In the Aurora of yesterday, Mr. Gallatin states the excess of expenses beyond our income.
Query, whose fault is it? The expenses of the
Western Insurrection are said to exceed 1,200,000
dollars, that sum might have been usefully applied
to the purchase of the public debt. Who is to
blame, those who impose taxes to pay off the public
debt, or those who by their "political ins" promote
an insurrection which cost upwards of a million
those who endeavor to raise revenues adequate to
current expenses, or those who by hunting down the
officers of the revenue, make the revenues
unproductive!
