Of the Public Dill. Be: i* f. not ?xpretod that any meajifiesidou of the revenue hus wilt be- operative to supply the immediate wonts of the Troa?ttTv, and to pay the debts which fail <i ?>? in t:. pre*' ?nd in tie.- ensuing year. A further l<>i:i ary t" effect tri?*?, objects, and the only questions that cats anse, are. as to the modo of procuring the loan, the character of the securities ?.nd the o--urr.<-d duration of the debt. It would, in tho opinion of the under-itrned. be rnwisc ;?? charpre upon the commerce or the resources of the country, in an'v form, the burden of paying a: once, or at at die national debt. Before that is d<-ne. measures of restoration and relief are required. The currency of the country should ?sc ros.ored, and commerce and ii.du?try relieved from their present state of erobnrrusstnentand depression, :ir..i a benign and liberal policy.on the port of the Genera] Government nhould call forth once m?re the hardy industry and ctive enterprise ?f our people and the vast resources of cur cou . try. "if we ??surne the period of from five to eight years - that in which this debt can tV> paid without inconvenienci and embarrassment, awl the time njipe.-.r- to be -:...>- . no tgh, we have one of the most essential elements on which to foi m our judgment as to tho Lost and most convenient mode i.i which the loan can be kep: up, and tho credit of the government sustained. Jn the inception and during the prKjrt-e,.:ve it" reuse ?f a national debt, tho is-ue? of Treasury noti =. though dangei ous and delusive, have yet their advantages. They need w f Le issued faster than the actual wants of the Treasury r. and a power to issue any given sum. ;s, for ?II effective pui posen of immediate expenditure, a fund in the Trcas availnhle to that amount But, when th* debt ha? acquired its maximum and coaxes to accumulate, or. when :t becon ? - larger than the amount necessary to be kepi on hand to meet tlo? current want* of the Treasury, these advantages disap? pear. Thi? mrxle of loan then becomes to the Government, what the ?a!c in market "f new promissory notes f.,r die pur jMite of raising money to take op old promissory notes, is t.. an individual. It is the issue of Treasury notes to take up oth"i- Treasury note*year after year in succession, ?:.d, those circumstances it is inconvenient and expensive. But the raising of money by the issue of Treasury notes is objectionable bccuii-e it is deceptive. By ti:i> means a hea? vy debt may be raised and fastened permanently upon the country, the amount of new issues being involved with the payment of the old, while the people, ami even those who administer the finances, may not be impressed with the im? portant fuct, that a national debt is .-rented or in the process nf creadon. Therefore, in the opinion of the undersigned, when a na? tional debt decs exist, and must continue foi - tiu c, it is better that it should !.?? made a fundid debt, ri?-?;?u .1:::^ to .. .t ancient tiuancinl u-nc". It i- tin n -bejiored by .-. r::..l ! tin-subject of no delusion. It is open, palpable, true. The eyes of the country will be upon it, and will be able to mark at a glance its reduction or its increase. An.!, it ij believed, tliat a loan for the requisite amount, having eight years to run, hut redeemable at the will of th" Government on six month's notice could bo negotiated at a much !??-- rate of in tcre-t thuu Treasury note-. Much expen<i- would. :'Ui\ be s-nwd in dispensing with tbe machinery of the issue and pay? ment and cancelling of Treasury notes. It is, therefore, respectfully recommended rlmt n sum suf? ficient to pny the del t at present existing, and such us will necessarily accrue in ibis and the ensuing year, be raised "n lour., for the time, and on 'be condition above gu 'gested. On Keeping and Disbursing the Public Moneys. The undersigned would, also, respectfully invite die atten? tion of Congress to tin? mode of keeping and disbursing the public moneys, am! also to the subject tu the creation or em? ployment of a fiscal agent, to bo charged with tbe perform unco of these and othei duties. The subjei i is ono of great importance, both to the govern men: nn?l to the community. Such agent or depository ought to unite in the highest practicable degree the safety of the public fund- and convenience and economy in their a.lminis tratioe, and i: should if possible be so selected or framed as to e\<ut a salutary influence over the business and curren :y of the count ry. The mode of keeping and disbursing the public money, pro? vided by the act of July 4th, 1840, will be found on compari? son with that heretofore chiefly used by the Government, emi? nently deficient in all these csscndul requisites. The finan? cial history of the United State- especially for the last twelve rears) furnish*? abusdatit proof that th-- public money i- un sufe in the custody of individuals, and thai their official bonds t?re ko; su"icii :i'. secarit;. for it- safe keeping an ! faidiful ap? plication. Within die period above named many receiving officers connected with the Treasury Department have be? come defaulters to the Government. Tbc aggregate loss from that cause, within that |<orio>!, as shown by the books of the I epurunout, amounts to *-??'-"."'Oil. l.ui usumll pnn ofwliich will, probably be recovered from their bonds. It is true, that il anj system which can be adopti d some part of the public money must in the process "! collection |iass through the iinnd- of indi-idu.il?. and b? subjc :t to their defalcations,but the act of July 4th, 1340, extends and continue- the ri-k be? yond the period of collection, and it subjects large masses, which >v die fluctuations of commerce, sometimes accumu? late (e the sane- dangerous custody. Not only is the public money in the hands of individuals more exposed to loss from ordinary defalcations than when deposited in a well ret dated Bankf but the Government is id..', liable to risks of fire, robbery and other casualties, oc? curring either in deposit or transmission, from which it is entirely protected when a wi 11-rvgulatcd Bank is die deposi? tory and the fiscal agent. The present system i- also ;ti many respects custibrous aud iivconventent. Its tendency i- to e nter the disbursements of tbe public moneys at some of die Eastern cities, chiefly at New-York. Tka: being the great commercial emporium of v die United Stute?, is the po'.nt at which funds are the tnsst \-uluable and therefore the most sought?henc ? those who arc entitled topayments out of tho publii treasury claim them there. It i< true, there is i general discretion in die head of the Department to refuse o; grant the favoi of such payments according to its convenience; but ivheu the currency is d - ranged and the premium on excliangw is high, this discre? tion involve- discrimination to a large amount aiKong credi? tors equally entided. It then becomes a dangeious discre? tion, and one that ought not t" . \.