November 19.1858. nov2s—tf. ~IP® L D T a © A L FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE! Wliat it Costs to he Governed ! The Washington States, a Democratic paper, in contemplating the extravagance and corruption of the government, ex claimed : “ Why arc the people so patient ? Why slumbers the indignation of the De mocracy V’ We repeat the exclamation. The tiles of democratic papers are full of evidence that they regarded Mr. Fillmore’s administration as recklessly extravagant. They paraded it on every occasion—they prated about it every day. Their indigna tion never slumbered then. Their Presi dent joined in the hue and cry. 111 a let ter on the subject he said : Wheatland, Feb. 23, 1852. “ Gentlemen : * * * On what is sue, then, can we go before the country and confidently calculate upon the support of the American people at the approaching Presidential election ? I answer unhesi tatingly that we must fall back, as you suggest, upon i,: ’ v v a rigid economy in public expenditures. ‘These expenditures have now reached the enormous sum of Fifty Millions of dol lars per annum, and, unless arrested in their advance by the strong arm of the Democ racy of the country, may, in the course of a few years, reach one hundred millions. The appropriation of money to accomplish great national objects sanctioned by the Constitution, ought to he on a scale com mensurate with our power and resources as a nation; but its expenditures ought to he conducted under the guidance of en lightened economy and strict responsibility. I am convinced that our expenses ought to he considerably reduced below the present standard, not only without detriment, hut with positive advantage both to the gov ernment and the people. JAMES BUCHANAN. Mr. Buchanan has lived to he President, and has lived to fulfill his own prophecy. That the people may see with what rap id strides the expenditures have approxi mated the enormous sum of one hundred millions per annum under his administra tion, we append the amounts for the last years of the two preceding terms, and the first two of his : 1852—Fillmore, $36,552,080 37 1856—Pierce, 60,402,401 64 1857—Buchanan, 64.778,828 85 , 1858—Buchanan, 83,856,727 00 Thus it will be seen that “ the strong arm of Democracy,” relied on by Mr. Bu chanan to stay government extravagance, has fostered and nurtured the wildest and most reckless profligacy, and shielded cor ruption in its rankest terms. W ell max the Washington States, in its issues ot the March, 1859, exclaim, “Why are the peo ple so patient —why slumbers the indigna tion of the Democracy!” The Public Printing, the Public Build in o-s, the Naval Contracts, the Post Office Department, and, in tact, every branch of the Government, that could be made to yield a farthing, has been seized upon by a horde of plunderers, under the toleration, if not with the connivance of the Execu tive ; and in proof of this assertion, we give the language of several prominent Democrats. In a speech in the House of Represent at ivec, near the close of the last session, Hon. A. 11. Stephens, of Georgia, I said: “When he first entered Congress in 1843, the expenses of the government were only : $30,000,000 per annum. The country had gone through the expensive Mexican war, with sixtv-tliree thousand soldiers in the field, for thirty-three millions, and now, in time of peace, the estimates were seventy three millions. Many expenditures were wholly unnecessary, and reform was indis ! pensably needed. He believed forty mil -1 lions an abundance for the national cx ‘THE UNION OF THE STATES:-DISTINCT, LIKE THE BILLOWS; ONE, LIKE THE SEA. M TIIOMASTOX, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING. MAY 19. 1859. pense.” Hon. Andrew Johnson, Senator from Tennessee —also good Democratic author ity —referring to the same subject, said in a recent speeeli in the Senate : “It is in the power of Congress to pre vent these enormous expenditures; and if we do not interpose we are responsible for them. This government, sixty-nine years of age, scarcely out of its swaddling clothes, is making more corrupt use of money in proportion to the amount collected from the people, as I honestly believe, than any other government on the habitable globe.’’ Gen. Shields, one of the Democratic Senators from Minnesota, in the course of. a debate in the Senate, also took occasion to say: “I think it is not saying too much to declare that this country has gone faster and further, in ten years, in extravagance, than most other countries have done in centuries.” The Hon. M. R. H. Garnett, of Virginia, in a recent speech, said : “Can any gentleman pretend that it is fair, that it is just, that it is legitimate, that the expenses of this government in time of profound peace, should have dou bled in six years ? Look through the list of items, and you will find that the expen ditures have doubled in almost every item. Is there no place to apply the knife ? The Committee of Ways and Means tell you, that they cannot control these expendi tures ; then I say that the only way to control them is the some way you would control any other extravagant person ; that is, by stinting them in money.” And all this is under Democratic rule ; a Democratic Cabinet; a Democratic Con gress, and Democratic officials in all the administrative departments. O, “Why slumbers the indignation of the Democra cy—why are the people so patient.” From the Washington States, (Demo cratic,) of March 7th, 1859, edited by R. A. Pryor, we make the following extracts in regard to the public printing : “The Public Printing Plunderers. —The fact that for the last five years the American people have been subjected to an annual extortion of nearly a million of dol lars, on account of the public printing, is a circumstance which will not escape com ment, even in this age of