foreign capitalists refuser to invest in | ness, lo the
Confederate securities, and the credit
of the individual States is far below par
in foreign markets, llow then is it to
bo reasonably expected, that the in
dorsement of the Confederate bonds by
the States, will give them a value in
foreign markets, which is attached to
neither tho credit of the Confederacy,
nor of the individual States? While
tho wnt and the blockade last, and
while wo reluso to submit to taxation
Hufticicnt to roliro a reasonable propor
tion of our paper issues, it is vain to
expect that we can fund the debt
abroad, without the most ruinous sacri
fice, no matter how often the paper is
indorsed by the parties now morally
bound for its payment.
l!ut it may be Said, if Hie States are
now morally bound for the payment of
the debt, and their people nro legally
bound to submit to the necessary tax
for that purpose, when imposed by the
Confederate Government, Why not
iudorso tlio bonds, and let Hie States
tako upon themselves the direct legal
obligation to pay. To my mind, there
are very obvious reasons why it should
not bo done.
While the Constitutional obligation
rests upon tlio people cf the States, to
submit to the taxation imposed by Con-
yr.ss, to pay the debts of tlio Confeder
acy, tlie Constitution imposes upon
Congress, which is tlio powor Unit
creates the liability, tlio solo response
bilily of devising tlio means, undnssoss
iug tlio taxes, necessary to discharge
the obligation. This is as it should lie.
Tlio power in the Government that
creates tlio debt, should lnivo resting
upon it. the sole responsibility of pro
viding tlio tncrihs for.ils payment, and
of imposing tlio taxes for Hint purpose
which may bo nooossury. Tlio peoplo
then know iiow to hold their agents to
a proper accountability.
.Suppose, however* the States indorse
tho debt, and pledgo tlic-ir individual
fuiih us States, fop its poymont at matu
rity ; and Congress, afraid of its popu
larity, does not wish to talfo tlio res
ponsibility to assess tlio tax, to meet it.
What follows ? The iStutes to maintain
their individual credit, must themselves
assess, and collect the tax, and make
tlio payment. Congress men iinding
that thoy could in this way avoid an
unpleasant responsibility, and retain
their places with loss ditnOulty, Would,
after having contracted tiie debt, whoa
pay day came, turn over tlio responsi
bility to tlio legislatures of tlio States.
Thus wo should have one Government
to spend the money, and another
cliargeablo with the responsibility of
raising it. Congress would then occupy,
very much' tlio position of tlio rich
mail’s prodigal son at college, who,
having no responsibility about footing
the hill at Hie cud of tlio year, fools
very little concern about the size to
which it accumulates.
Agnin, sad cxporicuco has shown us,
that tile tendency of our Government,
fs to consolidation, and that tlio con.ml
Government is ever ready to usurp us
much undelcgatcd power, us tlio States
will consent to lose.—As tlio central
Government grows stronger, tlio States
grow weaker, and their just rights uro
disregarded. Now, I can imagine no
one act of tlio States, that will tend so
much to strengthen the central Gov
ernment, at the expense, to them, of
the loss of their just powers, as tlio
adoption of the policy now proposed,
which binds them individually, to pro
vide for the payment of all tho debts
which Congress may choose to contract,
the assessment
purposes abov
ing the people
and cheerful payment of tlioir propor
tion of it. If this be done, 1 have no
misgivings about the result. Tlio good
ccfmmon practical sense of the peoplo,
which is seldom properly appreciated
by politicians, lias already grasped tlio
question. Tlio people understand it.
livery practical, business man knows,
t’r.at paper promises, with paper in
dorsements, can never sustain our
credit, as lon« as wo appropriate, and
draw hundreds of millions of dollars
annually from the treasury, and return
■ milling to it. No matter how many
expedients wo may try, wo shall be
constantly driven back to tlio same
point. Government lias but o.no way
of raising money to reduce its indebt
edness, and that is by taxation, direct
or indire.*i. And ns our ports uro
blockaded, so tliut wo cannot raise
money by direct luxation upon imports,
we luivo no alternative’ left but direct
taxation. As long as wo. attempt to
conduct this war, and maintain our
armies upon paper promises alone, we
must expect to endure all tlio evils of
depreciated credit, inflated currency,
and high prices.
European Governments are already
cdhvinced by Hfp gallant deeds of our
unities, that wo can never be conquered
as long as wo cun keep and maintain
tiiese armies; but they very well under
stand, that tlie anaboiul question under
lies, and ! s tlio foundation upon which
tlie whole structure is built.—Thus far
our policy lias been such, as to afford'
them hut lit tie evidence, that this is
witliusasuro foundation. Whenever
wo have convinced them, that we are
prepared to make tlio sacritices neces
sary to establish a safe and permanent
financial system, wo may expect both
recognition and credit.—Till wo have
done this, wo cannot reasonably oxpeot
either.
Again, no loso almost nothing by
.submitting lo the taxation necessary to
pay tlio interest, and create a sinking
fund upon tlio gold bnsis. Whenever
this becomes tlio settled policy of the
Government, tlio depreciation is very
nearly stopped, nnd the currency loll
in our bauds is worth almost or quite
as much, ns all wo had, was worth bo-
loro wo paid tlio tax. To illustrate s
Tlie. mechanic lias or.o hundred dollars
of Confederate treasury notes. lie
wishes to purchase a good cow and calf,
and liu finds it will take tlio whole sum
to pay for them. Tlio currency is still
depreciating, nnd at tlio end of the
next three months it may take one
hundred ami twenly-livo dollars to
make thq purchase. At this point,
suppose tlie Government assesses a tax
of live per cent, to establish the policy
above indicated, and ho is requited to
pay live dollars of bis hundred to the
Collector. The effect of this is to ab
sorb that much of tlio over issue, and
to givo confidence in the ultimate re
demption of tlio ivlicle. This will at
once stop the decline in tlie vuluu of
tlio notes, anil may cause them to ap
preciate. The consequence will be,
that ho can 1 robablj' purchase (lie same
property with the ninety-five dollars
which remain in bis bunds after the
payment of tlio tax. lu a word, by
paying hack part of the redundant cur
rency into tlie Treasury, wo stop
to bo paid back by them out of our
property in gold, dollar tor.dollar, with
interest, i trust this policy will find
very few ndvocatos.
