'The ngents who contract debts, should not be released from the responsibility of providing nicans for their payment, | If the present state debts should be assumed by the central government, it would only produce a second edition of the profligate legisla~ tion which has brought bankruptey and dishonor un several of the states of the unicn; slates £0, which, from their position, their soil, and the in- dystfy and patriotism of their people, are in pos- session of every element necessary to make a cominunity prosperous and happy,-excepi n ma- jority of law makers who can lay aside private interests and local scheoies and act tor the gener- al good of the whole people. Instead of being re- lieved by the proposed assumption of the debts, the direct effect would be, by a renewell tourse or extravagant legislation, to double the burthens of the people, The improvident legistation which has bonowed 100 millions within the last ten years to be lonned to stock operators ind expen- ded on unproductive works, would, if released from providing funds (for the payment of this debt, double the amount within the next ten years, under an expectation that the burthen would be taken from their shoulders by the general govern- ment. All eyes, except those which ore accustomed to look to their own industry asd the fruits of the enrth for subsistence, are now turned to the extra session of congress, in the hope that the credit of the national government may be interposed, to grive life and vitality und new vigor, to the nass of indebreduess which bus been accumulated by the combined actiun of indiviauais, corporations and states, 'The general government is comparatively free from debt, and its credit, not having been used to ite injury, is bright and strong. | But. is it strong enough to raise up and to uphold a mass of debt, which has already weighed down the credit of in- dividuals, of corporations, and gf all the most pow- eriul and wealthy states of the confederacy ? ~~~ ~ [NO.
