Expenses of the GoreramenU Extract fron tjxech of Hon. G. W. John, of Tennetsee, in the House of Representative, Monday, August 16, 1SÖ0, in committee of the Whole on the tote of the Union, the Cieil and Diplomatic Appropriation Bill being under consideration. Mr. Jokes obtained the floor, and addressed the committee. He said: Mr. Chaieman: On a former occasion, when the first one of the general appropriation bills, proposed to le fassed for the year ending June 30, 1351, being the Miliary Academy bill, was under consideration, in a few remarks which I submitted on that occasion, I called the attention of the House to the enormous amount of monejr required by the Administration for the fiscal year comtnencin; July 1, 1350, and ending June 30, 1851, as shown by the estimates from the Secretary of the Treasury, and the bills actually reported by the Committee of Ways and Means, amount intr, in the aggregate, to over the sum of (51,000,000. This I did with a view, but certainly without much hope, of impressing upon the House the very great necessity and importance of a strict observance of, and rigid regard to, the principles of economy, in acting upon the appropriation bills of the ession. I had no other object in view, i assure you, sir.

I know myself well enough to know that I am incapable of misrepresenting the lacts in this or any other case k no Trinity. This amount asked for by the Administrationfor the service of the Government for one year, was truly startling in itself, and did not fail to bring to his feet the chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, Mr. Bayly, who controverted the correctness of the statement, and thus averted its influence upon the House and the country. Upon that occasion he said, "that, in his opinion, the "statement read by his colleague on the Committee of Ways and Means, Mr. Jones, was calculated to produce an erroneous impression upon the House and the country; stated that from the aggregate amount of the appropriations to be provided for during the present fiscal vear as estimated by the gentleman, $5,444,000 for the Post Office Department, (which was supported by its own revenue and not from the general Treasury,) and $5,656,000 being the amount of unexpended balances of former appropriations should be deducted; so that from the aggregate estimated hv the gentleman, some $11,000,000, in round numbers, should be deducted ; making in round numbers $40,(uu,uuo instead of $51.000,000 expenses to be provided for during the current fiscal year." The gentleman has, several times since that, when the estimate which I submitted has been referred to in debate, denied its correctness, declaring that I was wholly mis taken. Under the circumstances 1 reel called on to say a few words and submit a few facts, in vindication of the statement heretofore made to the House. The chairman of the Committee of Wavs and Means said that from the aggregate of appropriations as estimated by me, "$5,444,00) for the Post Office Department, "(which was supported by its own revenue and not from the general Treasury,) and 5,6ob.5JU,34 being the amount ol un expended balances of former appropriations should be deducted." I admit that $5,215,167 of the Post Office appropriations are derived from the revenues of that de partment received Tor postages; but the balance, 490 was changed by the action of the House and appro priated out of the general Treasury, instead of out of the Post Ulhce revenues, as proposed by the Committee of Wavs and Means. But the fact that the sum of $o, 215,167 is appropriated from the revenues of the Post Office Department for its own support, does not change the fact that this sum is drawn from the people the productive industry of the country. With respect to the $5,656,530 34 of unexpended bal ances of former appropriations, which the gentleman said should be deducted, I consider that as much a part of the estimates and as much required to be provided for blaring the year, as any other one item of the estimates submitted by the Treasury Department, as by reference to those estimates will most clearly and satisfactorily appear, as I humbly bot confidently believe. "Par 3. Report on the Finances, 1S49-50: "The estimated receipt and expenditures for the fiscal year eommencinc Julv 1. 1950. and ending June 30, ls51, are Receipts from riulnnu C33.00n.ni0 IteceipU from public lauds 3,150.(sw ReceiDU from midcellaiieotu sources 300.0UO 34,450.000 "The expenditures during the same period, as estimated by the several Departments of State, Treasury, War, Navy, Interior, and fnstmaster General, are The balance of former appropriations, which will be ren ired lo I e expended this year. ..i.aS,5.)0 34 Permanent and indefinite appropriation...

