The following story is acknowledged to be a 'good un,' but we believe it has not found its way iuto the papers to any great extent. A few rears since some roguish boys in a town not a thousand miles from the copitol of New Hampshire, persuaded Joseph N , or as he was generally called, 'Joe,' to attend Sunday School. Joe was an ovtrgrown, half witted, profane lad; and the boyi anticipated considcrabe fun; but the various questions propounded to him were so read ily and correctly answered that no one could for a moment suppose that he was not versed in theological lore. , . : i Joe was duly ushered, in and placed on a settee in front of one on which his friends were seated, and recitation commenced."-' ' The teacher first questioned the class on the regular lessons, and afterward turned to JocrJ My fnend, who made the world we inhabit?' . 'Eh? said Joe, turning up his eyes like an ex piring calf. ; ' " . '.Who made the worl d we inhabit V . i Just as he was probably about to giye the an sw-er, one of the boys seated behind inserted a pin into bis (Joe's) pants, about nine iuches below the ornamental buttons on his coat. ."God Almxgldy! V an3werji Joe in an elevated one, at the sam ; time rising to his feet. 1 ' 'That is correct, replied the teacher, 'but it if Ötnl223?ary thit yoa sh:iM ri ac in answering; a sitting posture is jnst as well.' ' Joe was seated and the catechism proceeded. Who died to save the world ?' . . . : 4 The pin was again inserted and Joe replied Jetus Christ! in a louder tone than before, again rising from his seat. 'That is also correct; but do not manifest so much feeling; do be a littie more reserved In your manner, said the teacher in an expostulating tone. After Jo had calmed down, the cxaminatioa went tm. , : .. . .i . 'What will be thefinal doom of all wicked men?' was the subject now up for consideration, and, as the pin was again stuck in, Joe thundered'out with a still higher elevation of his code, 'Hell and Damnation!, - . ; .

Extract lro:ii the Speech of Hoiii T:A; llchdrickt. ' Delivered at Indionaj'btik, Sept. 10, 1C51L - I lind thar mtifch iä now being sud by our opponents abmit extravagance in public expenditures. , Thia cliarge is preferred hv a very general Way. No roan says that Sir, "Buchanan hasexpended money without authority of Ihw. It is known to us all that not one-dollar can be taken from the National Treasu'y except upon the authority

