xg- The Union and American labors despe-
rately to relieve the administration OF the
crushing weight of extravaganza which the
records of the country fix upon it. 1t con-
tains long article yesterday, to show that
the appropriations for the year ending June
80, 1859, amount really to but sos 100000
But what will be the actual expenditures
of that year? The administration managed
to sperd about ten millions the last year,
over and above the alleged extravagant APP
preparations of the previous Congress. How
many deficiency bills shall we have, to make
good the Presidents budget of expenses for
the present yearf We shall see. But we do
notlike the way in which our contemporary
arrives at his results. The figures are taken
from the,calculatious of some clerk at Wash
ington. Now, the laws containing all the
appropriations of that year are published, Of

Squatter Sovereignty Avowcd--Meet-
I'm gin Campbell County, Ky.

There was meeting at Alexandria, Camp
bell county, Ky. on Monday last, Speeches
were made by George b. Hodge, L g., aud
Hon. John W. Stevenson. Among the reso-
buttons adopted, We notice the following:
Resolred, That the Democracy % of Camp
bell county repudiate the dociriue, whether
il comes from the North or the South, that
Congress should legislate for or against the
introduction of slaveryinto the Territories of
the United States, or for or against its main
tenance therein; believing as we do that il is
n question that should be left solely TO the
bona 6de inhabitants Of said Territories to
settle for themselves.
As this resolution Is clearly in direct con-
fiict with the bred Scott decision, and as il
is an unmistakable endorsement OF Douglas s
herexy OF Squatter Sovereignty. no man
standing on IL, 10 oar opinion, either can be
or ought to be elected TO Congress from the
Tenth District The Democracy of the Tenth
District should pause and deliberate before
they completely cut themselves loose from
the Constitutional Democracy Of the country
by making oyertures 90 the Black Repabli-
cans and their allies.-LOU- Coa. My 5.

From Warrington.

WASHINGTON, May 8.
Dispatches were prepared yesterday for Mr..
McLane, nominally intended 10 meet the
present condition of things in Mexico, but
really designed for Congress, next winter.
They only reiterate, in substance, what was
heretofore laid down as the position to be
assumed by him in the protection of the
persons and property of American citizens.
AS yet, no additional force has been detailed
to give effect 10 these expressions, and, not
withstanding the proclamation of such a pur-
pose, it is doubtful il any vessels will be
ordered TO Vera Cruz. There are two on the
spot already, and the moral effect of their
presence is quite as imposing as if half
dozen small craft were added The pain
truth is, Mr.. Mclean made a mistake in his
anxiety to figure in Mexico, when be recogni-
zed Juarez so promptly, before at least UNI
Outstanding the prospect of his ability to
sustain himself. He cannot now take step
backwards, without mourning ridicule for the
indiscreet precipitancy of his former action,
and acknowledging blunder before the
world; while to stand still and do nothing, is
almost equally embarrassing. he cannot go
to the capital, because at least the form OF
Government exists there which does not at
Vera Cruz, and after the revocation of the
exequator of Consul Black, his presence there
might not be very agreeable. The instruc-
tions which Mr.. McLane received here before
starting ON this mission, committed to him
the entire discretion of recognizing either
of the contending parties and the design was
doubtless to evade the very responsibility
which has now come to pass. Mr.. McLane
will be left TO extricate himself from the
situation, as best he may, for it is not the
habit of those in power to make sacrifices for
their friends-Cor. North american.

WASHINGTON, Friday Nigh

Senator Green, of Missouri, has suggested
compromise between the disagreeing fractions
of the Democracy, which meets the approval
Of President Buchanan and Secretary Cass,
and which, it is expected, will unite the party.
The Western Democracy insists on the rein
statement of Mr.. Douglas as regular MEM
Der OF the party.
Mr.. Green proposes to drop all discussion
upon Intervention and nou-interyention. as
non-essential, and proposes also the with
drawal of all opposition to the admission of
Kansas. whether as free or slave State, iii
the next Congress. These bases of accommo-
dation ere accepted by the Administration,
aud the breach between the factions Of the
Democracy is regarded as healed.
