THE FLAG FOR WASHINGTON.

In honor of tn. great and good Washing
ton, the United States flag, with 81 stars on
its folds, floats over the ARGUS Office, to-day,
the 22d inst-and We read with reverence the
sublime teachings of his farewell address,
while we contemplate and compare his prin-
ciples and his life, with the wicked faction
which now controls the government oi
this country and which has turned the fair
south into land of anarchy and desc
lation, placed her people under military
despotism, seeks to place the ignorant and
degraded negroes in permanent power and
control, is attempting to destroy the su
preme court, and centralize the government
into more revolving military despo,ism
than ever existed in any foreign land. Let
the people study the character and prin.
ciples of Washington and they will hurl
from power the fanatical, incompetent and
destructive radical party, call national mer
to Office, restore the Union, aud bring peace
and prosperity to our now distracted country

JUDGE MARsHALL's SPEECH.
tCOECLUDED.'

We are alarmed, Mr.. Speaker and honor
able e'gentlemen seem surprised at the cry o.
distress that comes up to US from all parts
OF the land. A once happy, free and pros
porous people find themselves upon the
very brink of financial and commercial ruin.
while trembling between the Scylla of ansr-
chy and Chsrybdis of despotism that threat.
ems to engulph our brightest prospects and
fondest hopes forever. But why shoild We
De surprised at our present condition? The
experience OF all ages, the lessons of all his
tory, would have warned us of the rocks
against which we we're madly dashing If we
had but listened to their voices. No people
on earth could long exist without utter ruin
under the system of misrule, pYohiRacy ana
debauchery inangurated by the men wno
now, unhaPpily, control the destinies 9. 4u,
country. Even if the system OF pecui:
and robbery of which hsve been sprs ppo.n"r,ss
could be stopped, the expenditures actualy
authorized hy Iav would have crushed any
people. Tbs hard.esrned money OF our
people is recklessly voted away, ana squan-
dered aa ;f our resources were endless, ana
the means and patience OF the people mex
haustible.
tho surrender of the last army OF the confed.
erstea brought gladness and hope to the
h.arts of our people. If the men who had
control of our government had permitted
The constitution Of our fathers to extend its
protecting and benign influences TO every
part Of the land, and had at the same time
inaugurated system Of strict economy in
the administration of the government we
would to-day be the happiest and most pros
erous people on earth. But this would not
answer the ends or purposes of the radical
faction. The founders Of their sect had de-
nounced the constitution as o '.covenant
with death and an agreement with hell" and
now, drunken and debsuched with their
i'll gotten power, our rulers trampled that
sacred instrument under their feet, aud in
anguratsd their most wretched and wicked
system of revolution and subversion. And
this wicked scheme natuEally and inevitably
led to the adoption of measures that have

Thus it is seen that the entire expendi-

Guiding the expenses of the last British war.
does not equal by over ST. ,000,0 what Is
now required for the mere ordinary eNPensses

estimates given include the emonn. feqaiIeo
for hount;es. pensions, and interest on the

I have given nse, IN tact, moss
and enough TO cause the very cions OF our
1,n,h.r earth to rise in mutiny against the
frrtber rule of such party
II will be seen by looking at the foregoing
table that the whole aggregate expenditures
of the government during the three years
Is12, 1918, and l8l4,) of our last great
struggle with Gruat Britain. in which we met
and grappled in the death struggle on land
and sea with the greatest power on earth,
amounted only to SIT, ,039, 500, which is SIC
960, ,49S less than it now costs to run the
government in time OF profound peace for
one year under radical rule; and that, too,
without counting the frauds and robberies
perpetrated under our revenue system, and
which may be estimated At at least $50, ,O00,-
600 more, that never reaches the treasury,
but every dollar of which is wrung from the
pockets OF the toiling millions. -
But it may be urged that these COM
PARSONS are not fair, and are calculated to
mislead, as the population was much less in
the early days Of the republic than now, and
the expenditures necessarily less than now.
Admit all that can be fairly claimed from
tins fact, and yet it does not weaken the
startling character of the facts have given.
Surely no one will contend that it ought to
cost more. or at least much more, per capita,
to administer our government as we increase
in population than it did during the early
and struggling days Of the republic. If It
does necessarily have this result, we would
in self defence immediately put stop to
immigration, and go back as speedily as
possible to our original boundaries. But il
cannot possibly produce this result if the
government were now administered on the
principles on which it was founded. Taking
this as indisputable, will now furnish an.

But there Is no hope now save in speedy

Of congress bawling hoarsely for retrench

and fercely than ever to their schemes of
consolidation, despotism, and measures that
must result in the robbery and ruin of the
people. 1t would be as easyf for the Ethiopi-

as for this congress to return to the princi-
