ThcTuS.ic expenditures of tiic

Mr.. Sherman Of the House of Representa-
tiycs has been making a speech, reviewing
and contrasting the expenditures OF the va
,ious administrations, and comparing their
merits, morally and intellectually The de-
velopments made by Mr.. Sherman were
startling and overwhelming against this
Administration. Indeed the only policy Mr.
buchanan has developed in the year and a
half of his career. has been a running in-debt
one, occasionsd by reeklessness and blunder-
ing. In March. 1857, when Mr.. buchanan
took his seat, there was surplus in the
Treasury of twenty-six millions of dollars
which by the end of the fiscal year, 1.-THE 3oth
of June.) had been reduced to seventeen
millions. In Dec last that sum had been
all used UP, since which time sixteen millions
of debt has been incurred, and an addition
nj sum of four millions will be added to tins
by the 3eth of this month, the end OF the
fiscal year.

Revenue Force.

One Of the ominous signs of the desenera-
cy of party politics, under this and the
last Administration, is to be found in the
increase Of force to collect the revenue in, in
considerable and out of the way places
While the amount of revenue is decreasing
the force to collect the same is augmented.
In the New England States, about all the
reliable Buchanan Democratic papers are
edited or published by Custom House Off
GERS. Some Of the offices in the various col
lection districts have been created, that
places might be given to this class OF
men.

Democratic Senators voted for the liecomp-
ton constitution of Kansas because 1t iasten-
ed slavery on that Territory. They had 9TH
or reasons. The Buchanan party went Tor
the Lccompton constitution, III spite OF Its
illegality-its being the result Of frauds and
rascalties unparalleled, simply because ii
established slavery, and thereby would
strengthen the administration by electing
pro-slavcry Senators; while these Republican
Senators voted against Oregon, notwithstand-
ing its nominally free constitution, because
it contained some anti-democratic provision:
that ought not to be in any constitution

ties, in meeting these cases for Congression
al action. The Republican Senators Were
willing to forego any seeming advantagl
that might accrue from the admission Of FIRE,
States, and to demand that the constitution
presented be 'srepubl:can in form,'' and il
conformity to the national constitution
This is in strict accordance with their action

The Kansas correspondent of the Demo

that some 200 settlers were organized near
Sugar Mound. and that still larger party
of Missourians were encamped short dis
tance from them, and it Was thought battle
would ensue.
Gov. Denver has commissioned Sheriff
Saml. Walker to proceed To the scene of the
disturbances, and report to, him, when it is
thought that active measures should be taken
to restore order,
The latest news from Ossawatomie states
that place was threatened by 800 Missouri

from the head quarters t the Kansas militia,

The Republican learns that Coy. Stewart
has sent Gen. Parsons to Bate. and Cas-

bles there, and whether it will be necessary
to call out the militia to protect the border
counties from Capt. Montsomery's band of
robbers.
The Democrat has information from a
gentleman just from Kansas that the Deputy
Y. 5, Marshal was sent in pursuit of Capt..
Montgomery, and was taken prisoner by the
latter On Thursday night last; that after some
conference nc was released. The Marshal
states that Capt Montgomery informed him
that the recent outr4g.s were all committed
