Total.. Averag« peryeer, $86,648 34. Ft will be i»een that even 1 rffcladMg'tb^lftsf ^i on of the legislature and putting its cost at the lighest notch stated by the whigs, still the eapenitures under whig rule average ojer a«v«j thou^and doHflrsfer anoum* morfl than under deoio rat Governors.

But in counting the cost of Government, the pop |ation and wealth of a State or a country must be )ken into consideration. As population and teahb increase*, it is but nautural to suppose that te expetidatures necessary for carrying on the afCrs of State will also increase. Such at least is ta excuse given by the whigs when they are told tkt the average annual expendaturea under Mr. Flk's administration were some 82?,000,000, ^le now they are over $41,090,000.

We have before us at this moment the Auditor's r«ort for the year 1836 and report of the sarte o^er for 1851. and from these documents we will shnr the real difference between whip extrovagaco and democratic extravagance. We will not re|c( to guess work, but will quote the official recc^—its fqpts and its figures. 1836(Aud. Rep. p, 3) lhe expenditures of the Sta Government were 8103,773 21. In the same ye* the number of acres of 8&5ses*ed taxable lantwas 5JZI0.735. The number of polls was 77,(1. The total value of taxables was 447.353.886. At this time Nah Noble was Governor and th« Jugs were in power. Kven the Internal improvueiit system had not been adopted, and of cour there was no cxpendature on its account. 1nB51 (Aud. Rep. p. 64) the expenditures were 871,(0 36. In the same yea' the number of acreaf assessed land Was 19.899.G70. The number dixable polls was 151.523. The total value ofiutable* was 8208,773.643. At this time JosoplV. Wright was Governor and the Demo cratic irty held the reins of power.^,^ ,,

But order that there mty be no caviling—no room fdispute, we are willing to take the year 1852, th its expendatures of #148,0 W)—which 1s some ^,0!) more than the average of democratic expRodtires, and contrast the ability of the Slates to pav expenses under Noble's and those under Writ's administration.

If thoeader win Jgke the trouble to cipher a lulls he 1| find the T»llowing results: That the Charge Wftch taxaUe poll Tor administering the Siato Go^nment in 183$, was within a fraction of 1,36 Iiile in 1862, it 4s leas than 91 cents.— 'Hiat theft for tae same purpose for each acre of assessed 1$1 in l\35 was within a very small fraction of/aroints: Aile in 1852 it is less than nineteenths of df eent.X The contrast in favor of tho Democratioarty isWeater when we take the per centage or tfc total amount of t&xa,ulo property.

It will thui»e seenV)at while the average expenda?ures are ftw now %n when Noble. Wallace.

Yestsrday^fciL Uy day appointed for the Democratic Barbecue "Early in the morning it began to rain heavily. The committee of arangements hesitated what to do some supposing it unreasonable to expect any attendanca in such inclement weather, gave out that the meeting was posponed. Word to hat effect was dispatched in all directions but in spite of the rain which was incessant, the crowd began to collect on the ground the cannon boomed forth its thunder tones, and a band of music played its inspiring strains. About lOo'clockthe glorious Democracy of Indity^, unawed by the showers, narched into the city. The procession was formed amid sluices of rain, and multiplied as it proceeded to the wood's. At 12 o'clock the woods were filled with miles and acres of the moveing masses.

Mr, Guthrie began to speak to the multitudea that surrounded one ofthe stands. He was interrupted with shouts and cheers. In a (ew minutes he,Introduced Judge Douglas, amidst the wildest enthusiasm, it was impossible, however, for Douglas to speak in the rain. He has engagments in all parts of tiie country from this to the end of the canvass, and very prudently declined risking what might disable hitn from fulfilling his engagements. At the same time it was announced that he would speak in the evening at the court house. •Mr. Willard, the eloquent and able champion of the Democracy, and now a candidate for the office of Leutenant Governor of Indiana was called for. He mounted the stand, and made a rallying speech to an excited and delighted audience. He stood in the r»iu unsheltered, and a large portion of the crowd lowered the sea of umbrellas to have an opportunity of hearing and seeing.

Mr. Willard was followed by Mr. Monroe, of Frankfort, in an eloquent address, and by Col. Gorman, of Indiana. The day could not have been more unpropitious, but the vast multitude stood unbroken for two or three hours, whilst the rain was pouring down in torrents. Indeed, the rain nly seeinedto increase rather than diminish tho enthusiasm. We owe much to the indomitable Democracy of Indiana lor their attwyl'nce

