does not like our" article showing the export-
dilutes of the \Vhig a-I rinistration ['] to be
greater by over 32,000,000 21 year. than the
expenditures during the last year of Mr. Van
Burt-n. The editor of t.itt- Gazette ts not
singular in this respect.-—1faI‘mer.
Don't be-so particular abottt that last year.—
Suppose you go a bit farther. and the compari-
son will be still more striking. If you have
ttot the statistics at hand, we will accommodate
you with the following. "We find them in the
‘Egoorl shape" in which they are proseuted in
the organ ofyour worthy patron, the calantily.
This fact, together with the assurance that they
are drawn front ollicial sources, will undoubt-
c.lly give them a very strong recotnrttettdatirm.
The average expenses, per year, durittg Mr. Van
Buren’s adrttinistration were $28,000,000.
Total expettditnrcs . $112,000,000
The expenses per yeardurtng 'rutsAd-
, -tnittistration, average $24,000,000.

Reduction of expenditures under this
Adtnittistr:ttion,derived frotn autltcn-
tie and ofiicial informatiott.
During Mr. Vatt Bnrcn’.~s Administra-
tiott, tlte average amottnt of revctttte
received per year has been $24,000,-
000.
The total amount for revenue for four
years was
During rttts Adtninistratiott, the aver-
age amount of revetttte received per
year has been $18,000,000.
Total arm. for -1 years computed at
$10,000,000
$84,000,000
72,000,000
$12,070,000
Tints it will be seen that the revenue accruing
under this adtnittistrutiott ltas been twelve lllllll0llS
less than the amount which accrtted under Mr. Van
Burt-.n's Administration.
VVhen Mr. Van Buren came ittto office there was
a balance iii the Treasury at‘ $16,087,278 00
Due to the Governtttent and Treas-
ury notes issued
8,576,697 63
$‘34,6t3r2,068 51
So it appears (from official documonts) tltat
Mr,Van Btllefl had the neat little sum of
$2-5.000.000 as a capit.al or .c.gacy‘t0 commence
hrs adtniuistration with. And yet, with that
sum on hand,and 584000.000 he received
afterwards, he left it deficiency, or debt to be
(lischarged by this Administration of $7,000,-
000!
TRUNK FoU.\'n.—The Potneroy Trunk,
‘about which. so muclt interest has been felt,
"was found at 32 Rivington street, in the city of
‘New York, on Friday evening last. The cir-
cumstances ofthe recovery were these : A ger-
tnan. Lockner by name, who arrived in this
country about six months since, bought goods at
a German House, No. 14 Cedar street, and paid
the bill with}. 5500 note on the Merchant’s
Bank. This note was deposited in the Bank of
New York, and by that institution, sent in ex-
change to the t\lerchan‘r’s Bank, where it was
recognized as one of the lost bills in the trttnk.
Information was immediately given. and officers
put upon scent. Lackner's number was ascer-
. ruined at the German House in Cedar street,
and measures taken to arrest L. and search his
premises. The arrest was made in Cedar st.
land the search resulted in the discovery of the
tlunk, and about 844,000 oftlte money. Lack-
‘ner after an examination before the Mayor, was
fully committed. r_
The ntost singular part ofthe discovery, says
the Journal of Commerce, is, that the above
bill was the only one in the trunk that could
have been identified.
JTRICKERY AND LocorocotsM.—A knock
dpwn argument has of late been going the
rounds ofthe lonco foco journals,und_ copied. we
‘belief/le, in_to the Bridgeport Farmer, against
the present tarifll It is credited, how correctly.
‘we know not. to the Courier (Sr. Enquirer. I,
is a lamentation over the oppressive duty on
sheathing copper, the effect ofwhich, is to drive
bur shipping to England, for the purpose of
coppering—thus depriving our mechanics 0
emplopment, which of right, belongs to them_
_ It is altnost too pretty a story to spoil, but in
looking over the tarifi'act., we aregcompelled to
expose its falsity, and stick it with the thousand
other fabrications which have been put fortlt to
prejudice mechanics against a wholesome law,
mid one upon which their prosperity and com-
fort depend. There is no duty on .shca(Izz°ng
copper !
Says the Richmond Vlhig. all the signs are
bright and brightening. at \Vashington. The
most sagacious men there, give it up that Clay
.\will be the next President. The only doubt is
in respect to the majority. Many calculate
that he will get the vote oftwenty five states-—
ttnless Van is withdrawn, which the “Old
Htinkers" swear. shall never take place. They
intend to run him as long as he livcs—-each de-
feat giving himtnew claims to their support.
