This is. on an arerage, *31.938.170 a year, and the re-

Another consideration connected with this subject, and I
Inve it for the present.
Beside, the reiterated charge of great expenditures in
.mount under Mr. Van Buren. which the Whigs engaged to
TL an j reduce to about tlnrteen millions annually—but
which.instead of lowering, they have actually increased,
from tlie twenty-two and a half millions ot hia last year, to
nore than twenty-six millions in one and higher than that
oroposed in another year—they complained grievously that
Ibe expenses under Mr. Van Buren were not met by the
rrrenoe of esch year. It is true. that including appropna-
"on, added by Congress, and large drawbacks of revenue
Estopped, though requested, a deficiency occurred of
Sout five and a half u illiona in the whole four >e»ra; and.
in consequence of that, aomething like that sum had been
added tothe temporary debt on the 4thof March, 1841, when
Mr Van Buren went out of power. (See Mr. Forward s
report to the Senate. No. 41.5an.JO. 1643.) But this was
nfUiole „f the false forty million debt, created under
Vdm while an to the *26.742.948 debt—which, according to
the annual report from the Treasury, now exuta-.fi of
, but that five or six millions, ha. been created a,nee. ex.
«ot .boot a quarter of. million of the old rtubt. and a mil-
lion and a thud assumed by Congress cn account of the
