ing statement:
! What is the amount Of the indebt-

be met TO this question I invite

statement ofthe amount Of our total

There was on the last day of Feb
ruary, 1866, a portion of our debt in
the form of temporary loan,to the
amount of $685. ,194 so, paya-
bic at the option of the lender after
ten days notice. It would hardly
be fair to reck on the whole amount
aspayable within the first six m onths,
yet as it may be called for at any
time, and is the least valuable form
Of loan, it must be added to the
statement Of indebtedness on to Re
met. With this explanation, and
supposing the payment Of this loan
to be demanded within the next six
months, I call the attention to the
facts exhibited in the table.
Between this day and the 30th of
June next we must pay, in addi-
ton to the regular expendi ure Of the
Government. Sl3S, S,674,S74 So. Du-

test against any attempt to br:be the

worthy Of powerful government to

tie many of the most troublesome is
