How sweet to tho taste is the Irith potato, As memory awak.ns a thought of tho plrnt j Its dark verdaut vine-top and beautiful blnnsoins, In pleasing transition my memory haunt. Aye I thought of the root in profusion onoe grow, lug, On the broad sunny bill-slope adjoining the mill, At the homestead, how many we raised there's no knowing, For some were but small ones, and few in the bill. The mealy potato, the Irish potato, The thin-skinned potato that grew on the hill. That delectable plant I would praise while I'm ah le, Fr often at noon, when returned from the fivld, I found it superior tu all on the table. The best flavored edible nature could yield. With what eager appetite, sharpened by labor. I plied knife and fork with hearty good wilt ; Alas ! there are none of the oll-fhioned flavoi, None like the "rval Simons" that grew en the bill.

As poised on my f..rk it ancmd to my tnuth; No appeal to the palate could tempt me to leave it. Though affect d by "rot" or a bng summer's druiith. And now, far retaored frm that loved situation, Where I used to partake of the root to my fill. Fancy fain would revert to my father's plantation, And sigh for the kidnt-y, that grew on the bill.

Marshall, of I II., in the houso of representatives, od the 9th of Juuuary last. This thing of stealing, sir. has bceomo a wholcsalo business,' and has grown to most appalling proportions incc tho ud vent of tho rcpublicuti party to puwer, and it will cento, in my judgment, the very day it goes out of power, and tint one tuouicnt Ms.ncr. The present condi tion of the euuutry, sir, ought not to be considered cnus for surprise or wonder to any oue who has bruins enough to comprehend the uaturul and inevitable connection and Kqucne between the eauo and effect. .Similar cuues would; produce siniiliir results in any age or in any country. The abolition, now called! tho radical or republican pari, was founded on the maxim, which they fprcad out on their banners ami boldly pro claimed to the world, that "The United .State constitution is a covenant with death and an ngrettment with hell," and thht there was a higher law than flu; constitution, and no man was bound by its provision or obligations. And this party, cilice it came into power, lus been true to this theory upon which it was founded. Every feature and every prin ciple of that sacred instrument, and eve ry safeguard put there for the pr lection of the rights uud liberties of the citizen, have been openly and defiantly trampled under fo.it by this party. And now it great leader and representatives u,n thi fl r openly prochitii that they are administering the government outide of" and in or'ti dehV cc ot the constitu tion. No wonder,' Mr. Speaker, that all scue of moral obligation has been des troyed among their followers. No won der that the flodgstes have been br.ken down and a deluge of crime, debauchery and prostitution, political, moral aud so cial, has swept over the land. When thu chosen and select prophet of the cct openly and defiantly disregard the sanc tion and guarantees of that great char ter which they have jua sworn to up port, why fehould we wonder that the less er lights and diciple should feel resting lightly upon them the obligation of the commandment which says, "Thou shah not steal." or be surprised when wo see them engaged in wholesale pluudcr and debauchery ? it was inc most natural thing in the world, that, whou the leaders n-cre en gaged in violating their duties to the country and its constitution, the lesser lights should practice upon the rules of venality which bad been laid down for them, and go to filling their pockets. Aud they have done it with a ven- geancc- Thce robbers aro now rioting in lux ury all over tho land, while the honest, industrious laboriug people are borne down with poverty and taxation. The very bread which they make by the sweat of their brow is wrested from them before it reaches the mouths of their children, and ono half of the revenue wrung from them U taken to feed and clothe lazy, vagabond negroes, or put into the hands and pockets of theso plunder crs. This system must cease, and there is a remedy for it ; and tho only remedy is to go back to tho original principles of the government; to reinstate that party in power which for CO years safely and economically carried on tho government and successfully prosecuted two great fur eign wars without any oppression of the citizen, any violation of the safeguards of the constitution, and without feuding one federal tax gatherer among the people to t at out their substance. And how dare my colleague, or any gentleman in