A reduction of forty-two mill ions in1 the5 public debt in the three months past, with the nay- mem 01 cxtravaganiiy large gov ernment expenses, causes gener al surmise.

The high-tax or State credit Democrats have been suggesting to those of low-tax notions, all along," the probability of an alliance with the Republi can party to carry their points if tilings don't go to suit them in the Democratic Convention.

Hut 'the' poor low-tax fel lows, had to stick to. harmony aud the party, or go oft' and flock by; themselves. Not quite! so now. The Greenback platform is as good as the low-tax "men want. So that whenever one of their brothers with strong State credit views makes 'the threat that he and his sort will desert the Party" and vote with thc 'Re publicans unless his exact kind cf a man be' nominated for Gov ernor, they can re "ply" that they will vote for the Greenback nom inee unless they are suited in the work of the Democratic Conven tion.

THE STATE DEBT QUES - : TION. ' r Words of Truth and Soberness from an Old Public Servant An Im portant Letter from Hon. George W. Jones, of Lincoln. - To the American.

My ''name i3 -being canvassed in. connection with UiQ candidacy for the office of Gov ernor of the State in the public iress I have been -written - to and I have been spoken to per sonally by kind friends, asking me to become a candidate for hat high and honorable, office... : I trust-it will not be regarded as .indelicate in me, mider,.,thc circumstances, to answer all in quiries 011 the subject and define my position on the -lionded State, debt, its adj ustnierit and '' scttlc- Fii:stiT:wiiraY that;'ia the pastel have served the public long and faithfully and" consci entiously in various public trusts.

