ter of infinite mbment. What shall be
tfohe with this vast sum of money ? This <
is lhe question.
The first purpose Io which it is to be
applied, doubtless, is to pay tlie public
debt. But vyfiat i% the public debt? to
whom is it dug'7 How much ought, in
justice and* equity, lo be paid to each of
our supposed creditors? These hre the
grave subjects of consideration for the
people and the Legislature. The debt
has-been scaled, as it is stoiJ, and some
think this fixes the ambunt to be paid.—
I do not agree to this inference.
This process of scaling or classifying
the public debt, was adopted as a mere
matter of convenience. It is founded on
no principle, nor is it recommended by
justice. The nature of the public debt
of Texas is such, that no general system
can be devised which will not operate un-
equally in a great variety of senses.—
Sometimees the Government, and some-
times individuals, will be the sufferers.
Let us recur for a moment to the origin
and nature of our public debt. It origin-
ated in the necessities of our revolution.
When this began; in the latter part of
1835, the people were poor~they had
no treasury, no nioney, no credit, no na-
tional existence. *| They had nothing but
