month for clothing ? Not. enough to purchase a
hat or a pair of, boots. Would old Zack have
done this? No, sir; he would have given his
hat and shoes both to an bid soldier rather than
take a single cent fron him justly or unjustly.
And there was another thing to which he wished
to call the attention ot gentlemen. Gen. Cass
was said to be a friend to economy. He was a
very -great-economist. He takes particular care
tsftlie people's money especially when he gets it
! his own pocket. Laughter ) ' He had some
proofs on this subject to which he would refer to
the committee, and he called "upon gentlemen to
i-xamine the official documents which he should
produce. Gen. Cass, it was known, was once
Governor of Michigan and ex-officio Superintend
ing of Indian Affairs, appointed under a special
law, with a fixed salary of $2000 per annum. He
was appointed Governor, and was ex-olflcio Commander-in-chief
of the Army and Navy; and he
would nsk gentlemen had the one any more right
to extra pay than the other? But Governor Cass
not rmly drew his salary while he held that office,
between seventeen and eighteen years, but he
charged extra compensation while drawing his
salary of $3000 per annum, amounting to the e
normous sum of $60,412 over and above his sala
ry. He would readio the committee some of the
items to show what the character of these charges
was, which he had derived from official and au

It would "appear from this statement, made from

! that he charged and received pay four times for the

own accounts; and, pay for extra.as above, preparing
an Indian code, etc. ; being upwards of S16 per day
for the tune specified as above. 12.7EJ
Total $96,412
This last charge, with his three salaries, one
fixed at 2,000, and two extra salaries of $1,500
each, would make his pay at this period amount
4to $11,355 per annum inoie than $31 per' day,
.Sundays and all, exclusive of his rations, taken
from the pockets of the tax paying people of the
United States by Gen. Cass, for his services as
Governor and Superintendent of Indian affairs for
the Territory of Michigan, at a fixed salary of
$2,000 per annum. If such were his extras as a
territorial governor, what will they be as Presl
f dent! At the same rate they will amount to up
wards of $60,000 per annum, which he would have
Just as good a right to claim as cx officio comman-
der-in-chief of the army and navy of the United
States. Where is the difference 1 t
,,. In connection with this there was the fact that
some of .these accounts were made out and certi
fied when he was hims'elf Secretary of War; but
not .liking to pass his own accounts, he left them
.lor his successor, with the endorsement that they
were authorized and correct.
And yet Gen. Cass was a great economist!
"He subscribed to the Baltimore maxim, that " the
people's money must be carefully guarded for the
people's benefit." But he (Mr- S.) thought the
General had in this case rather exceeded the
bounds of moderation, whatever the opinions of
-others might be. But this was not all that Gen
Cass had receded. Besides the above, received as
Governor of Michigan, and cx officio Superintend
ed of Indian Affairs, he was about five years
Secretary efWar at $6,000 per annum, being a
diial of S30,000. He was subsequently some six
.; v ears minister to St. Claud, at $9,000 per annum,
being 54.p00, with an outfit of $9,000 and an iufit
k .of 4,500 ; makinga total of some $87,000 The n
. , inount of extra charges during his travels in Eu
v rope and to the Holy Land lie had not yet ascer
. tjiined ; he presumed they were considerable.
; Add to these sums his per diem and mileage ,as
Senator from Michigan, his pay as an officer dur
ing the late war with Great Britain, and it would
, . resent an aggregate of between two and three
-;hundred thousand dollars of the people's money.
, Enough, he thought, to satisfy a reasonable man ;
i, . , but it seems not, he wants one hundred thousand
. - .more. Of the pnvais conduct and character of
.j ,ren...Qass he would say fiothing, but. hie official
ojjidtjctJwas a fajsr.aixl legitimate subject of disj
rAsJoh, and he would not shrink irom the dis-
charge of his duty, he the consequences what the
may:.' It was to the extra charges he Wished to
call the especial atteiitlunj)f his friend's,- and he
would be glad if 'they could furnish some satisfac
tory explanation of these eiirflo'rdinaryNchargesj
which he eared they could not and would not give.
lib hoped the fridnds of Gen. Cass would exam
ine these matters and be able to give someexpla
nation of them. The people' bf this country would
BXfJect it ttf be cleared up 'some how or other,
though he believed it would be found that there
were no vouchers to sustain these extra charges
not the oath of a single witness to establish their
justice, but they were left to depend mainly if not
altogether on the statements made by Gen. Cass
himself, on his own ipse diitt. But his hour was
fast Wasting away and he must hurry on.
THbre was another thing lo which he desired to
refer. If he had the time he would refer to ;the
expenditures during the present war with Mexico.
He, however, had not the time to refer satisfacto
rily to the wasteful expenditure of money. There
had been much of it squandered amongst Presi
dential pattizans and fa' ontes j some rewarded
with high offices, such as Pillow & Co., and oth
ers with fat contracts. They had paid for the
hire of steamboats alone $851,031 a month and
life sum of $115,900 had been paid for old and
worthless vessels. But he had riot time to refer
to these matters in detail, which he had before
him ; he might put them in his speech should he.
ever write it out. But he must hasten to advert
to another thing, which would shdyV how the great
economists of this Administration spent "the' peo
ple's money for the people's benefit. His atten
tion has been called to the fact that this Govern
ment has been expending the people's money for
the benefit of hundreds of their partizans and pets
for actually doing nothing ; and in many of the
custom houses in the country at this time the re
ceipts were wholly inadequate to the payment of
the officers who were quartered on the public.
For instance, there were fifty custom houses, of
which he had made a list, that collected the sum
of $74,425,77 ; to collect which an expense had
incurred of $301,)75,39 over and above the entire
receipts a clear loss to the Treasury of this amount
to support the party ; making, therefore, an ex
penditure of $135,501,16 paid to support custom
houses that paid not one cent into the Treasury.
There were twenty-one custom houses whose ag
gregate receipts were $32,218,391 the whole of
which, together with $270,280,28. was paid to a
set of idle officers ostensibly employed in its col
lection, but actually doing little or nothing; a
gross sum, without any receipts to meet the ex
penditures, of $302,498,67 thrown away on favor
ites ! There were likewise ten custom houses
which collected the sum of $867, 19, which cost
the Government $36,248,32 or $35,381,13 over
and above the whole receipts. And that was using
" the people's money for the people's benefit," ac
cording to the Baltimore resolutions. Oh, say
they, you must take care to spend the people's
money for the people's benefit, and here as an ex
ample, was an expenditure of $36,248,32 to col
lect $867,19 ! If gentlemen had any doubt on
this subject he had before him a transcript from
the official statements, made out by an officer of
this House, he would hand to" the Reporter : he
bad not time now to read it. Here Is a portion

