Wheatland, Feb. %, 1852.

"Gentlemen: On what issues.
then, can we 60 before the country, and
confidently calculate upon the support of
the American people, at the approaching
PRESIDENTIAL election? [ answer unhesi-
tatingly that we must fall back, as you
suggest, upon those fundamental and
time honored principles which have divi-
ded us tiem our political opponents since
the beginning, and which, from the very
nature of the Federal Constitution. must
continue to divide us from them to the
end. We must inscribe upon our ban
nets sound regard for the preserved
rights OF the States, strict construction
OF the Constitution, denial to Congress
of all powers not clearly granted by that
instrument and a rigid economy in pub
lie expenditures.
"These expenditures have now reached
the enormous sum of fifty millions of dol
furo Por auuuTs, and unless arrested in
their advance by the strong arm of tae
democracy OF the country, may, in few
years, reach one hundred millions The
appropriation of money to accomplish
great national objects sanctioned by the
Constitution, ought to be on a scale com.
mensurate with our power and resources
as nation; but its expenditure ought to
be conducted under the guidarc, Of en-
ightoned economy and strict responsible
ty. L am convinced that our expenses
ought to BE- considerably reduced below
the present standard, not only without
detrlment, but with positive advantage
both to the government and the people.
Well, Mr.. Buchanan became President.
and the result has been an Administra-
ton characterized by un-dreamed of ex-
pense. He has empticd treasury that
he found full and now goes it on borrow
ed capital. But to "err is human" and
and 1t seems to us to be Democratic also.
especially in the matter of spending the
peoples money.

Buchanan on Economy.

Human nature is fallible. The best
and wisest sometimes err. The lust for
power, the pride of station, the clamor
of private interests, and the seductive arts
of smiling vice work wonderful transfer
nations.
Even great and good men fall into
grievous errors and do those things which
once they greatly condemned. Two prom
inent examples of this truth are David,
brrmeily King of the Jews, and James,
now President of the United States
When James was simply Mr.. Buchanan,
he was greatly impressed with the neces-
sity of public economy. His virtuous
soul grieved over the lavish expenditures
of tho public money, and he longed to re-
move from his retirement at Wheatland,
to the "White House." and there endow-
ed with executive power, to protect his
beloved country from the rapacious de-
signs of those who were so greedily eat
ing up her substance. To show the pi-
GUS purpose of his heart we give an ex-
tract from a letter he wrote a short time
before he WAS n candidate for the Presi.
dency.
