| have omitted any notice of the charges upon
the Treasury for the public debt and military pen
sions, because the payments to these objects. can
not, by any dlalectc ingenuity, be made the theme
OF eulogy to any administration. The extInguish
ing action OF the sinking fund upon the pubc
debt, cannot be set down to the credit of the Ey
ecutive; it results from pre-existinr law. The
excess OF accumulation in the surplus fund, by on
Grafton of the same law, disgprges itself into the
sinking fund, and becomes in like manner sacred
to the public engagement. The appropriations
tor military pensions, have also excluded because
this is disbursement likewise resting upon def.
nate and uncomfortable causes, and IS in no in.
stance to be affected by administrative prolgality
or economy. This channel Of expenditure has
been gradually contracting, by the nleyibe oper
alton OF the great law OF nature, upon the aged
