CONGRESS OP the UNITED STATES.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
ritten
Friday, December 30.
Debate on the report of the committte of ways
and means, on the un fettled balances due from
h the individual dates to the United States.
[Cominued.j
Mr. W. Smith said he could not agree to the
propofiiinn of the gentleman from Virginia, tho'
eventually the means recommended might be proper.
The fubjeft before them, he said, was a very deli
cate lubjeii, and ought to he treated with every
degree of candor. He was glad that the gentle
man from New-York had spoke upon the fubjeft
with a degree of moderation which did him credit.
The difculiion was an unpleasant one, and could
»> scarcely fail to excite a degree of irritation in the
house, which, however, it would be desirable to
' as mpch as poflible. For many years, Mr.
f S. fubjedt had {)een undi-r confideratioj,
and it was much to be desired, that it could now
mpt. rol, g hta close. He knew no better mode
of dbing this thin the one propnfed, vis. thSt the
debtor Hates fliould be informed of the Aims with
which they flood charged, and that payment should
1 be requested in such a way as fliould prove moll
agreeable to them.
Mr. S. said he should not follow the gentleman
from New-York (Mr. Willi.ms) through the
whole of his observations, because he did not think
them iflauve to the fubjea before them. Seme
of them roigUt have been properly enough fuauett
*'• ed when the fuhjeft of balancing the accounts was
before the hoofe fce believed, indeed, they were
brought forward at that time. He would mention
mrs ome / atls rtla " ve to the business, with nhich per-
Miss , p * me g ent lemen might not be.aoquainted. In
the year 179®, it seemed to be the general with
that an adjuflment of debts and credits betwixt
edy th* general government and individual Hates with
ND refpeft.tothe late wai, n lo uld take place; that
balancer should -be struck, and those dates which
liar W f' e fero "£ ht debtors Ihould pay, and those
who were found to be creditors should receive what
Dre, *y as '"•ported to be just ; and, in order to facilitate 1
the the business, a great deal of compromise took 1
place, lo that it was at length agreed upon with a 1
the good deal of unanimity. In order to give the 1
the ™ °PH ortuni, y of bringing forward all their 1
om c.aims, the commissioners were inverted with chan <
eery powers. After the business had gone through 1
leir the committee of the whole, the was only one 1
md question which occasioned any difaiflion, and upon '
to this the yeas and rays were taken ; this was the 1
ratio by which the states should be chawed. On a 4
I motion toftiike out this ratio, it was loft, to r
10 ; and what was remarkable, one half of ihe "
reprefents'ives from the state of 'New-York voted 1
for the existing mode, andthe other half for ft ik v
ing it out. [Mr. S. here read an extrefl f rom the a
journals.] It did not at that time strike the mem: "
bej;s from that date, that the ratio adopted would
injuie them. Whether subsequent events had made 8
it unfavorable to' them or not, was not now the c
question, but whether those states which had been {{
kj reported debtors should be called upon to pay what ''
was due from them. it
Mr. S. said this business might be compared to n
an arbitration betwixt individuals, where full pow- "
ers were given to the arbitrators; for after all that
could be said about the exertions of individual
states, was brought forward, it was agreed to put 8
the matter into the hands of three' commiiSonets ll
to make an award. The award was made and ac- c:
cepted by Congrefi. Whatever obieftioßs were li
>n held against it, should have been made at that time cc
th e l /' e awar( * bad been carried into effed. Any K 1
in c ° n, P' aint4 n,w brought forward against the princi- nf
p . es , ind ™ ode of 'rt'lement, were certainly ill tfl
>e r y quefl'on now was, which is the Ta
n best way of completing the business ? He though' va
the mode proposed was the best. It appeared, by
lf the report of the committee, that the following M
h were the debtor states, viz. New-York, Pennfy*
:- vania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and North- N
Carolina. The whole debt was 3,5 17,584 dollars, fr <
of which 2,740,000 was owinjr by- New-York
' The interest of the debt, viz. 844,218 dollars be- ,h '
, "ig added, made the whole 4,361,802 dollais.
I _ OIIr P re f«t embarrafled fituatioß, said Mr. ce!
