"This Report, il viii be seen, travels O.
YER the same ground as the Message, cor.
RESPONDENT with almost every statement aud
sentiment OF that Message, and arrives at
The same general conclusions.
"a perusal of this Report has, however
led ms directly TO some conclusions which
ap.ear to have escaped the honorable Sec
reiary. though they lay so directly in bis
way that one would have supposed he could
hardly miss them.
"rhe frs, is founded on the startling
fact, for the first time officially dlclosed to
the People, that with twelve or fifteen mil.
hons of dollars in the Treasury, exclusive
of that which IS deposited with the States,
the Secretary of the Treasury, after hsv.
ing in vain endeavored to obtain supply
of ready money by further sales OF lands, IS
under the necessity OF calling upon Con
gress for some collateral aid, /" ilIl suti.
cheney can be collected TO meet the ordin.
AIRY expenses of the Government From
tins fact, we come al once to the conclu-
sion that the prediction by the Wing
statesmen aud presses Of the consequences
which must inevitably follow from striking
down the admirable sy stem Of admlnlstra-
ton of the finances, under which the conn'
try had ihri,en aud lourished from l79l
to 1910, aud from lsl7 to 1888, are now
realized to their full extent IN regard TO the
finances OF the Government. as they have
long ago realized in regard TO the finances
Of the People. THIS is our fra conclusion.
soar Sceond CONCLUSION IS, that there IL
no way bot one by which those who adj.
minister the Governor, can in any consid.
cradle degree repair the wrong they have
done; and that is by retraciDg their Steps,
and tstng il at once. They have driyen
the car OF State ,nio a morBss, in which, by
every eonvulcive effort 10 drag il GU, they
plunge il deeper. There is neither rosd
nor solid ground in the direction 10 which
hey are pressing on. Before them, and on
al SIDES OF them, Is wilderness Of quick.
sands, vast as the Serboniau bog Of old,
- where armies whole have sunk There
- salely nor any hope for them but IN
refrea only path By which they can
retreat is lhSt BY which they advanced to
where they are, and returning upon that.
they will arrive OF the point from Which
they started, and may set out again IN the
safe road which, ~ tho iutosIcS'ion end
vanity of power, they wlIlully departed
from. THIS is cur sceoHd conclusion.
"The course which we recommend IS 50
obviously the dictate OF common scusc,
that even q dumb beast, placed 10 tie pre-.
dicameni of the ADMINISTRATOR, would,
through the mere force Of instinct, undoubI

This IS our third conclusion. We have
some others, which perhaps ue may haze