And being required to be expended tnis year, will have to be taken from tne current reve nues of the year, as much so as any portion of the sum which we are required to appropriate specifically for the same. 1 be one amount is just as much required to car ry on me puunc ousincss as tne otner. 1 ne only timer ence between this amount and the amount of $33,697, 152 15 which we are now called upon to appropriate be ingthis: the former amount, having been appropriated by former acts of Congress, is not required to be re-ap-propnated. With regard to the necessity of the two sums for the public service, and the sources from which and the time at which they are to be provided and deri red, tbey stand upon precisely the same footing. That thist amount of former appropriations will have to be pro vided from the current revenues ol the 1 reasury, is con clusively shown, as I think, by the estimates o the Sec retary ol that department, irom wnicn it will be seen that there will be at the end of the year a deficit of $16, 375.214 39. In this last estimate I hope tbe actual bust ness of the Treasury will not verify the correctness of this estimate: and that, instead of tbe estimated deficit the receipts will at least be equal to the expenditures But a result so desirable must be looked for in an increase over the estimated receipts into the Treasury by the Sec retary, rather than any stringency on the part ol Con eress in making the appropriations, or of any special economy on the part of the Executive Government in the expenditure oi tne money wnicn snau ie appropriated I might still further vindicate and establish the correct ess of my (brmer statement, by taking the sum estima ted lor by the Secretary, and which has certainly not been reduced by the committee $44,997,092, 73 Add to this the additional sum rendered necessary by the increase of the rank and file of the army 1,076,901 00 And tbe excess over the estimates, reported by the Committee on Commerce, for rivers and harbors and light houses 1,164,080 00 And we have the moderate sura of.. To this add Post Office estimates . . ....$47,238,073 73 .... 5,215,167 00 Thus showing the sum of $52.433,240 73 s the anticipated and proposed fiscal or monetary Operations of this Government for one year. Here I might rest this statement, confident, as I am, that the facts and figures which I have submitted will stand the test of tho strictest scrutiny and remain as a triumphant vindication of my former statement as to the aggregate amount of money required to be drawn from the people, to carry on the operations of the Government for one year. Bat again; the gentleman from Virginia, Mr. Bayly, Che chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, says, the um of $5,656,530 34 of former appropriations, Ksximatexl for in the report of the Secretary, and which he tells as will be required to be expended during the ovr present fiscal year, should be deducted from the probable actual expenditures of the year ; for the reason that there will be at the end of the year, in all probability, as large an amount of unexpended appropriation as this amount now required for the current year. And if so, this will reduce the aggregate amount estimated for that much. It may turn out so, but then it may not; and if it should not, then it follows, of course, that the smount will have been expended during the year. Should an amount of the appropriations remain unexpended at the end of this fiscal year equal to those of the former year, I admit that the actual expenditures from the estimates would be reduced exactly that sum. But then, in all human probability, there will be, at the end of the year, another item, of no inconsiderable amount, ta Le added to the actual expenditures of the year, which will Terr nearly, if not quite, swell the actual expenditurea ol the year to an amount fully equal to tbe estimates and statements which I have submitted. I allude, of course, to the "drficienry" which may appear at the end of the year, and which Congress will be asked to appropriate. Of late, these "defieieney bills'' have liecome at absolutely necessary a the regular general appropriation bills. What. sir. has been done in the way of appropriating money to supply deficiencies in the last year by Congress? . .. .- . .i i . r n .First; by "A resolution limiting tne expcnsc ui rwim. mir ill revenue from rwtom for the present fiscal year approved February 14, 1850, there was appropriated $1,225,000 lor the half year ending June 20, 1850 "to(othor with suh soma. In addition, as may be received trnm Inrifr fart er lira t7 and labor, for said half yar, ami in that proportion lor any fchorter or longer tini. nntil Congress shall act noon the sobiect." I have nni h mpn of ascertaining the precise amount which may be received fiom "storage, cartage, drayage. and labor," for that half year ; bnt by reference to the Report on the Finances, lil9-50, lcing Executive document Tin A. in ib itrcsent aeMon. pare 913. will no seen "Statement of receipts and expenditures on account - i '

