It is nseles to strnaU; against these figures. Von cannot shake them oil'. Mr. Wickiiffe h;is said much about abuses and peculations ; but this does not help ihe difficulty. Whv spenl more nionev
now , than the last Administration did, w ith till the abuses which have been attributed to them ? It matters nothing to the American oeoole whether thev are plundered
w ith or without the forms of law. If the present Administration is as economical.
md the last was as wasteful as 3Ir. Wick.
lilfe asserts, tlien we are brought to this
'rane result that j'vi.vfrservant spend
less money than the economical!!! If there were abuses under the last Administration, if is neither mv business nor mv in
clination to defend thetn ; ht shall I be
so carried awav with names, as not to condemn in othtrSi what I did condemn in them. Mv comnlaint is against the man
ner of administering the (iovernnionf, and
thu men ttave tailed to fulfil the promises
which they made. Cvery Administration has been taken in by defaulters and peculators, ami no reasonable man can exoecf this Administration to escape.

W. made this flourish, tlnew out a paragraph on this subject, by way of a feeler, and, as it was not answered, it was supposed tin1 trick would take. Int lie onolit to have looked into it deeper, bef ne be lent to it the sanction of hi respectable name. Now, just fheievetse of w hat I have alluded to, as taking place in the twelve months called General Jackson"-, was the tact, in the twelve months under Mr. Adams, with which they have been com pated by 31 r. Wieklifie" The appropriations for January and February, l-Jil, were lint delaved fill March, as' in iNtUt, but were made l fore the year commenced, one quarter ha in been appropi lated in advance. The " tair an I just" comparison, theref ,re. by which nearly two million of dollars appear, on paper, to have been saved, is a comparison of a series of mnthc. iu which payments were made fur expenses incurred as they went alomj, with an ofhvr series, dnriag a part t f which, (onesixth ofthe time.) lar;:e payments were suspended, or n it made at all. Aecordino to this principle of saving, a man who spends two thousand dollars a year, and pavs a he ctes, is extravagant.
ci.mparcd to one who pays one thousand, and inns in debt, or postpones his creditors, tor two thousand more; inasmuch as the payments of the former appear on iua books
to have exceeded the na meos . f'tbe hitw

unequal and unjust in another way ; tor. w hen we go back to the 1st of .March", 1'N.

tures, sis o.ivcn m the "tair and just."' They
are repn sented in (Jenoral Jackson1 x ear to have been but .i,()7C,:WS ; and hence is a Siiyin claimed of a million of dollars This fallacy will appear in several ways Il tin; Navy cost one million less last xear than the xear before, then the Secretary ouht now to have an unexpended million on hand Ibit, it he had (hat o hand, why did he apply to Congress, early in this si s: sion, to furnish a new supply from the Treasury, to enable hmi to fit "out the frigate Uraudywine? Again, if he carried the service through his first year, f.r about
three iihIIioii ot dollars, ho would require
no more, than that tor his second xear ; especiallj with a million of savings to be
gin Willi, lint let ns hear him speak for
himself ; tor it is probable he knows something more about it than Mr. Wieklifie. 1
have before me his estimate, at paj'o M'i't
ol the documents accompanying his report to Congress, in which he sav s explicitly
"that there will be required, for the sun-
u port ofthe Navy, during the ve.ar l.NUO,
"throe million, live hundred and htiy-si "ihonsiiid five hundred and forty-seven
" dollars and thirl v-fmr cents, in addition
to the unexpended balances, thai mat re- " main on hand on the 1st January, l!!J0."
I low siraime, then, that Mr. W. should
talk ofthe Navy costing but $:i,07(,:iN a

have sought to mislead the 1'euple on other

from one of " the poweisihat be," either lurmysclf or a relative. Sure I am, 1 never
shall. I hey ate welcome to all the honors
of their stations ; but 1 inn no longer to be considered, even in part, responsible fn their errors. No ni.ni in Ameiica, with
so humble an eslate, has sulkied for them
more: nor has any "n in many instances bv en more unkindly requited.