of Congress Congress must, tirst appropiiaie'it. Tho Executive ia. responsible only upon its estimates, and for the manner in which ii. expends the appropriations. If hi advance il make extravagant estimates, 'and asks of Congress to appropriate too much money or if, after the money is appropriated, it should bo vfastefully expended,' "then the responsibility attaches to , the Executive." In a . speech' remarkable in 6very way.recently delivered by one of the leaders of the Republican party, it is brought as a ehargQ against this Adminis1 tration thai for the present fiscal , year ii has at its disposal, besides the . unexpended balances ol last year,the appropriations of the late session, amounting to C4,:000,000. When uhlill now wai the charge of waste, antt extravag.neo preferred against an .' dininistratroii m advance of fhe expenditures? -Let' the year pass around, and if it be found that , the public money has been used waste fully, or uiihoutauihoiity of hin, then wo wil! unite with you in condemning the Administration for the ret. ; , - . .. Üporf the general question allow mq to say, gentlemen, thrrv none of us can expect ever again to see the expenses of the Gov ernment ieducedto the sum formerly required . Gold has flown hito Lie country of late jfertrs by millions, instead of thousands in former years, and bank paper has increased very nearly in a corresponding ratio, so that money is greatly cheapened, and for the same purjos5. rndhiduals as well as Government require larger quantities. It was fer that reason that three sessions ago, the Republican House declare;! the compensation-of menrhers of Congress, which had been fiwd in 1819, altogether too small, and by law increased h to i?early one hundred per cent.- Our population has gone up nearly to thvrly millions; and has expanded over so great a territory, that we now have of coast and frontier more miles to defend than any nation in the w orld, and th.nt in tho recent compaign to tJtah. our soldiery marched and our transportation W:igon3 traveled a greater distance than was over com by Napoleon in his celet'i'tb'd Russian campaign; Our trade and commerce have so increased that our interest have become involved in the movement and enterprise ot other rations; and as a tirsi-clas power vrc cannot submit to wrong or i'isidt, but miist bs prepared to resent eitiier and our array erpenes are and must continue greater than" wss neeess try twenty yeus ago. Were the appropriations of the last Congress too large? Then I ask in what way is Mr. Buchanan's administration responsible? From a carefully propared speech delivered by' Mr. Letcher in the Iiouse, near the closo of the lato session, I find that, the estimates of the ' departments amount io 854.222,061 very far below the appropriations. And does any Republican 6ay that any item for "which our estimate was made,ouj;ht U bo emitted, or the amount reduced? The only power the President possesses to control aparopmtions, is that of making .recommendation to Congress and to veto ti'io bills. In his raessaire to Congress he said: "An overflowing treas ury has led to habits of prodigality extrav& ganco in our legislation. It has induced Congress to make Jarjre appropriations, to objects for which they never would have provided had it been necessary to raise tho amount of revenue required to meet them by irjcreaed taxation or by loans. We are now com pelled to paus in our career, and to scru tinize our expenditures with the utmost violence; and in performing this duty, I pledge my co-opperation to tho extent of my constitutional competency. "It ought to beobserved at . the same time that true public economy does not consist in withh jlding the means necessary to accomplish important national objects intrusted to us by the Constitu.ion. and especially euch as may be necessary for the common defense. In the present crisis of the country, it is our duty to confine our appropriotions to objects of; this character, unless in cases where jn3tice to individuals may demand a different course. In all cases care ought to be taken that the money granted by Congress shall ba faithfully and economically applied." It is claimed fhat in the aggregate they amount to $84,824,823,40 From this is to bo deducted , the appropriation for the Postollict service which is . to be paid out of the proceeds of that service $14,035,520 00 Also, the deficiency Hill which was forthe latefis- ' cal year and mainly required to maintain the au thority of the government in Utah........ 9,704,209,89 . 23,709,729,89 ' Which leaves the appropri- , ations proper made by . ' Congress for the year en- . ding 30th June next.. . . . $61,085,095,51 which is nearly ;even millions beyond the amount asked for by ; the President and his Cabinet and for which excess Congress, and not the Administration, is properly responsible. It will also bo observed that when the appropriations were made, our ; affairs in Utah were unsettled' and there was a prospect of extensive and : protracted Indian wars. Provision had to 'bä mado forthe transportation of troops and munitions of war across and tar. into! our willderness country, and thereby the I anticipated'' expenses of the army -ware-increased nearly $6,000,000.; Does any one say that Congress ought to have adjourned without making provisions for the necessities of thei country in that direction? j

rhe'aggressiy'e acts on the paiVöf En'gland towards us, tn the 1 Gulf of Mexico, last spring, aroused the attention of Congress ind the .whole "country to the importance of placing the' country 'at once' in a position to defend her sovereignty and her honor. The usual, appropriation - forthe navy , was increased nearly , 2, 000,000.' . Now,, gentlemen', with what show of fairness citn a Republican. ' question these expenditures, so far as the amöunt;- is concerned?.. ilf you say that money has been improperly expended, pr without authority of law, you are detied io present the:proof. :Wa3 not every dolhr which has bein expended by this Administration up id the iJOih of June last, save and. except the Deficiency bill, appropriated by. the. last Congress? And did not the Republican partv

