LINTRICUM." .Mr. Chairman, these fifieen small bills which I have just read have been selected from several large bundles ofothera, because they afford a fair sample of the kind of ex 'posses that are daily incurred on account of • the palace establishment. And I must bo permitted to say, that I vannot see the propriety or the justice of the President of the. United States in sad tiling the Public with all the little dis'nirse nients of his household. He receives an annual balary •of twenty five thousand dol• !ars, in gold and silver, which- gives him -008 50 per day, or $2 81 for each and every hour that passes during the four years of his presidential term. If he enjoys him self five hours at a state dinner, he rises -from his feast $l4 05 richer than when he sat down. If he sleep eight hours, he is sure to get up from hie state bed 822 48 better off than before he closed his eyes.— Neither does the amount of his income de pend upon good crops, good seasons, good farming, or good prices. On the contrary, 'whilst it is not diminished by any or all of those circumstances, which so vitally affect the income of the farmer, the President's salary is in fact always enhanced in value, in proportion as the farmer, the mechanic, and the poor laborer suffer. I ask you, there. fore, whether it is just and equal for the President to.charge the farmer, the mechan ic, and the poor laborer with the costs of making his sheets, -pillow-cases, and ser vant's aprons—with the pitiful price paid for hemming, yes, hemming his kitchen rubbers, or dish cloths—straining cloths, or strainer rags? The poor farmer has not on• .ly to purchase a churn, milk strainers, and fikim'mers for hs own family, but he is al so taxed to pay•for a churn, milk strainers, and skimmers for the President of the Uni ted States, and for hemming his strainer rage into the bargain,. The poor laborer, with his filly cents a day, has not only to provide his own coffee pot and pewter spoons, but he is compelled to purchase a col:lee-pot for the President, and pay for the spoons used by the Presi• dent's servants. Ay, sir, ho is taxed for the cost of grinding the knives which the servants in the President's kitchen use in ea ting their. victuals. The President of the United States, in my opinion, should have had more pride of character than to charge the People with the price of his plate war• niers, his toasters, his market baskets, his tart pans, arid larding needles to stuff his puddings and saucissions. Martin Van Bu ren must suppose, forsooth, that the farmers, mechanics, and laborers of the United States are so very stupid, or so very good-natured, that they will without a murmur, consent to be taxed with the prise of his liquor stand, and for silver and gold chains to hang label:, around the necks of his "foreign barrel shape flute decanters, with cone stoppers," tow prize his sleek, prim court guests that he has introduced to the palace cellars "Mar cobruner Hock," Batailly Claret," "Towers Port," ''Romance Burgundy," "Rsvini's Palo Gold Sherry," and "Red Seal, old, bot tled FL I. Madeiia." I had thought that it was bad enough for the farmers, mechanics, and laborers of the country to provide hay and pasturage for Mr. Van Bu:cn's race and carriage horses; to pay for the manure on his potato, celery, cauliflower, and asparagus beds; to pay the hire of a British gardener to topdress his strawberry vines, cultivate his vegetables, and construct boUquets for his palace saloons; hut, sir, to hem his dish rags, pay (Ur his larding needles and liquor stands is mil worse. Aye, sir, worse. if possible, than filling the apartments in the Douse of the American People with royal and imperial Wiltons, foreign cut wino coolers, French bedsteads, and one hundred dollar artificial flowers. it is worse, sir, because there 19 a dtigreo of littleness in the thing which de monstrates as clearly us if it were written in characters of living light, that the seta of Martin Van !lame is so very, v.:.ry, v,.ry diminutive, that it might find abundant space within the barrel of n milliner's thimble to perform all the evolutions of the whirling pirouette avec Chasse a suivant, according to the liberal gesticulations practised by the most celebrated danseure. If there was the least necessity for taxing the People in the metier 1 have mentioned I know well they would bear the burden without grumbling; but, sir, there is no in telligent man residing at the sent of Govern ment who is not satisfied that Mr. Van Bu ren lays up annually from fifteen to twenty tiousand dollars. Can you inform me, sir, what great expenses incumber his purse, which any other respectable gentleman who occupies n spacious mansion in this city has not to meet? All the individuals at the head of the various Departments of the Govern ment have to hire horses, stables, pustu rage, gardens. and gardeners; they have to purchase household furniture, raise their own vegetables, and buy hay for their cat tle: and yet they manage not only to get along comfortably, but to hold brilliant soi rees, and make duito a display in carriages and equipage, on $6,000 per annum.