SURPLUS REVENUE.
A Report has beeu made from the Com
mittee of twenty six, by its temporary
Chairman Mr. (! rah am, as to the best
mode of investing our portion of the sur
plus Revenue, which is characterized by
the ability that marks all the efforts of its
distinguished author. We had hoped lo
find room for it in, this paper, but owing to
the space occupied hy Col. Mc vxinukr's
Speech, we are compelled to defer its pub
Iicuiioii until our next. We subjoin how
ever, a brief synopsis of us con ten l :
The Report commences with ihe remark,
that the Duposite Act tle laies, in milisluuce
that the funds distributee' under il shall lie
hy way of loan, and uol as absolute gilts.

In conclusion, the com in it tee recom

shall be devoted lo Education and Internal

The residue of the 8.irplus lo he added
to die lutcrnar Improvement l und, and

lmernal linproveinenls, to be loaned out to
l ompaiiics engaged in constructing works
for the improvement of the means of inter

lowed" to borrow an amount greater than
one half its capita! slock, ami the debt to be
made safe by either real or personal security.

of the lizard for Internal iniprovemculs
who are io keepthe fund in a course of ac

,,e jllU.r,.Ml ,ey as it is paid in. Inthis
way works ol, Internal improvement will
be faciltuit'd while, al the game lime, the
fund will accumulate for future use.
This is a very meagre outline of the Re
port, all the positions of which are sustain
ed by a course of profound reasoning which
will not fail, we think, lo carry conviction
o every dispassionate mind.
