It has been supposed that ni the enormous annual expenditure* at (V which wo have arrived, would constitute w a cohesive power that would countervail <r the growing sectional and factional ten- * dcncics of the times. But this is not at all certMin. On the contrary, it may be found an element of still greater distrac- _ tion. Tlie expenditure* are now fifty mil- qi lions per annum. On the policy how a- t:i dopted depends therefore the distribution ^ of that sum, not only for the present year J|( but often of an equal amount for four years t( more. The Presidential question involves fti now, therefore, the division of two hundred at and fifty millions. And when was it that j* a sum of such magnitude could ho divided ^ without a quarrel between the distribu- |j tors! Mr. Van Huron's Administration h went down under tin; operation of divi- h; iing thirty-nine millions. Perhaps a careful examination of history will show that nothing is so destructive ^ of party or political harmony, as the pos- tc tension of a large amount of money or ti tpoib. It is certain that the element of Yi ivories is admitted to an extraordinary j71 iharc of power, in a cose where higher j ^ princi|)Jes are required more titan ever. It the number of recipients is isctxoaed, that 01 of expectants is increased still more; ami 1* if many are successful in seciring a share a still greater number of competitors arc disappointed. The system of the late Loais Philippe 01 wasfouadni on a higher expenditure, a ' a: greater centralism, and more internal im- n ptovenients than were ever known in ^ France before.

The ?irit of its former owner still lingered anit tho Bridge, and carried on the war, irough Gen. Jones and Mr. Kennedy, its signets and administrators. These gvnumeti, by permission of the Hamburg ouncil, havo erected a toll gate oir the nrolina side, and now, they who would oss to Augusta must needs pay double >11. Nor only this.
