two and the three per cent funds, portions,
i if not all of which, have been received by
the state, and instead Of being apprOpriat-
ed to some purpose of general utility, are
boarded up at the capital to the great injury
Of the people-and in defiance TOO of the
distribution law, which gave to the State a
large amount Of money, but which our de-

some frivolous plea, Of want Of power on
the part of Congress, to distribute the peo-
pies money equally among themselves. In
