Mr.. LaSsiSG-Certainly
Mr.. MORRILL, of Vermont-I have been some

sneech OF tho gentleman from Indiana MIR. Foor-

uepts which be attempted TO present IS facts. en-

Of giving the precise facts supposng that the gentle

anxious to I've accurate in his statement when he
was about TO send TO the public, but the gentleman
declined any such corrections.
Now, what was tho representation OF the geut"'
man7 Why, that at The end Of the next year our
debt would amour, to 5000 100000, and that 'ie
annual interest upon our present Indebtedness wouu
amoput to 500 OOO. OOO Mr.. Speaker, TO say no'u-
inc about the tare Of attacking the Aduinis.iaioh

If there il any extravagsnt expenditure, they are us
much responsible as any party ~ this county,:
While eueh are the facts, and while the Office OF
secretary Of War ia also filled by Democrat, such
speech comes with an Ill grace from the gentleman
am willing that parties gmlty OF FRAUD shal DC
visited by due punishment, and VIII 20 IN lar as the
gentleman himself TO effect that object. Let them
be hung on gDbeis, and be eXecrated Tor all time
think the gentleman will find as many OF these mar
tyrs in the Demsc raIe ranks as anywhere eise Bun,
Ar. Sneaker alt that is out Of orGeTRs much 60 IS
the gentleman's speech. l merely Intended to give
the iscts in reference to the public expenditures.
The whole amount O! the appropriations which
have passed this House for 1862 Is s5o6. 200 U0 The
whole amount Of appropriations for 1865 II sJi4,-
O82 600 This 10 large enough, but not so large as
understood the statement OF the gentleman by a1ou'
oue-half. Conseq uently, If this war should con-
Time even till the expiration Of next year, the eX'
pendture will not then have amounted To more th.n
81 100 900 900. Tie amount Of the present lDdeDt-
edness including the old debt, is but little over
5000. O00, 900 Therefore the Interest on the puthc
debt cannot be, even al seven per cent, more thah
500 900; and if the wsr should continue III tne
end of 1863 il would not amount 10 over S15OoVcVO
But Mr. Speaker, we have somo reason TO hope
that this war will be closed long before the exiIfa'
ton of 1861 and ii so ,ben Of course our expenol-
ture will be largely Illuminated.
Now, iu regard to the ability Of the people TO sup
port this enormous load OF taxation. The people OF
England have supported o debt which takes one
fourth part of their annual earnings. TAXING oui
annual productions as basis OF calcn Stlon, We
could support debt Of 81, 900 coo 0OJ aud still not
be taxed 20 heavily as England Is at the present
moment.
But to chow the real value of orr securities-tC
show the soldity of our Government, and the gen
eral confidence IN the present Administration, We
have to go to the money markets OF the word. Al
this time Wall street, State street, and VALIANT street
refute the gent lemaIs charge OF extravaganza ant
general peculation. There our securities bear pre-
MUM at this moment, and DO lot suppose they vii
depreciate in consequence OF merely pohtica
speech.
Mr.. LANSING resumed the floor
Mr.. kELLEY-I ask the gentle nan TO yield To me.
