PAYING OFF THE PUBLIC DEBT.
From The National HtelHgencer.

IF it be true ofall nations heretofore, that nation
has paid off public debt. the possibility of it
will be demonstrated, if the wise policy Of the pre-
sent Administration be initiated by its successors.
The fact that four millions of dollars more is to be
paid off the first ofJanuary. making nine millions
paid Oft cithn one gear, is a decisive testimony IN
of the prudence the economy, the sagacity Of
those now at the helm OF affairs, under the direc-
ton of whom the finances have so improved, that
not y the whole Of the ten millions Of the sinking
fund annually appropriated has been applied TO the
payment of Public Debt, but also the arrears OF that
fund have been paid, its deficiencies made good-
an objec the Importance If which will be duly es-
tmaled by all those who have ever been in public
life, or who have the least possible knowledge of
fiscal operations We nave great pleasure in sub
hitting to readers the following statement. com
piled from official sources, showing the effect of the
measures of this Administration on the finances, Of
the country:

average majority in the district


Next to Baltimore county, this is the district most
likely to be for the General. We should concede |
the district, if we were not fully persuaded, not
withsandng the majority given for the jackson can
tdates, that Hartford county is decidedly for the
Administration and will prove to be so next month.
Hartford county has had series of political dis
fractions. not unlike those of Annapolis. The in
veteracy of the dispute between the Federal and
Republican parties, for years after it had sub
sided considerably elsewhere, continued in Har
ford by the expedient adopted by the Federalists,
IN conjunction with some aspiring and disappointed
members from the Republican ranks who seeded
under the name of .aati-Cdatcus, and attempted by
the aid OF former opponents to gain what their own
party thought them not deserving of. The contest
thus renewed under thenew appelation OF CuuCus
and Anti Caucus, still continues with great warmth
in Hartford, and, had influence in the late
election than the presidential question itself We
have heard of several very influential Ajmlnstra-
ton men who eXered every nerve for the success
of the Jackson ticket, because it SO happened that
the Jackson ticket was composed of AntCaucus
men, and the Administration Ticket uf Cauuuc
Colonel Sewe himself of the state senate, with his
extensive influence in their ranks. We
authorised by a knowledge of those facts to calcu-
late upon very material difference in the result of
the election in this county in November.
We have heretofore claimed majority of 200
in Hartford, and we are strengthened in that opinion
by the result of the past election.
Cecil county, associated with Hartford gave on
Monday an average Jackson majority of 80 votes.
Last year the Jackson ticket elected in that
county by majority of 500 votes.--'rhis rate OF
change continued to November, nsures us major
ity 10 that county. We also confidently calculate
upon gaining this district.
