The Extravagance of tlie <>]>iiosi-
TION—FACTS AND FIGURES.
The Opposition are just now loud in their
professions of economy, and in their denun
ciations of the extravagance of the 'Democrat
ic party and of the Federal Administration.
We took occasion in oar last issue to show how
little foundation there was for these denun
ciations, by exhibiting the facta and figures in
connection with the expenses of the General
Government since Mr. Iluchanan went into
office. Wc propose now to show that the Op
position, North and South, who are so blatant
in their senseless clamor about the extrava
gance of the Democratic party, arc themselves
mainly responsible. as onr great Senator asser
ted u few days ago in his speech at Lexing
ton, for tlm extravagance in federal expendi
tures of which they complain.
The public expenditures, a large propor
tion of them being regulated by law, are more
under the control of Congress than of the Ex
ecutive Department of the Government; and,
therefore, the policy of any party in reference
to them is more clearly exhibited by its ac
tion in that body than it can be in an Admin
istration of the Government. Assuming this
to be a fact, as it is conceded by the Opposi
tion to be, we present a few facts furnished
by the record of the Thirty-Fourth and of the
Thirty-Fifth Congress which are practical il
lustrations of the principles by which the Op
position are governed, in relation to the ex
penditures of the Government, and show that
they are themselves mainly responsible for
the dxtravagnuce in these expenditures for the
last few years, of which they so loudly com
plain. These facts, which follow, have been
published before in our columns ; and, we may
rematk, may be verified by an examination of
the official record of the Thirty-fourth and
of the Thirty-fifth Congress.
1st. The Legislative expenses of the House
of Representatives of the Thirty-fourth Con
gress, which was under the control of the Op
position, (having a Hlack Republican speaker,
and a Southern American Clerk,) deducting
from them the sum of seven hundred and
ninety-four thousand five hundred and eighty
dollars and sixty cents, for the difference in
the pay of members under the old and the
new compensation law, were three hundred
and eighteen thousand six hundred and fifty
dollars and forty-nine cents more than those
of the Democratic House of the precccding
Congress. The followingjs an official state
ment, from the Register of the Treasury,
which proves the assertion which we make, in
reference to the legislative expenses of the Op-
teo to Kansas. Cost, in all the expenditures
resulting from it, over fifty thousand dollars.

for every measure which was calculated to ere
ate a necessity for an increase of the tariff,
either by increasing the expenses of the Gov
ernment, or by draining and drying up the
sources of its revenue; whilst the effort of the
Democratic party was to husband the resour
ces of the Government, and reduce its expeu-
ses to its income, so that there should be no
necessity for an increase of the taxes of the
people. The record of the last Congress is
the proof of this fact.

travagant appropriations of money, introduced
in the House of the Thirty-fifth Congress,

