Excerpted Whig Critique on Van Buren Era Expenditures
A dense 1840s speech criticizes the Van Buren administration for excessive ordinary and extraordinary spending. It contrasts with the Whig reform stance, alleging inflated costs from Florida and Creek wars, border disputes, public buildings, and Indian removals. It denounces alleged proscriptions, corruption, and political influence over offices and finances while defending Jacksonian fiscal themes.
