Rcsoieed, That the experience Of this country for
the last ten years, has demonstrated, VIA: seemed to
nave become matter OF doubt in the minds of many
eminent statesmen that Tie credit of States, ike that
OF individuals, has its limit, and that, when not sus
tanned by certain means, and controlled by discretion
and integrity, instead Of being an element of prosperi
