which have hitherto repclled it from our
boundaries.
Let US see how We stand, and what is
proposed.
1t is clearly shown by Official reports,
that In 1850, the first year that the effect
Of the sale Of the public works became
apparent, the sum OF $50, 600 vas paid
on the State debt This did not include
any tonnage tax, but did include the IN
terest due from the Sunbury and Erie
Company on the purpose Of the canals
In 1860 there was paid &669,0J0, with
out including either tonnage tax or inter-
est from the Sun5ury aad Erie Railroad
Company.
1t is apparent, therefore, that the ordi-
nary revenue OF the State, at the present
assessed value Of properly and present
State tax, reduced as 1t IS TO : J millz, fur
nishes an annual surplus beyond the ex-
penses OF government, and all other char
ges except interest On loans, and not in
Guiding tonnage tax, of at least s., zoe, ,G00
Add to the present revenue the proposed
Increased payments Of she Pennsylvania
Railroad ca account OF debt due the Com
monwcalth for Main Line, and it is r6n-
dered certain that a payment Of more than
SSU0,080 eau be made in 1861, and that
amount may be increased yearly, as the
principal OF the debt decreases.
The following statement exhibits the
gradual process Of payment Of the State
debt, by the surplus revenue:
Starting onthe 1 st ofJanuary,
1861. we lind the State d5bt TO
amount TO S3S, 100; eco 0li0
From The Aud.tor-CeneraFs
report for $50. it appears that
,he revenues from al sources
were 3,82e, $50 Il
Expenses of Government

ties, Pensions, Appropriations

penscs OF the State, except In

At the cad of 1861, the debt
is thus reduced 10 S31, 200 600 90
AYaie,ble, to decrease this
debi, we have the surplus, as
above, Of 100000 90
The interest TO be paid, in 1862, is on
the diminished sum Of S37 ,200, ,000; CON
sequently the interest for 1862 is 81 ,S60,-
coo; leaving 10000, as the surplus Of
that year, applicable to the reduction Of
the principal.
The next year, 1868, the debt being
still further diminished, the interest IS
also decreased, and the entire balance CT
