Cd Make il the duty Of the Secretary OF
the Treasury, TO extend the bonds due by the
merchants, Tor duties, for reasonable period,
in all cases where the Collectors Of Customs,
and District Attorneys, are satisfied that the
interest Of the Government VIII not be COM
promised by such indulgence.
3D. Direct the payment to the States OF the
fourth instalment of the surplus revenue on
the st of October and to meet the deficit that
will thus be created in the Treasury, authorize
the issue of Treasury notes for convenient
sums, payable in given number OF years, at
a suitable rate of interest.
To us it appears that the above measures
will be fraught with unmingled advantage to
the business community in all sections of the
Union, while they will not interfere with the
adoption Of any permanent, system which the
wisdom Of the National Legislature may deem
necessary TO authorize. Every one is aware
that the Government creditors will not hest
tate to receive in payment of their claims the
notes of such banking institutions as are con-
sidered worthy OF credit in the community
where they reside, and there would be no diff
ficulty in providing specie for the few dlaim-
ants by whom il would be demanded.
That the destructive will oppose every fea-
sible plan of relief which tends to restore con-
fidence in the solidity Of our institutions, and
thus pave the way for resumption Of specie
payments. is highly probable but let the in
telligent and patriotic members Of both Houses
of Congress act in harmony, and the country
can be materially relieved in the short period
of thirty days from this time.