Ittntt-zttsrz Toa'rotsr:.—A writer in Silliman’s
‘Jon rnal, saysthat about ten years since, a Tor-
toise was taken in the Sound off New London.
which weighed about 700 pounds. The shell
was nearly fine feet long. There would be
something real in soup made out ofsuclt a barn
door turtle.
Etttctcssots Pll0PELI.l-ills.-—Tl1e Journal of
Commerce thinks vessels with propeller‘ Wlll
drive all the sloops and schouners from the t
Thames and Connecticut rivers another season.
Tltey make their trips quicker, against currents
and are subject to less wltarfage tax, than the
fleets of wind bound craft, Doubtless they will
effect an entire revolution in river navigation
another year.
'Dt-zu-rt or L,tct;tvta:rt.-—Lacknelr who com-
tnitted the robbery of the express trunk, has
brought his‘ career to a sudden terminus. On
Sunday afternoon he was found suspended by
the neck in his cell. No time was lost in cut
ting him down and applying means for tht
restoration of life. but they were ttnavailirtg.

“7 learn from the N. Y. Tribune, that the
surviving relatives of the Hon. Charles Og'e
have instituted a suit for libel against the att-
tltors ofthe lying story that he on his death bed
regretted having written his famous Speech
against tltecorruption and extravagance evinced
in furnishing and taking care ofthe P~’resident’s
House and Grounds under Van Buren. \Ve
hope this suit will be prosecuted tothecomplete
vindication of the dead Patriot from the slanders
of his enemies.
The story recently started about the Rev. E.
K. Avery, is all a hoax. lie is said to be living
quietly at Richmond, Berkshire co. Mass.
The Cut Dircct.—-We like rt good thing.
although our ‘withers may not go nnwrung’
and we therefore give place to the following
front our brother of the ‘East Alabamiatn,’
who is very extensively and favorably known
as the ‘Chicken Man.‘——-At1.gu.sta. Cit-ronicle.
Party Emblems ——Some Democratic pa
per, discoursiug lately about party ettzblems
gives to the Whigs the ’cooN. and takes for
the Locofoco party in general, the COCK.—
This is not altogetlter right: and as we are
in favor of ' air play.’ we insist on an equit-
able division of the ernblems. The 'Coon is
most unquestionably IV/rig property and
though he does stroll o'nights, occasionally
what ofthat? he loves the/'.~‘Iars,’ and eflects
the ‘stripes’ upon his fail. A" true republi-
can, he is found we believe, only on the
North American Continent. He is a
gallant fellow into the bargain, and whips a
puppy at each pazv. easily’! And homely
though his coat be, ’tis worth money in tho
market. Give us the ’Coon by all means!
Bttt the Liudenwold folks must let go the
Cock-—hc’s none of theirs——he’s the exclu-
sive property of their State Rights allie5.—
The Cock is vain of‘his military clothes,
flaps his wings like a gnsconadingbraggart,
crows defiance to the world; and often runs
at Me pine/t ! \Vho shall say then that the
Nullifying Branch are not entitled to quar-
ter him upon their coat? As for the Van
Burettites they must contenttltctnselvcs with
the VVeasel long ago prrsented to them, by
Mr. Calhoun. Let them taitethe W’eascl—-
ht-’s a stinking lit:le fellow, fond of creeping
through cracks, and none, therefore may dis-
pute theirtitle to him. He’s the very animal
too that they want at this particular juncture
he's so good at" tlrrort tlittg Coc/rs, that -\\'c
are certain they'll find hitn useful.
When Mr. Van Bnren came into power,
he found a surplus of six millions in the
Treasury. and to this was added eight mill-
ions of U. S. Bank Stock and nine tnillions
of instalments due the States-—in all, about
tu‘cnl_r/ four million; over and above the rev-
enue l—1nd yet he went out of office leav-
ing the Treasury in debt six million and a
half in the form of Treasury notes. together
with other ll:tl1lllllt‘S in the forth of outstand-
ing appropriations. amounting in all to near-
ly t/rirfg/five millions !—-N. H. Palladium.
A lVise Fool.—A bnffoon having offend-
ed his sovereign the monarch scntenced hitn
to (ledlh. The. culprit, in great terror, fell
upon his knees and cried for mercy.
‘I will extend to you no other mercy,’
said the monarch, than permitting you to
choose what death you will die. Decide
immediately for I will be obeyed.‘
‘I adore your clemency.’ said the crafty
jester ‘I choose to die of old age.’
Election in Zllassac/m.sclts.—The Logis-
lature have elected Geo. N. Briggs, Govern-
or: John Rt'€d, Lt. Governor: John G.
