startI,nr Conf...ian.

John P. Hale, Abolition U. S. Senator
from New Hampshire, has made some
startling revelations With regard to the
enormous expenditures Of the Navy De.
partment-revelalions which convict that
Department Of criminal extravagance or
wholesale corruption. His statement ex-
plains why cObnsss and other Abolition
Senators refused to appoint committee
to investigate the affairs OF that Depart.
menL 1t evidently is rotten to the core,
and exposure would be blighting to the
Administration, which keeps at the head
Of the Navy Department very weak and
very corrupt officer. We take the follow
ing from the Congressional proceedings !:
ain the Senate, Mr.. Hale gave the statistics
OF the annual expenditures Of the naval pow
ers Of Europe, including Italy and Denmark
They amounted hast wear to $l39, 900 900; so
that we are n"w called upon To spend this year
more than the combined world, with the ex-
cePtion Of italy and Denmark. The naval expen-
ses OF England and France during the Crinlean
war amounted to 1850, ,000, 900 fur u period of
three years and 6ve months. We are called
upon to spend $4O.o0o,oOO per sunum more
than this.
Is not the above frightful disclosure ?
Is it surprising that the people are op.
pressively taxed to sustain the Admins.
tration ?? Senator Hale,a warm supporter
Of the Administration, frightened at its
recklessness, reluctantly confesses that
our navy, under Mr.. Lincoln, "coSts forty
millions per annum more than the CON-
bined navies Of France and England ex-
pended during the whole period of the
Crimean war, of three years and five
months" Does not this explain why the
leaders of the Abolition party are SO
fiercely opposed to peace? The Navy
Department alone expends four hundred
millions annually, the half Of which, at
least, is given to swindling Abolition
shoddy contractors and agents. Peace
would put an end to their swindling, and
throw out of employment horde oi syc-
ophants and loafers. They are the men
who are continually bowling for "vigo-
rous prosecution of the war" and sian.
dering those who favor peace. Selfish,
mercenary and servile, they are tit repre-
sentAtives of a tyrannical and corrupt
Administration, and so long as it pays
will be loyal" to it. A party composed
of such material must soon become the
detestatiOn of all honest men.

THE Abolition organs, says the Consti-
tutonal Union, are Boosting OF the fact
that, for the first time since the Admin
istration OF General jackson, the Admin.
istration Of o-day has been able to organ
ize in its interest the present Congress,
and exhibit it as an evidence of the pop
ular confidence in Abraham Lincoln. |,
this is the only evidence Of popular conf.
dence that can be produced, we laugh to
scorn all such attempts to bolster up a
tyrannical Administration. The present
Congress no more represents the true in.
tereSts and honest sentiments of the
country than it does of Kamschatka. -
Any Administration resorting to the same
unconstitutional, illegal, unjust means,
employed by the present administration,
could have had a majority of any Con-
gresS that ever existed to support it. No
President, before the advent Of Abraham
Lincoln, ever disfranchised his opponents
by forcing upon them illegal, unconstitu-
tional test Oaths, and surrounding them
with the Governments paid soldiers, sent
into the different States, at the expense
Of the Government, to vote for Admins.
tration candidates. Never before were
officers dismissed from the service for
having the manliness. when on a visit to
rncIr uumrS, 10 -vuir t11eTr Turrrst s,rnti.
ments and support the opposition ticket.
Never before we're generals from the ar.
my, and ministers from the. Cabinet sent
out at the expense Of the Government as
political missionaries, to preach the creed
Of the party in power, and urge the peo-
pie to support the Administration. The
Army, Navy and public Treasury were
never before used for the unholy purpose
Of defeating political party. By doing
SO, any Administration could have en-.
shaved the people and had control of Con.
gress. Let new election come off to-.
morrow, the people being untrammeled
and left free to vote in accordance wit /
their convictions Of right, and tFemrn.
dous majority would be rolled up in con.
demnation of the uncOnstitu tiOnal and
antI-American acts of Abraham Lincoln's s
Administration.

the Pioneer siagsa made the trip from Virginia
City to this place In thirteen hours, including
ssopRaSes. Running time. a little over eleven
hoars. This we call fast travelling. when we
consider that the stages were loaded down with

for The length fthe route, has never been
made by stages in any State Of the Union.

PAYING PArRiorIsN.-It is stated that
the patriotic agent for the sale Of Govern

in few months, six hundred and fifty
thousand dollars as commissions for his

to a full millionl He is relative Of Sec
retary Chase and vehement patriot, OF
course. He has been accused Of outrage
Gus swindling, and facts sufficient to con.
vict him have been presented to the prop
er authorities. but his loyalty saves him.

only loyal but, also, relative. Of old

TREAsoN.-To doubt the honesty, c.

is, in the eyes Of its followers, trsAsOe.-
"TressOn ~ cried the Speaker cf the Yir-
ginia House of Burgssses, When Patrick
Henry was denOuncing the Government"
for its assaults upon the rights and liber-
ties Of the people Of the Colonies. No
thing daunted, however, BY the insOleut
threats Of the miniOns of the tyrant; trem-
bling not at the bitter. inyectiVes and
drawn swords Of the enemies Of liberty,
the "loyAl supporters Of the Govern
ment," the noble patriot rising to loft
ier attitude, in a sonorous voice, and with
uplilted hands, exclaimed: "CSesar had
his Brutus, Charles tho First his CrOm-
well, and George the Third-nay profit
by their example |" So 1t is now with
the fearless and unconquerable DemOcra-
cy. Confident of the true patriotism that
inspires them fearing not bastiles or bay
onets; despising alike the threats and
Establishments Of power, laughing to
scorn the ISLANDERS Of the minions Of pow
er, they pursue the even tenor Of their
way, determined to save the Constitution
and restore the Union, or perish with
them. The true Democrat cannot be in
timidated by the threats Of traitor Aboli'
tiOnists, though backed By the whole
power Of the Administration. They fear
as little to be called traitors by the loyal
adherentS of Abraham the First, as did
Henry and Washington aud Jefferson by
the loyal adherents of George the Third. =
