The Presldenps Message ana State DEBTS.

proper motives to the neutral the partisan press,
are apprehensve that portion Of both has given a
version TO that part Of the Presidents Message reat
ing TO the foreign debts of he States, which is not

this subject however trivial il may appear at first,
will if not corrected in the outset lead to of
serious magnitude in the end degree at the meri-
dian, in point at The poles but facts and
truth travel in parallel lines that know divergence.
There should be diversity of opinion the sub
ject Of the Presidents sentiments With regard to the
Indebtedness OF the States; and we apprehend there
will be found none, when the paragraph imbodying
those sentiments is separated period by period and
placed distinctly before the mind We shall thus
therefore, exhibit to the public, without suggestion or
comment.
After considering the subject Of the currency and
exchequer the President thus adveris to that Of the
Indebtedness of the States:
l. Nor can fail to advert in this connection to the
debts which many of the States of the Union have
contracted abroad, and under which they continue
labor.
ii. That indebtedness amounts to a sum not less
than 5000 900 900, and which has been retrbuted to
proyement, which destined to prove of vast inn
portance in ultimately advancing their prosperity and
wealth.
Ill. For the debts thus contracted, the States
alone responsible.
w. do no more than express the belief
that each State will feel itself bound by every
sideration Of honor, well of interest, to meet
its engagements with punctuality.
V. The failure, however, of any State to do so,
should in degree affect the credit of the rest and the
foreign capitalist will have just to experience
alarm as to all other State stocks, because any one
or more of the States may neglect to provide with
punctuality the means of redeemng their engage
ments.
vi. Even such States, should there be any, con-
sdering the great rapdity with which their
are developing themselves, will not fail to have the
means, at no very distant day, to redeem their obi
cations to the uttermost farthng.
VII. Nor will doubt but that in view of that
honorable conduct which has evermore governed the
States, and the People of this Union they will each
and all resort to every legitimate expedent, before
they will forego faithful compliance with their
obligations,

HEMP.

We find the following very interesting article in the
last Peoria Register The farmers of Missouri have
already discovered the profit be derived from the cul

their attention. Within few months past two bag

which large capital has been invested, and ready
market will be furnished for all the Hemp which can
be raised Other factories springing up in differ
ent parts of the State and this will soon become one
OF our most substantial sources of wealth.

with view to ascertain how far the people
ofBaItimore are disposedt to sustain paper which
isindependcnt of Catholic control, have, to-day,
re-pubiished several articles, explanatory of the
controversy between Bishop England and myself,
with purpose of distributing copies among
those who are believed to desire the permanent
establishment of such paper: hoping that their
attention being thus called to the sub; ct, they
will feel the necessity of subscribing themselves,
and using their influence to induce others also to
subscribe.
do this, because so many persons have en-
couraged me to believe that pubic sentiment in
this city is prepared to rally in behalf of such a
paper, that am confident all that is wanting to
secure an adequate patronage, is a very slight
effort on the part of those who have common
feeling on the subject
If the Protestant community of Baltimore como
forward, their example will be followed up by
the public elsewhere, and the usefulness of the
paper win be increased, in the proportion of its
increased circulation.
As yet, there are many looking on, awaiting
the result, who would rejoice in our success, but
hesitate to identify themselves with the move
ment, for fear of its failure. The timid should
be encouraged, and the lukewarm aroused to the
Importance of the issue which is thus created.
When Ipenned my first comment on Bishop Eng
lands letter, had not the most remote idea of
the extent of the plans, the organization, the re-
sources, or the dangers to be encountered. The
examination of the subject has filed me with APP
prehension, and nothing but sense of duty would
induce me to throw myself into the controversy.
1 am prepared, however, to do my duty, if am
sustained by those who have no less interest in
d than myself; and with that view l invite all
who are willing to aid me, to do what they can
towards it. Respectfully,
