HKTBENCHMI5IIT All REFOBM-^HIG SYSTEM Of

ECONOMY*

On do one single subject has the diabolical %roneness of Loco Focoism to mystify facta and juggle the honest intelligence of the people been exhibited in a stronger light, than in relation to the appropriation and disbursement of the public money. Notwithstanding John Tyler's unparallelled treachery and insane ambition, the Whigs in Congress have succeeded, not only in resorting the finances of the country, utter?/ deranged under the preceding administration, to a sound state by reestablishing the Tariff which has turned the balance of trade in our favor and is bringing us back the specie which took its flight to foreign lands under the system of low, horizontal duties, but they have devised and put into actual operation a scheme of economical expenditure that will amply support the government at one-kdlf the amonut deemed necessary by the Van Buren dynasty.

Let the following plain statement of facts, derived from authentic sources and incapable of contradiction, be submitted to the conside* ration of a candid people It is an extinct from the addresa adopted by the Whig State Convention in Virginia Hi March last, it tells the whole story!

From official statements of tlie Treasury Department by Mr. Woodbury, it appears that on the first day of January, there was a surplus in the Treasury arising from ordinary sourccs of revenue, of SEVENTHEN MILLIONS ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS!! 917,100,000 Additional ram accruing from Jon. 1, 1837, to March 4,1841, from other than ordinary sourccs, (Bank, U. S., &c.) When (he extravagance of the party ran hsyond the income of the Treasury, so as to require the 4th instalment to the

States to be withheld. Treasury Notes were authorized, and these were issued during the 4 years up to the 4 th Marcj|, 1841, to the amount ef' 'C.

From January 1837, to January 1841, the receipts were (The receipts from this souroc having run up from It millions in 1837 to 16 millions in 1838 From the Public Lands, in the same period of 4 years, ft,-.

A liberal minded people might deem this an ample sum making due allowtmco for tho growth of the country, especially as Mr. Adams was displaced for an annual expenditure of thirteen millions!

Upon the adjustment of balances, on tho accession of General Harrison to the Presidency, it was found that there was an actual deficiency in the Treasury, of TWENTYFOUR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS and thnt this deficiency was concenled from tho public previously by the insidious method of ^postponingdebts actually due, and borrowing "from the resource® of one year to pay the debit of a preceding yoar. This practice was kept up during the wbolo term of Mr.

Van Buren, and the purposes of concealment were the better accomplished by a resort to Treasury Notes instead of loans.

Mr. Woodbury and Mr. Calhoun have both conceded (what, indeed, they could not well deny) thnt a National Debt existed, on the 4th March, 1841, to the amount of the outstanding Treasury Notes, upwards of fire millions of dollars. Rut ifiese gentlemen carefully avoUfed reference to the deferred Appropriations made by Congress, which, with 4ho outstanding notes, swelled the debt up to the amount we have staled, $24,000,(MX). Indeed, Mr. Charles J. Ingersoll, one of their $arty, acknowledged, in an address to his iconstiluents, that tho debt was tuxnty-hoo millions of dollars! I The items of this debt, however, are condelusively set forth in a Report of the Comjwiiiteeon Public Expenditures,of which Mr. (Meriwether of Georgia, wns the Chairman, durit the winter of 1841-*2.

Said committee reported the following preamble and resolutions, which, after due consideration, were unanimously adopted:

The True Whig, publish**! at Washington, reminds ita readers and the public, that in ten years previous to Gen. Jackson's war on our currency system the number of Banks created waa twenty-two, with a capital oi *8,000,000 lhat in the next ten years, the number of Banks craatsd was two hundred and sixty-eight, with a capital of §368,000.000 that the former banks were generally sound, ana that the latter have generally proved unsound and that the Locofocos are now breaking down the very currency they gave us, bad as it is, and are last reducing us to the condition ol no currency at all.