the presence ot public and well known facts, charge any of theso I muds upon the president or upon any one outside of the party dow in power? By au act of congress tho pre-ident is stripped of his rightful power for tho correo'ion of these evils. He cannot re move h single man from office, not oven oue of his own cabinet ministers, or ap point a singlo man to office without the consent of your radical senate. The consequence is that, while tho offices are now filled by radicals, all new appoint menbs must be made from that party. It is sufficient for the Senate to know that a man is a friend of the president or an opposer of the radical measures ot con gress to secure his rejeotion : and, thcro fore, rather than have these offices va cant that aro necessary to bo filled for the public service, he time and again sends in men of the radical party, and they are the only ones who can bo con firmed for positions of any importance. He has not tho power to select men of his own choice. Why, even for the very highest offices in tho land, although opposing congress in its miscalled "reconstruction" policy, the president takes the elect of the radical party Look at our foroign missions, where the vacancies have occurred. Mr. Bancroft was appointed to one, and Mr. Raymond to another. Then Mr. Greoloy, tho very head and front ot the party, was nomi nated for one of tho first positions under the government. It is not true that the president, oven where he has had the power of appointment, has confined him self to his own friends in making the se lection. ; He has been compelled, in all these revenue cases; so far as my knowl edge extends either to take men pt the dominant party, or those with whom they were satisfied, or leavo the offices unfilled. And if, in selecting among them, he finds one thief out of a dozen, 1 do not think it is at all remarkable, and I am only sur prised that he has not been more unlucky than he has in this particular. , We have bad profound peace, Mr. Speuker, for nearly three years. Fiom the surrender of iheTcotifederaio armies in April, 18G2. to tho present time, there has not been on arm raised any. where against tho power of ta federal government. Why, then, these enor mous expenditures, that arc crushing tho very life out of the peoplo ? Why should the ordinary oxpenscs of the government now greatly exceed those of the years immediately preceding tho war? Mr. HuchananV administration has always been characterized by tho party now in power most reckless and extravagunt. I am not hero now for tho purpose of de fending it. But let us compare for a mo ment the last and most extravagan year of Buchanan's administration with the expenditures now inaugurated under rad ical rule. Men may mislead the igno rant by frothy declamation, but figures are stubborn things, and when ucd fair ly, never mislead. In tho figures I now give I do not include the public debt or the interest thereon, nor the pensions and bounties to soldiers and their families, all of which tho people will cheerfully pay. The Secretary of the Treasury asks for appropriations for this year as follows: For the war department, exclusive of bounties and peniuu $ ((6,000,000 For ihe nav depurtuteut 3S.000.000 Fur civil service 51,000,000 Total 8I2.000,000 There can be no doubt that I lie actual demands and expenditures of tho gov ernment under existing legislation will greatly exceed even this enormous sum. For who ever heard of a congress in these days without a series of defieieney bills? Tho expenditures invariably ex ceed greatly tho estimates. The whole expenditures of the govern ment for the -auiu service in 1800 (the lut year of Mr. Huchauan's admiruMra t ion ) wcro : Fr rlvillikt ., $,.0?7.'0 Fr the wr drparttucra... l,i5'J.0i.rt For the navy dtj.nrtim .t II .ill, 000 Total $34.IH,000 lilTrrro-j between the estimklts for lfis nod ctul expenditures fur the uie hews in 160 $U7,SI7,006 Thus it is demonstrated that the ordi nary expenditures of the government un dcr radical rule is more than five times as great as it was under the much abused administration of Buchanan. We have been accustomed to call ours a free, and happy, and prosperous people. But, sir, no people cat bo properly called free or prosperous, whatcer may bo the form ot government whose daily earnings are wrung from them by the tax gatherer to feed a horde of hungry vultures who are preying upon them. We now pay in taxes nearly twice as much capita as as any other people hi the world. And it will be feceu from the foregoing figures that, even, if our national debt were wip ed out as with a sponge, we would