patriotism Of the people has placed at the disposal
Of the Government the large means demanded by
the public exigencics. Much of the national loan
has been taken by citizens Of the industrial classes
whose confidence in their countrys faith, and zeal
for their country's dcliverance from its present
peril have induced them to contribute to the sup
port Of the Government, the whole Of their limited
acquisitions This fact imposes peculiar obliga-
tons to economy in disbursements and energy in
action.

the remaining thrpe-uartcrs of the fiscal year, to-

be submitted 20 Congress by the Secretary of the
Treasury IL is gratifying to know that the cN-

lievc that the same patriotism which has thus far
sustained government will continue 10 sustain it
until peace and union shall again bless the land.