And pass it round, w« add that, by the reports of the the Secretary of tbe Treasury, it appears that the tank bills in circulation in the whole of the union in lolo, amounted to #68,000,000. This was before the charier of the aecond United States Bank for four year*,— The charter of that Bank waa then grantwi, with a capital ot thirty-five millions of dollars. Did any expansion follow I Oh no—very far from it. Fourteen years afierwtrda, or in 1830, the whole amount, of bank paper in circulation, from all the banks was ®61, 393,893. Being a decrease in fourteen years while the United States Bank was in operation, of nearly acven ntiUioitt*

Well, what next The President vetoed a bill to rechaner the Bank in 1839,and then what followed! In 1837, the bank paper in circulation had inereaved to 149,185.890, or an increase in seven years of 987.861,• 999. These things are worth looking at. The fe«a are indisputable.

THE CABINET.

?The National Intelligencer has the following article on the subject of the recent rumors in reference to Mr. Webster's movements

The distant papers are full of rumors of changos in the Cabinet, or at least of one important change in the retirement of Mr. WEBSTER, from the office of Secretary of State, and the appointment of a successor. Same of our contemporaries have found a place for the retiring Secretary in the London Mission, in place of Mr. EVBRETT, shouid that gentleman accept the appointment China.

We believe, from what we hear, that it is true tbatJkJr. W*BSTBR will resign his sitttation in" the Department pf State in a few days but we do not credit the idea that, in nny event, he would be appointed to the London Mission. That he would be willing to go abroad, for a particular or specific object of importance—- an object of such a charactcr, for example, as thnt hinted at in tho New York Courier and Enquirer of Thursday—is probable enough but wo hardly imagine that he would leave the country to take upon himself the duties of an ordinary and standing Legation. Indeed, we understand thnt Mr. WEBSTER has at present neither nny desire nor any expectation of going abroad at all. So, at least, say his friends, who are likely to bo welljnformed. .}

DEATH

LN THE VVOODS.—The Bangor Ga

zelle gives an affecting account of a death by starvation, in the forest, hear Linnius, Maine*., Two boys whoso names are not

home, but soon discovered

that they had lost their way. Night overlook them, and they were obliged to remain where they were upon tho snow till morning, when cold and hungry, they resumed ihoir wandering for the da v. But darkness again came upon ihem, antf they were obliged to pass the night upon the snow.

At dawn on the third dnv they started once more upon their uncertain journey, hut before night one of them sunk down upon his snow shoes in state of complete exhaustion. The oilier, being stronger, kept on, hoping to meet some one to whom he could communicate the situation of his companion, and at length reached a lumberman's camp but he was so overcome that, for some time, he wns unable to give any account of what hod taken place. When he had in a measure recovered, he stated in what manner he had left his companion, and several men immediately went in search of him. They found him, but he was dend. Ho had fallen backward from tho position in which he had been left and evidently had breathed his last but a short time befrire. Me was not frozen—his limbs were hardly stiffened—he had evidently died from starvation.

We mentioned day or two since that a verdict for upwards of $200,000 had been rendered in the U. S. Circuit Court for New Yoirk, in favor of the United States, in the suii brought by the Government against Jesse ftoyf, late Collector of that port. The New York American says that Mr. Hoyt resisted .the demand of the United Elates, and claim'en tliat a balance waa due him of 192,087.

BUNCOMBE, die.—

The New York Plebian. of Apfil 1st, gives the following explanation of the origin of these phrases: "Buncombe county is in the extreme west of Carolina, among the Blueridge mountains. A few years ago, a raw country attorney came to Congress from that region, and be gan a speech one morning before the house assembled. Rising solemnly "in his place," he turned towards the colored man who was sweeping around the Speaker's chair, "Mr. Speaker," said he, "render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto Mrs. Caesar the things that are hers for a man are a man all over the world, and a hog area hog. Sir, I'm opposed to that thar bill—it's a transparency to alternate the con-sty-tu-shy-on. Mr. Speaker, G—dd—ri you?" The negro dropped the broom and stared around tbe hall, and then at the orator firmly persuaded that tbe man was crazy, he ventured lo remonstrate. "I tink massa's outer/ pon de count dar's nobody here 'cept me and Jim what's out side." The orator raised his head peremptorily—wsh—sh, nigger, Fm talking to Buncombe!"

