tho 'states which were not in debt,

indebted for small comparative sums.

And such an assumption, now, would be

unequal nnd unjust. Hut if the state debts can he assumed, and at the same time

comDensation can bo made to the states

not in debt, or indebted comparatively less

than others, the assumption would not Do

unequal nor unjust, on tho contrary would bo equal and just.

It is proposed then, that the government shall create a national debt by an issue of

stock for the necessary amount, and pledge

the nroceeds of tho public lands for the

novninnt rV l l intomt find IOT US Win

liquidation; that this stock shall ho distri

bitted amongst the states in proporuou 1

their federal numbers and to the dcM c Pennsylvania, and that this stock who

tUni (bstribntfxl shall be applied first to tl

liouid.rttion of the debts of the states, ana

the balance to such purposes each state may determine. In this proposition there is tho required jus! proportion. The states not indebted, cannot complain, because thev each will have a fair equivalent a consideration. It is sufficient, because tho proportion proposed, the federal numbers under the late census and debt of Pennsylvania, will give to each statu on amount sufficient to pay its debt. It will be apparent on little reflection that the following advantages will bo so-1

cored.

1st. The rate of interest on a national

stock will ho les3 than on a slate stock. If the average rate of interest on state stocks is six per cent, national stocks will not cost nioro than four or four and a half per cent. If tho state rtocks now cost twelve million each year, tho same amount assumed by tho nation would not cost more than nine million'. A national debt of two hundred and sixty-six millions will not cost annually as much as two hun

dred millions of state debts. 1 he diherenceof expense in interest and contingen

cies is so great, that a notional debt suffi

cient to carry into effect the proposed a

sumption, will not in a series ot years cost thm iteoole much if anv more than tha

I shall now attempt to stato the mole of application, the sufficiency, and the advan

tages of an assumption ot the stato debts

The question is whole country for the defence of its. in- not, shall the states, being free from debt, terests and its honor against foreign, ag- create a debt? But the question is, shall

And there are many other advantages

It seems to me that tho expediency and the necessity of an assumption is most evident. There is one other question, the emstitut:onal power of the union to as

sume t'.ie stato debts. I shall not attempt to arsrue it, but I will submit one remark.

I consider the power of the union to assume the state debts,novv, precisely as clear as its power to assume the old state debts,

or to incorporate a national bank, or to de

posit tho surplus revenue, or to distribute the proceeds of tho public lands, or to pur

chase Louisiana. I believe that the pow

er of the government to purchase Louis

iana was sustained on tho ground that it was mado bv treaty. Perhaps the adjust

ment of state debts to foreigners, would

form a tit, or might become a necessary

subject of some treaty. And then doubt

less, it would be constitutional enough, for the most tender sort of conscience. SAMUEL JUDAIT. For the Vincennes Gazette. Answer to U'a. Enigma of last week. James's Chivalry and the Crusades. B.