Old Zaclr, he trusted, would soon make this list
of drones and cormorants " small by degrees and
beautifully less ;" for, if there was any one trait in
his character more strongly developed than-any
other, it was his love of economy and his abhor
rence of everything like- extravagance and; waste
ful expenditure, and especially of the public mon
ey. n-matter$ of this kind he understood he was
peculiarly rigid and exact ; and it is now, in these
times of profligacy and wanton waste, that the
country and the tax-paying people want such an
honest and faithful man as Gen. Taylor to muster
and inspect the- crew, dismiss the idle and useless,
put " the ship to rights," get it fairlv before the
wind ; and with a noble crew and well selected'
commanders, our noble ship of State would soon
surmount every obstacle, and be once more safely
moored in the ' haven of peace and prosperity.
The Baltimore Convention speak in their reso
lutions, with great exultation, of the Mexican war
and the Mexican peace. And what have we got
by the one orJby the other ? This war has thrown
this country back full half a century. Look at its
demoralizing effects ; look at what it has cost in
blood and treasure. And, fur all this, what have
we gotl Nothing; I fear worse than nothing.
Sir, the pecuniary cost of this war, and this was
by no means its greatest cost, would not fall short
past, present, and prospective of some three or
four hundred millions of dollars.
Cost already incurred, say $100,000,000

