that a tax nf so cents dollar would pay bal
the debt to be incurred the coming year.
Mr.. Kirkland said that the Committee had ar
rived at the conclusion, after consultation with
the Treasurer, that tax of Is cents on the dol
lar, With the borrowing o. like sum, wonld pa,
the expenses OF the State for the wear. The
Committee thought 1t sound principle that the
State should pay one-half the expenses of the
war as we 90 along, leaving the other half for pos
terIty. Was that a souLd principle
lie said the State had committed itself to the
wa, and had pledged its resources now and here
alter to the settlement of the questions forced
upon the Government. But the people had been
burdened under heavy local taxation, for bounties.
and fixing the limit of State taxation this ougbs
to be considered. These boun,ies would not he
believed, be hereafter paid.
lie did not take SO gloomy a view of the fu-
ture as seemed TO appIl other Senator's. The ma e.
hon I al hitherto incurred heavy debts, had paid
them, and been all the richer for it, He believed
the nation had energy and the resources sufficient
for the per!ls by which it was envlroned. L. was
not TO be ruined. II was to be better and s,ron
ger country than ever before.
lie said 1t bad been predicted for years that
England would break down under her mighty
debt, but instead of these predictions being vrri-
hed, her power had been continually expanding,
and she had to-day wider empire, and more
controlling influence than ever before. And have
the English people more resources to rely upon
than ours-haVe they more industry, thrift, and
Intelligence than we?
lie argued f'om the wealth and population of
the country now and at The close OF the reyou-
ton, that S3,000,0OO, 0O0 debt now would not
be larger than debt Ct 3300,000,O00 then.

The Oath Of Allegiance.

wc find the following reference t" the new
test oath, with which our Legislature pro-
poses 10 saddle the conscience of the peo-
pic Of this State:
To compel men to cal! on the Almighty

bilities--a pledge which they oclieve to
be violation Of their natural rights.

Dahomey's. like Proclamation unworthy
Of Christian Legislature. We trust our
Legislature may never prefer Drac"'s
wisdom to Solon'-. or rolluts their Sta
,ut.- Book with civil authorizations which
not even martha, law. or military neces-
sites have hitherto laid claims to. We
cannot see why such course should be