l u ihe rcconl of the Oppos'Uon m the
1 th and TMrty-flfth Congrvss upon
agance, is it not wickedly foolish for the Oppo
sition to he denouncing the Democratic party
for extravagance? The facts which we have
given sh6w that they are extravagant from prin
ciple, and encourage in ever}- way an immense
federal expenditure. They vote for homestead
bills and agricultural college hills, which would
deprive the Government for years of any reven
ue from the public lands—for river and harbor
improvement hills—for pension bills, requiring
an annual expenditure of eight or ten million of
dollars, for the next ten or twelve years—for
bills giving increased sums of the people’s mo
ney in bounties to cities and steamship compa
nies—for hills appropriating monies for useless
custom houses and unprofitable mail routes—
for hills giving constructive mileage to members
of Congress—for bills to pay the printing plun
derers, in short, forall kinds of bills which may
increase the expenses or exhaust the resources
of the Government And yet, they clamor a-
bout the extravagance ol the Democratic party.
The Democratic party is the only party,
North or South, which lias tlie principles upon
which this Government can be economically ad
ministered, and tlie power and tlie wiil to carry
their principles into practice.
Nuts for the Ncgropliiltsts.
Fred. Cozzens, in his recently published
pleasant volume of the Nova Scotia travels,
called “Acadia, or a month with Blue Noses,”
relates the following as among his experien
ces:
TeKMISUS OF AX UxDERUKOt'ND IiAIL-
aoAD.—"We are now approaching a negro
settlement,” said my compagnon du voyage,
aftei- we bad passed the Acadians. In a few
minutes we saw a log-house perched on a bare
boue of granite that stood out on a ragged
bill-side, and presently another cabin of the
same kind came in view. Then other scare
crow edifices wheeled in sight as we drove n-
long; all forlorn, all patched with mud, all
perched on barren knolls, or gigantic bars of
granite, high up, like ragged redoubts of pov
erty, armed at every window with a formida
ble artillery of old hats, rolls of rags, quilts,
and indescribable bundles, or barricaded with
boards to keep out the air and sunshine.
“You do not mean to say those wretched
hovels are occupied by living beings 1” said I
to my companion.
“Oh yes,” ho "replied with a quiet Binile,
‘these are your people, your fugitives.”
“But surely,” said I, “they do not live in
those airy nests during your intensely cold
winters ?”
Yes," replied my companion, “and they
have a pretty bard time of it.” “Between
you and I," he continued, “they are a mise
rable set of devils; they won’t work, and they
shiver it out here as well as they can. During
the most of the year they arc in a Rtate of ab
ject want, and then they arc- very humble.
But in the strawberry season they make a
little money, and while it lasts arc fat and
saucy enough. Wc cant do anything with
them—they won’t work. They arc in their
cabins just as you see them, a poor, woe-be-
gone set of vagabonds; a burden upon the
community; of uouseto themselves, nor to
anybody else.”
White Slaves of so Account.—“Do you
know,” said I, “Picton” what we would do”
(we had just emerged from a coal pit) “if we
had such a devil's pit as that in the States 1“
“Well,” answered the traveller, interroga
tively.
•We would make niggers work iu it.”
‘I dare say,” replied Picton, dryly and sat
irically, “but, sir, I am proud to say that onr
Government does not tolerate barbarity; to
consign an inoffensive fellow creature to sueli
horrible labor, merely because he is black, is
at variance with the well-knowu humanity of
the whole British nation, sir.’’ .
"But those miners, Picton, were black as
the devil himself.” _ _
"The miners,” replied l’ictou, with impres
sive gravity, “arc blaek, but not negroes.”
‘Nothing but mere white People, Picton ?”
‘KU ?*' said tin? Iruvelldr.
•Only white people, and therefore w'e need
note waste one grain of sympathy over a whole
pit full of them.”
•Why not?" .
B 'Because they are not niggers ; what is the
use of wasting sympathy upon a rat-hole full
of white British subjects ?*•
“I tell you what it is," said Picton, "you
are getting personal.”
A Young Ladv’s Pastime in Pams.—A
Paris correspondent of The Perth Amboy Jour
nal says that there is a new fashionable epi
demic raging in the French capital; a sort of
young ladies’ work, the result of which will
lost for many generations, 'lbe process is
this: You buy a set of porcelain (Sevres, if
yon choose) as expensive or cheap as your
taste or your purse will admit of; on these
you paint beads* landscapes, flowers, or what
ever you fancy, with paints prepared for the
purpose. Then you send it to the porcelain
baker, who bakes it three tiaies, which so fixes
the colors that they become permanent, and
will last as long as the china. I have seen a
complete tea set paiuled by a young lady,
which could not be painted for $1,000. Eve
ry plate, cup. saucer, preserve dish and cake
basket was different, and very beautiful. Of
course the baker must thoroughly understand
his business, for a minute too long m the oven,
or tbe oven too hot, may destroy all. An ar
tist who had spent many months painting a
piece for the exhibition at the Palais d’lndus-
trie, among the collections of living artists,
had it cracked in the oven by waut of sufficient
care The porcelain plate alone had cost some
hundred dollars. Not long since a baker fell
asleep and broke $8,000 worth of porcelain,
for which he was obliged to pay, and was con
sequently ruined. I do not know if you hare
porcelain bakers in the United States, hut if
you had you would find this far preferable to
many other pastimes in vogue.