Jo, l34Jr irooiwnicn it appears mat tne amount received for that year from the sources specified in th res-1 olution, was $172,347 26. Taking this as a basis in estimating ue amount rcceiveu in tue nau year enuing une 3U, ISoO, and which by the resolution is appropriated, we have the sum of $86.173 63; which, added to I the $1,225,000 specifically appropriated by the resolution, will make ..... n $1,311,173 63 To this add amount contained in deficient I cy act approved May 15, 1S50 2,575,501, 33 And amount of judiciary deficiency 50,000, 00 $3,936,674 9 This joint resolution not only appropriates the amount necessary to defray the expenses of collecting the reve nues from customs for the half year therein spec-itied, but it also appropriates in the same proportion lor a shorter or longer time, until Congress shall again act. Estima ting the receipts from storage, cartage, drayage, and latior. a 1 hnvs ttm rwrmanent annunl fl nrirnnrinrion made by the resolution of February 14, 1850, to defray the expenses of collecting the revenues from customs, is $2,622,347 26, being $127,652 74 less than the sum esti mated for by the Secretary of the Treasury, lo go a ittle back, 1 think the balance of unexpended appropri ations remaining at the end of the fiscal year may, as a general rule, be oflsiCt by the deficiencies which appear at the same time. Sometimes the one will appear the larger, at other times, the other item will be the larger. The only data we have of the amount which may be required in the vear. is the estimates of the Executive ranch of the Government. By a retrospective view of h the financial operations of the Government, I think it will rarely be found that the expenditures nave lallen below the estimates which the proper othcers have told Con gress would be required lor any given period. Mr. Chairman, I might here rest my remarks, conn dent that I have fully and fairly vindicated my former statement to the House and the country, as regards the amount of money which is required by the Aununistra tion lor the current fiscal year, and winch, Irom all the indications I have seen, I am reluctantly constrained to believe that Congress will grant. I may also indulge the hope, that what I have said will induce the friends of economy those who are the r."il friends of republi can government, and desirous of proving their faith by their works, by relieving the people, the toiling masses, who pay the taxes, and do the actual lighting when re quired, from all unnecessary burdens to arouse from their lethargy and come to the rescue, examine those required appropriations, lop oil" the unnecessary parts, nnv.,, r'l ami save tn save their constituents from a portion, at least, o! the nnmn. t -rhh will iw riMniirnd to mf th . .

All the bills reported from the Ways and Means will, I doubt not, pass none of them, However, with less amounts than those they contained when reported by the committee. Indeed, it is to be feared that the amounts in most of them will bo greatly augmented. Such a result is altogether prolable with regard to the army and navy bills, and also the Indian bills; but more par ticularly is such a result to be apprehended with regard to that great omnium gatherum, the civil and diplomatic appropriation bill the real congressional omnibus, in which so many unworthy passengers (private claims and improper appropriations) endeavor to secure through tickets, and who, 1 resrret to say, have heretolore proved too successful. I now call upon the drivers, and those having charge of the vehicle, to guard it strictly, and see that none take scats in it but such as have an indisputable right, under some existing law. lhese various bills and items are as lollows: For Military Academy For Kerolutionary and other pensions.