have the control cf the IIous, during that Congress, with Mr. Bank's Speaker to appoint the Committee, aud.with. Lewis D. Campoell at the head of the' Ways and Means Committee? and if the appropriations ve re-extravagant, (and 1 believe that v. many particulars they ' were : grosäly so,) that Republican Iiouse mtfsl bear the reponsibility. 1 I charge tho responsibilities on the1 House" for, Under the practice of the. Government, appropriation bills as well as revenue measures originate in the House, and that body has a very large control over ;he National Treasury. Then the expenditures made by Mr. Buchanan up to the 3Uth of Juno last, were by ; authority and command of laws which originated in the Republican House of Represeniatives, and which received the sanction cf that body. But we will look farther into this.- For the expenses of the Government forthe year ending June 30th, 1857, tho late Democratic Administration estimated and , asked for 54,005.757 7G, and Congress appropriated j73,C32,o9f 47, being an excess of appropriation over the estimates of SI ,826.733 G3. This does? not include the Post office approbation, of about 810,000,000, to be paid out of the proceeds of that service. This excess of nineteen mill ions was sanctioned by the Republican House of Representatives. If Congress, bv law, appropriates money for a particular purpose, rs it not the duty of the Presi dent, to execute the law, and npply the money to that purpose? These large appropriations were made at the first session of the Republican Congress, fta'd" it fs proper to add that daring that session', they granted to States, for railroad purposes, about 20,000,000 acres' of the public lauds, which, at 81 25 per acre, woull amount to 825,000,000, and carry the amount of money and public property disposed of at that session to near $10U,000,000. This includes a lame increase Fof cxjwndrttrre for printing, lithographing, puoiic Duuuing, flic, giving large ana valuable jobs. I will notice some of the specific charges made by the R-publicans, aud thän I will dismiss th.s subjects TI.ey are principally basedjupon the expenscs of collecting the revenue, and if sustained, would have rnirch force, for 1 understand that the Secretary of the Treasury has much discretion in the expenditures connected with that service. Adispropotinjn of the revenue collected at a par tzcurar post wr.h the expenses of that post, proves nothing, for the reason that much of the cost, is o'eca'siorred by the protction of the revenue and not its callection. See what an extent cf exposed border we have adjoining Canada, along which we receive but little revenue; but, if left unprotected and exposed to Smuggling, our revenue at other points would be destroyed. VTpon the lakes and. along that border our revenue ha3 bpen greatly reduced by the operation of the Reciprocity treaty; yet the Treasury department has been unable to reduce its force in that quarter, the trade having been increased, and the la oors ot tlie otlicers ot the Customs increased in eveiy respect, except the receipt of the money, and an equal force being still requip d to prevent the smug gling of goods not made free by the treaty. The Republicans institute a comparison between Mr. Fi 1 nore's administration and the late Democratic administration. Let us pursue that further. I will read from the same Treasury Report from which they read- We will take the yenr ending June 30th, 1852, that being the last whole rear 0f the Fillmore administration: "At Wilmington, Deleware, the rete nue collected was 84,481 39. ! Twelve per sons were employed at a cost of 828,131, 10." The Republicans give the, cost of that port in IC57 as an instance ot extrava gance. ' But why do they neglect to stale that the greater portion of the cost was 111 maintaining a revenue cutter for the pro tection of the revenue? The report from which they read shows the fict. It may appear remarkable that Mr. Fillmore should expend 828,000 to collect 84,000, but truth compels me to say that the greater portion went to the protection of the reve nue. Annapolis is next cited. During the last year of the late administration but 375 25 revenue was collected, four men employed, at a cost of 8G83 42; while the same report shows that at the same port during the last year of Mr. Fillmore's Administration but 3123 60 were, collected, five men were employed, at a f-ost of 82,133 80. AtOcracoke, in North Carolina, the Republicans charge that in ,1G57 but 882 45 revenue was callected, seven men employed at a cost of 82,301 52,.but they declined to inform the people that the same 'document, showed that in 1852 but 42 73 dolls was collected, two men were employed, and that it cost 2,517 70'dolJs.' I suppose I might go through with ah the cases cited with a like result will refer to but three catesi as presented by this -report. At S. AngustineyFlorida, 1852,: there was no revenue collected,? ten men" employed, at a cost of 2,9 19 16, At Miami, To,. 0.,: no'revenue was collected, four men employed, at a coit of 2,357-81. ' At Ptiget's Sound, Port Townse rid, Washington -Territory, it appears that H 1 30 dolls, was ex- j

pended, but no revenue collected, nor any men employed :. . ,r, ' " During the year ending June. 30th,-! 1852, Mr. Fillmore co'lecled of '"revenue 40165,933 84 doll3.,employing 1,530 men, at a cost of 3,865.423 28 d'ollr. while d uring the tar endrng Juiw 30th, 057, the Democratic administration' collected of revenue 64,171,034 05 doll's., employing 3,i88 men; at' it coät of 3,552.359 50 . dolls'., showing that the Democratic' administration forthe year 1C57 collected of revenue 15,005 100 21 dolls., more employed 558 men more at 41 cost of 313,063 .78 less tha i during the last year of Fillmore's Admimst ration. ..i- 1

1 do not refer to the administration of Mr. Fillmore with ny view to lessen your respect for ft, but as the easiest mode of :hargi-s" based upon a comparison, and satisfying you that expenditures made by the Democratic administration in the collection of the revenue were necessary,and incident to the service. j ; . ... For Mr. Fillmore I have a very high personal regard. During the last two years of his administtation I represent J this District in the House, w is treated by him very kindly, and gave his administration a very gereral support, for in the main 1 thought it right. As a statesman he had CO tlie confidence of the Whig party, and was entitled to cur regard. Of course, we can but regret that he allowed any portTon of his fame to be sacrificed by a connection with the Know Nothing party. The charge of extravagance is the last one that can be maintained against the Demociatic party. Its whole history is th6' refutation, tconomy m public expenditures is one of its most cherished principles.