And to this' add the loss of .time andPlabbr to
the country.of fifty thousand volunteerss for two
years, and the loss to families and to the country
of 15 or 20 thousand valuable lives. And, he e--peated,
for all this, what have we gained 1 New
Mexico and California, which will. cost us every
year, to maintain and defend. as much as it is
worth. Arid where is our promised " indemnity
lor the past and security for the future V In
demnity ! We have none, not av cent for all our
.tosses.; but Mexico has received. " indemnity for.
the past" by a release of the five millions of debt
which Mr. Polk made the war to recover,-and fif
teen millions in cash ; and as to " security for the
future,'1 we have none. But what has Mexico ?
She has security for the future. We are bound
to protect her northern frontier against the hostile
and predatory incursions of the Indians of Califor
nia, now ours, heretofore a source of so much an
noyance, expense, and suffering to her people.
From the calamities she is to be hereafter protect
ed, not hy her own, but by American armies ; so
that, in point of fact, Mexico and not Mr. Polk
has got all the " indemnity for the past and secu
rity for the future "
Such aire the benefits of our war and the bless
ings of our peace, of which we hear so much
boasting on the other side of of the House. Sir,
but for the madness and folly of tlijs administra
tion, all we have got could have" been obtained by
wise councils and amicable negotiation, lor some
fifteen or twenty millions. But no 1 nothing but
war and bloodshed would satisfy tfie President
he would "cavil on the ninth part bf a hair; he
would not consent to change the title of our ne
gotiator sent to Mexico, from " minister plenipo
tentiary" " commissioner," which was all that
was required to secure his recognition by Mexico,
and the opening of negatiations for peace.
Rather than comply with this reasonable request,
he instantly, ordered Gen. Taylor tO march to the
Rio Grande, and commencoil the war without con
sulting Congress, then in session ; thus fixing on
Polk and his party the responsibility, the fearful
responsibilily of this war and all its consequences.
But there was another grave objection he had to
the policy of this Administration. Our Govern
ment, as now administered, has in effect become a
foreign Government. We could now do '.every
thing abroad and nothing at home. I he Ameri
can people were taxed for the benefit of foreign
ers. The millions raised to carry on this war had
been expended for the most part in a foreign coun
try. Internal improvements were unconstitutii
al at home, but not abroad ; we could survey
and of course improve the Dead Sea; we could
make roads and canals across the isthmus of Pan
ama and Tehuantepec. Tf We want goods they
must come from abroad. American hats, shoes,
and coats were not good enough for the Adminis
tratian ; they reduced the duties and brought them
from abroad. A proposition was actually made
by his colleague, (Mr. C. J. Ingersoll.) and sus
tained by his party, a few days ago, to take half
the present low duties off the rich man's luxuries,
jewelry, and every thing of the kind, and off" iron,
coal, clothj hats, shoes, and every species of man
ufacture, reducing the revenue one half, express
ly to favor foreigners; who were represented by
his colleague to be in n suffering condition, no
matter about Americans; and then, to make up,
it was proposed to put a duty of twenty-five per
cent, on the poor man's tea and coffee.
Thus, sir, everything done by these " progres
sives'" inures to the benefit of foreigners. Our
money is sent in ship loads abroad ; our improve
ments are foreign; our goods are foreign; our ar
my and our navy are employed abroad. Every
thing is foreign, foreign ; nothing American.
No power to protect or benefit our own people or
improve our own country. The power to contract
debts, to tax and oppress the people, were the on
ly legitimate powers of Government as now ad
ministered. Was this not true to ihe letter?
Would the people longer submit to this state of
things 1 The power and the remedy was in their
own hands, and they Would apply it, by elevating
that honest, true-hearted American, General Tay
lor, to the Presidency, who would soon correct
these foreign and anti-Ameiican tendencies, and
bring the country back to the good old revolution
ary principles and the true American policy of the
earlier and better days of the republic.
The Baltimore platform-had a great many things
in it to which his brief remaining time would not
permit him even to allude. He saw, amongst
other things, they had a resolution in which they
repeated the President's charge that the Whigs
gave '' aid and comfort to the enemy." Now, he
would like to know what sort of " aid and comfort"
old Zack gave to the enemy T Mr, Polk sent San
ta Anna to give them aid and comfort ; while, in
stead of aid, pen Taylor gave them " a little more
grape'and canister. He wished the gentleman op
posite to make the most of that " aid and comfort;"
old Zack had spiked that cannon, or rather had
turned.it upon their own ranks, now flying lffe
Mexicans before him.
In the next place they go in for a sound curren
cy r and yet that party, after the destruction of the
United States Bank, had established six or seven
hundred State Banks. This had been done by
the Democratic Legislatures in Democratic States.
But it was perfectly consistent with all they did.
They make an outcry against Bank paper, and
they fill the country with il'egitimate paper mon
ey, issued in violation of the constitution, which
expressly declared that no State should issue bills
of credit; and of course they could not authorize
others to do what the States themselves were not
authorized to do. This provision, Mr. Madison
says, was inserted for the very purpose of prevent
ing the States frpm issuing or authorizing the is
sue of " paper money." He (Mr. S.) was not a
bank man. He was opposed to a United States
Bank, though he had once voted Jorit under the
unanimous instruction of a Demacratic Pennsyl
vania Legislature, when every member from Penn
sylvania in this House voted for it but one.
Next, the Baltimore platform declares that the
present Administratian had given " a noble im
pulse to free trade," by repealing the taniTof 1842,
and establishing that of 1846. This was an
nounced as the crowning merit and glory of Mr.
Polk's Administratiin. It was too late to enter
upon that subject, for his time was almost expired,
but he would merely observe that their system had
been so successful as to produce a,balance of ppr
haps some forty millions against the country. Spe
cie was in consequence going out of the country at
the rale of three millions a month from the port of
New York alone, and goods were coining in by
millions ; and he would tell them, while their im
ports are vastly increased under the tariffof 1846,
that their exports were greatly falling oft". The
exports of breadstuff's vy.ill not be one-tenth' part of
what they were last year, and judging from what he"
1 saw in the last Union, they would be. mncTi less
than that; The " Union" ol ye9ieroay,siaies; uie
exports to Great Britain of flour last year at 2.269,
114 barrels, this year 159,161 ; wheal last, j ear 2,
157,448 bushels, this year 215,129, and set on ; and.
yet gentlemen talked ofevidence of the north of
their system. Where was it, and what was :? A
crisis is approaching; it will soon be upon us.
The result of such a system would be such a 'cri
sis as they had in 1840, which.will crush.the i banks,
the people, and the country, producing the scenes
and sufferings of 1840, which cannot be forgotten
or averted. The famine and the revolutions in
Europe have postponed this crises; the expenses of
the war, loo, had helped; but it is coming and must
come. While exportsre falling off" fhey boast of
increased imports and increasing? revenue under
low duties thus boasting of that which must bring
inevitable ruin.
The Baltimore Convention next boasted of this
glorious war with Mexico. They were welcome
to all its glories, and all its responsibilities. The
policy of the Whigs vvris peace and not war. The
policy of the Whigs, too, was economy and not'
uytravagance; and if Gen. Taylor, that faithful and
true patriot, should come into power which no
man could doubt if, he repeated, Gen. Taylor
should come into power a man into whoe face,
they were told by Generals Smith and. Twigs, no
man could look and make a dishonorable proposi
tion he would bring back the expenditures to
what they xvere in the early days of the republic,
when Washington, and Madison presided over its
destinies. Taylor this second Washington, would
bring back this Government to the purer princi
ples and better policy of the first. Thank God
that period is approaching ; it is at hand already ;
its approach is heralded by

