Public Credit.
We believe that the only State which be* virtually repn
dialed its debts is Maryland, and this was done by ihe ne
elect of a Whig Legislature to supply the means of meeting
the public engagements- Thu*, after setting the example of
private repudiation by pawing * bankrupt Inw. which panned
a spume over all individual debts, a Whig legislature has
alio exhibited the fir* pattern of virtual public repudiation.

When the People’s Constitution wa* adopted by theciti-
lens of Rhode Island, the Algerine papers in that S'ate and
,w echo in this, the Bo«ton Atlas, had a great deal to say
about illrgal voting, and yet they could never produce an
ins! tore where votes were knowingly received contrary to
the pr-visions of that Constitution It appears bv some de.