— There aro but two items in the expenditures of the President which can exceed in amount the disbursements for similar objects incur red by (abet respectable householders in Washington. I refer to his state dinners and palace servants. In regard to the former, a pretty fair es timate can soon be made. Ile probably gives 25 state dinners during the long ses sions of Congress, and 15 at the short ses sions—being an overage of twenty dinners aunually with 40 guests for each. 11 we allow $2 to each guest, the actual cost of a state dinner will be $BO. 29 state dinners would therefore require 81,000. The sum of 62 for each guest is a very liberal ellow• once, and within a few fiance cf the price paid by Louis Phillippe King of the French, the richest monarch in the world, to his purveyor, for providing the most sumptuous banquets at the 'Fuilleries and Fontainbleau. In relation to the number of palace servants I shan not be rigid. lam willing to allow 25. In that number I intend of course to include all servants thud may be employed without as well as within the palace walls. presume the following offices will suflice the President-1 charioteer, 2 postillions, 4 footmen, 2 outriders, 2 grooms, 4 French cooks, 1 butler, 1 chief carver, 1 cup bear. er, 1 porter, 1 turnspit, 1 scullion, and 5 chamber servants. Ido not deem it prop. er to name a "keeper of the President's dogs"—although the "keeper of the King's dogs" in England ie no inconsiderable no bleman; Mid a recent London paper announ ces that "Lord Kinnaird, the new master of "her Majesty's btickbounds, has just tak en for four "months Colonel Cavendish's mansion at St. Leonard's, within about ten miles of H incisor, for the purpose of being within the iminedinte neighborhood of the place of official duties." Excelleut servants can be hired in Washingtan at from $8 to $lO per mouth—twenty-five servants would therefore at $lO per month require a dis bursement of $2,000. Now, sir, notwith standing my admission that twenty-five pal• ace servants may be necessary for Mr. Van Buren, I am unwilling to concede that a real bank Whig could not go ahead very well with one fifth of that number. I have supposed, sir, that the state dinners and induce servants of Mr. Van Buren may to. gather possibly demand an expenditure of $4,500. 67 50 811 52 To that amount may be added about 82 . 500 for provisions of every kind, fuel, oil, candles, and corn for forage, and we then have the gross sum of $7,000, which embraces every cent that Mr. Van Buren annually disburses for clothing and orna ments to decorate his person. And it ho is vain enough to spend his money in the purchase of rubies for his neck, diamond rings for his lingers, Brussels lace for his breast, filet gloves for his hands, and labrique de broderies—de bougran 'Nan cy handkerchiefs for his pocket—if he chose to lay out hundreds of dollars in supply ing his toilet with "Double Extract of Queen Victoria," Emu do Cologne, Triple Distil led Savon Daveline Mons Sens, Bouquet and Arabic, Corinthian Oil of Cream, L'lluile de Rose, I ledysomia, Concentrated Persian Essence, and Extract of Eglantine, the latter the most charming perieme for the assembly or boudoir, imparting to the handkerchief an agraerible, refreshing, and lasting odor, and "patronized by her most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria and her R o y a l H ig h n ess Dowager Queen Adelaide" —if, I say, Mr. Van Buren sees fit to spend his cash in buying these and other perfumes and cosmetics for hie toilet, it can constitute no valid reason for charging th 3 farmers, laborers, and mechanics of the country with bills for hemming his dish rags, for his lar ding needles, liquor stands, and foreign cut wine coolers. I have now, sir, arrived at the last class of expenditures for the palace establishment, viz: "Alterations and Repairs." And in this department, after a thorough examine. tion of the official vouchers, I am constrain ed to state that there exists more extrava. gance, if not more downright profligacy, than in any other. In the district of coun try which I represent, a man is said to "re pair" his house if he patch the old roof, or put on a new one—or if he weatherboard or paint the outside—or if he hang a new door, or mend the hinges, latch, lock, or other fastening of thet old one—or if he re place sound panes in the stead of broken window glass—or if he faster, the old man• tel-piece, or put up a new ono—or if he tneod the old floor, or lay a new floor.— All these various improvements, and a thou sand others of a similar character may be, legitimately, called "repairs" of the house. By an act of; Congress, passed 3d of Marco, 1 ,4 37, the sum of 87,800 was appropriated "for alterations and repairs of the Presi. dent's House, and for superintendence of the grounds around the same." Now, sir, having explained what I understand by "re.: pairs" of a House„ and having referred the committee to the [city, sul.mit sundry f: - ,r dit.bure-m.,ut under that Bill of C. Crphokteior, from the 11th of March,lB37, till the 16th May, 1837, 81,037 35. Contaiumg among other charges the fol. lowing: PRIVATE OFFICE.

