aYan myself Of the occasion to ask the spacial
at5entlnn Of Congress to it.

/ special privilege of circulation from their inst
proportion Of the public burdens. In order to

ealve the early sanction Of Congress.
by such measures, in my opinion, will the
payment be most certainly secured, not only 70
the army and navy, but to all honest credit
