RICHMOND, DECEMBER ~. I8I6.

81 We have been hitherto prevented
from paving our respects TO the Presi-
dents MeSsage-we meant TO have done
so to-day-but the length Of the Treasury
statement (wlose force we do nor wish
10 injure by breaking its unty,) demands
The exclusive use of our columns. This
Document, the last legacy of a great man
TO his Obliged country, presents the most
lnterestingviews ofOur financial concerns
Who Is mol gratiiied to see the prospe-
rous situation OF our Treasury? the am
pie capacities, winch it holds out for the
redemption ofOur public debt. 81 the sun
port of those institutions which are cal
cuiated 10 give strength as well as i'm
provement to our Countrywide sinews of
war and the grace Of peace. The only
part of Mr.. Dallas's Report from which
we are forced 10 dissent, is that which re-
lates TO the facility OF paying the public
dues III specie, on the goth of February
next. On this point we have entertained
but one opinion-NNe took occasion 10
express our objections to the Resolution
before and after ii was adopted last WIN
ter-We then contended that the Banks
could not probably pay specie before fhe
summerof eighteen hundred 81 seventeen
AT the time the Secretary called np-
on the State Banks to pay their small
notes in October, the same objections es-
capped us*-and We again take this on
portunity ofrepeating our belief, tia the
people will not be able to pay their pub
he dues in specie ON the goth of February.
The difficulties which have retarded spe-
cie payments during the present year
have been much diminished, but are not
Yet extinguished; and Congress will owe
II TO the people as well as TO the treasury.
