lefs violent into their measures; aud what is
now called The great Republican party viii
become before the Presidential election,
nothing but an Abolition party. All these indi-
cations in and ont Of Congress point to this
result Nothing, therefore, but the uprising Of
nation, pure and simple, can save us from the
saddest calamity that ever befel people.
The Estim ates for the Coming Year-suc-
cessfui Economy Of MIR. Buchanan.
The prize which the political demagogues in
and out Of Congress are really contendiug for
is not the establishment of any great principle
of society or government, but it is the patron
age and spoils which belong to four years ad-
ministraton of the affairs Of the Union.
1t is, therefore, in the decrease or increase of
the annual estimates that the true spirit which
animates those in administration is to be
found; and in this respect Mr.. Buchanan pre-
sents shining example, amid the corruption
that hangs around the halls of Congress, and is
engaged in continual attack, by assault and
stratagem, on the Treasury Department at
Washington. Owing to the persistent efforts
made by the President the expenditures Of the
general government have been largely reduced,
as will be seen by q comparison of the follow
ing tables Of estimates of the appropriations
proposed to be made for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1861, and those for the previous
year.
