It it proper to eseertnin, in the next place, how
much of this balance i* not immediately available
and applicable to public purposes.
The sum of $28,101,61f 97, which lias been
placed with the State* f«r safe keeping, is u
part of that balance, and cannot, by the provisions
©fact of Oct. 14, 1837,be made available till direct

Another perl is about 1,100.000, due rbirtU from
various insolvent banks, on account of the moncv
that before 1837 bad been pl aced in their custody,
to the credit of the Treasurer, and . till remains un
paid.
Another portion is near $2,400,000 00, which is
due from the banks that suspended specie pay
ments m 1837, and will probably nut be paid du
ring tht present year.
About $500,000 of the amount which has been
placed in the Mint, for the specific purposes de
signated in the law* on that subject, is another part
of ithat balance, which could not at once be made
available for other objects without much public
inconvenience.
* The aggregate of these items, not immediately
available and applicable to public purposes is,
$32,101,644 97: and if deducted from ibe fore
going balance, it would leave on the Ist of January
next, as stated in the commencement of this re

D will bo perceived by these statements, that
no surplus balance will probably exist either on
the Isi of January, 1839. or during that year, to
be deposited with the several States for safe keep,
inp. as a fourth instalment, under the Ucpositc act
of June 23. 1836. Indeed, great care will he
necessary in restricting the appropriations to the
necessary wants of tho Clovernincnl. e- the re.
ceipls will net be snflioienl lo m. ct the enrr t
•'emauds on the Treasury, unless those receipts
•h i t une? pccU'-dly exceed the present csti.
taaics.
When an unusoai excess existed inlhc Tr*
ury it was proposed to pja -e that fourth ui4u»-
mcnl will* tlso Slates for safekeeping till needed,
bill before it became payable, the money waa
wanted to discharge existing appropr lalions.—
The depoMic of »l was. therefore, postponed by
(iongrt'MH till next January, and the money baa
j M . cn ufC H by the United States, to which it be
longed, without incurring the expense snd in
convenience, to ail the parties concerned, of
paying and then immediately recalling it. The
instalment in not a debt doe to the Stale?', and
hence, is not required to he paid like an appro
priatiod for the public service. Yet the remark
may pr»| crly \/c added, that if a surplus should
heretller accrue, large enough, after defraying
all the existing charges imposed by Congress
upon the Treasury, to make-the depusito origin
ally contemplated, this department, with its pre
sent views, would feel l*oiind U» carry it into cf

