the Treasury to pay the Auditors warrants
and the interest on the bonds both. He re-
ferred to the absurdity of supposing that ne
would renounce his principles, after having
travelled so much and spoken SO much to make
them known.
He referred to the editor of the Free Ira
der hvpocritically speaking of his sorrow that
such good man as Judge ). should nave mus
pIaved double game, and OF the pledge OF
the editor of the Free Trader to call on his COR
respondents for proof should Judge Shattuck
deny their statements knowing that they up
set each other, (that editor must know, and
certainly does know, that Judge Shattuck has
denied it repeatedly, yet his correspondents
are mule)
Judge Slattuck declared that he did not
consider an increase of taxation necessary, the
present bill, bringing in as it must, after this
year S6500O0 annually, with careful nus
banding of the assets of the Union Bank would
support an economical government and IL
quidate the debt. He was in favor of placing
the Union Bank in liquidation, and proves
that our opponents had no disposition to do
So and warned the people, that the result of
the success of Anti-Bondism would be the
squanderng of the Union Bank assets. He
spoke of those brave fellows, the Mullenses
&c. who were going TO shoot the British Tax
collectors and asked even then whether it
would not be better to pay the d or millions
that the Union Bank could supply towards the
debt first, and then. shoot, if they would shoot.
He looked upon this way of taxation as bride
to repudiate the bonds, as saying to a man is
your honesty worth 10 or 90 dollars? He
asked who proposed an increase of taxation!
Not the wings. 1t was g-bear, gotten up
to deter the people from paying so just debt,
10y telling them that it would cost too much
A state with exports of Is to 30 millions dol
lars annually, unable TO pay debt Of mil
lions in is years!
lie spoke too of the propositions Of two An
ti-Bonders in the legislature, Tucker to tax
every bale of cotton one dollar, which would
amount TO 100000 dollars a year, and Walton
10 levy double tax to pay Planters Bank
bonds, and showed that, if their propositions
had prevailed, he State would have paid L.
20OO00 dollars more year than she does
now. He indicated trumphantly the con
situtionality of the Bank bills. His constitu
tlonal arguments were level 10 the plaineS
comprehension and were overwhelming.
He deemed it impossible, that Democra-
tic Bond-Payer could so far prefer party to
country, as. upon this great qestion. ia which
he, that Democrat, admits the honor of the
State to be concerned to the highest degree,
to aid in placing in office, the advocates OF
Ant-Bond doctrines.
He quoted the protest of Tucker, and the
messages oil McNutt TO prove that they hac
both declared the Bond contract, binding, AM
in force.
His whole speech was characterized b.
close argument, caustic satire, and grea
humor.
