THE PUBLIC MONEY,

The following timely and Just remarks.
nre worthy of all serious consideration, not
only by he inhabitants of this town, but
every town in the State. They ought
well 20 ponder this subject. md be fully
assured Of some great paramount benefit,
before they consent to involve themselves
for the next hoif century in contentious
and i'lgotion-whlch must be the incviia-
bic result of receiving the money under The
present very defective and pague law. 1t
does seem to us that common prudence die.
iaieS that we .ct the money remain in the
hands Of the STATE .Jor The present, in as
much Us we shall thereby secure all the
advantages without my OF the liabilities Of
the other course. We should like to hear
rbe opinions of others on the subject.
Mr.. STAcY-I understand the Select
men Of this town have warned n meeting
Of the Freemen for The purpose of deciding
upon the acceptance of our share Of the
surplus revenue. According to The best Of
my information, the opinion is almost uni
vcrsal that the mode of distribution point
cd out by the late statute Of this state, i,
very lnjudcions and improvdent one
But however this may be, no action by the
town can inter its provisions. aud all thai
c cun DO is To take the best method OF
availing ourselves of them.
The law rrescribes iwo modes, by either
of which, The towns may receive The annua
income Of their portion of The money.
The first is by accepting their rateablp
share of the principal, and appointing
Trustees to loan it, for The benefit Of tn,
town, upon annual interest. The second
by suffering The money TO remain IN the
hands Of the State Treasurer, who is direct
cd TO invest il in The best manner, and pay
the towns the interest.
The latter course will undoubtedly be
very generally pursued, # we can trust t.
The opinions expressed by judlcious and in.
tclligent men 10 almost every part Of the
state.

spirit Of resistance marked his infant body

the lest message of suc, president to such a
