FIRST SESSION,
Il()USE OF REl’ RE ENTATIVES.
Friday, jepte n'wr 22, 1837.
The bid to postpo ie the lb irtii in
stalment of liie payment to inc states '
being iimJer-t cm. Lita aiion— i
Mr. Holsey, of Georgia, sail he I
was m favor of the hili under discus
sion, so far as it proposed io with
hold the fourth instalment from the
States. A crisis has arrived (said
Mr. II.) when this Government has
need of all its treasure. It has no
longer the abi.iiy io dispence boun
ty to the states in the form ofdepo-j
site of a surplus fund. It has no sin -1
plus. Nay, more, sir, if every d.>l-■]
lar of the fourth distal ent be with
held; ii it were all available in th
; hands of the Secretary of the Preas
i ury, it would not enable him to de
i fray the necessary expen 'itures of
the current year and provide a pio
: per fund for the use of the Mint and
icontingent calls upon the Treasury.
! But one \ ear since, sir, the coffers
’ of this Government groaned beneath
[their superabundance, & your conn-,
]cils were perplexed as to itsdi>posi ;
timi. life "trea nos your revenues,'
instead oi btiug confined witniii the
channels marked out by the n.m lo!
tue •- onstitutioi), lias overilowed its
i banks with a tlood that could not be
drained by the wildest and most ex
travagant appropriation. It was di
verted to Hie 'talcs, to be again re
turned, when demanded by the exi
gences of the nation. But, before
tne last portion of the surplus has
reached ils destination, the fountains
oi jour prosperity Have been (hied
up; your accustomed supplies are
cut off; the wheels of the Govern
ment revolve slowly on their axles,
and, unless that portion of the reve
nue originailj designed for the states
be now bi ought to bear upon them,
will soon come to pause —a pause,
Air. I hairmat), which no man who
I lox es hi> counlrj can lor a moment
contemplate, and winch must inevit
ablj Happen, but ior the adoption of
the measure now under considera
tion.
Sir, we ha\ e strong appeals to the
liaith oi Uns xiovcinment to fulfil the
expe< ialious oi Hie stales, ioundud
upon the dcp<->.te act ol 133(1. I
deny the oDng<iiion. I can safclj’
appeal to the Hilur and intelligence
ol the Peopie, and asK whether they
desire lor pm the money
collected bj tiH'> vjuv ernment, w hen
it is y lor k t*, crt.il purposes?

wlmii is no. a art oi tne income ol
the present j t ar. ihe amou.it of
expciiuHuic, bj vi.tu< oi appropria
tions, is dm IJ -tw o ii.niion*, leaving a
balance oi six millions against tne
i 11 j'uiy, or a (mncit to th<*i amount.
I ins ueot ol six minions cannot be
paid ( XCCpt D > a I’CsOl I to tne ioui’t
instaimt nt, oi lothose transfers •. h
have already been made ail the
States, i’had we give mem the
fourth iustalmt nt in ‘ icu hand,
draw from them v. x.i the rignt, un
der tiiu provisions o! the deposite
act ? It is mure easy to deposilc;
money with the States than to col
lect ii from them Sir, the process
of collection will be fraught with de
lays, dangers, collisions between the
two Governments, which leave your
Treasury totally unable to pay the
appropriations. It is already an
nounced in this hall that the depo
sites with the States are a gift to
them. Manj r of the States have
made permanent investments of this
found.-Some have deposited it with
banks, to be loaned to the People.
/VII will feel reluctant to return it. If
we might judge from the tone of de
bate, some of the States would, as
their representatives have done, at
tempt to ‘argue the seal from the
bond,’ and prove the loan to be a
, ft. The difficulty is inherent in
ihe nature iff demands upon political
bodies; the same which existed un
der the confederation. Some will
refuse to paj r under colorable pre
texts, and none will paj’ without all
will pay! Wc must therefore, dis
card the idea of drawing upon the
States for the funds already on de
posite with them.—The only expe
dient left is to arrest the nine mill
j ions due under the last instalment.
'This amount in the deposite banks
will not, in all probability, cancel the
debt of six millions. —Indeed, the
general and signal failure of those
institutions to comply with their en
gagements renders it doubtful wheth
er any considerable portion of it can
Ibe collected. But as far as this fund
: can go to dcfr iy the expenses of the
Government, it should go. It is not
legitimate to divert it to any other
object. But six millions of excess
]of expenditure is a minimum point;
lone to which all will, and, I believe,
have agreed.
I
But the honor ol our arms must
be sustained in Florida, its blee
|ding inhabitants protected against
their savage enemies. One million
and a half of dollars is estimated for
this purposeduring the present year.
The present session of Congress
will cost half a million. These two
amounts are not put down in the re
port, and increase the excess to eight
(millions. 11 to this you add four
I I at the end of the year, for the use of
1 1 he Mint, and contingent calls upon
the Treasury, you have an excess of
expenditure & liabilities amounting
to twelve millions of dollars. Can
anj gentleman equalize the income
and expenditure of the present year?
Will he strike a balance between
the meansand liabilities of the Trea
sury? The gentlemen from Ten
nessee (Mr. Bell) has indeed dis
covered a new and singular method
of replenishing an exhausted Treasu
ry—bj - considering the money in the
tt ‘.mis<>fdisbursing officers 5 millions
as an mui ease of the meansof the Trca
siiij bejond the items already enu
