The Presidents proposition to rep Adiate our
national debt al the end of sixteen years and
eight months has been secuted by every news
paper IN the country except Brick Pomeroys,
and was yesterday condemned By the House
OF Representatives with singular unanlmity.
Mr.. Broomall' s resolution recited the passage
in the message Of the President IN reference to
the liquidation of the six per cent. bonds BY
the payment of interest, and then proceeded as
follows:
land VIII. reas such a senti nent, If permitted
10 go 10 the world without Immediate protest,
might be understood to be the sentiment of the
people of the United States and OF their repre-
sentves in Congress: Therefore,
s'ResGired, That all forms and degrees OF repu-
dIation OF national Indebtedness are odIouS 10
the American people, and that, under no cir
cumstances- will their representatives consent
TO offer the public creditor, as full compensa-
ton, less amount of money than that which
the government contracted TO pay
The question was taken on the preamble and
the following part of the resolution. namely:
ResOjred, That all forms and degrees OF re-
pGdlatIOn of National indie btedness are odious
10 the American people.
And IT was agreed to by a vote of Isl yeas to
nays; those voting nay being Messrs. Adams,
Archer, Grover, Jones. Munger and TrImble.
The other part Of the resolution was then agreed
10 without division. This conclusive vote
serves 10 show that the idea of reputation,
direct or indirect, has really not the slightest
iOoi-noid with the American people.