' Received for repairs of chandeliers, &a for the President's House, one hundred and fifty-dollars. 1 have just read five several bills, which exhibit an expenditure, udder the act of Congress last mentioned, for what are do nominated 'repairs of the President's house,' during the first six months of Mr. Van Bu ren's term, amounting altogether to the sum of $4,127 98. By these bills we are taught what is meant by the phrase "repairs of the President's House," in the palace vocabu lary. 1 t appeals that "repairs of the Prost dent's House" consist in buying scarlet da mask and Brussels carpet for the Presi• dent's office; scraping or scrubbing, and making window curtains for the same; pur chasing silver paper and green silk for the Green room; and removing furniture from the Audience room to the Major's room and from this room to the Audience room; taking down window curtains, washing and making them again, for the Square room; taking down window curtains,and taking up carpets, in the Circular and Blue rooms; put ting up window curtains in the Major's room and Mr. M. Van Buren's room; making and laying down carpets; making hell-pulls, pur chasing divans, cleaning and repairing chandeliers, pier tables with French figures, column astral lamps, candlesticks and pla teaus. 1 think, sir, the farmers, mechan ics, and laborers will judge the foregoing items to be a very strange kind of "repairs oftiie President's House." They will have no hesitation in p: onnunctng that there is scarcely a single dollar included in the Ibre going bills which can with propriety be said to have been expended in "repairs for the President's House." I heard a gentlemen remark, with most cutting severity, while speaking on the subject of "repairs of the. President's House." that "it was the duty of the Government who first built the house to keep it in repair, and shelter Its occupant from the rains and winds of heitvon." Don't you he;ievo, sir, that the Pi esident adopts a most admirable mods to "shelter" hini, ailf from "the rain and winds of heaven" by expending the appropriations made by Con gresa "for repairs of rho President's House," in baying silver paper, scarlet damask, and grern silk; in fixing 'bell pulls,' cleaning or regilcling plateaus and cornucopia bracket branches; taking down and potting up win dow curtain'; laying, down and taking up carpets. and in removing the furniture from the Audience room to the Major's room, and from the latter to the Audience room'? The honest truth about the whole matter is this, sir. Scarcely $509 have been ex pended during the last twelve years in ma king legitimate, real, permanent "repairs of the President's House,' excepting on one occasion for painting the entire building in side and 'outride, for which a special appro priation of $3,401 was voted by Congress. The Representatives of the People have been gulled—yes, air actually gulled, with the idea that largo annual appropriations have been necessary for "repairs of the President's House," that it might not "fall to pieces and go to ruin;" and when those appropriations have been made for "repairs of the President's House," they have inva riably been expended in the manner I have indicated. But, sir, the phraseology of the act of Congress passed 3d March, 1837, as before mentioned, embraces the word "alterations" as well us the word "repairs." What do you understand by the teem "alterations?" I call tell yon what that word signifies at the palace. if the broad walls of the East Room have been hung with "paper of the lemon color, with a rich cloth border," and if the lemon color should be proscribed by the palace dundieit as unfashionable, the word "alterations" would in this supposed case apply with remarkable dearness, and would enable the master of the house to substitute "a rich, chaste and beautiful" sil ver paper, with golden borders, for the un fashionable "lemon color, with a rich cloth border." It sometimes happens that the "alterations" suggested to the President aro so various iii their character that he is una ble to decide on their respective m.er►ts.— In difficulties of this sort he has been known to call in the aid of a professional artist, by whose p 1 ins and drawings the mind of the President may be aided in arriving et safe conclusions.

