ment, legislative, executive and judicial
Of The 90 chairmeh of the committees
who control the Legislative business o
the Senate, ID are from the Slave States
! and 6 from the Free States the Ia rep
resenting a white constituency of abou
100000 and the 6 constituency o
between thirteen and fourteen millions
The same injustice to the Overwhelming
millions Of people and capital in the Free
States, was maintained in the organiza
ton of the committees of the House O.
Representatives. The President Of The
Senate and Speaker of the House were
both Southern Democrats. The legisla.
ton OF both branches of Congress was
thus placed under the control Of the
Southern Democracy.
The Supreme Court Of the u s. is
composed Of nine Judges: five of them
are from the Slave States and four from
the Free States. The judicial circuits
are SO formed as to require the appoint
ment of a majority from siaveholding
communities, embracing less than one
third Of the white population Of the coun-
try, leaving the minority to represent the
feelings and public opinion of more than
two-thirds of the people and the busi-
ness Of the nation.
Of the heads of the seven executive
departments of the government, four are
from the Slave States and three from the
Free States. The disparity in the pat
ronage they control. is much greater
than the disparity in their relative mum.
Der. The Secretary of War, the Secre-
tary of the Interior, the Secretary Of the
Treasury, and the Postmaster General,
all from Slave States, disburse four ffths
of the public treasure, and control the
appointment of more than nine -tenths of
the officers of the Government leaving
the people of the Free States with a rep
resentalion without numerical power
and almost destitute Of official patron
age.
4th. The increase of the expenses of the
government under this Southern Demo-
cratic rule has been enormous and unnec-
essary.
This is manifest from a comparison of
the expenses for the last six years with
preceding years. The expenses from
June 3oth, 1912, to July l, 1867. were ::
The Buchanan County guardian. (Independence, Buchanan County, Iowa) 1858-1864, 1859-08-04

The Secretary of the Treasury. in his
last annual report says The expendi-
lures during the fiscal year ending June
3Olh. 1858. were S8l. .585, ,667, 49," (see
page Q. Finance Report.) Also :. The
expenditures of the first quarter of the
current fiscal year, ending Sept. 80. SO.
were $2l.7O8. 1881: the estimated ex-
penditures during the remaining three
quarters. to June so. 1859, are $52. $751;
69s48," making 10 all, actual and esti-
mated. for the present year, S74,O65.-
$4,000. But he proceeds to say, To
this estimate should be added the sum OF
3,82S,72 dollars. required for the serv-
ice of the Post Office Department, dur
ing the present fiscal year" This in
creases the actual and estimated expenses
for the current year ending June 80, SO,
to $77,924.624.99 !; other deficiencies
will have arisen, growing out of new leg
islation, which the dePartments could not
have anticipated. to the amount of 2,OOO,-
900 or 5000. 900 dollars hence the ag
gregate for the year will probably ex-
ceed 80, 900. 900 dollars,
The estimate of appropriations and ex-
penses for the fiscal year commencing
July /, 1859. and ending June 80. 1860,
amount to $73,2I8,747.4e. This in
cludes Z ,O82. 800 dollars for deficiencies
in the Post Office department. But the
Post Office Bill which passed the House
of Representatives. appropriated 10. .495,
1893 dollars. in addition to 100, 900 dol
lars under standing law. This was in
creased in the Senate two or three mil
lions. But in. consequence of the in
flexible determination Of Democratic
members of Congress, the bill failed to
become law. Yet it furnishes incon-
troverlible evidence Of the amount
thoaght TO be necessary for that service
by Democratic Postmaster General and
a Democratic Congress. But the Post
master General estimated the gross rev.
enues of the department for the year end
ing june 80. 1860, at about eight mil
lions; add to this the standing apprapri-
alton Of 100000 per annum. and the
deficiency included in the Post Office
Bill, Of $6. .382. 900, and subtract the az.
gregate from the Gross amount and il
leaves an additional deficiency of Sc, | Is
s88, to be added to the Secretary's esi-
mates. making in all for that year, tie
sum Of $40. $3.50, ,835 46. This will b,
increased. probably, as before explained
to over 10000, 900.