Estimating the entire population of the United States, at this time, at 20,000,000 of souls, and it will be an average of over two dollars and fifty cents to each individual of every class, sex, color, age, and description. Far be it from me, sir, to entertain or express an idea disparaging in the slightest degree tho manifold and inestimable blessings which the people in every portion and section of this extended Con federacy possess and enjoy, from having its broad segis extended over them. No, sir, no; it is the richest iaher itance ever bequeathed from sires to sons. That it may not only continue unimpaired, but improved and improv ing " till time itself shall lie no more" is the sincere and devout prayer of the humble individual who now addresses you. But I do intend to say, liccanse I tielieve it, that this Government should be administered, and all its advan tages and blessings secured to and enjoyed by those for whose benefit it was established, and should be perpetuated lor a much less sum of money -money drawn from the hard earnings and stinted comforts, if not limited necessaries, ol öetter men and citizens than many of those upon whom it is lavished with a prodigal hand, that they may luxuriate in the splendid and extravagant circles of Government sinecures. I intend to declare, as my well matured and settled conviction, that this Government should be administered in all its vigor all its purity fully accomplishing each and every one of the great objects intended to be secured by its patriot found ers, lor less than half the amount which I have shown is required by thoe now charged with its administration, Its ordinary expenses should not, in my opinion, for every branch of the public service exceed twenty-five millions of dollars. It has been said that "governments are so far republican as they embody the will of the people and carry that will into practical operation." It might with equal truth be said that the Ircedom of the citizen is sc cured In exact proportion to the protection of his natural rights, it is the natural right ol the citiScn to promote his happiness by all the means which God has endowed him with, but no one has the right naturaily to mar the uappincss oi anotner in oruer to promote ins own. Among the nrst and greatest of man's natural rights, is the right to appropriate the fruits of his industry and of his toils to his own wants and the promotion of his happiness. Bnt as many individuals arc incapable of protecting themselves in "the exercise of all those rights against all other persons, communities are formed and governments established. Our theory is, that " governments are established for tho liencfit of the governed." Ibis, I believe, is correct, nnd should be carried into practice. How, i may he asked, can it be accomplished I answer, by bringing the government to its legitimate and originally-intended functions and objects. Bv seeuring to the people, collectively and individually, fn every part of the country, all the advantages and protection lor which they can legitimately look Lo this uovernrocnt. To secure this, have as few officers as possible let all the operations of the Government be simple, and intend ed alone to accomplish tho purposes lor which it was designed calling upon the people for the smallest amount or proportion of the fruits of their toil, by the judicious and economical expenditure of which the Government could te successfully administered, and its blessings and advantages extended to and enjoyed as equally as pos sible by all. Some of the gentlemen upon this floor, it seems to me, have their entire sympathies enlisted in behalf of the African slaves in the Southern States of this Union, and all their energies arc exerted for the amelioration of their condition. Why is thin, and what is slavery? Slavery, as I understand it, is that condition in which an individual is subject to the will of another, in which condition he cannot appropriate the products of bis labor to his wants and comforts, but tbe individual to whose will be is subjected, controls not only his personal actions and gives direction to his employments, but also exercines unlimited control over all the earnings and products of his iaoor allowing so mucn tnereoi as ue mints proper to the wants and necessities of the individual over whom ho has this control; tho balance, if any, he appropriates to Ill's own wants and comforts, and not nnfrequently to cf; extravagant imluljeuces and excesses. ThU, sir; I inl

derstand to be slavery; and every individual is just so

