Sir. the bill does not call upon the people OF this
State tor solitary cent but proposes loan of mo-
ney, not to be redeemed for twenty yeas. Is there
any fear, that the revenue this Improvement would
not pay the interest on the sum necessary to COM
plete it, aud finally redeem the principal, without
the necessity OF taxation at ali? The best means of
ascertaning the justice of such apprehensons is by
resortng to the test of experience. What is the

lation to revenue derived from thems

punishment of the principal. This may be in part
accounted for, by the very heavy charges annually
arising upon tho work, to the payment OF which,
and the interest on the original cost the revenue