Their banner, Inscribed with "Indiaaa greets .Kentucky ten thousand majority for Pierce and King,* was saluted with the heartiest applause and the Democratic ship from Charlestown was itself an omen of plain sailing for thi canvass and a troop of horsemen, each one bearing a hickory bough in his hand, added to the in terest and excitement of the occasion. 'Few of the multitude, however, could get near enough to hear the speakers, and made their amusement in spite of the rain. Even the dance was not omitted. The ^astronomical part attract etfvleast attention but, notwithtanding a large portion of the provisions were left uncooked, none left dLssatified for eating, was the smallest part of the object of the crowd. Take it altogfther, it waa one of the most remarkable demonstrations of popular feeling1 we ever witnessed and we doubt if another auoh gathering was ever held in this State, kept to gather in spite of the rain, which continued incessantly. Had the ^ay been fair, there is no guessing the magnitude of the meeting. Hundreds first came upbn the ground left, supposing the

barbecue was postponed, and thousands were deterred by the inclement weather. 'As it was, thenuinber was such a crowd as is usually reckoned at 15 or 25. 00,' and if the day had been pleasant it would have been three times the number. For manifestations of enthuaiasm, it surpassed any political gathering which has taken pkue ta this 6tate. «. t^. 'Rest assured the Democracy of Kentucky are fully aroused, and the electoral vote of this State, in spite Of the bragging of the Whigs, will be given to Pierce and King. The masses are in earnest, the democratic party united, and they will be victorious. 'We had expected the crowd to disperse after

(, 3^ 'f Tfce Scott Pletare Book. Of course everybody, Democrat and Htg. man woman, and child, has seen a copy of the "Pictorial Hie of Gen. Scott,1" now being, circulated by hundreds and thousands all over the country. In this precious tract may be loafed the following: "Scorr AS a TEMPERANCE —Geo. Scott may be placed among the very earliest pioneer* of the temperance reform. As long ago as 1821 he published a pamphlet (first appearing in the National Gtcette of Philadelphia), proposf&g a plat) to discourage the use of intoxicating liquors hi the U. Slates He waa first led lo this effort to lessenlbe great mischief of intemperance, in consequence of the diJScultier thai beset him in improving the discipline of ike army." Though never a teetoteiler in the atricteat sense of the term. Gen. Scott has, nevertheless, always been strictly tempeiate.V

The friends of Scott have published ai) edition of the same precious void me in the German language, for circulation among citizens of German birth who cannot read the English language. But what do you think readerl Why. this appeal to temperance men to vote for Scott is altogether omitted from the German editionl It is evident that these federal whigs took upon the germ an* as a set of drunkards jtffio would be repelled from voting for Scott if it were known to them that he Is ft friend of temperance (!!)—that their votes can be bought with a mug of beer or a glass of brandy. It is a wonder that these mendacious demogogues didn't put in their German, edition a picture representing Scott smoking a meerschaum, and in the place of that portion of the work in relation to temperance, tell the Germana how fond Scott is of tobacco and what great efforts he had made to introduce the use of it among his soldiers. To complete the deception they should translate that portion of his letter to Marcy'in which he said he had just set down to take a hasty, plate of soup, so as to read that he had just sat down to take a hasty dish of sauer kraut.

But it appears that it is not Germans only who are insulted by this electioneering pamphlet. The Irish corns in for a share of the ridicule. The Irish American, a paper devoted lo Irish interests, published in New York, thus indignantly alludes to this beautiful picture book: 'The Whigs have issued a campaign pictorial life of Scott which contains one of the vilest caricatures of irishmen which ever emanated from the filthy pencil of its evil author. In a scene representing certain returned Irish prisoners,one mania represented as kneeling in the most slavish and abject attitude, while the faoea of all are represented in such hideous deformity, that humanity has, thank God nothing equal to it. For the profile of one of my countrymen the artist seems to have studied an ape or a baboon. This is, certainly a strange way of complimenting making us the laughing stock of a nation, and then asking us for our votes for such true friends. "Save us from our friends," we may well exclaim."

The whig contcmpt for foreigners slicks out whenever they attempt to say or do any thing to induce them to vote for the federal whig candidate

Smith O'Brien

"*The rumor of SMITH O'BRIEN'S dying condition in his prison at Van Dtemn's land, under the cruel persecution of the minions of English power, has awakened a thrill of sympathy in bis countrymen at home. The Dublin Nation says:—'We have endeavored to draw aside the heavy curtain of apathy and negloct which hangs between Ireland and that fatal spot in the Southern Seas. There the Irish Captain sits mournfully in Mhe valley of the shadow of death!' Shall they murder SMITH O'BRIEN? Answer the question, men of Ireland it is the first and the most vital which Goo and your conscience demand of you. Answer it! Shall men with great purpose, and earnest faith, and stern resolve--shall they indeed fail before (he face of Heaven and earth to save that preoious life Is there no renewed effort to be made 1 Are there no virtues patient to-day in Ireland but those of meekness and longanimity Are the voices of empty bravado and vacitlftfln? pursuits, lobe the only trumpeters of her nam* throughout the world 7 What cause should claim your fealty and devotion, if this do not I Of al) national dui^s it is the highest, the holiest, the most imperative^