Mill, under our present rulers, be tho wort taxed and .worst governed people on earth. The jcop'.e should in thunder tones demand of this congress -Why doc this country, iu time of peace, wiiu no prospect of war, require five times more expenditures, in proportiou to its population, for the army, or the navy, or the civil list, than it ever required at any time before the republican party came in to power?" Your wretched, unconstitu tional, aud most wicked policy, your ne gro bureaus, your large standing army, your military despotism, your hordes of hungry vultures, sent all over the land to devour the substance of the people, fur nish the answer. Sir, the republican party has been trusted by the peoplo as no party Vas ever trusted before, and their generous confidence has in every re spect been most shamefully abused. I know it is easy to indulge iu loose and idle declamation and censure ; and lest I might be accused of sinning in this di rection I will furnish here for the consid eration of tho House and ot the country some tables compiled from the archives of our government, upon which I wish to base a tew additional remarks, and which will demonstrate beyond all possibility of contradiction the folly, recklessness, and extravagance of the party that now most unfortunately controls the expenditures of our government : Tablo giving tho entire expenditures of the federal government, exclusive of tho public debt, from the foundation of the government to the close of the last British war : From .Mar. 4, 9, to Doo, 31, 91..$ 17J2 1,910,509 52 1,877,903 68 1710.070 28 3,500,546 65 4,350,658 04 2,531,9.10 40 2,833,590 96 4,623,223 54 17U3 1794 1795 179S 1797.. 1798 1799 - :., 6,480,166 72 1800... 7.411,369 97 1801. 1802 4,981,669 90 3,737,079 91 4,002.824 24 1803 1804 4,452,858 91 1805.. 1806.. 6,357.234 62 6.080,209 36 4.984,572 89 6,504,338 85 7,414.672 14 5..11 1.082 28 5,592.604 86 1807 1808. 1809. 1810 1811, 1812 17,820'498 70 28,082.396 92 1813 .., 1814. 30,127,606 38 Total...... $172,697,779 00 Thus it is seen that the entire expend iturcs of our government from the fouu dation thereof to the 1st day of January, 1815, including the expenses of the last British war, does not equal by over $11, 000,000 what is now required for the mere ordinary expousus of the govern ment for tho present year under Radical rulo. I say ordinary, as I do not in the estimate given include the amount requir ed tor bounties, pensions and interest on the public debt. But those expenditures which I have given are, in fact most ex traordinary, and enbuh to cause the very clods of our mother earth to rise in, muti ny against the further rule of such.apar- it will be, seen by looking at the tore- going table that the whole aggregate ex penditures or the government during the three years (1812, 1813, and 1814) of our last great struggle with Great Brit ain, in which we met and grappled , in the death struggle on land and sea with tho greatest power on eartb, amounted only NO. 84 f S7,0.5o2, '"which is $1 05,900,4 ; less; than it now costs to run tho 'govern ment in a time of profound peace for om year under Hadieal rule; and that tn , without counting the frauds and robber ies perpetrated under our revenue system, and which may bo estimated at least $50. 000,000 more, that never reaches the treasury, but every dollar of which is wrung from the, pocket of the toiling mil lions.' But it may be urged that theso com pnrisans arc not fair, and are calculated to mislead, as the population was much less in early days of the republic than now. and the expenditures necessarily less than now.. Admit all that can be fairly clainjed from this fact, and yet it docs not weaken the startling character of the facts I have given. Surely no one will contend that it ought to cost more, or at least much more, jper capita to adminis ter our government as we increase in population than it did during the early and struggling days of the republic. If it does necessarily have this result, we should in self-defence immediately put a stop to immigration, and go back as speed ily as possible to our original boundaries. But it cannot possibly produce this result if tho government were now administered on the principle on which it was found ed. Taking thi as indisputable, I will now furnish another table that will place in a still stronger light the enormities of our present system : A table showing the expense f tb general gov ernment, exclusive of public debt, and the pop. ulation shown bj the census during each decen nial year, frero the foundation of the govern taeut to tho year 1W: Rale per Ytr.

