Government.

We we're taught in our earlier days that,
al Good Governments were intended to protect
the rights aud secure the benefits and bless
ings Of life to the governed. But from an ex'
animation Of the Report Of the Secretary Of the
Treasury as recently given in the National In
telligencer. We are almost forced to the conclu'
sion that this beauty of an Administration, has
gone back into the Van Buren track, viz: that
the Government is for itself alone, and the dear
people must take care Of themselves. Fol
that Ofhcsr politely informs the House Of Rep
Feseptatiyes, convened that the further lttl,
sum Of nearly FORTT,Two MILLIONS will be re
CURED in addition to the nineteen millions o
dollars already appropriated for the fiscal yeal
ending the S0:h June l855-making the en-
tire expenses of the Government, for that year
70 amount to more than SIXTY MILLIONS OF DOL
LABS.
These figures seem indeed enormous, and
and doubtless could be lowered by n.any mil.
lions Of dollars, il the government were man
aged in its different depsrtm ents, with more
rigorous and Republicau-like economy. But
30 long as this incongruous mass of materials,
that pfest the atmosphere at Washington city
are held together, by the cohesive power Ol
public plunder, the people cannot expect these
enormous public expenses to lessen.
