edges that the last Legislature appropriated Sixty
THOUSAND DOLLARS to pay for the public printing =
The Courier sthe public printer. Any other printer
in the State would have willingly done all the work
for less than eight thousand dollars
Increased expenditures for printing equal to
900 per centum per annum, excluding the ex-
traordinary charge of $4,000 for the unne-
cessary publication of swamp lands. This sum
of 81 900 is said to be (on democratic au-
thority but about one-third of the sum charged
by the public printers, and for which they will
in all probability demand and receive OF the
state the remaining two-thirds Of $4,000, to
which they were, Or conceived themselves,
properly entitled. zfa yrEl sa vl.@.r i g@'
The expenditures Of l846 are unusually large

the Louisiana bank, and of other stocks, to the
amount of $2,669 ,982 12. greaa5 4aG7 =.

tS "The infant on first opening his eyes ought to
see his country, and to the hour of his death
never to lose 81 ght of it," This was the noble
sentiment of Rousseau, a sentiment which met
with a sympathetic response in every patriotic
heart. Butnow. here in the United States, SO
accustomed are many of the demagogue politi-
clans to fawn upon and latter the large foreign
element, the lessons of our hearts, and our
fathers to be obliterated, and we learn that the
men whose homes and kindred are in Europe
love the stranger land equally as deyotedly
as the native American; that the men who can
not otspeak our language will east as enlightened
vote as native! A degenerate son of the
United States may be taught this unpatriotie
lesson by the unscrupulous demagogue; but
foreigners will spurn the idea that they are un-
true to the land of their birth. They love it
now the more intensely because they are abb
sent fromtit; they daily sing its national songs.
and nightly dream of the scenes and home OF
their youth. They would be false to the best
impulses Of the human heart else. And those
persons, the natives of this country by the ac-
cident of BIRTH who talk SO glibely about the
love of country, as if it could be changed dali
ly and hourly, are incapable of approaching
the noble sentiment Of the French philosopher.
