He has therefore determined to take his stand this winterin Washington, for the purpose of receiv ing and attending to such applications, giving advice and instructions upon all points essential to sustaining and aid ing all such claims as he knows and believes to be just, aud preventing the imposition of those on the public he believes to be otherwise. For his time, trouble, and ac tual expenses, he will require a reasonable remuneration, in proportion to the claims received, aud also in proportion to the conditions of those receiving. He requires and will receive nothing from the extreme needy—par ticularly ol widows or orphans ; neither in cases de pending entirely on his own testimony. The repti ted hard-grindings of persons, calling themselves agents, on those war-worn veterans and their heirs [.whether true or false] it is wall known, have operated much to the prejudice and injury even of the best of these claims. —A general agency, therefore, founded on the above prin plos aud the most endearing brotherly allcctions that ever were formed among men, it is hoped, will have a happy redeeming influence over the merits of the survivors, and memories of the deceased of those heroes, their descend ants, and all their Just claims; and the subscriber, on this head, begs leave, in humble and thankful deference to the able aud kind endeavors of others, here to add, the happy consolation of the fact, that he has cleared up some dilli culties ami doubts that have existed among the ditlercnt branches of the State and General Governments, aud es tablished thereby several leading principles, important to those claims; as the recorded evidences ami proceedings in some of his own cases will testify.

Of the Mist i turtles of the MmitMtc Keren tie, and MlxyendUnees for the year I lie great commercial activity prevailing in the United States has contributed not only to enlarge tho revenue from ( ustmiis, for the present year, beyond tho estimates, blit will probably carry that of the next year to a still higher amount. The importations for the year ending on the :i»th of September Iasi', are estimated at $97,082,859, and tho cx|mrts at $90,372,666; of w hich $02,048,233 were domestic, and $18,324,333 foreign products. The duties which accrued during the first three quarters of the present year are estimated at $27,310,000, and those for the fourth quarter at $0,000,000. Some deduction, however, will he made from these, before they ran reach tho f reasury, on account of the reduction in the duties on roflee, tea, roeoa and salt, by the acts of the 20th and 29th May, 1830, and w hich may he estimated toalTert the duties on those articles remaining in store on the 1st of January, 1832, to (he amount of alxmt $750,000. The receipts from the public land during the present year, it will he perceived, hare likewise exceeded tho estimate*, and indeed have gone beyond all former example. It is believed that, notwithstanding tho largo amount of scrip and forfeited land stock that may still he absorbed in payment for lands, yet, If the surveys now projected be completed, tho receipts from this source of revenue, will not fall greatly below those of the present yoar. from all the information which the Department ha* been able to obtain, the rocelpt* into the Treasury, during the year 1932, may he estimated at $80,109,000 V ■ z; ( iistoms, $ 26,500,000 Public Lands, 3,000,000 Hank Dividends, 400,000 Incidental receipts, including arrears of internal duties and direet taxes, 110,000 I he expenditures for the year 1832, lor all ohjeels other than the public debt, are estimated at $13,366,202 10 Vir, j Civil, Foreign Intercourse, and Miscellaneous, 2,900,494 26 Military service, iueluding fortifications, ordnance, Indian Affairs, arming the Militia, and Internal Improvements, 6,649,009 19 Naval service, including the gradual improvement of the Navy, 3,067,618 71 hieh being deducted from the estimated receipts, will leave a balance of $16,734,797 04 An exhibition of the transection? of the Treasury will shew that this Prpnrtment ha* endeavored to carry into effect the policy indicated hy tho laws and tho view* of the President in regard to tho oarly ex tingiiishmont of tho public debt.—Upward* of Forty Million* will have been applied to that object from the 4th Mnrch, 1R2H, to tho 2d of January, 1KI2, inclusive, of which about sixteen million* and half will have boon drawn from tho Treasury during tho present year. 'I ho occasion is doomed a propitious ono to bring before tho Legislature the subject of the debt, with » view to it* redemption, at a period not only earlier than has been heretofore anticipated, but before the ter mination of the present Congress. Die entire public debt on the 2>f of January next, as has been already show n, will amount to $24,322,236 10 1 ho amount of tho receipts into the Treasury, during tly* year 1832, after satisfying all the demands of the year, other than on account of tho public debt, arc estimated us above, at 16,734,797 34 To this may bo added the balance in the Treasury on the 1st of Jan. 1832. estimated (exclusive ol the ineffective funds and the Danish indemnity) at 1,208,276 24 From this aggregate of 17,913,071 Oft After deducting the amount of the unsa tisfied appropriations already estimated at 3,423,Sift 87 There wilT remain a surplus in the vear 1332, of ' $14,519,018 21 Which, uuless Cougross should enlarge the appropriations for other objects, may he applied to the public debt. Tho interest on the debt, during the year 1332, may be estimated at 500,000 OO Leaving for tho principal in that year $11,019,513 21 Which being applied to that object, will leave the total amount of the public debt at the close of tho year 183?, $10,302,686 9T The Government, however, has other means, which if Congress see proper, may he applied towards the payment of the debt, viz: tho shares in the Dank of the United States, amounting at par to $7,000,000; hut which, as will bo pre sently explained, may be estimated at . not less than $8,000,000 OO In that ovcnfr the amount ol the debt on the 1st of Jan. 1833, would be but $2,302,686 97 Which sum, together with a fair allow ance for the cost ol purchasing at tho murket price,the stocks not redeemable in thy course of tho proposed operation, might ho supplied in the months of January and February, 1833, by Ihe application from tho revenues of that year of a sum oqunl to 2-12th of tho amount applied from the ordinary re venues to the debt in the year 1632, s*y $2,503,258 02 It may bo further observed, that should any diminution take place in the estimated revenue, or should the expendi