Government Expenditures Debate Concludes in House
Mr Stanly of North Carolina closes a long speech alleging deliberate deception by the Van Buren administration in 1839 and 1840. He cites Navy and public building plans, postponed appropriations, and inflated estimates to argue Whigs faced charges of extravagance for 1841 while pre-cutting deficits and mismanagement by prior regimes.
