exact a less tax on the Stock df individii

Td aid the Treasury,' until ott'er 'rrieans

punctual payment of the interest, i$S all
that is how desired froim the Literary J
Fund. The proposed disposition of this
part of it, while it supplies the present
wants of the State, will reliev i the scho'ol
Ftind from the expense incident td the
present tida'n Office in tbe lit?rary fioaird;
and the increased Revenue!- in the made
already Set forth, will affojrd ample means
for the payment of the interest. It jwill

To liquidate the State's responsibility

tive, rid part of the former 'earnings of the
FUil Road secured to the State, by a de
cree df Se'qUestra'tiori against the company,
could , go info the' halnds of the Commis
sioners; ;artd the sum of 32,600 accruing
from that source has been therefore paid
into the public treasury. It will thus be
perdeived, that to support the operations
of the road iri all Its departments, there
was td be nd other 'reliance- thkn from it
own receipts, from and after the first of
January last.5 . p
The experiment to 4 this time, removes
all doubt of the ability-of the road to sus
tain itself, if well donddcted, iti that it5
advantages will .still be continued to the
people of the State, and encourages the
belief, that after' all rtecessdry outlays for
repairs and expenses, evcirt at the present
rate of income, it will sfldfd Some returns'
td the treasury as profits on its cost. The
