MO ND AY, May 15, 1786.
Votes and proceedings of the tenth general
assembly of the Jtate of New-Jersey.
Being the second sitting.
{ Continued from our taji.)
THE house resumed the coniideration of the
communications made by the honourable
the committee of Congress yesterday;
whereupon,
A motion was made by mr. A. Clark,
seconded by mr. Schenck, that the house
agree to the following order:
That the honourable committee of Congress be
informed that this house, anxioufiy desirous of pro
moting among all the Rates a lading union established
upon principles of justice and equality, are ready to
accede to any measures founded on such a basis.
That the present confederation, in whatever light
the fame may be considered with regard to equality,
hath not been ftri^ly adhered to in the requisition of
September last.
The valuation of the land and buildings have not
been taken by any Rate, nor the mode recommended
by Congress for fettling the quotas by the number of
inhabitants, which fuperceded the requisition for such
a valuation, been agreed to by all the Rates id far as
to become a federal rule, on which account the re
quisition of September last can be considered only as
recommendatory, and therefore, for the reasons con
tained in the resolution of this house of the 20th of
February last, cannot be complied with further than
by providing for the annual payment of interest due
to our citizens, which it is supposed will nearly amount
to the whole quota of this Rate on the national debt.
This house entertains the mos tgrateful sense of the
liberal assistance afforded by the friendly powers in Eu
rope, by loaning money to the United States; and
sincerely regret the want of proper funds to difeharge
the interest. Tins, it mud be acknowledged, is not
owing to any neglect of Congress ; they have done all
in their power to raise the sums necessary for that pur
pose, and their present inability to make prompt pay
ment must be charged only to those Rates which have
refufed to grant the United States the duties and im
posts which they now coll ft, as well from Rates desti
tute of any foreign commerce, as from their own citizens,
and which, if paid into the common treasury at the
disposal of Congress, will probably be more than fuffi
cient to raise the specie required.
The above motion was read, and the consideration
thereof postponed.
Mr. Sinnickfon, from the committee to whom was
referred the bill, intitled, ' a supplement to an aft,
intitled, an aft for regulating the election of members
