The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1847-11-19

Every effort has been made by the factous portion Of tia
opposition to thwar the admins traon to arrest the war
resist the rights, and tarnsh the honor of the nation
attempts have been made 10 prevent the supplies of men
md of money. The TO be ntimdaed from
serving their country by the most gloomy and En-
raragant representations of the malgnity of the eli
nate the violence OF the vomito, and the mortal
ty OF our troops. The public spirit was said to be
Exhausted, and il was impossible 10 obtain aDv
more volunteers In this dastardly effort the opposi
ion have been completely foed Volunteers continu.
% obey the acquisitions OF the government and IA
rush to the standard of their country We now hear
If new regiments and additional thousands landing
1t Vera Cruz to join the triumphant army Of Mex.
Co Attempts also made to blast The public
credit, to depreciae the value of stocks, and 10
Letter the moneyed capitalist from lending his money to
Ills country. In this disyraceul policy aso the oppos.
lion sgnally failed; for four times money offer
dn the way OF loan than wanted and could be accept
a. Anew phantom also got up to alarm the people
A cry was raised about the immensely of the war debt
At time the country told of its expenses being
half million day: at another, that its annual cost
sixty millions, perhaps one hundred millions. We
forward to lay this ghost of faction in the Red
Sea- And ask intelligent people what confidence
they repose in the patriotism in the truth and sa
yacity of such statesmen
Congress is the eve OF meeting Great questions
TO be tried, and appeal fearlessy to the people
This war must be vigorously prosecuted The glory Of
flag must be supported Our rights must be maintained
Where is the patriot who will stand up for his cou.
try and call upon Congress to vote all the necessary sup
plies to exact Justice from this race OF barbarans
We now lay before readers official account from
the books of the Treasury by the Register of the Treas
ury Mr. Graham of the amount of public debt due on
the ls OF this month will be perceived that the total
amount is $i522,l2a 90. By reference to the Official
account from the books of the Treasury, given by the
late Register of the Treasury Mr. Gillet dated Deem
Der L., 1885, and which we again publish it appears that
he public debt due on the 4th of March, 1915, before
this administration came into power was SIT So
a part of which has been paid by this administration
Deduct this from the above-s stated now DUE
leaves the account as follows:
Public debt now due $45l22, 1913 %
Public debt due 4th March, 1915 HISS, 1893 g.
Increase of debt since 4th March, 1915 $27 333624 81
In about eighteen months the war debt has amounted
to about $4,000 ooobeing at the rate of about eighteen
Millions per annum From this however, in future, we
must deduct the increase of flowing in under the
new tariff, and whatever sum we can obtain hereafter
from military contributions Mexico; which we hope
under the orders lately issued, may be considerable
Who will not incur such debt, double treble its
amount to support the honor Of his country one,
we repeat with gallant officer with whom con.
versed three days ago, sour army have covered their
country with laurels that never fade. They have
extended our fame to the remoes of the EARTH
and made impression upon Europe which is of meal
cuable Importance The moral force which have thus
acquired, and the military prowess which have demon
straed as part of national character, is worth all
the millions that may expend in the war"