Smith, this money would be very acceptable. In 'X
, | order to meet the demands of the public creditors, th;
II » was well known that recourse mud It had to ad- brt
ditional revenue. It would, therefore, be very de- P ai
Arable if the debts could be collected, as it would Co
serve to lessen that sum which must otherwise be Sti
colleftcd from the people. Orthis money J he said, cre
might be ufefullly employed in providing for the Yo
• defence of the country, cither by means of a navy, ,he
increase of arsenals, or otherwile. Indeed, there ma
were many beneficial objefls to which the money f,t)l
might be applied ; and he doubted not, when the onr
debtor da es knew the situation of the United tor!
States, those who were able to pay, at loft, would ,va(
come forward cheerfully, and pay the Aims due on
from them, in such a way as should be mod ag'ree. U "
able to themselves. gin;
Mr. Smith said, he should suppose, that even
the debtor states themselves would vrifh to have tbefe l,ou
accounts fettled, as it must be unpleasant to them
whi;n claims were made from them upon the United war
Mates, to be told they were in debt to the union. mt " n
He remembered an instance in the last frfDon, where afidl
this was the cafe with refpe& to New-York. Tile Mr
fettlemcnt ,now desired, would do away such difa- b , ut 1
greeabls insinuation, in future. As to the date of „, C ™
New- York, he should be the last person who would
ay any thing that would be disagreeable to that prod
I -ale, as it was a state of confequenee in the union, have
and entitled to every degree of refpe& ; but gen- P ro P
tlemen mull know that the finances of that state tr "?-
were in a mod flourifhing cohdirion ; that tLey had
abundance of wealth. [Mr. S. here enumerated an
account of their riches, J When, he said, they con- £
tempi.,ed the situation of o'her states, with debt. Mi
upon their fhouldeis, to pay the intered of which, the c,
& for the support of their civil establishment, they its bt
were obliged to tax their citizens, he did not think

the interest of which,'and their civil lift, they were
obliged to have recourse to tlireft taxation on their
land> wlulll the state of New-York had no taxes
at "all,' though he understood the legislature had re
commended a tax to be laid, in order to accustom
ways people to the payment of a tax.
from Ihe only Mr. S. said, was whether
any material injury could arise from the application
proposed to be made to the debtor dates for pny
) the ment. If they had any well founded obje&ions
tho' to thepajmeHt »f the refpeftive balances, they
eper. would of coarse make them ; if not, they would
deli- dsubtlefs propose some mode of payment. But,
every Mr. S. said, if it was the opinion of the house,
:ntle- 'hat these debts ought at once to be cancelled, let
bjeft j l be dsnc. Something ought to be concluded on,
edit. order ro put an en"d to so unpleasant a business.
:oa!d Mr. Harper said it was very easy to fee hy the
the turn of the present debate, that no very amicable
e to or fortunate iflue would rcfult from the demand
Mr. 'hey war e about to make, upon New-York. He
tio», nßt believe that state would be prevailed with
now to P a y the demand in question, and he did not
node of any mears of coercing them to pay. He
; the always oppsfed to threats, when he was not n.
with hie to ftn'ke, or to make a demand which he could
ould "at enforce. He had no doubt-that the settlement
molt wasjuft and, and that that state was realty in
debted in the sum ipecified ; but if they disputed
man the d</bt and the mode of settlement, they could
the n . ot force them to pay it. From these coafrdera
link t ' on8 > it was his opinion they ought not to make
erne 'he demand at present. He would not cancel the
, e ft. debt, as, at lome future period, they might go in
was '? "ffociation on the fubjefit. He wilhed to get
vac rid of the business without a deeffion. He (hould
tion therefore move that the committee rife, and he
per- w " ll,d afterwards move, that it be discharged from
in a fo r ther consideration on the fubjeft.
vith Mr. Con hoped the committee would not rife,
vixt rtle gentleman from S. Carolina seemed to think '
n,h that a period might arrive when it would be pfoper 1
hat to negotiate on'the fubjeft, but not at present. If '
lich 'he gentltman had stated any reason why he thought
, B f e any future period would be more propir than the •
hat p'efent for a settlement of I the business, perhaps he 1
are m, £ flt have concurred with him in opinion • but '
}o fc not having stated any, he was opposed to having f
, a the business joflponed. The pn.pofitian, Mr. C. j C

to mi nnt be considered as creditor states, (luce the mo- • ■
,he ni T 'hey owed, did not amount to so much as "
f( j their share of the whole debt would be, provided it !•'
