Under this prospeflife view of (lie fi

became in ilie judgment of tlie commi'-

ference to the obligations incumbent up
on them from the* general trufi with
which they were dotli-d h* also in de.
ference to that portion of the nieffige of
the Prefident of the Unit'd Starts which
had been specially refer/ed to their con
(idelation, to enter as early as poffiiile up

lated to provide a revenue, “ turtle* nt
at le a ll to defray the ordinary expences
of government, and to pay the ilittrell on
the public debt, including that on new
loans wnich may be authorised.”
Any provifion failing llnrt of this re
quilttion, would,- in the opinion of the
committee, h'tray an improvidence in
thi g-ivernment, tvnihng to impair its
general charadVr, to Tip the fbu.idations
