We are opposed to the immediate payment OF
the debt, and 10 favor of refuudiug it at the
lowest possible rate Of interest. The present
generation created the debt. and suffered
enough 10 doing so without! bling compelled to
Day it. If any man familiar With the appear
anoe of the South 10 1860 will travel through it
COW be will be satisfied that the people OF this
half of the country. at least. are 10 no c,ndi-
ton to pay the principal of the debt. M, let
the debt be refunded 10 three per cents. aud
let the tariff and internal revenue be reduced
to an amount just sufficient to ply tbat interest
and carry on the government. Such measures
will afford present RELIEF to the people OF the
c,uutry, both by reducing the ptics OF almost
everything they buy and by increasing the de-
msnd for labor by increasing foreign orders tor
American productions. The payment OF The
debt by the present generation will be q grie7ous
burdep; to the next, owing to the rapid in
crease 10 the population and wealth OF the
country. it would be mere bsgatelle.