It is iuflnitcly better for us to submit
to nil tho taxation, nnd make all the
suciiticeB necessary to maintain our
Government nnd sustain our credit,
than to permit the enemy to overturn
otir Government, plunder our homes,
insult our wives and our daughters,
cotiiiscnto our properly, and euslnvo
ourselves and our posterity. We cunnot
avoid tlie one alternative or the other
Humbly imploring n continuation of
Divine favor, let us resolve to stand in
our allotted places, make nil tlie sneri
fices necessary, and place our entire
trust in tlio God of Israel, who is “a
very present help in trouble,” and all
will yet bo well.

in tlie purahaso ot properly as the
wliolo was worth before tlio tax was
but may not bo willing to impose the paid, But suppose the tax to lie bur
taxes to pay. Tlio consummation of |densome, and to absorb a largo prop'or
tiie policy is the complete consolidation
ot tho Government, making tlio States
tlie mere burden bearers of the central
superior.
1 nny bo mol here, with the reiqark
often made, that it is no time now to
defend tho rights of States, or to main
tain principles. Stuto Rights, and
Constitutional principles are the same
in times of war us in times of peace ;
and should be maintained ntall times,
and under all circumstances. Power
once usurped, with acquiescence, is
never relaxed but at tho pointoitlio
bayonet; and wo should not forgot
that rights surrendered in war, nro
never regained in pence.—Wo should
therefore do no act tending to destroy
the States in one grand consolidation,
and lay the foundation of a central des
potism upon tlicir ruins.
Having given sonic of tlie reasons
which satisfy my mind, that tlio hopes
entertained by tlio advocates of State
indorsement, that tho ndoption of their
policy would’retire tlio excess!; of tlie
currency, nnd reduce it to a healthy
condition, are entirely delusive, I may
bo asked if there is 110 remedy for tlio
• evil. My opinion is, that so long os
tho wnr is carried on in its present
magnitude; requiring tlio amount of
daily expenditure now made, and tlio
demand for all necessaries of life ex
ceeds tho supply as far as it now does,
there is no complete remedy for tho
presont evils, of high prices mid ro-
dundant papor currency. There iq one
remedy, and only one, which can miti
gate the evil, inspire confidence in the
stability of tlio Government, and tlio
ultimate payment of the debt, arid in
duce tho investment of surplus capital
• ■I tlio people of other Governments, as
well as our own?in Confederate bonds.
That remedy is taxation by Congress,
sufficient to pay the interest upon tlie
whole debt, in gold or its equivalent,
and to create an annual sinking fund,
sufficient to extinguish the debt within
sumo reasonable time. Convineo cap
italists everywhere, that this is tho
settled policy of tlio government, nnd
that our people are ready to submit to
it.juul make nil tlio sacritices necessary
lo carry it out, and Confederate securi-
• , , . securi
ties will lie sought after in tlio market,
aud most of our excess of circulation
funded, without Hie question being
once asked, whet her is-a 10 indorsements
huve beeii wriuen upon u,e bonds.
In place ot tiie iuuorneuient of the
bonds of ilic Confederacy by tiie States,
i therefore recommend as our response
to be made by tlie propositions of our
tion of our surplus income. Is this a
reuson why it should not bo collected ?
VVe must submit to burdens, and make
heavy sacritices to sustain the Govern
ment, maintain our credit, arid support
our itunies ; or all wo possess must go
down together in a crash, aud involve
us and our posterity in one common
ruin.
Before closing my remarks upon’this
subject, 1 bee leave to express my firm
conviction, tfiut tlie policy advooated
by some of assuming the Confederate
tax, when assessed, and adding it to
tlio debt of tlie State, instead of col
lecting it, lias already boon carried as
for us wise statesmanship or tlio exi
gencies of H10 tinies'will permit. His
simply shifting the burden from one
shoulder to the oilier. Or, in other
words, it is un attempt, in another form,
to conduct tho war, upon paper, with
out its costing us anything. We lnivo
r.o right to turn over all tiie burdens of
the present generation to posterity
This would bo a3 contrary to justice
und sound principles os it would be for
Congress to contract the debt and turn
over to the State governments the res
ponsibility of providing the. means for
its payment.
Tho policy is exceedingly unwise in
this also, that it causes the State to
borrow tlie present currency at par, to
be pnid back, years lienee, with inter
est, In gold. What prudent man would
do this, in tho management of his own
affairs ? Suppose one planter owes ten
thouaand dollars, would ho sell proper
ty now rit tho presont high prices in
currency and pay tlie debt, or would he
hold on to his property, and pay inter
cst upon tho debt till the war is over,
and tho price of everything is again
estimated upon tlie gold basts, and then
sell five times as much property to pay
tlie samo debt? If he adopted the
luttor alternative, we would say. he
needed a guardian. If wo agree that
this policy would bo unwise in individ
uals, wo must not forgot, that the State
is but un association ot individuals
When upon a question of this clinrao
ter, wo huvo ascertained what would be
tlio interest of a prudent individual, or
a small number of individuals, we have
only to enlurge the ciiclc, and wo have
the interest of the State. This is a rule
by which 1 liavo been guided in the
management of tho iinauces of tho
State, and 1 believe it to bo the only
true mid successful one.
