II will be seen that The President refers 10
this statement, not as from the Head Of the
Treasury but as from the Treasury Depart
ment His object Was TO make il appear that
the appropriations were beyond the "availa-
bic means Of the Treasury" and he says:
r,Jfto this calculation be added the amount
! contained IN tie bits letich are pending be
fore The too houses, II may be- safely affirmed
that ten millions Of dollars ,could not make up
the encess ouer The treraurg receipts, unless the
payment Of the national debt be posponed"
To sustain this view Of the pnancial rela
tons Of the country, the statement from The
Treasury gives an estimated deficiency OF Sc
ven hundred and five thousand and eight
(. hundred 'rnd sixty three dollars, and an ad
diticnal estimate of appropriations pending
before Congress, to the amount OF nine mil
lions four h.sldred and seteniy one thousand
tho hundred and eighty focr dollars
To the object of this formidable array Of
MILLIONS was to make an impression up
on the country that, but for General Jack
sons Roman virtues, Congress would have
absorbed the whole amount ofthe public
revenue in westeful schemes Of internal i'm
provements, and thus have defeated the pa
ment of the national debt.
Now, @ho could have believed that when
General Jackson submitted, as part of his
veto message, this estimate from the Urea
sury Department, showing deficiency of
seven hundred and Eve thousand eight hun
dfed and sixty hree dollars he had before
hem report from the head, that Department,
ieaving for further appropriations an estima-
lted balance OF one million six hundred and
seventy two thousand eight hundred and six
teen dollars, over and above IS, 46S, 739, the
! unsatisiled appropriations of former years,
liable to be called for in 1880; and which
from the nature Of the appropriations of that
year, Sonld be met by similar appropriations
pncaed for in that year, aad an excess of
I,647 6s1, on account Of public debt Yet
such is the fact; and, in proof of what we say,
We submit the folio wing copy, which we
have obtained from the files oil the Treasury
Department:
