A member has fix dollars carh
dav during his attendance, be
fides mileage or a certain fum
per mile traveling expences;
fappofmg the whole of the mem
bers to pay ten dollars a week
for board and lodging, and that
each fpends on wine, cards, See,
ten more, each member will then
pocket a clear fum of twenty-two
dollars a week!
Calculating the feflion at
twenty weeks, each member will
then clear, after living in the
full ftvle of plenty and luxury,
440 dollars for the feflion, bc
fide all his travelling expences
paid.
But if we confidcr the pro
verbial economy of the New
England men, and we can name
thole among them who board
and lodge at 5 and 4 dollars,
what (hall we fay on this pro*
pofed augmentation of the pub
lic compcnfation ? Taking them
at five on an average, and allow
ing a few cents for cards, and
other indulgencies !—fay two dol.
lars a week ; then will each mem
ber fave out of his prefent falary
thirty five dollars a week, or 700
dollars for the ftflion.
This is not an idle hypothefis,
we know that a member of Con
grefs (and we fpeak it to his
prai(e) has purchafed a very
handlomeeflatein Maflachufetts
out of his Cdngreflional wages;
if he has fuftained ahftincrice
and o.her depiivations to effeft
this laudable economy, no doubt
it will juftify him in voting for
the addition to the allowance.
We expett indeed, that when
the quefiion comes to a vote, to
I find all the economical members
I from the eaft voting in its favor,
I and the free living members
I from the feuth who have nothing,
I voting againft the augmentation,

I do well to remember that economy
