And, first, I wfl* say a word or two on the question whether or not an unfonhded or erroneous impression is communicated to the People by that document. In this point of view I notice what the President says in me liotiww represents it as '.ho great distinctive prmciplc~the grand difference in the characters of our pnblic men—that with one class of them it hssb«m the constant objcct to create and maintain a public debt and with another, to prevent Snd

And now to proceed to the actual state of the finances. The Messago. though it does not call the obligations of the Government a national debt, but, on the contrary, spwiks in the strongest terms against $0 national •debt, yet admits that there aro Treasury notes outstanding, and bearing interest, to the amount of tour and a half millions and I eee, connected with this, other important and loading truths, very n«c#ssnry to be considered by those who would look out beforehand that they nny provide for futare revenue.

Of these, the first in importance is, that the expenditures »f the Government during the term of the presMit Administration have greatly exceeded its income. I aha 11 not now argue the question whether these expenditures have been reasonable or unreasonable, neceesary or unnecessary. I am looking at the fjjets in n-

ditures have ueen reasoiiaoie or unrwwnamn,

I find, further, from the cointnnici* tions of the Secretary of the Treasury now sumnitted to tho Senate, that, of the slock of the I 'lined States in the Bank of the United States for which bonds had been given to the Treasury by the Bank of the United States of Pennsylvania, fc-hich bonds are now paid, there have been received eight millions. Now, sir. these sre all iu'ins of a pre-cxis»ine fund, soineof which have accru* tl since Janiiarv. 1837.

To these I may edd the outstanding Treasury notes running on interest, (four and a half millions and the vhole forms an eu grcgate of twenty seven antra hall millions of dollars of surplus, in addition to the revenue, which have been expended in three and a halt or four years—excepting, of room*, what wny remain in the Treasury at the end of that term. Here, then .has the Government been expending monev at the rate ,*ot nearly eight millions per annum beyond its.income.

As a matter of account and book-keeping thm might be thought correct, or it might not but Mr. \v. »ta he tho«fiht it would have been better to keep a separate account for funds thus held io trust, se every pnvate individual does, who is made trustee for tbe intef*«« ot others- If the feets were as be had gathered from the report subuuited to Congress, there were three or four hundred '.housnnd dollars of the tin* fund not invested, end which remain yet to be invested tor the ben tn oftheee Indian tribes.

chooses

to invest tne

matter, the sum and substance is this: that there muM be a new issu^' ^fl$jury notes before the Government can be freed T||psnient.

I must confess lbs. seems to me that the scope and tendency of the remark* in the Message do go to produce ao erroneous impression. Here area series of ve-i ry strone sentiments against a public debt—against 6eginning a public debt—and all said in face of adebt al^ ready begvn-r-existing -now, and under such circum stances aacteate dtq&ir that it will turn out to be very large one- We know that these various outstan ding charges cannot, of «t leest will not, be brought together and presented in one aggregate sum for some months to come. It is intended by this-document to forest a 1 public opinion, so as, when it shall appear that there is a public debt, to piv»to it a date poSMTior to the 4th of March next! I hope not. I do*not impute such a design. So far, however, as I am concerned, I shall take special good care to prevent any such result, iihsll certainly recommend that there be anew set of books opened that there be what merchants call "a rest." That what is collected prior to 1841, and what ia expended prior to 1841, stand against cach other: so that, if there shall appear a balance in fa^r of this Administration, it may be stated and if the result BIIUII be that the Administration is left in debt, let that debt appear, and let it be deupmina'.od "the debt of 1841," which it will be the duty of Congress to provide for.

In one or two oth^r respects the Message is calculated to create quite on erroneous impression. In the 5th page the President speaks on the subject of the Treasury notes in as mitigated a tone as possible, and tells us, first, that "this wtiall amount still outstanding" is ''composed of such as are not yet duo." I suppose we all knew that and then he adds that they are "lefes hy twenty-three millions than the United States have on deposite with the States." I ask the Senate, and I would, if I could, ask the President, whether he means to recommend to

to withdraw the depositee

now in the hands of the States to discharge this debt on Treasury notes? Do the Administration look to these deposrtes as a Fund out of which to discharge

any

of the

recommendation of

sucn a measure. Why, then, were these two things cohnecte^f There is nothing in the fact that the amount of Treasury notes is less by twenty-three millions than the amount deposited with the

State*,

unless

ha means to recommend that the latter sum shall be looked to as a means of discharging the former. Does he mean to inform Congress that twenty-three are less than twenty-eightf If not, why are the two thus placed in juxtaposition? The Sacretary of tho Treasury treats the matter in much the same way. He speaks of the depositee with the States as of funds in the! reasury- Look at his report. In stating the resources of the Treasury, he mentions the 28 millions on deposite with the States. What can bo the purpose of such a statement? When a Secretary of the Treasury presents to the world a statement of the means of his Department, it is universally supposed that his statement is confined id what either exists in the Treasury, or is likely to accrue under the operation of existing 'aw|8. But this deposite with the States is no more under the control of the Treasury than

any other

ry or unnecessary. I am looking at the fgpts in a fi- That Congresecart do, and so it can augment the rmtj 11 uncial view ourclv—end I say that our experience of of dnties but till it does, those depositee are no more

K.-n the reports of our ^.1llofficcrre^',1n^"L'e®

of nn clearly intimates that we must rewrt to a

uncertainty which attended the mode ol ellecuue this Treasury notes, yet the result of all is. th^at onRress result, the Secretary, in his calculations, wishing to be, wish to avoid the necessity either o^increasmg the clu

ties,

or of issuing nsw Treasury notes, he has a resource ready for them, viz. to reduce their appropriations below even his own estimates. This is mucn like what he told us last year: ahd yet when we did reduce our appropiations within even his cstimatet' the Treasury is in want of money.

One other remark is suggested by what the President 1 ssys to us on the dth page of his Message- He tells us that it is possible to avoid the "creation of a permanent debt by the General Government," and then goes on to observe, "But, to accomplish so desirable an object, two things are indispensable: first, that the action ot the

Federal Government

be kept within the bounds

its founders." Now, I did suppose that

this duty of Keeping the action of the federal Government within tho bounds of the Constitution was absolute that it was not affectcd by times, circumstanws, or condition, but

was

always peremptory and manda

tory. What is the inference to be drawn from tne President's language? If the Treasury is empty, you must keep within the Constitution: and what it it is full! Are you to break its bounds! To transcend the Constitution? I had always thought we should neither be tempted to this by sn overflowing Treasury, nor deterred by an empty one from taking sucn a course as the exigencies of the country might reqwre.

I know not what will have to be done to meet the deficiency of the next quarter- I suppose his recommetidation to issue Treasury notes will be followed. I should, myself, have greatly preferred a tax on French wioes sod silks. I* is obvious that if this or something like it is not done, the time approaches, and is not far off. when provisions will have to be made by anoth-

I think it leads to what may render an fcxtra Session necessary-aresu It I pw»rfy***! manv accounts, especially on account of t^s ^at p«nditure with which it will unavoidably be attended.

Mr- Test, from the same committee, reported against «T»eLej^aUiregranting divorces. The report expressed the belief that, like all other contract?, ibe Legislature had no constitutional right to interfere with the marriage contract, but that such abould be referred to our courts, whoae powers in tbat matter, were ample.
