State and its agents, ST.. I49,lJ2

No portion OF tie principal of the public debt
can be called for previous 10 The year 1871 f;
and only about one million OF dollars can be de-
manded at any period whatever.
The Committee express the opinion that the six
per cent. bonds Of he Stale might be sold abroad
al a premium OF 10 or 20 per cent.
The sale of Inc new bonds al % per cent. pre-
MUM, would discharge one-iflh Of our public
debt from the proceeds OF the premiums. The
Committee recommend this plan Tor the pay
ment of the public debt in preference 10 a direct
payment from The treasury or by a sinking fund.
The aggregate Of funds and resources OF he
Commonwealth in nominal amount greatly ex-
ceeds The public debt.