They now iu a lirue of profound peace, under radical rule, estimating our population a uO.000,000, amount to I G per capita, or about $40 annually for each head of a family, for what arc called the ordinary expenditures of the government. Sir, these facts arc in themselves sufficiently alarming, and I do not see that 1 can now add to their force by dwelling fur tlur thereon. If they do not arouse- the people from .Maine to California to de mand au immcd ate change in our rulers anil in our administration, then, indeed, may we say, with sad heart, farewell to all hope of. our poor, bleeding country to properity and happiness. Mr. speaker, in these remark I do not intend to misrepresent, or, it I can avoid it. to be misrepresented; anl therefore I timt repeat that in this indictment against the radu-a.1 party I have no: in eluded thoxo expefttte and exper dif nrt" which are the necessary result of the war through which we have just passed. I have not included the estimates for pay ing bounties and pensions, the suuh nec essary to pay the interest on our public debt. I have left these out that the peo ple might see whihter we are tending un der the radical rule, even if these sacred but most burdensome debts were canceled forever. Now, Mr. Speaker, I should not have made remarks of this character, especially at this time, if it had not been for the extraordinary course which my colleague Mr. Logan took in addressing the hou.e upon this question, which ought to be considered as a mere matter of busi ness. I am aware that unusual latitude has been given in the debate. Whether it is in the power of congress, the presi dent, and tho secretary of the treasury combined to inaugurate a system by which this whiskey tax can be collected or not, it is impossible tor me to say. My im pression is, that, while the tax of $2 per gallon is retained, the revenue will never be fully, collected. The temptations to fraud and bribery are too numerous in this profligate ago. I care not how vigi lant the head of the department may be. there will necessarily be a great deal of thievery and fraud. My impression is, that the only remedy is to reduce the tax to one-quarter what it is now and inaugu rate a better system of collection, and the amount of your revenue received would probably be as great as it is at this time. I do not believe that it is in the power of mortal man to inaugurate a system by which the entire revenue can be collected while the tax is retained at the nresent rate. In the remarks which I have made, as a matter of course and I presume it was so with my colleague it was not intend ed to insinuate that all the officers con nected with the revenue service are en gaged in peculation and fraud. I do not believe anything of the kind. I do not understand my colleague to charge any thing of tho kind, , although his charges have been very broad. But with the temptations that are held out some fraud is inevitable. It is impossible for tho president, or the secretary of the treasu ry, or the commissioner of internal reve nue to know one man in a thousand of their appointees. How are they to avoid when they must take the men recom mended to them, getting men often who are at best weak and will yield to the temptations which are held but so boun teously around them ? ; I do not believe that it is possible to inaugurate a sys tem under our laws as, they are now; and with the taxation, asjt is now,; that will result in an honest collection of th rev enue that ought to ho received, from. this. whiskey tax. ; : V , A few words more, Mr.. Speaker, and I have done. Our whole revenue system, seems to ' bo dovised for the purpose' of holding out temptations ot fraud and per-. ' m jury, inere is out ono nope ana one remedy. .

Your army must be reduced ; your freed men's bureau abolished; your military despotism uprooted ; the expenditures of the government reduced one half, the taxes reduced in the same proportion: the horde of tax-gatherers must be called, in whenever they can possibly bo dhv. pensed with; the most rigid economy must be introduced into every branch of the government: and our outstanding bonds, as speedily as possible without in jury to the country, be paid off in pre-, ctso conformity with the contract upon which they were issued.

HOW STAXD THE PEOPLE. The Radicals have been in the hab it of claiming that they were "carry ing out the will of the people," and that tho revolutionary acts of the pres ent Kmnp Congress is approved by them. That this is not &o, wis shown, by the general and local elections that took place last year. General elec tions were held in seventeen States,, and the following is the total of the popular votes in those States, as given by the Tribune almanac: SlateM. Vtmorrati'!. Radical. California 39,905 42,477 Connecticut 47.535 46.57S I..wa - 58,543 90,473 Kentucky 90,245 47,105.

Local elections were also held in In diana, Illinois, Deleware, Misssouri Nevada, Kansas and Oregon. There U no full return from any of these States, but the total Democratic ma jority which they gave is immense, and foretokens the result they will render the present year. It is, therefore, a settled fact that a large majority of the people of the North, for whom the Radical Con gress claims to be speaking, is unqual ifiedly opposed to their revolutionary measures. ' NEGRO SUFFRAGE. Senator FreUnghuysen, a leading radical United States Senator, recent ly announced himself unequivocally in favor of negro supremacy- in fa- -., nf 1rnvi n rr in Tvbito mpn ritrbtR ,v- --o and privileges that he would confer upon the negro. Among other things, in a speech in reply to Senator Doo little, Frelinghuysen said: - 'The Senator from Wisconsin predicted a war of races at the South, and that the whites would crush their black antagonists in the struggle ; but he wi&hed to inform him that when the struggle came, which h hoped in God never would come,, an army at the north would arise and assert the supremacy ot tne negro race.
