The New York Spectator remarks-"The
Encouragement of the financial department
Of the government has been such, that albeit
there is an apparent surplus in the treasury,
Of some forty or fifty millions Of dollars, the
money is not available. The oppressive
course Of the Executive has crushed the mer-
chants 10 New York and elsewhere, by huns
dreds, even while they were ahundantly SOL
vent in means. And even handed Justice has
commended the poisoned chalice TO his own
lips. The government has forty millions Of
surplus revenue, and, like the merchants.
has, even before the Secretary's MISSY
reached its place Of destination, been COM
PEELED to stop payment. Yes: the govern
ment is insolsent: its piper has been pro-
tested in this city and returned under the seal
of the notary. The government cannot COM
mand dollar. The whole reveeue, surpI us
and appropriated, is without and hey ond it's
control. IL cannot pay the July dividend Of
surplus to the states, as required by law
no, not one dollar of IT,. And the whole of
IFS funds, for all present available purposes.