corrupt and ex travagant expenditure. It is a striking, instance of the perver sion of Federal authority, that in addition to its many other illegitimate occupations, the central government has engaged so largely in the incompatible business of a publishing concern. “It is a signal attestation of the decay of official virtue, that the appropriations for this unwarrantable purpose have been squandered in bribes and bounties to the very officials who were appointed to pro tect the public interests. “ It is a deplorable mark of the progres sive deterioration of political morals, that the exposure of peculation of the most atrocious character rarely provokes more than a gentle expostulation from the men in authority. # * Hi # o “With the view of inviting public at tention to the abuses which abound in al most every branch of federal Administra tion, we reproduced, a few days ago, the report wherein a committee of the House exhibited the fraudulent practices of the Printing Department. It is a document of the very gravest interest. V V* V v* “A certain A. G. Seaman was Superin tendent of Public Printing from December, 1853, to December, 1857. During a part of the same period a certain Cornelius Wendell held the office of Public Printer. A more congenial couple never existed, even in fiction. v # V- # “Notwithstanding the cleverness of these two consummate rascals, and their studi ous endeavor to “cover up their tracks,” the committee convict them of receiving bribes and bounties—the former to the amount of $39,000, and the latter to the amount of $30,000. Ot course, these fig ures do not represent the full extent of Seaman and Wendell’s operations. In the main, their practices were such as to elude detection ; and whenever they ventured in to the light they were careful to assume an almost impenetrable disguise. Still enough is ascertained to show that both Seaman and Wendell have plundered the treasury upon system, and have incurred exposure to the penalty of imprisonment in the penitentiary. v v V V V 1 s.' “In the examination of the accounts tor engraving and lithographing, the commit tee find that the hooks of various parties did not correspond with the certificates is sued.

In this way the editor of the “organ” realized the snug sum of $12,000. “The testimony shows that large quan tities of paper, inferior to the samples by at least a difference of thirty-three per ! cent., were accepted from favored contrac tors ; that thousands of documents were receipted for as printed and bound that were never delivered; that thousands of voluminous documents were paid for as printed which were not printed ; and that thousands of the most valuable publica tions have disappeared without any ac count V? $Jf IK # $ “These are astounding developments; but they are of a pieee with the prevalent practices in the federal capitcd. FROM THE BY WAYS AND HIGHWAYS OF THE GOVERNMENT, THE ROT TENNESS OF CORRUPTION SENDS FORTH AN INSUFFERABLE j STENCH. Why are the people so pa | tient 1 Why slumbers the indignation of the Democracy l See they nothing dis- I creditable in the fact that the “ organ ” of | the Administration is under that ostensi ble control of a detected swindler ? Have they 110 word of surprise when they discov er that the President retains Cornelius Wendell as his conjidential u organ,” after the public and official exposure of Corne lius Wendell’s corrupt practices as a func tionary of government P Cornelius Wen , dell is still Public Printer, not in name \ but in fact: is there no popular protest against the connivance of Congress in his employment since the discovery of his frauds and peculations l Others may he indifferent to such an ignominy ; hut, for ourselves, we intend to lash the malefactor till the party is purged of his infectious presence, and the treasury is protected against his piratical operations.” A few days before the adjournment of Congress, the following debate took place in the Senate, which we copy from the pro ceedings of Congress : “Mr. Wilson amended by cutting down most of the miscellaneous items, advertis ing, mail hags, wrapping paper and . post office blanks, making a total saving of over SBO,OOO. In reference to the blanks, lie said he knew a case where Mr. Rice, ed itor of the Pennsylvanian, had a contract ffir printing blanks for $40,000, which cost him just $5,000, the profit being divided, fifty per cent, to the Washington Union, five per cent, to Mr. Appleton, Secretary of State, and three per cent, to a paper published in the interest of a member of Congress. “Mr. Mason said if the facts were so, it is due to the Senate and to the country for the Senator to lay his information be fore them. “Mr. Wilson reiterated the statement, and said that Mr. Rice himself had said so, and. moreover, that the arrangement was with the cognizance of the President of the United States. “Mr. Cameron said the matter was so notorious that everybody, except perhaps the Senator from Virginia, must know all about it. Mr. Rice was, until recently, a creature of the President, hut they had a quarrel, and he went about blabbing all about it. “Mr. Mason —Did Mr. Rice tell the Sen ator so ? “Mr. Cameron —The way to get this in formation is to appoint a committee of in vestigation, or sue me for slander, and that will bring the evidence. lam responsi ble for all 1 say, here, or elsewhere. Just bring here Billy Rice and the President. They know all about if, and I think my colleague knows something about it too.” The sum and substance of this charge is, that a contract was made with Mr. Rice, of the “ Pennsylvanian for the printing of Post Office blanks, ostensibly for $40,000, which really would not cost but $5,000, and with the distinct under standing between the contracting parties and the President, that $35,000 of the money was to he distributed among the