o. 1t is nearly six years since Mr.. Fill
more went out of office, and the country is
now learning through the veracious organs
of democracy that his administration was the
most extravagant we have ever had. With
out hunting up the statistics, we believe the
annual expenditures during his tenure of Of
tice-including large legacics Of debt inner
tied from the preceding (democratic) admin
straiion--nmounted to about forty millions.
Since his retirement there has been n
regular increase of ten millions per
annum until the government expenditures
have reached the enormous sum of ninety
three millions of dollars; and it is not unfair
nor wide Of the mark to say that this enor-
nous increase has not been demanded or used
for legitimate purposes, but that two thirds
of il has gone TO reward partisans for party
services and TO perpetuate party rule which
is plunging the country deeper in debt and
difficulties every day. The people-not the
office holders and the stipendlaries of party
the masses who are suffering under The
reverscs which misrule has brought upon
them, are beginning to talk about such reck.
less disregard of the public interests, and the
response from the democratic organsis, that our
pecuniary embarrassments, complicated for.
eign relations, intestine sand festerlngcor
rup,ions in every department of the govern
ment at Washington, are all "chargeable TO
Fillmore's administration" There were
doubtless abuses in the government under
Mr. Fillmore, but TO charge the results of
the acts Of poor Pierce to him, or to hold his
administration responsible for the reckless
and wasteiul extravaganza which history will
render the prominent feature Of the present
one, requires perfection in effrontery which
no one but the devil or locofoco editor
could attain to. The people, however, will
hardly be deceived by such transparent men.

az The Brandon (NIiss) Republican
mentions curious well discovered in Smith
county about month ago. A Mr.. Baugh
was boring for water in the piney woods, and
when he had bored about forty feet ga mighty
rushing wind" came out Of the hole, which
continued for several days. lie quit boring
and waited to see what would come of it,
He placed bottle over the hole, and the
wind makes n noise in it which can be heard
a mile II "blows" about n week at n time,
and then it begins to "suck in" which con-
iinucs for about the same time, and then
blows again. So far no diminution of its
force has been discovered. 1t has attracted
many persons TO see it, and as yet none can
tell "whence the wind cometh, or whittier il
goeth."

Gently received "most hattering demOnstra-

addresses, torchlight procession, ilumina-
tons, bonfres, and all the other incidents
common 10 such occasions. The Richmond
Wing publishes the long account of the
proceedings and accompanies it with an edi.
torial article nominating Mr.. Crittenden for
the Presidency of the United States. The
reasons the Wing furnishes for the fitness
of the nomination are such MS the follow
ing;
Among the men in whom we have an abb.
ding trust, and whose public c: reer is plat
form enough for us, is John j. Crittonden, OF
Kentucky. lie is emphatically national
man. TO unsullied integrity, he unites I'M
questioned ability, and long and varied expe-
rence in legislative and executive SERVICE
A native and resident of Kentucky, he is by
no means n sectional man. On all occasions
he has exhibited broad comprehension and
catholic spirit. When Southern rights have
been invaded, he has manfully stood up for
the rights of the South. On the other hand,
when he thought the South in error, he has
been restrained by no sectional considera-
tons from doing justice to the North. Mod
crate men of all sections NAV consistently
unite on him, and we feel assured that his
election would give peace TO the country.

AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION.

We give the following communication n
place, not because we think it advisable TO
be continually tinkerng at the Constitution,
or that we agree with the writer in all his
propositions. On the contrary, we differ with
him very materially ih regard to some of
lhem-for instance, "prohbiting private or To-
cal legislation" and TO throwing any more
offices connected with the Judiciary before
the people. The people of Tennessee have,
perhaps, been peculiarly fortunate in select
ing their judicial officers; but our observa-
tion in regard to some other States has led
us 10 the conclusion that we have travelled
about far enough in that direction, ard that
in the course of time return to the former
and more conservative system may be de-
sirable. But we publish the communication
because il comes from n source that entities
it TO respectful consideration, and because
our columns are at all times open to n free,
frank and honest discussion Of all questions
affecting the public interests Immediately or
in a remote degree AS to the State officers
named, while there might not be any over
whelming objections to urge against their
election by the people, still we can see no
existing necessity for the change.
For the Post.
Mr. Editor: Since it has been understood
that final disposition is about to he made OF
your favorite correspondents Union meet
ings, think it would crafty the wishes of
many ofyour numerous friends to have some
thing said in your paper in reference to the
propriety of sustaining the call for Con-
yeniion to change the Constitutional Laws
of Tennessee. suppose it is generally I'M
derstood that the law authorizing the people,
in September next, to say whether they shall
have a Convention or not, was passed with
unprecedented unanmity by our last Legis-
aturc, which, by the bye, was composed of
some of the best men of tho State. And
inasmuch MS legislation costs the people too
much, ives, altogether too much,) they now
have it in their power to make such amend
ments and alterations in our Constitution ms
suit the interests and views of the present
progressive age. will point out some few
changes fiat have been suggested that ought
to be made. Private or local legislation
should be prohibited, for more than three
fourths of the acts of the three last Lcgisla-
turee have been of local character. There
have been quite too many interpretations
granted at considerable costs, indeed-the
sessions of the Legislature should be limited
the Secretary of State, Comptroller, State
Treasurer, and Chancery Clerks should be
elected by the people, &c. Vox PoPULL
