Take the case, sir. as between two ind.
viduals in private fe:-A says to YOU

powers were shown to Won. and with :. com

war-Pubiic Credits the fund on which all
free countries must draw; our credit as a
nation stands high; an honest compliance
with our engagements ensures TO us the
floating capital of our own country which is
ample; it is as easy for the government of
the Y. States to command forty millions Of
dollars AS five. But says the gentleman it is