DEMOCRATS! DEMOCRATS E D ! "The Democratic party support MEN IT IS TRUE, and NOT MEASURES." [Compiler, Aug. 18. Deinoeratic Meetings. Our readers will perceive by the culls for meet ings in to-day's paper, that our Harrison friends are awake and girding on their armor for the great conflict which is appivaching. We hope to see these and any similar meetings that may ho cel led, well attended. Let no one think it too much to give a day to his country, in the hour of her greatest need. She will richly repay the aacri• Lice, should victory perch on our banners, by the increased security, reviving prosperity and bright hopes for the future, which she will then extend to his reach. Let the watch-word In “Harrison a nd Democracy!—fair pric , . an•i full wages for the Laborer and Mechanic--no standing Army— one Presidential term—and no taxation!" Our Ticket. Tho men who compose7o are and have long born known to the people, and we shall sny nothing _about their personal qualifications, nor to the disparagement of their opponents. It is not necessary. and we are sure they would not desire it. They are known to be the warm and active sup porters and friends of Harrison, end the principles for which, under his banner,the Democracy of the c , untry is now continding: opposed to Van Du ron'e infamous Standing Army project—opposed to any further augmenting of the State debt, and taxing the people enormously to pay it—in favor of n TitritTof protection for our own manufacturers, in which Pennsylvania, and Adams county has so deep an interest—and also, in favor of a distribu tion of the proceeds of the public lands . among the States, which would enable Pennsylvania to pay oil her immense debt, and relieve her citizens of the greatest part of their heavy and burdensome taxes. We believe the ticket gives general satis faction to our friends—that the men composing it enjoy the confidence of the people, and that they will continue to deserve it. We say then, to all who wish for a change of affairs, to prepare to give a hearty and effectual support to the ticket, and let the triumph of sound principles on the second 'Tuesday of October next be but the harbinger of the more glorious victory to ho achieved et the Presidential election. Tito stronger your vote at the first, the heavier will he you r majority at the second: for it will be received by both friend• and for as the measure of the Harrison strength in this county: and should it fall short of what it should be, the one will lie proportionably depresied and the other encouraged. Van Buren's Standing -Army. Prudent and politic persons never or rarely re sort to a lie, when the truth will answer their pur pose as well or better: because to do so, would be unnecessarily running the risk of detection; and however unscrupulous end venturesome they may be when they have sumo end to achieve, few men are Intel enough to court the risk of detection and exposure, without •some proportionate object 'in view as an equivalent to the hazard incurred.— Einmetimes, ver, when the bare, naked truth wilt not sorve end they_ rtr,r nrioid to risk a direct fdeehood for fear of detection, they resort to equivocation, end by inuendoes, which, if conve nient, they mac afterwards disavow or explain, seek to insinuate what will serve their purpose. If. for example, a man is accused of having done an act, his participation in which is notori ous to hundreds, bare denial would be useless;— hut, it ho can lay hold of some other transaction just sufficiently like the ono of which ho is accu sed, to ho by the undiscriminating and unreflect ing, iniqtaken for it, and then assuming that to he the charge, show by clear evidence that in this last he could not pesibly have bail any agency, he may succeed for ixtime by leading men's minds thus astray, in confounding and bewildering at least, if not convincing them. These reflections have been suggested to as, by the course of the President on the subject of the Standing Aimy scheme, devised by him and his counsellors, to complete the work of destroying every thing like substantial liberty in Ibis coun try. First, in December, his 'ecrctary at War, Mr. Poineett, in his annual report made to the President, and by the latter transmitted to Con gress with his annual message, sketches the out lines of this abominable project. No idea was then entertained that it was going to he received with so universal a burst of execration, as it hes since met with. Accordingly, we find Mr. Van Buren, in the same month of December, in his annual message, speaking of the said plan es un folded in the said report, expressing his approval of it, and laying that ho could not too strongly recommend it to the attention of Congress.