rant pArty-in numbers, as woaid have
hsen shown If there had been fair ak
preston OF the popular will at the late e.
lection obtained the reins of power, in-
stead Of some sixty, or seventy, or nine
ty-aaialions of dollars being spent in a
year, The amount would reach hanareds
Of millions. And we said moFe-I mean
no personal offence but tha hoBorable
SenRteF said that however unpopular IL
vas be muat speak the truth, end asn
tsow slsnpiy speaking the tFaga-we told
che people then that If this party ever got
into poser they woald steal mora ia one
year from sha public Treasury than any
DemecFhtic Administration had expend-
ed during its continuance. And Ies me
say here thaE the thanks of Abe country
are due d Distinguished mem Der of the
otEer House from Massachusetts who ad-
mftsed the fact that in tAe first rear OF
this Republican Administrations more
had been stolen from the public Treasury
than had been expended during the whole
of MIR. Buehanan'g Administration
