the motto on the big white dollar, as
blurred in the printing of one of the

DooRKEEpER Polk is a specimen
reformer." Being badgered beyond
endurance by an army of hungry Demo
Gratis, who wanted chance to loaf at
the expense Of the Government, he gave
them places on the House force, at an
expense Of $4,000, and trusted to the
good fellowship of the committee on
accounts to allow the extra appropria-
ton and say nothing about it. But
somebody has objected to this gener-
Gus way of doing business, and Polk is
in trouble All such disagreeable dis.
closures as this will be avoided when
there is complete Democratic ascend
cncy. The salaries of army and navy
officers and of postal clerks will he cut
down without mercy, but the hungry
Democrat will have his pap if it emp
ties the treasury
