Results of the doings OF Congress.

ISSSGAIS VI LuC uoAASS VI wing SsS'
There are some facts relating to the
session Of Congress which has recently
closed, which should be kept distinctly
before the country. The rapidly in
creasing expenditures of the govern
ment; the accommodating national indebt-
cdness; and the prodigal appropriations
for purposes, calculated only to help po-
litical fayorites, are matters of public
record. 1t is said the appropriations
for the ensuing fiscal year, amount to
the enormous sum Of eighty millions OF
dollars Yet, the appropriations have
not reached the demands of the Presi-
dent and the Executive Departments,
by several millionsof dollars. For Gus
tom Houses, Notifications, &c. the APP
preparations are million less than
asked for by the administration. For
the Navy the President asked for ten
steam vessels of war. Congress grant
ed only seven. For the increase of the
army, Mr.. Buchanan asked for five ad-
ditional regiments, which would have
saddled a charge of seven or eight mill
ions Of dollars on the country This
army project was fortunately defeated
and the country saved from a useless ex-
penditure.
In the meantime forty millions Of debt
have been contracted or authorized, and
according to the estimates, ten millions
more required to keep the wheels of the
government in motion through the ear,
In summing up the financial result of
two years Of Mr.. Buchanan's admins
tration, it shows the using up of a sur
Plus of twenty millions Of dollars, and
the creation Of a public debt Of fifty
millions of dollars. And where does
the responsibility Of this alarming in
crease ofindebtcdness rest? 1t belongs
to the present administration of Buch-
anan and his political adherents; it can
not be shifted off and placed elsewhere.
Unjust be borne in mind that the friends
of the President controlled both branch
es OF Congress, and especially the Sen
ate where the most extravagant amend
ments by way of addition to the appro-
priation bills were attempted, and in
many instances successfully.
The matter should be well understood
who sought to restrain these extrava-
giant expenditures? 1t would be well if
every citizen Of the country, had before
him record of the votes III CONGRESS-
upon the various measures, involving
large appropriations ofmoney. In the
Senate, the votes of the Republican
members will be found in nearly every
instance, recorded against the extraya-
giant expenditures proposed by the adj
ministration; but being greatly in the
minority in that body, opposition to the
dominant party could avail but little. In
the House, although the administration
mad clear majority, still the Republi-
cans were enabled to defeat some ofthe
more extravagant measures proposed.
In view Of the reckless prodigality of
the administration, the Washington Re-
2'"6Fc pertinently remarks:-
" No such administration of the finan-
ces has ever been witnessed in this
country. If continued two years lon
ger, 1t must seriously endanger the pub
lie credit Of the country. Strong as
that is, there are burdens under which
twill break down"

DIDN'T Say IT.--A Democratic edi

time ago sent to Washington an appli

but did not make much Roadway, for a
While, onaccount ofhis suspected Doug
laslsm; he became disguised with the
delay of the Administrator in passing
on his claims, and publicly declared
that MIR. Buchanan might 60 To-

not like his Democracy" A few DAYS
after the utterance of this piece Of pro.

came. The editor dropped Douglas
like hot potatoe, took the Post Office,
and now says he ''never made any such

The Times seeks to evade the issue. We said
the Times had misrspresented Mr.. Potters letter
and for proof of it, asked the Times to publish
the letter, SO that the readers of that paper

This the Times refuses to do, but persists in

is probably afraid to publish Potters lettsr-pre'
ferring to make misstatenents respecting it.

credit, and worth about eighty cents on

OF the bribed Senator's, nine were