tem, and strengthens the person, but it. creates new,
pure and rtch blood : a power possessed by no
other medicine. And in this lies the grand se
cret of its wonderful success. It has performed
within the last five years, more than IpO.OOO cures
of severe cases of disease; at least 15,000 were
considered incurable. It has saved the lives of
more than 5,0D0 children during the two past sea
sons ,
10;000 cases of General Debility" and '-want of
Nervous Energy.
Dr Townsend's Sarsaparilla invigorates the
whole system permanently To those who have
lost their muscular energy by the effects of medi
cine or indiscretion committed in youth, or the ex
cessive indulgence of the passions, and brought on
a general physical prostration of the nervous sys
tem, lassitude, want of ambition, fainting sensa
tion, premature decay and decline, hastening to
wards that fatal disease, Consumtion, can be en
tirely restored by this pleasant remedy. This
Sarsaparilla is far superior to any
Invigorating Cordial.
As it renews and invigorates the system, gives
activity to the limbs, and strength to the muscular
system, in a most extraordinary degree.
Consumption Cured
Cleanse and Strengthen. Consumption can be cured. Bron

Spitting Blood.
, New York, April 28, 1847.
Dr Townsend I verily believe that your Sar
saparilla has been the means, through Providence,
of saving my life. I have for several years had a
bad Cough. It became worse and worse. At
last I raised large u uantites of blood, had night
Sweats, and was greatly debiliated and reduced,
and did not expect to live. I have only used your
Sarsaparilla a short time, and there has a wonder
ful change been wrought in me. 1 am now able
to walk all over the city. I raise no blood, and
my cough has left me. You can well imagine
that I am thankful for these results.
Your obedient sevant,
WM RUSSELL, 65 Catherine-st

Dr. Townsend Dear Sir : I have suffered terri
bly for nine years with the Rheumatism; consid

1 had the utmost distressing pains, and my limbs
were terriblv swollen.. I have used four bottles of
your Sarsaparilla, and they have done me more
than one thousand dollars worth of good. I am
so much better indeed, I am entirely relieved.
You are at liberty to use this for the benefit of the
afflicted. Yours resp'y, Jas. Cummings
Fits! Fits! Fits!
Dr. Townsend, not having tested his Sarsapa
rilla in cases of Fits, of course, never recommend
ed it, and was surprised to "receive the following
front- an intelligent and respectable Farmer in
Westchester Countv :
Fordham, August 13, 1847
Dr. Townsend Dear Sir : 1 have a little girl
seven years of age, who has been several years
afflicted with Fits ; we tried almost everything for
her, but without success ; at last, although we
could find no recommendations in our circulars for
cases like hers, we thought, as she was in very
delicate haalth, we would give her some of your
Sarsaparilla, and are very glad we did, for it not
only restored her strength, but she has had no re
turn of the Fits, to our great pleasure and surprise.
She is fast becoming rugged and hearty, for which
we feel grateful.
Yours, respectfully,
JOHN BUTLER Jr.

Thousands of cases where families have been wi
out children, after using a fey battles of this in