— Three months afterwerds, in response to a call (rein the militia committee of Congress, the Sec retary at War, in another report, unfolds his arbi trary and despotic plan more in detail, giving it in the shape of a bill or law, divided into sections. &c.; but being in substance the same as his plan of December, only more minutely drawn out. - After it became apparent that the Governitent had miscalculated the readiness of the American people to how Ihtir necks to the yoke of a master. and that they were rising in their might to hurl from power, the daring plotters who so rashly unveiled their designs, it became expedient to per suade them that Martin Van Buren had had no knowledge of or participation in the project, bed never assented to or approved of it, and that it was entirely Mr Poinsett's own; and Mr. Poinsett, very complaisantly, consented to become the scapolost,to carry off this sin of the President into the wilderness. But it would never have done to do this, with. out some false coloring to mislead and deceive.— A direct and flat denial of all knowledge of or consent to. the Standing Army project by the Pre• sident, without something else to draw off public attention upon a false issue, would at once have been met by the inquiry-- "Why. Mr. Yen Buren, "how eon you deny that you knew of thin plan of "your Secretary's? Vas not his report made to "you in December, containing the chief features "of it, and did you not see end read it? How "can you deny that you assented to it,when in your "message to Congress. you referred to it, and "said you , could not too strongly recommend it to "their attention?' " pAnnorn The "Magician" had too much cunning to risk himself in so frail a boat, although he had no ob jections to see his friends tempt tho waters in it, in the hope that they might providentially swim. 80, when he himself conies out on the subject, in reply to the Virginia Committee, he cunningly overlooks altogeteier, his message end the Seem taty's Report of December, and effects to believe that there is no other foundation for the charge that the plan was his and approved of :sy him, but the report made by Mr. I'oinsett to the com mittee of the House of Representatives in March; arid then, with this crafty assumption on his lips, lie asks with great apparent confidence, •glow is "it possible that I could have approved of and •recommended in my message in December, a "plan contained in a paper that did not make its "appearance until three months afterwards?" This was a piece of disingenious evasion, wor thy of the "little magician," and of him alone.— But, before it can serve his turn, he must blot cut and rbliterate the records containing his Message and the Report, ;nude to him, of his Secretary at the beginning of the session of Congress; and then after having done this, he must also "ex punge" them from the tablets of memory—a task which it will require something more than °draw ing black lines around," to achieve. Infamous Conduct of the A gents of the Administration --Porter's office-holders are all alike--all like himself: In estimating and paying the contractors nn the Gettysburg Rail Road the most open fraud, swind ling and oppression have been unblushingly prac tised. We pass over until another week, the vil king of the Engineers in estimating the work.— The mode of paying the money which oppression admitted to be due to the Laborer, will be briefly sketched. Jacob Ziegler, i bankrupt political partizan, was appointed to disburse the $15e,000 due oh this work. The contractors had been so long kept out of their dues that many of them were obliged to give assignments of their estimates to raise money, and to secure their creditors.— Some gentlemen had given six or eight assign monts of portions of their claims, bearing different dates. Of course the assignees were put into the place of the contractors, and entitled to receive their money from the superintendent, according 'to the priority of the assignments. When Mr. Ziegler received the money from the State, the assignees who had all given him previous notice of their claims, called on him fur payment. But instead of discharging his duty according to law, and honesty, he demanded from 2,6 to 5 per cent. for pa) ing over the money. And to such as refu sed to pay this extortion ho withheld payment, and paid the money to subsequent assignments, which would give him the bribe. He rejected as signments made for fifteen months, and paid those made but two