terest as above S7l3S20, constituting the
demand of 81 l,0iS,331. The original debt
has existed during long period. in which
the State has patiently waited for IT'S final
adjustment and atisfaction.-This debt
having been constitutionaly ratified by
Congress, and the amount thereof asccr.
tanned, 1t remains with them, therefore, to
create stock to this amount for the above
purpose, and If so requested there seems
no reasonable ground to doubt Of its sue
cessful issue. Justice, morality and intel
Iigence are its advocates. Indeed the
faith Of the General Government has been
repeatedly pledged for it, and with solcm-
mites which give peculiar force 10 the OBJ
legation.
