The appropriations made by the late Congress are large. I voted against the majority of them ; and yet, take up the list, and it is difficult to say which could be struck off with advantage to the ])ublic interest. The ten millions to Mexico, securing us additional territory, the railroad route to the Pacific, and relief from the onerous obligations of the former treaty, no one here will object to. Mr. Fillmore offered the same amount, simply to be relieved of our obligations under the former t...reaty. The seven millions to Texas creditors was a sacred obligation not to be avoided. The appropriation in settlement of private claims of long standing against the government will not be questioned. The five millions for the increase of the navy has been approved by the whole country. It must be remembered, too, that the expenses of the government have necessarily increased with its growth. The extension of our land, and postal, and judiciary, and military, and revenue systems over our Pacific possessions ; the necessary increase of our army and navy ; the collection of customs along the shores of two oceans ; the salaries of additional officers under government, and the support of scA^en instead of two territorial govern- ments, have all involved additional expenditure, and tended greatly to increase their aggregate amount.