The true character of Ike Plan of Wm. Cost Johnson explained. The falsehoods of the hmfoco* made tutntfetiljy*. .""'//"

To escape from their misorablf poeitiotf of .'?l raising money by direct taxation from the ,w pockets of the People, in order to pay the Stale debt, the Locofoco Party seek to hood-

wink the peoplo by giving-a false nfttlie^ to ,|, the proposition introduced by Mr. Johnson in^ to the last Congress for the relief tf the States. A proposition which the Locofoco Party lose no opportunity to abuse*,?. Wo willendeavor to explain that plan? in a few words, to the reader.

The indebtedness of the States amounts uddoubtedly to alout $190,000,000 the interest upon which is mores than 911,000,000. The payment of this Debt in these times of unexampled pressure, by Direct Taxation, is almost wholly out of the question.

To obviate this intolerable load, Mr. John* son conccived a measure of policy which is nothing more than an extension of the proceeds of the sales of thj public lands. He proposes that the General Government shall issue 9200,000,000 worth of stock, which is to be distributed to all the States in proportion to their ratio of representation, and that the proceeds of the sales of the public lands beapplied to the payment of this stock. The stock so issued is to bear an interst of four per cent, per annum, and it is a rational conclusion thnt foreign bondholders wity readily exchange their bonds and State stock— though calling upon their face for six percent. —for Government stock, (thoughYi this dK mination of two per cent.) which has so am*^ pie a guarantee for redemption as the public lands. This, then, is but an exchange of State for Government stock, in consideration of* which, and as its indemnity, the Governmental receives the surrender, by the States, of tlioir interest of the Public Domain. On the part|| of the Government therefore, they are onlysjl advancing what, in the end, tho Distribution! act calls for because the States relinquish to^ the Genera] Government the proceeds of their lands until the stock notes, so«tssued, shall be^ redeemed.

Thus,in effect, the General Government is?1* only asked to become tho endorser for the States upon the faith of the property of the States. Having thus endorsed, the States redeem their own bonds with those of the Government the Government pays them, and pays itself out of the States, share of the Publie domain. Thus the peoplo are relioved at once, without taxation. The annual shipment of specie, to meet interest on this debt, is saved, the present amount of which^ow annually transported for this purpose, is 9400,000!

This, Reader, is tlie Locofoco-abused plan of Mr. Johnson, which is falsely asserted by them to be a proposal for the Government to pay the debts of the States.—Ind. Jour..:^^-\

We conscientioualy believe that of all the en ran which have yet come upon this nation, Loootncoism is tlie direst. It is doing all that it can to aop the foundations of our institutions, sad to infect the opinion of the public with diseased sophistry snd rotten immorality. It has already proclaimed, in thunder tones, its. belief in the right which it ssys the State snd General Governments nave to repeal contracts solemnly entered into between themselves snd their citisens. It is in favor of a bastard sort of fres-trsde, by which the enterprise and industry of the country are to be crush-. ed beneath the iron heet of foreign competition. It has already sustained a system of public plundering on tbe offices of the Government, snd hsvtng shown no° contrition for sustaining such iniquities, it is but just to conclude that it is still resdy to uphold depredators and pecttlators of all kinds, provided they can compensate it for its tolerance by bringing some influence to its support. It for trampling tbe Constitution of the sountrr under foot, whenever that sacred instrument ., raises its venerable form between them and their ob-1 jects. It has done this in more than one instance.?/ which we need not st present particularise. And itp now, in several States, proclsims that nullification is lithe rightful remedy for what it considers uncoastituions is buses, and repudiations just means of cancel- *, ling tbe public indebtedness.

These, we are sware, are charges of tremendous import against thisparty. Bat we can prove every ons= of them most adequately, by the adduction of tesiimony ample and conclusive. When Locofocoism lifts its' brazen front above tbe mists in which it is now obscured, and the dark brand of repudiation is seen upon it, as the red mark on the brow of the first murderer, thousands, who now adore it, wilt certainly renounce their. idolatry, snd join with the honest men in the ooontry to effect its orerthrow— ZjntuvfU* Journal.
