erable sum of money. _
David Clarkson, President of the Brook-
lyn, (late deposite) Bank. Since I have
known Mr. Price I have been, rnyselli Unfil-
vorably impressed as.to his staiirling; and his
pecuniary responsibility ivas such . that I,
should have considered my property msecare
in his hands. . '
On this testimony the Committee remark
as follows. While it is not deemed by the
committee within the scope of its legitimate
province to investigate the causes “ which
have disturbed the rightful course of appoint-
ment, and have placed or continued power in
unfaithful or incompetent hands,” the con-
viction is irresistible, that, in the case of Mr.
Price, as well as in that of Mr. Sivartivout,
they have resulted in immense losses of the
public money, alike disreputable to the Gov-
ernment and demoralizing to the country.
And, from the testimony in the case, the com-
mittee find the following facts established:
lst. That William M. Price, as District
Attorney, is a dcfaultcr to the Government
in a‘ large amount.
2d. That his defalcations are attribii-
table to the notorious irresponsibility and
want of character of said Price, atthe periods
, ofhis appointment and reappointment, and
during his entire terms of oflice; and to the
continued neglect of the proper and eflicient
discharge ofduties at the office of the Solici-
e Treasury. by the late and present
incu nts of that ofiice.

ipainshoi your pletlgetl faith, broken and worth-

ters stand, and for what wc as a party are an-
swat-able.
Has not the administration party on over-

gpcaemre do they fail to carry‘! Is it not an atl-
uni-tt.e.d.l3z1ct that they claim tivo-thirds of the-.

an the gentienian and his friends around him

-rises in his place and reads us a lomily on

This is an extraordinary position for a feeble
, ,'t.n_itiorit_\'. and one equally extraordinary for a
'pQW¢‘ffUl maj-'»rity-

Could we prevent your seizing the public

vour snatching it away by v_iol_e_nce. (rid placing
it in thevcustody ofktiavee ._wlio hav_enbs,conded'.’
Have we not. on many occasions, put forth all
our ‘power to arrest your extravagance? And
when have we been ciiccessful? Sir. it has
been our incessant labor to place the ptihlic
- money in the cu_stod._y of law, and to apply it to
the use _of the public, and not of individuals.-—
But the majority will. despite ofall our efforts,
keepit _in the hands ofthe Executive and his sub-
giglterns ; and yet. when the Customs are in your
possession, the Senate turns round upon some six-
fteeu orseventeen meinbers,and holdsihem upto
the country as responsible fvr the wastefulncss of
this administration. The burden of proof is on
him. and the public will demand conclusive
pvidence of such an assertion before it c,a,n re-
,ceive credence. ;
We do not deny that extravagance and waste-
fulness exist. No, sir, far from it; far from it,
We join in the accusation. but we do not look to
(minority for the priniinality. We know that
the public expenditures transcend all former ex-
atnple. and we are not surprised that gentlemen
find the proof so overwhelming as. in their
judgement. to call for explanation. It is a heavy
‘responsibility. and well may those who feel its
weight pressing them down make an effort to
