The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1855-06-01

Al vi tnC VI buu-
can, in Greene county, who is a candidate for
the Legislature, winds up a long circular,
which is published in the American Eagle,
Greenev!le, with the following:
"Country, on thy sons depending,
Strong in manhood, bright in bloom,
Hast thou seen thy pride descending,
Shrouded to the nnbounded tomb!
Rise! on eagle pinion soaring
Rise! like one Of God.like birth
And, Jehovah's aid imploring,
Sweep the spoiler from the EARTH"
May all men live "sobery, righteously and
gody," so that when the "last sun has set,
and the last star has fallen from its sphere"
they may dwell in n higher and nObler
sphere in Mount Zion"
We commend the above extract from Mr..
Duncan's circular, to the attention of candi.
dates in this direction, who may wish to get
up something on the 'very peculiar" order.
OF course, Mr.. Duncan will be elected.

This vast sum Of s7l,574,S57, is only the
amount of perifed appropriations. The great
mass Of contingent objects of expenditure, Of
which the sums were ascertained and could
not be specified, may swell the grand total
Of the expenses Of the year to perhaps seren-
ty-fve millions of dollars Although the
Government expenses must necessarily in
crease with the growth of the country and
the corresponding necessities Of the public
service, one can hardly imagine the necessity
of so vast an augmentation Of the necessary
expenses Of the Government as sesenty.fre
millions of dollars; and the immensity of the
sum must arrest the attention Of every intel.
ligent reader.
The plain and frugal John Quincy Adams
was assailed by his fierce opponents and de-
kmers on the score Of extravagsncies, be.
cause his prodigal administration required
10000, 900 year; and committees Of inquiry
and retrenchment, and almost of impeach-
ment, were raised in Congress to search out
the corruption of so lavish disbursement Of
the public money, aud all sorts of reform and
economy, and good times" were promised
the dear people, if they would only turn out
the extravagant aristocratic Puritan, and put
the Reformers in. Well, they did so; good
time, for the victors certainly followed, but
yearly expenditure Of s75,0OO,OOO tells the
rest of the story. This comparison is not
however, adverted to for the purpose Of
proving extravaganza in one party more than
another, but only to revive single instance
of the unsparing injustice of party.
