It is a view of those severalconsiJcnaions, which hascreatcd an apprehension, mat loans to such large.atAint might not perhaps be obtained on t.s fi vorae terms as under other circumsunccs and with the powerful assistance of a national bank, had been " formerly anticipated ' . The same view of the snb- j?ct has' most forcibly impressed a conviction of th4 necessity of an addiuomd revenue. For if further loins be also resorted to for defraying the ordinary , expences and the interest, they must, if at all pracr ticablo, be obtrjned on the most ruinous termsi !uihng that idea, and embracing only the loans Wiiich are absolutely necessiiry, it appears to me more prudent not to limit the rate of interest by law. A descretionary power in that respect is, no far as relates to the executive, altogether ineligible j but is preferable to the risk of leaving the public service unprovided for. . It is also for the same rea son, rcjuKte that the tows may be, made irre deemable for a term not less than ten years. ;' -t I.i a former communication to the committee of Ways and means, it was suggested that treasury notes," bearing interest, might to certain extent, be issued, tin J tc that extent diminish the amount to be directly borrowed. ' :The advantage Ihey would have would result from their becoming'a part; of the circulating medium, and taking, to a certain dAr rree. the place of bank notes, - It is evident bow ver. that for the sunus reason" the issue muBt he modente and never exceed the amount which may a capital often millions, never ; amounted to seven millions i.i the whole. . In proportion to the amount; warned for the service of the yearj and to the itv' crease of stock of the public dcM ft , market, the -terras must naturally become less favorable. , It must also be recollects::, mat m addition to the sum a m emhefeltat tlian t'nm tmkiiniftd ni. wanted to defray the extraordinary expenccs of theini,,.0-.srf.e milhbns.aB;,abova traxeA.-and .which Awar, an annual loan equal to the annual' rcrnburse-vin be Marly.
