which do not believe then LEI it compound with s
creditors well as il can. II would be highly unjust
to force the people of other States who neither
tracted the debt got the benefit Off, to pay instead
OF the real debtor. lfany State its obi
gations it would not become the able to pay the
National Government, if that should take the place Of
the present creditors. If any State pay now

As,o taxing The States further pay their ob!iga,ion
think that Pennsy lvauia should raise enough by
taxes aud tolls every year. topay, at least the interest,"
If mt portion of the principal Of nur debt We would
no, dictate TO other States but, IL they asked our OPT
nion should certainly advise Them TO do The sane
thing and if they asserted their absolute inability
them we would say, do as much possible II they

very clear That they could not bear them il laid for the
same purpose BY the National Government OF course,
If the National Government assumed the debt it must
still stand unpaid, be unjustly wrong from those
who do not owe it.
As 10 taking charge Of the American character, by
paying the debts OF every American spendthrift, We
think that would be carrying the j"ke rather far,
and wonld, moreover, make the American character
worse than BEFORE for such debts would increase so
fast, that stop to their payment mus. at last,
with an increase OF their amount.
We would have Penns, vania take care Of her own
credit and hunor; provide for the payment Of her
debt, ard them If there should be State The
American continent that would or could not paw
and foreigners should generally impue that fact as
reproach to ennsylvana, why We would let our cha
ractrr suffer with such foreigners, while reflected
that Providence had suffered large quantity Of weak
minds 10 exist in the old world.
We do not think, however, that our character would
suffer long for the misdeeds Of others We believe
there some American stocks that sell fair
rates in Europe. There are American merchants in
coed credit in Europe, notwithstanding that other
American merchants cannot will not pay what they
owe.
An American merchant who should undertake 10 IL.
~ date the European debts of oil bankrupt American
merchants in order 10 preserve his own regulations,
would be accounted insane but his act would not be
more irrational than would he for Pennsylvania 10
discharge the debts Of other Sta'es which or
will not pay themselves, and this merely with view
to preserve her own good abroad.