further modify the laws now in farce in relation

17. Kxdonation nf the Estimates nf Receipt*
mid 1C spend it mm, and suflgestinns on the
mod* of merlin}!factual, ns in them.
Tin 1 »< <•• iptM ftoin ensiooiH iluriug the present
year, will vary hot little from the estimate nub.
milled in the last annual report. The receipts
from land will bo h »*, but the amount of sales |
made, ami pre-emption rights existing will not
differ essi;filially Iron* wbal was snficipnled,
ihough the art of Congress, as to the latter,
pa axed so late that payments for all of them
cun Id not he realized till another year, without
I causing much mconvenn noo and unnecessary
: pressure in Nome portions oj tho country.
The estimates pm ented for new appropria.
lion* and for expenditures, in 1838, were quite
as large ns the \ iewn of the dirt' rent departments,
at the time Congress assembled in December
Uhl appeared lu jiHify. D'Jl the unexpected
j cuiiiinmin e of the Floiida war, a solicitude to
i iducc Ilf ( luTokees to remove per'eahlj, and
an earnest d. «ne to suppress, with promptitude,
all threatened disturbance h on »ur northern lion
tirr, with several other measures of less impor.
tam-e originating in Congress, led that body to
( make appropriations amounting to nearly ten
iniflioiiM heyrnid those requested in the animal
esliniales. Some provision of additional means,
corresponding to (his exec ss, became, therefore,
**• •< < i nary; and in order to discharge the excess,
and guard against emitingcueies, as well as
avert the roum• epicnees of a pro'raeted suspen
fin of spec ,e payments by the banks, Congress
j wi-e|y granted the additional authority both to
sell the bonds of the United Stales Dank and to
ir'hUc rew Tieasury notes, iuslol of such as
might lie paid in before the time for their re.
demption arrived. Tho apprehension* of cm
hanassni' tit* in the finances within the, year,
which had ir en from those unexpected appro
prialiiiiDq and limn tin failure (hat then contin
ned among the bank" in inert qnarleis of the
Union In return to spec ie payments, wore remo
ved by then* opportune provihions. Occasion*,
however, have not yol arisen to require the lull
n «• of either of them.
The whole amount of Treasury notes outstan
ding ul anyone time since they were first au
thorized, iii t > tuber IH3S, lias never equalled ten
millions ofdollnrs. The nmoulnow outstanding
is onlv $7,761,5113. II sides the restrictions on
tile sale of the bonds of the United Slates Hank,
the want of power to giiannlv their eventual
payment, and the short perm I they had to run,
with tho great quantify of Hi ale slocks in the
inaikel nf a heifer character for permanent in
ves’merit,caused some temporary inconvenience,
and prevented any oiler for I hem above par, ei.
tin rat homo or abroad- The sale, however, of
one becoming expedient, it was elf e!rd within
the limitations prescribed. It bus n»i yet been
found nece *aiy to ills pose of the other. But it
is expected that when the period for redeeming
most nf the outstanding Treasury notes arrives,
it mn.d lie sold, unless other means to meet the
public engagements shall in the moan time, be
provided by t ’ongress.
If Ihe receipts from customs or land* should
exceed the estimates made tor the tnsuiug year,
which, in tin vacillations of trade, is not very
improbable, s'ill it i* not supposed (In? excess
will be so laige that all the expected charges
» on the year •mi be defrayed without a sale of
the remaining bond, or somo equivalent re
source.
The estimate «'f receipts for 1833, rest on the
following general views: An oveitlowing tide
of speculation and bank issues, like that of 1830,
m not anticipated, while tlie recent evils and
disasters from these sources are fresh in remem
brance. Nor, on the contrary, is any expecta
tion entertained of a repetition, s > soon, of (ho
mercantile involutions which characterised the
year 18.37.
Tho receipts from duties during the last year,
if the bonds had not been postponed, would have
been about $ IG.OUO.OOff. Those of the present
year, in the oi dinar}’ ope rat ion of the laws, with-
Out the postponed bonds, w ill not probably ex
feed $13,000,000.
By supposing a la g- in lease of 50 per cent.
> in 1833, beyond the on in \ y receipts of the last
year, they would amount to between nineteen
and twenty millions, nml would be larger than
the rteeijHs in 1835. Such un increase would be
greater than in any previous year of our history,
) not all'eted by commercial lestnctions, foreign
- j was, nr important changes in the laritV.
Considering that, under the present credits,
i tlie dulus actually paid wiihin any calendar
year must ho estimated chiefly on the imports
j ) from the liisi ol July preceding, to the fiisl of
July in that y< ar, and that two biennial mine..
i lions in tho tariff have occur ed since 1835, n is
) i believed that nineteen nr twenty millions is an
i estimate sufficiently high tor 1833,
Hot as the receipts of laic have depended,
j much less than formerly, when eredits were
j ; longer and almost universal, on the amount of
I bonds taken in pieviotts years, the estimates must
I be muchluorc conjectural; and in'.online coni
i m 'lions, wars in Europe or on our own hordets,
' fluctuations in empsor pri .s, and various other
j eiM.iingeucies in the enduing years, wiiieh con-
I not be foreseen nr computed, may vary the result
j several millions.
The reduced receipts both from lands an 1
‘ dmics in 1837 and 183 S, as compared with the
j two preceding years, were anticipated by the
department in I *'3s, ami a porinai: ut provision
to meet any defiieney wa* earnestly urged in
j the eonsi i ration of Congress.
Confident as were the expect a*ion* entertained
' | bv many, that the revenue ot 1837 would be so
‘ i gieal as to justify further laigc deputises with
. | the Slates, and severe as were the censures be.
stowed on those who expressed apprehension of
a different icsnlt, a sinking diminution in the
revenue actually occurred. Although any dis.
lerenco of opinion on a point of so much impor.
taneototbc public faith was deeply regretted by
the department, yet it fell constrained, at that
tune, to regard many appearances of extraordi
naiv prosperity as delusive; the existing surplus
as temporary and fallacious in its cltxiacter; ami
consequently believed that much of it w as likely
to be required in a few years to meet deficiencies
1 in the revenue, arising from the progressive re.
’ ductiou ol the tariff, and those line nations in
income and expenditures to which all Govern.
mcnls are mure or less subject, and to which our
! own system of finance is peculiarly exposed.
1 Apart from the contingencies of war, and other
1 exigencies affecting expenditure, it is impossi.
ble, under the ebb* and Mood of trade and specif
1 iations of all Hinds, which, with the present
s banking system, arc as certain though not *■•
u regular as the tides.thal a revenue dcrii m chi- tj\
ft u fbttign > rtporutiona, and the saic of land,
. hould not vib iiie with pitch changes. The
*■ I tiicreforc has discharged a duly
deemed imperative, in Urging on the attention c
of Congress, at several sessions, some permanent v
and efficient arrangement for enabling the i rea- £
►ury to meet such fluctuations without injury to t
the public credit. ... 1
On one occasion, permanent legislation in rc- >
sped to this point did lake place. that lias <
been repealed, or indefinitely postponed, by the i
act of October 12,1637: and the temporary mca- «
surc« Mibstitutcd, having nearly ceased their I
operation, llic necessity for some future provi
sioil is apparent. The form seems to be the
great question of difficulty; there being it is ap
prehended, a general concurrence of views in
favor of having some efficient provision on a
subject of such obvious importance.
The investment of a part, of the surplus in the
Treasury in State S'.oeks. in the maimer which
for several years lias been successfully practised, 1
under the acts of Congress, a<4 lo j
longing to the Indians, so as l« constitute a
provident fund to meet conliogencioa and fluc
tuations, was the mode first recommended by
tlie department. But a substitute for this plan
was preferred by Congress, which directed the ;
whole surplus to be deposited with the .'i aus ,
for safekeeping, and enabled the Secretary o.
the Treasury to recall, whenever needed for put*- j
lie purposes. In the autumn of 1837. however,
when the necessity of resorting to tins substitute
was in view, Congress postponed its opera 1 ion.
Instead of it, the power to issue Treasury notes ; ■
for a limited period was granted, and for adoi- ,
lu»n a I security against deficiencies, the dcpos.te j
of the fourth instalment will* the fcla'es was de.
ferred (ill next January, and afterwar..- thf ,

' (•enticmcn.—The stage fiom llarnslmrg tins

of the Senate on the vexed question which has
