The estimate Of expenditures for the
next fiscal year, presented by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, it is believed, will
be ample for all necessary purposes
II the appropriation made by Congress
shall not exceed the amount cetinated. the
means in the Treasury will be sufficient
to deiray all the expenses of the govern
ment; to pay off The next instalment of
S3,00O,O00 to Mexico, which falls due on
the 3Oth of May next, and still a consid-
cradle surplus will remain, which should
be applied to further purchases of the
public stock and reduction Of the debt
Should other appropriations be made, the
necessary consequence will be, to post
pone the payment Of the debt. Though
our debt as compared with that of most
other nations in the world, is small, it is
our true policy, and in harmony with the
nature Of our institutions, that we should
present tothe world the rare spectacle Of
great Republic, possessing vast resour.

are clearly within the power of Congress.

boxes, which contained bombshells, one of the
