THE F.XPENCES OF THE PACT It PRESENT ADMINISTRATION CONTRASTED. The amount of expenditures in a gov crnmentdepepds in part on it general polic) , whether extravagant or economi cal, and in part on trie exigencies ui ine times. L-jokingic all lliese, it is manifest that the expenses under the adminis'ra lion of the whigs liavc been much high er, and less jusiifiable, than Ihona under Mr. Vbi Buren. f Though our oppo nents assailed hU administration with many gross exaggerations on this topic, nnd made numerous pledges of reform, it hag turned out in this, as in many other matters, that ail those pledge have been for fulled, and a deceived community con safely plaee no further ronfi lence either in their statements 01 promisee. A moment lo the proof of this. The exigencies thai affect the expenses dur ing Mr. Van Uuren's administration weni numerous Among, the Florida war was very burdensonie,lhe overflow ing revenvc, anil the bank expansions of 1835 and-lS3G, led to larger appro priations than usual for the extinguish ment of Indian titles, die clearing out of livers and harbors, the erection of pub lie Lmluing, furis, and light-houses, smd for several other objects deeply in leiesting lo many parts of 1 tie Union. Under such stiong Impulses, the in creased expenseo ior those objects were generally voted for by both whigsandj democrats, and could not be immediate ly stopped, though their reduction be t;an the very fust year of Mr. Van Bu ten's term, and was again and again urged on the consideration of Congress by the proper organ of tho Treasury Department. It will be seen by ihe tabular statement, soon given, that the netual expenditures were in this way lesiened sevtral millions every yesi during his term, till in lhe last one, (1840,) thej equalled only about twenty two millions and a third. As conclusive evidence of this reduc tion here is an exhibit, officially given by the present secretary of the Treasury, in his annual repoil of December t3, 1M3 pages 30 and 31. It is the whole -expenditure for each year of Mr. Van J)uren'i administration, excluding only the debt and treasury notes, as is usual an ascertaining Ihe actual expenses. ,1837 ?33,808-274 1538 ' '31,421,058 1539 24.999,189 1840 22,351,147 .JjLtBiLit winpropescd under Ihul ad iwenly millions; and in 1842, and alter ward. , to reduce (hem loonh seventeen or eighteen million. (See the annual Treasury rrparls in December, 1839 and 1840.) ueducru as Uie expenses thus apnea to have been, it is also a fjcl that their amount would appear still lower.by ma ny millions, if ihe objects which were extraordinary and temporary were de ducted. By the following exlract fr6m an offi cial table, it appears, lhat from Ihe com mencement of General Jackson's first term lo 1839, inclusive over half of thr whole expenditure, yearly, was not on mailers ol a permanent and ordinary characler, tut on those arising from v nous exigencies, such as before alluded to, and which, in the opinion of a ma jority of both parties in Congress, jusii fieri ihe appropriations, and left the Ex ecutive, however differing in opinion o policy in some cases, no alternative, ex cepi to execute the laws, which he had sworn lo see carried into effect.

"The annual expenditure (said Mr. Cliy) may, in o reasonable time, be brought down from i!s present imount of almost forty millions to neat one third of lhat sum."

Having shown alread) thegroundlessricis of lhat charge about forty millions, let us see a moment how ihe 'deliberate expectations held out ac companying it, have been disappointed. Instead of keeping down the expenses of 1841 below twenty millions, which Mr. Van Karen's administration piopos- ed instead of economising as the exi gencies of the times and their own plcdg es required, even Jo thirteen millions, the whig), as soon as fully sealed in power, convened an extra session ol Congress and began forthwith lo vote away for money. They gave outright something like iwenly thousand dollars lo Mrs. Harrison. They added object ,fter object, and scheme on scheme,wilh out any extraordinary emergency, till, helure their adjournment, ine aggregate of new appropiialions equalled Irom five lo six millions. It was ihujthat the ex penses of thai year,instead of being kept lown at nineteen or iwenly millions, were swollen lo more than twenty six millions; and have never since been re duced by our opponents, nor proposed to on reduced so low,within eight or ten millions, as had been promised before ihe election.

