the Democratic party, we have only to refer to the
expenditures enumerated By The Nashville Patriot
Of Wednesday last, as instances Of Democratic ex.
travagaDoe. OF course If there were apy real and
well founded cases Of pIofigacr in the legislation
Of the last Democratic Congress- the Patriot would
produce them. It is compelled. however. to rest
satisfied with such eroundless charges as those con-
tanned in its article of Wednesday, And what are
they? We have already shown the absurditv into
which our contemporarv has fallen. in condemnipe
the Democracy for Voting Tor nav debts contracted BY
its own party friends Of the 94th Congress
We now come down to the PatriOfs allegations of
extravaganza in the regular approximations for the
wear 1859. The srst item cited nv the Patriot "a
as follows:

vast and valuable territory west of the Mississippi
river.
Will the Patriot promise that if the Opposition

these treaties and refuse to make appropriations 10

Patriots desire since ii censures the Democracy for

Injustice of this charge of eztravarauce against the
Democratic party, it ia the fact that one of the
