d reckless mpudence to ask for new appropriations
e amounting to three millions OF dollars and her
turn right round, the face OF an intelligent people

np asking for 'more money, more money, there Is nc
telling where the thing may terminate and the public
debt NAV be fifty millions instead of SIX Last SESSION
the gentleman from n. York, Mr. Barnard, labored te
show that there was public debt hanging over US o
fortv millions Other gentlemen contended that there
were len, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five millions They
greatly differed among themselves 20 the amount
Now, the Secretary ofte Treasury comes forward, and
with II his misstatements cannot make 1t out but
little over three millions, excluding the appopria
tons that asked for

said the public debt forty millions
Mr. w proceeded. l read the gentemans speech
r carefully, and | cannot be mistaken. He even Sc
down the fourth nstament under the deposlte act
part Of the public debt
Mr. Barnard did no such thing, and if the gen
,lean read my speech he knows he misreprescntns
me.
Mr. W did read the gentlsman's Speech but it wa
a tough p it made the cold sweat pour of me; and
can get forgiveness for reading it, pledge myself ne
yer 10 bother my brain with any Of the gentle
mans erratic etfusions
Mr. Chairman regret that am not permitted t,
discuss many matters connected with this Admlnstra
ton would like TO contrast their promises and pro
LESSONS before coming into power with their practice
since But this am told will not BE in order ant
therefore resume my seat.