A Protective Tariff. When any question of a public character is raised in a nation ot a state, holding the right of free discussion, il is the duly of ev ery man to search for light on that question. A high ptotcclive tariff has lately been made a political question in some portions of ll:c United Stales, ind especially in the stale of Pennsylvania. In the stales of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massa chusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Nou York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Del ware, .Maryland and Virginia, there are per haps, nl the present lime between lift ecu hundri and two thousand incorporated man ufaclurtng companies, with nr. amount ol hund cds or thousands of million capital in vested, Pennsylvania alone has over three bundled incorporated manufacturing com panies, nnd Massachusetts lias nearly as many mote. Nov it is urged by the ad vocntcs of a high protective tariff, thai the interests of the country would be greatly enlarged by it. They urge that it would raise competition, and in that event manu facturers would sell cheaper than they now lo' II nl this I hold lo be blind philosophy. For the largo incorporate manufacturing companies waulu swallow up (lie smnllct ones end would entirely drive individual compoliiion from the field, and would ena ble large establishments to monpolise the whole manufacturing interest. Besides a a high tariff for protection is not in tho pow er of Congress to grant. The constitution of the United States says nothing that can bo construed into a privilege or power of granting to monopolies great favors. All thai Congress has the right or the power to do in this mailer, is lo lay and collect im post duties for revenue to support the gen- ural government. They mny encourage the nanufHciure of bucIi arlieles as are indis pensably necessary for the defence of the munlry. Arms and ammunition, nnd such is are used lo equip the army nnd navy. But we will take only a single article of laily use, that now has a tariff of lliirty per cent., and one which 1 nomas J eliorson re commended to have admitted free of duty. I mean the article of salt. The salt works in the stale of New Yoik produce nearly ihrcc millions of bushels annually. This the manufacturers can afford (o sell at their establishments for twelve and a half cents TaTrVnlfie' InTeTlir-Sl 'I'e'ffn sT Wh'lfafpi Soiled perhaps a million of bushels, which cosi the manufacturer less than ten cents a bush el. Now if Mr, Jefferson in one thousand eight hundred and two thought thai this important article should ho admitted free of duly in order that all classes of society might share in the blessing, how docs it happen lhat the incorporated bodies ofthi it. lay asit inr sucn a protection ; a prolectior ol Irom Uurty to fifty per cent. The farmer and laborer now have u pay one dollar and ono dollar and twentv-five cents a bush el for their salt, and many 'of the merchsnls complain that they are making nothing by retailing at thai price. How, I ask, can that be, if salt can be had at Salina for twelvo and a half cents a bushel T Can it be brought from the hland of Great Bri tain,. or any oilier foreign port for less mo ncy : And when we consider that salt ts one of tho most powerful manures that can bo applied lo land, would it not be advanta gcous in the country at Jarge, that sail al least should be admitted free of impost duly Suppose that sail could be obtained hero al 40 or 50 cents a bushels, and that 5 bush ols lo the acre would add as muoh to the prmlnrtive qualities of the soil as 50 bushel of lime, it would bo apparent to every one, lhat sail would then open a large conimcr 'al field, if Ions where there are now onh bushels were carried on our canals and rail roads. Would it not bring a revenue lo the state, and if ovcry bushel of salt applied a manure, increased lhe productive properties of iho soil, would not the farmer have more bushels of grain to sell lo the merchanl.and tho merchant consequently have more to end to foreign markets, which again would bring an increase of revenue to the slate. Out the manufacturers of salt at Salina, in New. Yoik, upon lhe passage of the present tariff held a meeting at which a resolution was passed by which it was declared, thai die thanks of tho sail manufacturers were hie lo lhe friend of all monopolies, Hurry Clay, for the active part he had taken in support of lhe blll.and forthwith Ihey agreed lo make iheir inestimable friend a present of five hundred barrels of sail. Bui, I ask, when was it ever known thi.t an incorpora ted monopolizing company ever gave a pro sent of t single bushel of salt lo the laborer iho former or mechanic ? Whose inlciesi, then,- is idvanced by this duty on sail In n.ie- it advance die nnetal irilerent of the 'country ! I answer, no. Uul I will le I " you whose interest it does advance. h ad vances ihe interest of the monopolist ami speculator, ir.d makes the farmer; mechanic and laborer pay one dollar for a bushel of ,i ..,ii et . salt when he should only pay fifty cents. Salt by the quantity, can now be hod in I'lillaileip'ils or Ualiimnre, at prices mat between Trenie nnd Robertson sltceis.siooti would allow a fair profit and be sold here u number of large, elegant and cosily brick at sixty cents a bushel, nnd if lhe diltv was fcMdenccs, all of which aro dostrnyed.--,, n iii ir i i t '. 1 1 heir blackened walls are somo of them take off, it could bs afforded fo. forty or,.,,,, andinB. bu, a9 on ,hp olher f at most, fur fifty cents a bushel; and if it i,,n burned district lhe houses were mostly vvas thus sold, it very soon would become of wood, noihing now greets the eye of tho ouiio an article of internal commerce- It would be Used as a manure, and thousand of bushels would bo consumed in thai way, whore at present there is none, because the high price at which it is sold will not admit of its bring thus applied. Many districts of tbis'slato might bo greatly benefitted by lhe application of silt as s manure. Tho question of a high tarifl'is one, there fore, in which all classes are interested, and which demands investigation. If it can bo faiily proven by the constitution of tho U nilod States, that Congress hnj no right to granl exclusive privileges to corporafious no right to levy taxes above the necessary expenses of the government from whai soureo do Ihey dorivo the power lo grant privileged orders, and lake the haul earn ings ftom ine poor' it give them to the rich? Granl to Congress the power of laying high protective duties, such as the mammoth monopolising manufacturing corporations ask for, and you may soon see the same state of things existing here as exists under the coin laws in Great Drilain; and instead of the laborer getting belter paid fot his la (bnr, you would see t'ic iron Heel ol power placed upon his neck; because government i ....... having granted an exclusive privilege lo corporations, and they being amenable to no J.iw, there would be n un.on of interest and of action among manufacturers, lo paj such and such wages &nn inoic.tn tho same manner as there now exists a union among merchants trading in the same town or dis irlcl Any person at all acquainted with such business have seen enough to know dial one mcrrhant will not undersell the olli er in the same lown. And why, because it is their iuteicst to make as much as ihey can In like manner il is the interest of manufac lurcrs lo reduoo the price of labor, and got goternmcnt to sustain them in selling at a very high price al home, even more than they can gel abroad" NUMA.

At this point, which is near the corner of Canal and Claiborne streets, the firemen directed their Wrongest energies, and fortunately were luecessftil.
