ent bonded debt. This proposition,
coming as it does from the bOndhOlders,
the State can afford TO accept, but in
my Judgment she cannot afford to conf
promise her dignity by making a diff
ferent proposition, or seeming to higgle
for other terms, but must, as it seems
10 me. accept or decline this PROPOSE
ton.
Indeed, to make Il different position,
and hold in terrOrem e the heads of
our creditors the threat of reputation,
would be reputation to the extent of
the difference between the propositions.
The ability and zeal Of the gentlemen
composing the committee sent by the
Legislature, at its last session, to New
York to confer with the hondh0ldcrs,
warrants the confident belief that they
obtained the best proposition that the
bondholders were willing to make, and
frankness compels me to say, a much
better proposition than | had any rea-
son to expect.
The acceptance of this proposition
saves to the Taxpayers of Tennessee
forty per cent. of their debt amounting
to more than nine millions of dollars.
The question is, shall we accept il?
We must accept, and in good faith pay
the sixty per cent. Of our present debt,
according to its terms, or VIC must pay,
or repudiate the whole debt.
Can Tennessee afford to ]repudiatc,
with her antecedents, her history, her
| fertile and productive soil, her mineral
wealth., ner commerce., Hci ldtlIllltH III
manufacturing, and the indomitablc
courage, energy, enterprise and pride
of character Of her people!
Reputation would not only destroy
| State credit (Which | hope we may not
have occasion to use in f~uture), but in
dividual credit would be greatly i'm
paired. if not destroyed also; immigra-
ton retarded, the influx of capital re-
PEELED, and with it, our commercial,
manufacturing and mechanical inter-
ests crippled, if not Frustrated.
Oppressive as may be the taxation to
pay this debt, | am satisfied that if we
place it ON no higher ground than that
of pecuniary interest, we promote these
interests much more by paying, than
by repudiating the debt.
But aside from the question OF pecu-
| MARY interest, for myself, | do not hes
itatc TO say, that | would rather, much
rather, give up every dollar Of property
that | possess, than see the fair name of
Tennessee furnished with the stain of
reputation. / therefore earnestly hope
that the Legislature will promptly ac-
cept the proposed terms Of adjustment.
Very respectfully,
IsHAM G HARRIS.
