mode which will commend itself by its

still it is believed that one can be agreed
upon that will give general satisfaction.—
The plan prescribed by the Act of March
20th. 1S4S, for the ascertainment of the
amount and the classification of our liabil-
ities, is probably the best that could ha\e
been devised; and the mode ot scaling
those liabilities to to their actual the opinion thatjie
value at the period at which they
incurred, cannot, m*my judgment, be ob-
noxious to the slightest imputation of un-
fairness or injustice. For a State just
emerging from the varied troubles aud
difficulties of a protracted revolutionary
struggle, and involved in an immense am-
- onnt of pecuniary obligation, to assume in
good faith the payment of every dollar the
value of which she received, or;that was ex-
pended for her benefit, is placing herself
in a moral attitude upon which her c"*iJ

The idea which seems to be cntertaine
tained.—The Federal Government surely
does not intend to assume the right of de
termining the rule which is to govern Tex
as in settling with iie-r creditors for liabili
ties incurred whilst she possessed a nation

acknowledgement of the extent and valid
