We understand that the FEDERAL demayogues on the
eastern shore have represented e debt created bv the
late war wh England 10 be three hundred iiIgiIs or
d'd's. They have also stated that the revenue tor
several years will not b. more tlian adequate TO
discourage the interest the debt and tiat the pres

i-inistrttiUn.
We exceedingly regret that the dcprayi;y ofecier,,.

ignJDie means used BY demagocue ,deraIists. thai,
cause aud objects are therefore - -tlw and bad
We speak from official documents when we assert
that the debt created by the late war with England a,
aetusiiyascertained at the treasury, does not amount
~ SeUenty millions Of dollars The interest on this
debt will not amount to fUe millions per annun, The
reveHue from commerce alone, even toe present year.
ON the lowest estimate, will be upwards Of twcnty mil
lions which will more than support the navy army,
civil list and pay the interest the old and new debt
The internal taxes existing, will produce from
TO 20 millions Upon this statement, we hesitate not
to pledge reputation, that the internal taxes will
at te next session oil congress- peace continues be
reduced to mere feather aud that efficient measures
w De adopted TO pay oil the principal N the debt in
few years, should present fourshing pr speritv
LIST So long lrdeed, personal knowledge oti,e views
o. many OF the most PREPAYMENT republicans in Congress
completely satisfies us OF their intention TO reduce the
internal taxes; and we moreover know that this cnn
O. done without the slightest dctrimcnt tn public Gre
dit or the public service The whole of the federal
assertions, upon these points, therefore totally I'M
founded.
But we shall not drop the sub ect here-The repuh-
cans reduced the priaepal ct the old debt from So
millions to SO millions OF dollars besides the interest
ne federal administration had before very conside

1he republicans have also just carried victory and
