This is good Democratic doctrine. / heard pro-
minent and influential Democrat say q few days ago,

ought to have direct TAXATION, and the Government
would not then be asked to encourage and protect a

WAsHINGToN's AUToGRAPH ACCOUNT WITH THE
UsrrED srArEs.-Mr. G.. G.. Bennett, says the Boston
Advertiser, is now visiting Boston, with view to
obtaining subscriptions for . book containing fac
simie Of Washngton's account with the United
States kept during the years I775ss, from the time
when he took command Of the army at Cambfidee to
the surrender at Yorktown. During this period is
well known, Washington accepted no compensation
for his invaluable services IN tho public cause but
he kept exact account Of his expcdfsures making
them alone acharge upon the treasury. This account,
of which fac-simile is contained in the book before
us occupies sixtysix foolscap pages, and Is model
of official neatness. The whole is in Washingten's
own handwriting Frequent notes in explanation Of
particular charges show how scrupulous be was in
carrying out the plan he had formed to make no
charges upon the public, beyond the amount Of his
expenses. The aggregate expenditure fer the eight
years was fl6,3l1 LIS Id. OF this sum little more
than one-thrd was paid for household expenses,
about one.sixth was paid for secret inteiigence,
about onequarter was paid for expenses in recohnot
erng and in travelling sometimes with and sometimes
without the army, and the remainder was used to
4 defray charges Of miscellaneous nature. The
amount must be regarded as very moderate. The fac
smile is executed in good stye and presents every
appearance, Of being exact copy Of the original
account Those who wish to possess this interesting
memorial, now have opportunity to acquire it at
moderate expense. s4
