Upholding by his voles and speeches, JOHN ADARIS’ STAN DING ARMY! When the republicans of that day in Congress, Giles, Gallatin, and others, moved the reduction of that army, HartiSon went with the Federalists in sustaining it. 'litis Was in December, 1739:. Congress adjourned in May following—and eight days after. General Harrison Wor appointed Governor of Indiana hy John Jdams! and this, too, at a time when Adams wasdcclaring that the .republican party ought to be ground-to dust and ashes!

No man in Ilia sober sen ses would think so, and none but a modern feder alist wpuld disregard truth So much as to say aj, INDEPENDENT TREASURY. The following is the fourth section of an act entitled “an act to establish the Treasury Depart ment,” approved on, the Sd of September, 1789, by GEORGE WASHINGTON: “Sec* 4* At\d beitfurthef enacted Thatitshall be the duty of,the Treasurer 1 to receive and KEEP the moneys of the United .Stales, and to._diBb.urso die same,.&c.

The Fedora! Editors keep stereotyped in their, papers,in many instances, the ATRQCIO.U.S LIE, that under Mr* Van Boren’s the.expenses of Government nave increased from Thirteen Millions h Thirty-nine Millions. Our Democratic friends should bear in mind, therefore, the following. Facts; , Ist. The expenses of Govemment, for the year 1839, instead of Thiriy-nine as stated by tire 1 opposition, were only THIRTEEN MILL IONS, tnnEE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND, AND EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS, AND EIGHTEEN CENTS! This appears from an official , statement of the Secretary of the Treasury, and is Undoubtedly correct, ■ 2d. Taking into consideration the advancement .■ofthe Republic in resources, wealth, population -&CS for the last twelve years, the expenses of Gov ernment have absolutely been less since Gen, Jackson’s election, than the y were before ! This has been repeatedly shown in Congress by the friends ofthe Administration; and the Feder alists have,never to disprove it. . 3d-. The Prosidentand the HeadaofDepartments have no right a dollar of the public money until it has been first appropriated by Congress; dnd the Federal party in Congress has always been thb Party \f and the Democratic Party the Party of, Economy!

What would’nt thev do!— Our readers gener ally will recollect that sometime last spring, Mr. James Cameron, superintendent of the Columbia Rail road, was deliberately shot iu the side with a' pistol by R. W. .Middleton, the editor of a Fed eral press in the city of Lancaster. The wound was very severe, and for some days it was con sidered doubtful whether Mr..C. would recover. A prosecution was instituted against Middleton, and he was bound over to answer lbn charge of an attempt to murder,' Tho case came before the Grand Jury of Lancaster county at its recent sess ion, when the charge was fully substantiated by the prosecution. This Was sufficient, we should think, for .the Grand Jury to have found a “true bill,” as no contradictory testimony, is heard before that body. But not so^—the Grand Jury, with but three or four exceptions, was made up of Federal, Antimasons, no doubt packed for the express pur pose of screening Middleton, and, contrary to rea son and justico.and law, with the facts of the out rage staring them in the’ face, they returned the bill “ignoramus!” . It is not bur p'urpose to say whether Middleton was or was not justified in making the murderous attempt he did—nor docs it alter, the case in the . least. The Grand Jury, had nothing to do with any defence that might be attempted on the part of Middleton. This.was not their province. They Were bound in duty to report a true bill on the' strength of the evidence adduced by the prosecu tor, and. it remained for a Traverse Jury to decide upon his guilt or innocence," But this course did not suit the classic consciences of a packed Fedcr-* al Grand Jury—hence tho bill was ignored.