days before payment! In the latter case the assignee could well afford to pay 5 or ten per cent. rather than get nothing. Several such cases occurred when the latest assignee conspired with the corrupt Superintendent to save himself by cheating the earlier assignments, and dividing the plunder with the infamous agent. We give a few examples: On the 24th any of December, 1838 and 9th of January, 1839, Col. Longwell gave two nssign rnents to Mr. Johnston to secure him for two notes in which he was his bail for, about $1,300, with interest. Copies of the assignments were filed with Mr. Ziegler on his first appointment, as Superintendent. When the money' was drawn from the State Treasury, and before any of it was paid out, the assignments, and notes above refer red to wore presented to Mr. Ziegler, with a re quest to pay thorn. lie stated that ti n y were the &et assignments and entitled to be-paid . , but un less Mr. Jel.naton give him the amount of the in tcre.•t (about 18 months, end amount >r I WO he would not pay them. Thin Mr. J !maim) refused to do, as he wan n ailary officer, vceiving tr,:it.) per month from the \ Stale, for disbursing the money. Ziegler perehtcJ. and paid the money aft cut upon subsequent ati.igmn.•nta, a f.v , of which we give to show their later di,tvs: Assignment In Morris & Co., dated 21d July 1839, for the sum of $378 98 Kemp & Ducky, 25th Jnn. 1839, 908 14 Dingman & Kyln, 11th June. 1839, 1054 2 t Z.

Clarkson, 14th July, 1840' 1492 08 All thiliand about as much more. fl mounting in all to about $14,000, was paid to later orders, and Mr. Johnston's assignments, dated December, 1838, and 9th of January, 1839. were left unpaid, and lost by him. In the prepared cases (most of them at least) the officer took private bribes to vi olito his official duly, and cheat those who refit sed to minister to his corruption. The Superin tendent's office was made a shaving shop to screw from honest men their hard earning, and enrich the worthless. The Superintendeat boasted that ho cared not for the anger of the injured, as he could have his account passed by the Auditor Ge neral, and they were without remedy. This is the same man who sometime ngo said the contrac tors ought not to be paid, as they were not pun ished enough yet! All these things were made known to the Auditor General. But why expect justice from the late Treasurer of Vemingo court ty? They are all equally corrupt. If the Super intendent feels himself aggrieved he knows the remedy. We nro ready to prove what we assort. we shall resume this subject at leisure. Chap ma.,!! "With heart awl soul, This Ball we roll." The Green Mountain Boys, ever true to them selves and correct principles, have sent little Mar tin a message which stands upon the wall against him—" Wanting," "Wanting!" Tremble tyrants! the Republic is not yet surrendered into your hands. The prairie fires are sealing the Noun feline—they are kindled in yanked land!—the Green Mountains are thoroughly purged from the mould of Loco focoism! Look out upon the Al leghenies! Vermont is "oil korreet"—she goes for Harri• son! "sod no mistake!" In the present Congress she is represented by three Whigs and two Loco focus. In the next she has ALL WHIGS! In 1836 we carried the State by 6,951. In 1839 Jennison, (Whig) was elected Governor by 9,- 351. Now he is elected by 10,000!

It is an AdminiNtration State—and should the Harrison swell sweep off this, their stronghold, the black schooner would set sail, about the first of October, for Salt River, by the wily el Kinder hook, leaving comfortless Martin at his mansion, to mourn over his Maine-retionre.

The meeting of the democrats in favor of Haunt see and Tv cr:a, held at Merceraburg on Thurs. day last, was one of the most brilliant and cheer ing that has taken place in any part of the county. Its numbers were not as great as those of some of the State conventions which have been held; hut in propriety of arrangement; decorum of conduct; brilliance and heartfelt enthusiasm, it has been surpassed by none. The display of banners and streamers waving in the town, and borne in the procession, ere described, as having been truly magnificent. They wore all inscribed with expres sive and cheering mottos. The exercises were commenced by a prayer from the Rev. Mr. Kenne dy. Speeches were then delivered in succession, by Messrs. Chambers, Roman, Cooper, and Or ten, which were received with the most enthusi astic plaudits. At night the citizens of the town, including the ladies, (God bless them) to the num ber of one 0r . ..tw0 hundred, were again collected to hear tho Hon.
