Treasury aud the President, from parties abroad IN

~. Of these people was 10 obtain an assumption oil
safe debts by the Federal Government. This was
lle 10 be on; of the question, and the proceeds OF
public lands was the only thing which could be
.ael 10 their advantage. A bill ma,ured, distr

the progress Of events has developed the fact that
revenues from the customs are, and will continue
BE-, inadequate to meet the expenses OF The Govern

Conditional clause must be repealed. Already three
