An Expose of the Public Debt.
Mr. Voorhees, addressed the House In
discussing the original existence of the
national debt, he solemnly asserted that
q vast proportion of the public debt, as
stated on paper, had no existence in re-
! atty; that it was fiction, created by un-
lust legislation, or still more unjust and
scandslous violation Of contract; that it
was fraud upon the labor of the nation
/ without consideration, either legal OF
! ynoral-that it was sheer and naked
| extOrtiOn from the wants, necessities and
| helplessness of the people, and armies
I when they were wholly at the mercy OF
thecapital. He had made his calculations,
and made them: safely-he had under-es
! timated the wrongs of the people, and the
enormous advantages of bondholders,
rather than estimated them.
In 1862 there were issued bonds to the
amount of 500, 992, 45O at six per cent
The average price of gold was then 1881 il
currency. at that rate the purchasers of the
frat issue of over sec, 600, 900 paid for those
bonds S44, CSC. G49 in gold. If those bondi
were to be paid back in gold. the holders
wopld receive Sl6,95l, g0l more than they
paid to the Government This was bonus
of Gift. On this bonus interest to tht
amount Of Sc, 1O2, 654 was already paid, anC
the interest yet to accrue would reacl
the sum of Sl4, 239, 528. The account
therefore. in 1862 stood as follows:
Amount of bonds sold, $50, 992. $50
amount paid for them, S44, 030 $40

gentlemen who have embarked in this
much needed branch of manufacturing inI
Western Vermont, to have the establish
rhent in running order early in November
next. The machinery for the paper mill
is all first class, and part OF it has al
ready reached Middlebury. The great
drawback in the manufacture Of pure
white paper for newspaper printing, is
the difficulty Of procuring n steady sup
ply of pure water The volume Of water
at Middlebury fully meets this need and
the company have built a reservoir of
several hundred hogsheads capacity to
which patent filterer has been attached
so that in case of sudden and severe
rain, the reservoir will supply the manu-
factory with pure water for at least a
work The gentlemen who
have put their money into this business
assure us that nothing but superior paper
will be furnished. They deserve and we
know they will receive the hearty support
of the newspaper press Of the State