ture exceed the estimated amount, the deficiency which either evout might produce in tlio means oi tho Treasury applicable to tbe dobt, would bo applied by tho amount in this estimate for the unsat.slid', balances of appropriations. For, although that sum constitutes a legal charge on tho Treasury, to bo mot as occasion requires, yet, in any esti mate of present means, it may be considered rather as a uominnl than a real charge. It will he thus perceived, that tho Government has tlio means, if properly employed, of reimbursing the whole of the public debt by purchase or otherwise on or before thu 3d of March, 1833. Tho moral influence which such an example would ne cessarily produce throughout the world, in removing ap prehension aud inspiring new confidence in our free insti tutions, cannot bo questioned. Seventeen years ago, our country emerged from an expensive war, encumbered, with a debt ot more than one hundred and twenty-seven millions, aud in a comparatively defenceless state, lutliis short period it has promptly repealed all tho direct and in ternal taxes which were imposed during the was-—rclyiug mainly upon revenue derived from imports and sales of tho nubJic domain. Train these sources, besides providing for the general expenditure, thu trontior has been exten sively fot tiCwd, thu naval and marilimo resources strength ened, and part of the debt of gratitude to tho survivors of the revolutionary war discharged. Wo have, luoruovur, contributed a large share to the general improvement, ad ded to the extoul of tho Union hy the purchase of the va luable Territory of Florida, aud finally acquired the meaivi of extinguishiug the heavy dobt incurred in sustaining tlio late war, and all that remains of tho debt of the revolution. The anxious hope with which tlio people have looked forward to this period, not less Ilian the present state of tho public mind, and the real interests of the community at largo, recommend the prompt application of these moans to that great object, if it can bo done consistently with a proper regard for other important con.'idcralions. Ot these means, as lias already been above shown, tho shares owned by the Government in the Hank of tlio U. States ure an indispensable part; and, that for tho reim bursement ol the debt within the period contemplated, it will be necessary to oficcta saleofthcm lor a sum not loss than eight million.! of dollars. 1 lie Stock created by the United States for their sub sc: ipticn to the Hank having been actually paid previously to tlio 1st ol July last, their interest in that institution has f ceased to be nominal merely, and the shares form a part of the fiscal resources applicable to the public demands. I he objects connected with tlio early reimbursement of the public debt are more important Ilian the interest of tho [ Government as a mere Stockholder; and it is therefore re spectfully recommended to Congress to authori/.o tho salu of those shares for a sum not less than jjsS,000,000. A sale of so large an amount in tho public market, could not be expected to produce more than the par value; mid if attempted under circuinstanr.es calculated to shako public confidence in the stability ol the institution, would, in all probability, prove wholly abortive. For these rea sons, it is deemed advisable to effect a sale to thu Hank it self;—a measure believed to he practicable on terms satisfac tory both to the United States aud that institution. ■ a mitimiumg tins proposition to (lie wudoniol Con gress, it is not intended that its adoption should be founded ' on any pledge for the renewal ol the charter of the Hank. Considering, however, tho connection of the proposition with tho Hank, and viewing tho w hole subject as a neces sary part of the plans for the improvement and manage ment of the revenue and for the support ol public credit, tho undersigned feels it bis duly to accompany it with a trank expression of his opinions. On this supposition, the first Secretary of the Treasury, In his memorable reports of January mid December, 17JMI, recommended a National Hank as “an institution of pri mary importance to the finances, and of the greatest utility in tho operations connected with the support of public cred. it,” and various communications since mado to Congress, show that tho snmn views were entertained of their du ties by others, who have succeeded him in the Department. The performance of the duties thus enjoined by law upon the Secretary of the Treasury, implies, however, no oom mitmnnt of any other Department of tho Government, each being lefi free lo act according to tho inode printed out by the Constitution. Tho act of Congress to establish the Treasury Depart ment, makes it tho duty ol tho Secretary of the Treasury, to digest and prepare plans for the support of public crodit, and for tho improvement and management of the revenue. The duties enjoined, as woll by this net a.s by the subse quent one of tho 10th of May, 1800, requiring tho Socre tanry "lo digest, prepare, and lay before Congress, at tho , commencement of every Session, a report on tho subject of finance, containing estimates of tho public revenue ami i public expenditures, and plans for improving or increasing I the revenues, from time to time, fertile purpose of giving [information to Congress, in adopting modes of raising money requisite to meet the public expenditure,” have heensup posed to include, not merely the. application of the re sources of the Government, but the whole subject of the currency, and the means of preserving its soundness. The important chargo confided to the Treasury Depart ment. and on which the opera lion* of the Government es sentially depend, in the improvement and management of the revenue, and the support of public credit, and of trans ferring the publir funds to all parts of tho United States, imperiously requires from the Government all the farilities whirh it may constitutionally provide for those objects, and especially for regulating and preserving a sound cur rency. As rarlv *j May. 1781, the Congress of the United States, convened under the articles of confederation, ap proved the plan of a National Hunk, submitted to their consideration by Mr. Morris, then superintendent of the finances; and, on the 81st December, of the same year, “from a eonviction of the support which the finances of the United States would receive from the establishment of « National Hank,” passed an ordinnnee incorporating auch an institution, under the name and style of“the President, Directors and C ompany of the Hank of North America. The aid aflorded by that institution was acknowledged to
