prediction, they will come out the open advocates

We also said that the Whig party had promis-
co economy in the administration of the Govern
ment, and had given US extravaganza. You have
often heard it proclaimed through the country,
from Henry Clay in the Senate Chamber, down
to the least member of the Wing party, that the
acreage expenditures of the last administration
were yearly 35 million of dollars. A charge like
this, made in the Senate chamber of the United
States, by Mr. Clay himself was we'll calculated
to deceive his political friends throughout the
country, and for a time they, in honest sincerity
may have believed it, and through their orators
and presses widely circulatedit. Their criminal.
ty consists in being wanting in magnanimity, and
not seizng upon the first opportunity in disabusing
the public mind from the erroneous impressions
which they created his in uttering charge so
unfounded. Now, has Mr. Clay been sustained
by the facts. We say most positively that he has
not, and refer you to the report of Mr. Ewing,
Whg Secretary of the Treasury ian authority
which cannot be questioned,) made in obedience to
call made by Whig Congress, and which was
laid before them, by the Chairman of the Com
mittee of ways and means, no longer than July
1841. In this document, Mr. Ewing expressly
contradicts Mr.. Clay. He gives you the expen-
ditures of the four years of Mr.. Van Buren's ad-
mnstration, say for ST. 's8, 80, 40, and it plainly
establishes the undenied and undcniable fact, that
the acreage was something like eight millions OF
dollars less than what the country at one time was
made to believe


A WESTERN FARMER.
