To You, The consideration Of Ite'e
matters appropriately belongs-in y"u.
the powers Of tsxs,ion and appropriation

10 you are these matters most respect

] WouiI recommend. that whatever
schemes Of expenditure you may embark
in, that you Keep vi hin the means al the
command &C the state; other~ise, the
people must be taxed more heavily, or
the state must contract loan. The
pressure III the times lorhIds the former

states should make u., for The present,
decline the latter.
The mania for state barking. and the
mad career al internal improvement,
which seized number Of the stsIFs. have
inv olved them in an Indebtedness. very
oppressive. but moi hopeless. American
credit and character require that the stain
ri violated faith should be obliierA'ed, by
our homes, aeknow lcdgrmen, ofihe d'o''
and sill more honest nGr. u pay u.
! therefore recommend The passage "l
resolutions. expressive of the strong ~.

redemption every pledge ofpubl'e ial'h'
and. of IFS utter detestsiion al the ahn-
mn'bls doctrine o. REPUTATION. That
state, which honestly owes a debt, s"a