' T have no desire to return to public life. I have no .aspirations nor ambi tion for office ungratified. Grate ful for the many favors and hon ors I have received aVthe hands of the-people, I now declare, in this - public mariner, that 'I' Svill not be a candidate, rior accept a nomination for any pffice in the State of Tennessee nor jn the sei vice of the United States. ..: t " At the risk of . incurring ' the censure of some whose good o pinions I appreciate -arid esteem,' 1 will give ray former course with regard to : the creation of the State debt, and my views touch ing its settlement. ; As- a mem ber of thc llouse of lvepresenta tives, 1837-38, 1 opposed the is sue of two millions five hundred thousand dollars' State bonds, to be sold for the purpose of rais ing capital for the Bank of Ten nessee. . " ; 1 In .1839-10, 1 was a member of the Senate, the Bank cf Ten nessee had been organized, the bonds had been issued by the Governor and delivered to the bank; the President of that in stitution reported to the Legis lature that one million of dollars of the bonds had been sold, and that the remaining one million five hundred thousand dollars re-" maincd in the bank undisposed of. I wrote and introduced into tlie Senate a bill directing ! the return of the unsold bonds to th.i oflice of thc Secretary of State, and the Governor cancel and de stroy them! The bill became a law, and under its previsions one million five hundred thousand dollars of tlie State debt was cut off and all of the accruing inter est fiorii that to 'the present time. 1 ;At that session of 1839-40, Gov. James K; 1 Polk - recom mended to the Legislature the is sue of Stato: bonds in - sterling, that ; is. British 1 currency, and that they ' be !made payable in London, ; : upon: : the . supposed ground . that it would enhance their value and make them more saleable. This: recommendation of my personal and political friend I opposed, and - with oth ers.;, defeatedI To,thei creation ofa.Statq debt ,-by tho issue, of bond's!,! have ever been uniform ly and consistently opposed, iii)- on.Dotn principle ana pouc3r. When the foundation of the,Ca- ltoi had been laid and. was ready for , tho . superstructure, I ' was walking over it with a Senator elect a few, davrs' before the meet ing of the Legislature, when, we met one 01 tne commissioners -in charge of . the work, who - said the commissioners would ask the Legislature to authorize the issue and sale of State bonds, to enable them to go on with the work. ; I remarked to him that if I was a member of the Legislature would not vote to issue a State! bond if they never put another stono upon that foundation. , lie replied perhaps it ., was fortunate that I was not a member. . I re marked that "might, be, but if-1 was a member 1 would call upon the commissioners to submit their estimate of the amount of money they would require for the next two years. If I thought the, csr timate reasonable, I would vote for taxes accordingly, and let the next Legislature follow the ex ample, levy taxes, and pay for building as the work progressed; that the people of the State were as able to pay for the building then as they would be in any fu ture time. . I- think I yas right. Let the State , pay as she goes, and when the building - was ; fin ished it would . belong to : thc State", and owe nothing for it. I have been ever, uncompro misingly, opposed to all issue of State bonds, to aid companies to build cither turnpiko roads or railroads . as impolitic and un just to the taxpayers. As' to my present views and what, is the best policy", with relation to the State, debt I . .will .be brief U Ii ve taken no iart in the con- tests between the low tax an tidebt payers "and "the high tax State credit advocates. With discretion and common sense T thilik it possible that these seem ingly irreconcilable parties may meet upon a common platform and harmonize all" their difficul ties. I assume that the high tax men do not desireia: higher tax than is required to. meet the cur rent expenses of the State Gov ernment and raeel its legitimate obligations, t '-I take? it for grant ed that the low tax men are will ing to, support a sufficient tax to defray the current expenses of the fctatc and to pay oil and liq uidate thc legal debt of the State. - The high tax, State credit men do not expect to' pay off or' set tle 'the debt upon' the basis of the entire debt of 'odehundrcd cents to the dollar'? 'The bondholders, tlic creditoi-s of !thevSfte do riot expect or -hope for so much. The low tax, anti-State ' t-redit men cannot ' defeat thc settlement of (ho 'debt question "at ; some' time or-other,-and upon somei basis acceptable to those holding ; thc State bonds. They may defeat any scttleincnt this' 3 ear and by the next' Legislature,' and possi- blv the next: arid . on for a irene- ratiori.f - But it Svill riot bd dead, it Will th e until Settled. -1 heard ono of the iriost 'proriiirient of the 1 w tax party say in a speech, if I mistake not,; that he was will ing to 'settle the State debt'on the basis of thirty-three 'and. -one- third-' cents. on'3 the, dollar; if the people were for settling at Tifty cents on the dollar1, or at sovcrity- five cents on' the dollar, or one hundred 'cents ; on the dollar, he would help them; pay it. It does seem to' me that this vexed question of the 'State debt can be 'settled and the low tax men and the hijjrh tax men uni ted and harmonized without the sacrifice of any principle by ci ther side. They are all demo crats, or at least protess to be a . ; e -rv J . caminai pnncqjio oi ajcihoc racy is that the' majority shal i-ulcJ r At the time : this debt, or rather these debts, were being created to establish the Bank' of Tennessee, the Union Bank; to build the Capitol, ' to pay for the IIermitare, and to aid m" the bon- struction of turnpikes and rail roads, a vast majority of thc peo ple of the State, approved or ac quiesced without complaining m the policy and action of the Leg islature in the creation of these debts. ' Sortie who are how class ed aslowytax men,AveFe warm ad- vocates of the )clicy.' I aiid a fe w others, very few, were opposed to the policy from 'the beginning. Democrats and Whigs vied with each other in their zeal and ad vocacy of State aid to State in ternal improvements. Now for the sake of peace and harmony and thc best interest of the whole people of the State let the Legis lature, when it meets in January next, through an appropriate committee, have a full and free conference '.'and'' interchange of views, with the State creditors, the 'bondholders of the State, through, "their1 committee,' attor ney s or such agents asr they (the bondholders) may' authorize to act for arid 'represent them.'' ' Let them- agree 'upon : thc terms ; of' adjustment and settlement the best that can be obtained, report such agreement' to the Legisla ture. The Legislature should ratify such agreement and settle ment by appropriate legislation, guaranteeing the payment of the annually accruing ; interest, and finally the amount of the princi pal agi-eed upon, by a tax if nec essary pledged1 for those pnrpH ses', brby making the interest re ceivable iii ' the payment of all taxes to the State. ; .': In that way ' or some other means by which this question can be adjusted and : its settlement effected so as to take it put of the current political discussions and the-, ott recurring 1 elec tions, can ' peace, harmony, fra ternal feelings and prosperity be secured to the. State and thc peo ple of the State. " V ' . Respctly., Geo." W. Jones. Harkins' Academy. Closing Exercises-Interest Mani-fested-Plenty of "Grub," Etc. Ed.
