~ W aShlngIon correspondent of the

speaks OF the Treasury fleeing which n
very democratic Senate has inaurnra,.I

"Ihat your readers may understand
something OF the enormous expenditures

of the Earning and opposition of the Sen
ators and Representatives from Virrinio
and others, has been iuanrurated that will
dep!eie the Treasury ofits last dollar"
!his action Of the Senate, with its dem.
o1ratIc majority, stands out in strange
contrast with the opposition which, until
How' the same party, as a unit have dis.
pNhyed against any system OF internal i'm
provement by the Federal Government. if
we except the convenient doctrine which
admitted that works ofnationaI imnorf,,ca
might receive such sid. But, with the
ether corruptions which have cren, into
the party, We have now n practical rcpu.

democratic creed, and renounccd bv the
chiet men OF the party. as unequivocallv
as the o.d whig party have surrendered
their opinion AS to the necessity or cyre

difference: the experiments of the Inter

and this previous to the schemes which
are now matured for the depletion Of the