far suhiccted to that condition, iu proportion to the amount of his labor which is required and taken from him, with his consent, if you pleasn. to minister to the wants.comions, and excesses ol others. Jian, ny tne iaoor oi nis hands, can produce or make but little beyond his contin ually - recurring wants. And when an individual is seei possessed of great wealth, enjoying not only all the ne ccssaries of life, but all the luxuries that idleness and the abilitv to command can conceive, it may be put down as a fixed fact, that so great wealth was not the produce of the labor of the hands of its possessor, nor of any other ono individual, but was and is tne aggregate earn ings, perhaps of thousands of honest, industrious, good citizens, gathered and accumulated by the wiles, the arts, the wits, and superior sagacity of some successful trader or speculator; or perhaps by some fortuitous circumstances or special good luck ; and not unfrequently by the action of the Government, by conferring special privileges or giving fat jobs and good contracts. 1 here are two classes ot persons in me uniteu staies tbejar.-rayers class is much the and the tax-consumers. lue former the larger in Bumlcrs. If we could have exactly the right number of the latter, and pay them precisely a just compensation for their services, perhaps there would be no conflict of interest between the two; but that would make a great ditlerenee in the amount annually drawn from the tax-payers to support the taxconsumers. What, let us inquire, is the probable annual average profits of the laboring men of the United States? I have no data upon which I can rely with certainty. But I suppose that the average annual prohts of each la boring man in the United States, after supporting him self, to be one hundred dollars; and this, I Ivel confident, is an extravagant estimate, far above what is realized on an average. But I desire to be alove rather than below the true estimate. Then suppose there are four millions of laboring men in the United States, to say nothing of women and children, the aggregate annual produce of their united labors, over and above their own support, would le, upon the basis I have assumed of $100 to each man, $400,000,000. I have shown that the Government requires over $52,000,000 from the people to carry on its operations for the present year: this is over onccighth of the aggregate clear earnings of these four millions of laboring men for the same period, and would require every cent of the surplus earnings, over their support, of five hundred and twenty thousand of these laborers. Now suppose that, instead of the four millions of labo rers, there were but five hundred and twenty thousand, the precise number tt produce, over their support, the er mi; r l . r-'' : V V . . , "P";v" yj ---"'1 a i Government Miouia require ti at amount ol those 1 1 I .! . .1 .1 1 I. 1. v . . it i e.rs 1 SUDra11 lo every man oi good, piain, sound, prac ncai common sense, u, unuer sucn circumstances. th "VC nunareu anu twenty tnousana laborers would not be Jll 1 11 1 1 - . a 1 1 1 1 1 tr oml nnrnrilAtoltr tlia a 1 o tno nf f li a fza-Ammnn !

This position being, then, established, although there are no specific five hundred and twenty thousand ol these lour millions ol laborers and producers set apart and designated as the individuals from whom this titty-two millions of dollars is drawn, to be consumed by the Government, docs not alter the fact that, to that extent and in the proportion of five hundred and twenty tnousana to lour minions, tuey are slaves to this uovernment. In other words, that one-eighth part of the annual earnings of each one of these four millions, over his bare subsistence, is frawn from bim for the support of the Government. It follows of course, that while no one individual of the four millions of tax-payers is made, by the operation of his Government, completely and abi.i ii '..Ii - .. soiuiciy a siavc, it is equally clear, that each one oi mo lour minions oi tax-payers is one-eighth a slave, or in exactly the proportion of the portion of his earnings aliove his support which his government requires bim to contribute to us support. If I -am correct in this, it docs seem to me that gen tlemen on all sides of this House might find ample fields for the display of their philanthropy, in ameliorating the condition of their own race and kindred, their brothers, friends, and ftllow-citizcns, for whose benefit alone this government was established, and for whose Itenefit only it thould be administered in pcipetuity How, 1 ma be asked, can this be tlonei By rclorming me oovernmem in me rcuuction oi taxes; iy reducing the amount required by the government; by abandoning the impolitic, extravagant, and unconstitutional system of ocean steam mail service, by which the government is contributing in a urea t decree to break down all com. petition, and monopolizing the carrying trade upon the hijrlj seas jn the hands of a few companies, the favored . . r .1- . i i ri? --"nur oi me Ku eminent : uy ream-in" your mintary establishment to what it Miould be in tune of peace, instructed as we are, by our experience in the late con tett with Mexico, that even in time of war the chief re lianc-e of the government must be nnnn the citizen soldicrs of the country; by reducing voul navy to the actu ai wants ami necessities oi me country, u