We have recently examined q speech Of Bon Gro.
W. JoEEs delivered in Congress- on the condition
of the public finances during the FrL1moHE aauin-
istratiOn. This speech shows that the ANNUAL av-
ersge Of expenditures Under Opposition rule was
greater than in the preceding Democratic admins
tratiOn of Mr. Polk, Notwithstanding thelatter was
burdsned with the expenses of the Mexican Var.
Here is practical illustration of Opposition econO-
my. They spend more money by Gaphanism, Gard-
nerism and other forms Of corruption, than Demos
cratic administration spent in long and expensive
war by which the honor Of the nation was upheld,
and valuable territorial acquisitions secured.
Mr.. JOKES has, during his whole Congressional
career resisted andOPposed scheme by which the
public expenditures might be increased. He has
been for eighteen years the most faithful guardian
Of the treasury, and has saved the country, by his
vigilance and attention to the public interest at
least a million of dollars every year since he has
been in Congress He has defeated fraudulent
claims and exlravagant appropriations during his
term Of service, to an amount sufficient to defrsy
the expenses of our State government for the next
twenty years. and relieve every citizen of the State
from taxation. His services in the cause of Demo-
cratic principles cannot be estimated in dollars and
| cents.

We are truly glad that Col. John C. Burch has
consented to run for Senator in this district 1t is
not necessary for us TO say that this announcement
will be well received, because his party preferred
him over all others in the district for the position.
-CIeUeIdnd Banner.
We are very glad to hear that Col. BUROu is again
in the field. The fact not only insures democratic
Senator from close district but an able defence Of
democratic principles and thorough exposure of
the corrupt coalition which is known here by the
name of Opposition.

Sir-Having greater desire for the success of
Democratic principles then for any office in the gift

mental to the success Of the party, would greatly
prefer that my name should not be brought before
the Convention which is assemble at Lawrenceburg

the party may be able to agree upon some one who
has been in no way connected with the unpleasant
difficulty which produced the necessity of holding
said Convention, remQin, respectfully, your ob't
serv't, B. ID. MOORE.