Discovery of an Island.
Tlie New Bedfoid Mercury learns by a private
letter that Captain Robert D. Eldridge, of the
barque Amazon, of Kairhaven, has discovered
an island in the Pacific Ocean, several hundred
miles from any land laid down on the charts
Tlie letter was dated at sea, Jan. 11, 18o9, and
in it C’apt Eldridge says uf the island:
“It Is in latitude 0 45 north, and longitude
176 35 west, very low and dangerous, and is, I
expect, the lxst resting place of the cretv of
some of the ships which have been mussed in
vears gone by. 1 ran along the lee side within
pistol shot of the beach, but it was too rough
to land; and after convincing myself that there
were no living people upon the island, squared
away again. On the highest part of the island
is a house apparently built from pieces of a
wreck with a flag-staff at one end, from which
still dangled the halyard block. Near the house
were several little hammocks, each with a toll,
upright stone upon it, evidently the graves of
the poor fellows who had escaped from the wreck
of their vessel, and died on this dreary spot,
where perhaps they spent months iu vainly
looking for a pAssing sail to relieve them from
their weary prison.
Vice Pkesident Bkeckenkiinie.—At a demo
cratic barbecue in Paris, Kentucky, on the 1st
insi., Vice President Breckcnridge being pre
sent was called to the stand, hut he only occu
pied it about five minutes. During that time
he said: . ,
The Democratic party was, in lius judgment,
tlie only political party now in existence which
US capable of taking care of this glorious coun
try. Organization after organization rose and
fell; some lived a long period, others shorter.
Some had good lungs and good braias, though
the latter were often not very sound. The bust
party which passed away [the American] looked
out upon the earth and then expired. The
death of the democratic party, he said, was pre
dicted at every election, hut it is to-dav more
healthy than ever. It is no flickering light; it
rests upon principles which its opponents can
not withstand—it can’t die—it is the only na
tional party left in tho United States—a ’fight
house set upon the headland of the sea as a
beacon light to guide the weary traveler home.
"He said that strifes and differences do arise ii
their ranks, but for all practical purposes tli
entire party was a unit.

PASSMAN’S
IRON HOOPS AND TIES,
FOR COTTON RALES.
Price 6 cents per pound, 25 per cent, less than
Rope.
Any one considering the advantages of Iron over
Hope as a material for binding cotton bales, will be
surprised that it has not been adopted long since.-—
In is security against fire, there is an overwhelming
reason for its adoption.
The presses in the seaport cities have been the
main cause of its not being generally adopted; but
now that objection is removed generally, and the
Orleans Press, the largest in New Orleans, gives it
the preference over rope. The Fassman Iron Hoop
and Tie is the improvement of one of the proprietors,
and is adopted from the fact, that it is found, after
long experiment, to combine the greatest merits in
simplicity and facility of application of anv one yet
made. It is so prepared as to require no change for
re-compressing. Thus obviating the only remain
ing difficulty at the seaboard cities.
The hoops arn sent of any length, from eight ot
ten feet, and a full guarantee given that neither the
Ties nor Hoops shall break. And farther, that all
cotton bound in them shall be received on the same
terms, at the Orleans Press, as rope bound cotton.—
The weight per bale is about the same as rope, not
one ponnd more or less.
To show the opinion shipmasters have of it, we
give the following, among numerous commenda
tions we have:
The undersigned masters of vessels, having had
cotton compressed with Passman’s new Iron Hoops
and Ties, hereby recommend the same. The bales
being well compressed, and the buttons or hoops,
never breaking when thrown down in the ship’s
hold, or when stowed.
