t&e. PERSONAL EXPLANATION.
Mr.. TYLER made personal explanation,
and said that he had been incorrectly re-
ported in the Dispatch on yesterday, as
proposing to strike g out per centum" IN
Mr.. KoINER's bill land insert 8 per
centum." He intended TO say, "Strike out
per centum in the 14th line, SO as 10
make the bill draw 8 per cent. the first ten
years, per cent. the next ten years, ana .
ner centum thereafter" He thought that
II, making.a proposition We should not
agree to pay more than we would be able to
pay, and he thought per cent, which would
be the average under this bill, fully as much
as the State could pay. He was opposed to
agreeing to pay as interest on the debt a
greater per cent. than those engaged in the
leading pursuits in the State were making
though IL the creditors would make no
other terms, he would not be in favor of
violating the contract to compel them to
take less. He believed they would accept
the best the State could do.
