Brownlow, of the Knoxville Wig, in a lat,
issue. speaking of the Capitol enlargement Al
Washington, thus hits off the Democracy -
When the Democrats first undertook The
enlargement, it was necessary to satisfy Con.
gress that the work could be done within
reasonable bounds. so far as The Expense wa.
concerned. in order to obtain the necessary
appropriations. they accordingly had theil
estimate made by architects upon oath. In
every instance, afte! wards, it required from
three to five times the amount reported
We will specify two instances, and ask the
people to look at them. The new dome on
the Capitol, according to the estimate, was
to have cost $1,000 900. a right snug sum for
a cupola on a public bui ding. But it will
cost eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars !
The door leading into the Capitol, which
was to have cost ten thousand, actually cost
~forty-fve thousand dollars! Think of that,
countrymen, and tell me how many OF. you
have toiled from boyhood to old age, without
being worth one-half what Democracy paid
for one door &c.
The way il was done ZLaborers were IL
lowed fjom three to five dollars perday, and
required to receipt for that amount and re-
ceive only one-half. They were told the
other half was to 20 to sustain the partv, and
that BY retaining power, they could give the
parties other work to do.
The Frederick IND .E1snsimer says that
Parson Brownlow has made but one mistake,
and that in regard to the cost of the dome of
the Capitol. Instead of $3.50, 900, it will have
cost, when finished, near 100000. 4
During our visit to Lowell, weawere shown
through the laboratory of ouny celebrated
countryman, Dr.. J. G.. Aver. Scarcely could
we have believed what is seen there without
proof beyond disputihg.
They consume a barrel Of solid pills, about
$4,000 doses and 3 barrels of Cherry Pertoral
10000 doses per diem. To what an incon-
oeivab|e amount Of human suffering does this
point. 10000 doses per day Fifty millions
of doses per year! What acres and thous-
ands OF acres of sick beds this spreads before
the imagination And what sympathies
and woe! True, not all of this, is taken by
the very sick, but, alas much of it is. This /
the companion OF pain and anguish andssink-
ing sorrow-the inheritance our Mot;.er E,ve.|
bequeathed to the whole family of man.
