parfrhges are the most abundant for they
are but seldome disturbed and continue to
pro-crcate amid the Wild recc>ses cf the for

Here is the statement for nine years last
past of the expenditure of our Government
ending on the Soth Of June, each year
all erclusive of what has been paid toward
the public debt, by any Administration
Mr.. Fllmore's economy was such, that up
on retiring, Democratic Senators one by one
rose up and said, that while they differed
with him in politics, they would do injus-
tice to their own feelings if they neglected
to publicly compliment him for the wis
dom, patriotism and economy of his. Ad-
ministration!
Now, Buchanan has run the expenditures
up TO EGHFYsF0UR MILLIONS, aud
the estimates for his second year show that
the expenditures of the Government will
exceed ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS!
This Administration, the most corrupt and
profigate of all, will absolutely bankrupt
the nation!
The corrupt majority in Congress being
Democratic Buchanan in their politics,
have gone and raised the Presidents sala-
ry from Twenty-Five 10 fifty thousand per
annuml Madison, Monroe, Adams, Jack
son, Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, Polk,
Taylor, Fillmore. Pierce-all were put off
on salary oftscentyJfve thousand but Bu-
ebanan, the wealthiest old bachelor in Pa,
must be paid FIFTY THOUSAND per
annum! They have also increased the
members of the Cabinet. All this money
comes out of the people.
How will the sham Democracy of the
nation explain these thiugs? How will
Southern Democrats explain away their
agency in thus cruising the life-blood out
of the South !? Ifthat vile party have not
played their last cardiff they have not
palmed their last cheat and humbug on. the
people, it is because the people either hare
no sense or no ntegnty.-KnoxviHe Tsn.)

When Frank Pierce run the expenditures
Of the Government up to near seventy n,il-
lions per annum, thealyipg Democratic
sheets of the Union, and the slanderous

of the peoples money to the unparalleled

reduced these expenditures from forty-sir
to h;rty-sirl Mr.. Fillmore, as soon as
the account of the Mexicans were paid off,