friends of the President, including the as sistant Secretary of State, and that this was done with the knowledge and by the consent of the President himself. We are happy to know that before the Senate fi nally adjourned, Mr. Cameron moved the appointment of a committee of investiga tion, which was carried. The charge is made by two Senators, and one of them vouched for the facts on his individual and senatorial responsibility, and invited a suit for slander if it was denied. With such facts before us it may well he asked : “Why slumbers the indigna tion of the Democracy ?” “ Why are the people so patient ?” We have an affection for the State of Alabama, and dislike to see any portion of her citizens making themselves ridiculous, but the following resolution adopted at Montgomery, Ala., indicates a want of in formation, or a want of regard for the truth which would hardly be excusable in a pub lic meetihg of Fejee Islanders : “ Resolved, That the only general party orgnniznth'n which professes torespFct the rights of the South, in negro property, is the Democratic party; that the overthrow of that time-honored party will insure the triumph of the Black Republicans, under whose rule it is impossible for the South ern people to live, without moral degrada tion and imminent peril to social order ; and that therefore it is, we believe, the imperative duty of every patriot to labor zealously for the success of Democratic nominees, and the carrying out of Deiiio cratic principles in the administration of the federal government.” We do not know who composed the I meeting. It is probable that there were men in attendance, who were and are our I friends, and it gives 11s no pleasure to chronicle the deplorable ignorance they have manifested. We commend them to at least a two days study of the papers be fore they hold another public meeting.— Me mph is A vala neh e. American Meeting’ in Crawford. At a meeting of the American Party of Crawford county held in the Court-house at Knoxville on the 3rd inst., on motion of S. T. Feagin, Esq., Col N. H. Mobley was called to the chair, and H. A. Troutman requested to act as Secretary. The chair man briefly announced that the object of the meeting was to select delegates to at tend a Convention of the American Party of the Third Congressional District. On Motion, a committee of nine, consisting of Messrs. John F. Troutman, Isaac Dennis, Giles Chapman, Marcellas Mvrick and oth ers, were appointed by tlie chair to select suitable persons to attend said Convention, and to draft resolutions expressive of the meeting. The committee after having retired a lew minutes reported through their chair man, Mr. John F. Troutman the names of the following gentlemen as suitable dele gates, viz : S. T. Feagin, E. G. Oliver, F. A. Ansley, Esqrs., and Col. Raines—and the following Resolutions— Resolved, That the American Party of Crawford county have still a deep and abi ding faith in the wisdom, patriotism and integrity of its principles as contained and set forth in the Platform of said Party in the Macon convention of 1857. Resolved, That in the measures therein suggested we can only hope for the preser uation and maintenance of our just and equitable rights under the constitution. Resolved, That the corrupting influence and wasteful extravagance of the present Federal Administration in the enormous expenditures of the People’s money, ap peals to honest men of all parties and sec tions to combine for the accomplishment of its overthrow, and for the defeat of the corrupt party that placed it in power and now sustains it. Resolved , That we cheerfully and fully commend the manly, noble, and patriotic course of our able representative, the lion. 11. P. Trippe, during the whole of his Con gressional career, and it is with feelings of unfeigned regret that we learn of his rumored intention to decline a re-nom ination for Congress from this Congression al District. Resolved, That we would suggest to flic Party in the different counties composing the Third Congressional District to meet in Convention in Forsyth on the Ist Wednesday in July to nominate a candi date for Congress. The resolutions having been read, it was moved and seconded, that the report of the committee be adopted, which motion was carried unanimously by the meeting. E. G. Oliver, Esq. then .moved that a copy of the proceedings of this meeting he furnished to the Journal & Messenger and Georgia Citizen, accompanied with a re quest for publication. There being no other business under con sideration the meeting adjourned. N. 11. MOBLEY, Chm’n. 11. A. Troutman, Sec’v. A Mean Vice. —Lying is one of the meanest of vices. Aristotle Jays it down for a maxim, that a brave man is clear in his discourse, and keeps close to the truth. Lying in a discourse is a disagreement be tween the speech and the mind of the speaker, when one thing is declared and another meant, and words are no image of thoughts. Hence it will follow that lie who mistakes a falsity for a truth is 110 liar in repeating his judgment; and, on the other side, he that relates a matter which he be lieves to be false is guilty of lying, though he speaks the truth. A lie is to be meas rued by the conscience of him that speaks, and not by the truth of the proposition. Lying is a breach of the articles of social commerce, and an invasion upon the fun damental rights of society. Like gunpow der, it is all noise and smoke ; it darkens the air, disturbs the sight, and blows up as far as it reaches. Nobody can close with a liar ; there is danger in the correspondence ; and more than that, we naturally hate those who make it their business to de ceive us. Were lying universal, it would destroy the credit £of books and records, make the past ages insignificant, and al most confine our knowledge to our five serue. ¥1 5J Ni ©-U ©y§.