tne icnue could le applied to this branch of the public service by a judicious hand, it could, as I confidently believe, be reduced without prejudice to the country, or any one of its great interests, from the annual cost of over eleven millions of dollars now required for its support, to less than half that sura. And by all means there should be rigid and thorough reform and reduction in almost all branches of the civil department, commencing right here in this body, composed of the people's chosen Representatives, and in the other end of the Capitol, where there are as flagrant abuses and as wasteful extcnditures of the public moneys, under the head of the contingent fund of the respective Houses, as nnvwherc else. I will give one instance: the contingent fund of tho Senate, appropriated for the present session, is $238.000; nnd that lor the House ol liepresentatives the moderate sum oi jii.vyy. and makinr. loaethcr. soxf.HTJ some thing like three times as great as the entire cost of the State government of Tennessee, including her Execu tive, Legislature and. Judiciary. Your salaries should lie equalized not upon tho principle that has found al most universal favor with Congress, that of increasing the salary of some favotite upon the plausible pretext of loag experience, unequaled in quantitations, sincere devotion to the public interest, and a faithful discharge of his duties; and not unfrequently the most powerful apI peal is made of a largo and dependent family still growing. The efforts of friends to increase the salary of a favorite, based upon such arguments and consider ations, seldom fail of success. The object once accom plished' it is then urged, with equal zeal, that the salaries of those who occupy similar positions shoald be made equal by increasing them to the same amount. The magnanimity and sense of justice of members are appealed to, and the great principle of equality urged: me tiling is cone tne enu attained, by leveling up. In the whole course of my seven years' experience in this House, I have no recollection cf an instance in which salaries have been equalized, by leveling down the one or two lavorites to the plain upon which bis cuuals stand. This is a vstom by the operation of which the tax-payers suffer, and the tax-consumers are invariably benefited. But that is not the kind of equalization which I advo cate. 1 think that the several State Legislatures are the best judges of the amount of compensation which should be paid to the various public olliccrs. within their respective limits. 1 would take their action as a stand ard. Hut I would not blindly adhere to it. I would. however, assimilate the salaries of persons in the employ of the United States, as nearly to those of whom similar services in the respective States are required, as sound discretion and experience would seem to instify. At present there is too great a disparity in the salaries of -state and United States olhcers of almost every description. I would rejoice to see them more nearly approximate equality by the downward leveling policy. It would have a salutary influence upon our country and its institutions. Many of those who now seek employ un der the United States, because of the greater amount of compensation to be received, would, under the altered state of things, prefer to take ollico under their State, where tuey could te at home and among those thev loved and appreciated. States rights, and through the States the rights of the citizen would be more closely . . . i watched and rigidly contended for. and the power of the General Government, and its encroachments upon and assumption of the rights reserved to the States and to the people, would lie more vigilantly guarded against and f J energetically resisted than at present, l he great t ed eral car would be compelled to keep on her own track I tbe one prepared and laid for her by the people and by the States in 1737. Suroly "a consummation most dc-J voutlv to be wished for." There are various ways by which, in my opinion, the expenses of the government can le greatly reduced in tho civil department, without detriment to the pnblie interests. I will now return to the consideration of the lalioring producer; the tax. payer and bis connection with the go vernment and upon the basis which I assumed, give a" ' . . . I a a. a ' few instances to show how many of them are required to toil continually to contribute the aggregate amount of tho various salaries paid by the government employ, ees. For instance, the salary of the President is twen. fiIV0 thosanJ dollars. Üpon the supposition that elach PrtK,acc.r earn one hundred dollars a year more than '! rei""" to support him, it will require every cent of tho clear earnings of two hundred and fifty of mese laoorinrr men, these protlueers, these tax-payers, who are, according to our theory, the real sovereigns of the country, to Bay this prendcntial alary. Tim ard two hunnred and fifty freemen of America made slaves to the Presidf ht, or fn that proportion of the Jiroductive! industry of the" coantry. Take tho case of a head of one of the Executive De partmcnts, whose salary is six thousand dollars, and upon the same lais, sixty laboring men of the country are mado his slaves hy operation of law. And for the support of the head ol a bureau, whose salary is three thousand dollars, the entire, clear earnings of thirty poor! jucd arc annually required. The vame rtiH fj Jr