-t. But, under the pre sent system it cannot be av oidod, save in a few ascs, without discharging every public liability at die most favored point. This would at once center all die disbursements a few i ( the Kastern oitics, arid involve die Treasury in :ii ? ri--. and expense of transporting the public funds frost die various points of collection :>> the places of lisbursemci An item of less importance, but -till wordiv of con?idi ra? tion, in settling on a permanent and co lomicel arrange tui is the direct expense of the present system, including ::.. cost of die build.n. - for the depositc of the public ..'..v..-v. and the salaries of the officers and theii clerks, who re< - tv and disburse it. Ko portion of this risk, inconvenience - t vqsvnse, need to be incurred w hen a w. il rcguiatod Bank is m?de th- riicul agent But die present system is also, in the opinion of the under signed, injutious so the business und currency of the country. In-ts-uJ of |vennittitig the credit und the finances of tic Go\> crnment to lend their indirect but efficiont aid in sustaia ..^ die credit and reculating the currency of the couutry, it brihgs into direct hosuHty dwso imp i lant interests, la the pcogn^s of die system a sufficient craount of g t'd and *il\ to -apply tl?e wants of die Treasury must be withdrawn f: m cirCldatWO and locked >.j> W vault-, leaving no ropicscn ative tu supply its place in the reneraicir.'iiliition. A i irgeamount sdsoinlhe bunds of those who pay to or rjceive from th ? Treasury is equally withdrawn from general circulation, and made tii flow through fhosw channels alone '.sfi. li leaal into and out of the public coflers.

T: his pt*v?d to that th> active business of the couatrj, it-- tiiirer.cy, its credit, its in? dustry, ar.d its commerce, are -.ornately connected with and lependent upon the financial arrangcmests of the General Government. If they be wise and beneficent, they indirectly hut offjejontly promote those great interests of .he people : i: ??n;!?taai and uniform in their a rtion, they give to th ?se inter c-t- confidence and stability. Since the removal of the pnbh'c deposites from the Bonk of the United State? in 1833, the Government has had no permanent fiscal agent, and so definite financial system. All has been experiment, transfer and change. The business ?: the country ha- yielded to the unsteady impulse and moved forward with wild irregularity: at one time, stimulate! to excessive action; at another, sunk into lethargy: And in providing for tire want* tf the Treasury, it is surely impor? tant to look :dsH to the wants and the welfare of the commu? nity from tit?products of whose . idustry :hc Treasury is sup? plied. And a* regards those great interests, we find the testimony of past vcars is no less distinct oad sttot.g .n favor of a mon? eyed Institut: m, char|prcd by ::.e Get era) ivernment, and possessed if its confidence and credit. J r.-: p--.-i.si. .-mhinr ing liie la?t ten years of the existence o: the late Bank of the United States as the fiscal agent, bj fresh the memory of us all, and is looked back to as i period1 of great public pros, periry: and. though other causes did doubtless coops/rate to produce that favorable condition of things, yet one of the govern::ir: principles on which depended the steady advance of the country: in commerce, in Industry and in substantial wealth, was the existence rrf a fiscal agent established by the General Government, and charged with the equalization of exchanges and the regulation of the currency. in the present condition of our country, the relief to be anticipated from suck an institution, camvst be immediate, but rmist be the work of time; the business gf the country '? would, however, in th" opinion >.f the jmier-i.-n-d. steadily and certainly revive under it* influence. In whatever point of light the undersigned i- aide to view tii:- subject, lie is irresistibly led to the conclusion, that -neh fiscal agent so framed n- to possess those-important func? tions, ns alike essential to the wants of the Treasury and of the community. Such nn institution should be framed with deliberation, for it must have high duties to perform, and extensive interests to protect and promote: am! it -h wild be granted with cant for it will be liable to great and da:: ferous abuses. As the fiscal agent of the-government, ami effective regulator of n currency in a wide-spread community, it should be steady a;:d uccfbrm in its acti-Mi. and ti.vd .:;.<: stabie in its character. rhe undersigned'has no doubt of the power of Congress 10 create such an institution. Experience has proved its . ecssity to curry out other cxpre-sly granted power?ii !. been exercised and recognized by the Legislative and Lv cutivc Departments of the gavcrnmvnt during four-fifths, of tho whole period of our national existence, and it has re? ceived the uniform sanction of our highest judicial tribunal. Yet that power has |.n questioned by many wise and pa triotic statesmen, whose opinions arc entitled to considera? tion and respect; and in a measure like this, of high pvliticul import, which, if wisely eenc--iieil, and cordially iw.::- ' i in, rntist Lave a irreal and enduring influence on the pros? perity of the country, it i< important, as far as possible, to obviate objections and reconcile opinion. If such an institution can be so c inceived in prim ip] . . guarJed in its details as to remove all scruples touching the. question of constitutional power, and Cr.ua avoid the objec 't lions w hich have been urged against those heretofore created by Congress, it will, in the opini in of the und Tsighi ?!. pr< - i ducc the happiest results, and confer lasting and. important l benefits on the country.
