This last outstanding in Treasury notes
unpaid. This is the true debt, and it was to be paid
during the year by the income of the revenue IL
never was contemplated to be permanent debt
but was only an anticipation of the revenue 70 that
amount.
This official statement of the Secretary OF the
Treasury must put these vague aud contradictory
assertions on the large debt left by Mr.. Van Buren,,
to rest forever Mr. Forward is the Secretary VI the
Treasury and has the means of giving correct stale
ments, which no doubt he has done.
While the subject of permanent debts, permit
me to say that this Wing Congress have riveted on
the country a permanent debt of ST. 100000, lot
payable before the expiration of 20 years Does II not
me with bad grace from Wings to say thatthe Dem
ocratic party bequeathed them large debt, when the
Wing debt is already four times slarge as the Other,
and this, too, coming from the promsers OF reform,
retrenchm:nt and economy' How true, said the Ro-
consul, that professions and promises made be-
fore election, were not always fulfilled alter it."
MIR. Chairman: Much has been said in thu debate,
Of the extravaganza of the Administration of pr Van
Buren,. When the Administration of MIR. Van Bu-
rem critically examined it will be found to be cheap
and economical Nothing in it can be discovered
like extravaganza or prodigality.
In the several years of his Administration, were
expended the following sums

dent ofhe u s toa large class Of his feowcitizens
Philadelphia, by whom he had been invited to parake
of dinner on the 4th of Juy. 1t is moderate, pa,ri-
otto and just, while the arguments and facts put forth
cannot fail to carry conviction to the mind of every
and patriotic citizen that the President not only
pnrsues conscientious, but wise and magn annous
course. No will hesitate to give the letter an at
teniive and candid perusal We hope to see it find
ITS way in the Wing press.

On no other subject has Wing ingenuity been so
much exercised and on no other subject has II made
so many signal failures Sometimes the debt is made

of some of the party has raised this debt TO thirty
millions. But s'mark how a plain story will put you