through all the branches of t.-e pubho service. A chief

clerk, with a salary of $2,000 consumes the surplus products or twenty citizens. The clerk with a salary of one thousand dollars only, requires what Is equal to the clear annual profits upon the labor of ten men. And. sir. two men. at annual nay of three hundred and sixty-five dollars each, authorized by an act passed at tavj present session to Joal in the sbaue, and watch the crriss in the public grounds around this Capito!, are to have the clear earnings of more than seven men, who are certainly as good by nature, and far better by practice. I am certain will not be denied. The nay of Sena tors and Representative's Is eight dollars each per day. and eight dollars for every twenty miles, by the usually traveled route, in going to and returning from the seat of government. The present session to and including the month of August, now half gone, will be two hundred and seventy-two days, and the pay of each member for the session to that time will be two thousand one hundred and seventy-six dollars, from which it will readily be perceived that each member of Cnnrri. wliil - . . . - . . w ' . -i me uouy remains in session, is appropriating to him sen the asgresate clear earnings of the rabor of aliout twentwo of bis fellow-citizens, exclusive of what he receives for mileage, which in a few instances exceeds the prr diem pay of the member. This, it seems te me, should prompt each and every one of us to devote ourselves diligently to the discharge of our public duties, and the speedy dispatch of the important measures before us. and upon tue fate of which many think depends the weal or woe ol this highly lavored land, I could multiply instances from the army and the navy to prove the positions I have taken, but I will not. It is only necessary,-in order to ascertain what portion of tne prouuciive ministry oi tne country it taxes io xecp in the public service a public officer or to defray the cost of any branch of that service, to ascertain what is the salary of such officer, or what is the amount of expendi ture to the particular brauch of the service, and apply the rule, and the thing will ascertain itself. I do not pretend that the position which I have assumed can be verified with mathematical precision, but as a basis upon which may be ascertained how and by what means the government is carried on, and from whence its resources are drawn ; that the whole superstructure is reared upon and supported by the industry and labor of the country that all its resources arc drawn from that fountain; and to warn those whose interest it is, that the govern ment should be administered for the least possible pro portion of their hard earnings, in order to have all the protection and advantages, designed by its establishment, secrred in full and unimpaired force ; to be on their guard, scrutinize the conduct of their public servants, and hold them to strict accountability for the manner in which they shall dispose of the public treasure; which, after all, is but tbe compound extract of the bones, the muscles, and the sinews of the working men of the coun try. Guard well and keep within proper bounds the taxing power and all will be well. Insure economy, prevent the collection of more taxes than just enough to meet the legitimate wants ol the government, and there will be no cause of complaint of extravagant expendi tures.

The creat difficulty, heretofore, ha been to get a machitie hy which atraw coald be cut with rapidity and ease. Many machine liave been tned, but mon of them have been two complicated and expensive for general use.; The preat consideration has been to get a machine simple in ita cons true tion, so that it would seldom pet out of repair, and to be dura ble, and to cut eay. All thoae ohjecta have been accomplished by the recent invention of Ma. 2m.th, of Richmond, Virginia.Wherever it has been used, it is acknowledged to be superior to all others ever used. It baa been but recently introduced into this State, but those that have ued are faishly pleased with them. Mr. f . lampiieii, tue proprietor ol all the principal mail routes in this State, ha had several in use at different stands and has given the following statement a to their performance: "'Smith's Patent Straw Cutter has been used a few months in our stable in this city, and at different stations on our mail rentes, and we can safely say that they have performed much better than any other machine used by us.
