BY eectiOn OF article of the constitution, if the
unappf0priated revenues OF the State in 1854 shal
not be sufficient to defray the necessary expenses Of
the government without continuing or levying a d
rect tax the Legislature may, at its discretion sup
ply the deficiency, in whole in part, from the
plus OF the canals to the extent of $50 900

A portion, if not all Of the Bank Fund Stock, which
bears an interest Of six per cent, might be made
available by exchange for State stock bearing five
per cent interest, which the Comptroller holds in
trust for the school and literature funds and which
could be readily disposed of. But though the par Of
