| Tho n. Y. Sun, becoming indignant over this
statement, very justly remarks: f-,is p
ssThs statement does not include tho whole Of
the expenditures authorized during the session.
The great number of contingent objects Of expea-
diturc, of which the sums were unascertained and
could not be specified, may swell tho total OF tho
expenses of the year to scventy6ve or eighty mil
lions Of dollars. The expenses of Government
will necessarily increase with the growth of tho
country, but Congress has recently manifested q
perfect mania in the creation Of Offices and the
lavish expenditure Of tho public money. oi1''
'sWith the increase d expenditures of theC
raj Government the ccntral:zing tendency Is
Strengthening, and the simple and economical sys-
tenn of administration which characterized the
Repuclic, is almost entirely rcvolntionized. The
rost-o Office Department has grasped patronage
of nearly eleven millions of dollars; the annual
expenses of an army which is almost useless, il
approaching thirteen millions; and the nayYs
which is worse than useless, since it is incapable
of defending the honor of the Republic, and in
vites only contempt, now costs over fifteen mil
lions n ycar-inore by three milliens Of dollars
than the whole expenses of government under tho
administration Of John Quincy Adams. These
are matters upon which the people should rcAccts
as they have to foot the bills" aa-4 "ad -
The San truly says, ''thcse are matters upon
which the people should reflect, as they hare 70
foot the bills" Unless some restraining inHuen-
ccs are brought to bear upon the next Congress,
the expenses of the Federal Government will reaSh
100000, ,CO00. It matters not how much money
there is in the Treasury, such enormous cxpcn-'
diture fov almost useless measures, is sad, very
sad comm ,ntary upon the late Democratic Com
grcss.
