war for the
purpose of rendering the labor lighter. We
have no doubt they'll succeed in making
] way with it"
