general puTpuses. by distiibution to the States, can
you not dispose of it, for the special purpose of
paying State Debts. Is not distribution in fiict an
entering wedge and a beginning towards paying
the State debts, when the main argument for so dis-

of assuming the State debts, revolts the public mind,

or distribution? And, sir, it you can collect Fede
