TEXAS DEBT.

TO he Members Of the Senate and House Of Represetare,
Of hs Congress Of he United States.
GENTLEMEN Every consideration of humanity to the
poor and justice TO all should induce you to adjust the
Texas debt in some form during your present session
Bonds to the of five millions, with large
mutation of interest suspended in the treasury OF the
United States aud have been suspended for the last four
years waiting your action.
As there exists deficit in this fund to pay the creditors
Of Texas al par in full and Texas has thought proper
scale at various rates her public debt large majority OF
her creditors have declined signing their releases the
government Of the United States and receiving the respec
tive amounts which Texas has declared due them This
refusal is announced the alleged injustice of the stand
ard by which Texas proposes TO pay her public debt
aud, moreover, is founded another very material
ground to the government Of the United Stateshat the
United States is liable for the ohoe of the debt Of
Texas according TO the tenor of the obligations the cred
ors of Texas hold irrespective of the scale of reductions
by which she proposes paying it.
Without discussing the general liability of the United
States for the whole debt of Texas under the law of
tons whether discharged not by the spulaons of the
articles of annexation yet in reference the specific iabl-
y of the United States every dollar due by Texas
which her arising from customs pledged there
can question and that this liability will exist through
all time until this specific class of debt is paid which is
the only class of debt presented to Congress for pay
by the creditors Of Texas equally be denied

government of the United States them if Congress
will authorize the Secretary of the Treasury pay the
amount of the present value of the bonds the treasury

them at the period of their maturity.
The question really presented to you, gentlemen, is
whether, contemplate cost of interest," the interest you
will advance when the creditors in perfect accord and
will take your settlement you will not compose this
difficulty, and discharge the United States from all liability
under large and unadjusted obligation? Yes, when the
United States is receiving the duties levied the
