SPEECH OF Mr. CALHOUN OF SoprH CAROLINA,
o In Senate, 1mesday april H. l6i2-On the Loan Bill
The question being the passage OF The bill, and
/, the yeas md nays having been ordered
Mr. CALHOUN said, that it was not his object IN rs'
ING at this late stage of the question: TO discuss inc pro
! visions of this bill. That had been done go July ana
,bv bv those who had preceded in the debate on the
same side that he bad word 10 add. But, N or
der TO have full and clear understanding oil the Dear
inc of this mess the finances Of the Government,
we must look beyond the provisions OF the bill was
:, not lone measure, unconnected with those which
it, or would succeed it, but quite the reverse
II was link in the system Of policy commenced nj The
sneca session. and which had hitherto been perseVer'
oely followed up md if he not greatly deceived,
would be persisted in SO long as those VINO now nase
the control held power. Already has the system con-
tribued greatly depress the credit of the Govern
mert aud is to be feared if be not arrested that
It will sink it far below its present level what pro-
i pospd in the remarks which he about TO oer, was
trace the Of the system IN ITS bearings
J. on the finances and credit Of the Government.
That the credit Of the Government greatly impair
! ed or late. will rot be denied. Ii is but short time
since the very committee which reported this loan bill
reported another for about the same amount, winch nc
: came law At,hal time, high did the credit Of the
Government stand, that it was expressly PROVIDED mat
mt moro than six per cent interest should be allowed,
and thai the loan should be rcdeemabe in three years
AS short as was The period i, confidently predicted
tina, it would be taken at Eve per cent and the secre-
tary of the Treasury commenced his negotiation for the
loan with that expectation, and actually obtained con-
siderable portion Of it under six per cent The bill
