ed party questions Of the day. n
When however facts touching the State
expenditures come to the knowledge OF
thcpublic of 50 glring a characteisss to
leave no right-miudcd person any ground
of justification or pretence for apology, the
PLAIN and candid expression Of what every
honest man must think and feel, cannot be
objectionable to any one, Such case is,
I think, presented in a late disclosure re-
ypecting one efdhc new hnatic asylupss,
j t;tke the 6facts to be as copied below be-
cause I have seen a censurc of the bill
pronounced scurrilous, but without any de-
uial Of tAe facts.
In the appropriation bill for 1855 is the
following: "For bcdstcads, beds, bed
"ding, chairs, tables, table ware, kitchen
"utcnsils, and salaries of physicians, and
attendants, aud for medicines, instFu-
"mchts, provision, fuel, and labor, the sum
"of twenty-five tlcssand dollars each, fox
"tlo lunatic asylum at Dayton and New
"burgh.'
Under this appropriation sundry bills
for furniture for the lunatic asylum at Day.
