HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVF J. Tuesday, January 3. The report of the comint;tee of Ways and Means on the fubjedl of the balances due from indivi dual States to the United State* being under con federation. Mr. Williams moved that the farther confident tiou of the fubjeft (hould be postponed to that day three weeks, for the reasons which had been urged by his eolleague yetterday. Mi. Coit hoped, except some stronger reasons than had yet oeen given for the pott.ponemcnt, it would not take place. The conduct of gentlemen from the state of New-York, he thought extraor, dirvary on this occasion. It appeared as if they wished to give thebufinefs the Ge-ty in silence, by mean 3at delay. There had already been time e nough for blinking objc&ions forward, if there had been, any for the last three years ? but now when they were about to be called upon to pay, time waa demanded in whi.ch to bring forward obie&ions. For his part he thought the refolutio* ought le pas» at present. Mr, Li'vingfton was sorry the deputation from New- 1 ! Oik should befufpedled of disingenuous con duS. -They had explained thcii reasons for wish ing the pdliponement, which was that they might have an opportunity to consult the state which they represented, a.id not to give the business tht go-by in liletics, as the geutlemai) from Conne£ticut had ; fappofed. iotne of those members did not confi- I der thcmfeJvcs as r prefeniatives of New-York, in a j fepijt'ste independent capacity, but in general as a state of the Union, ;nd that it was uecedary to have paiticular i..£liudtious on this point. The re port, he said, had only been laid a few days on th» table j and if -Ins motion had yesterday been in -or der [or a postponement, he bad not a doubt, from the disposition of the house, it would have pafTed. The gentleman from Connecticut had said that three yean had pasTed fincc the settlement of these accounts, and *0 objection had been made to it on the part of Ntw-York. He acknowledged three years had elapftd and no-steps had been taken to enforce the demand. He believed indeed that there was a kind of undtrdanding at the time, that these debts were te be buiied in oblivion. The creditor states had had their credits fecu-ed, but uo order had been taken wuh refpeft to the debts. He mentioned this as a reason for no Heps having b fc en taken. He spoke of it however only from information. He hoped the delay «f three years in the business, would not be brought as an objec tion against the short postponement now aflced for. Ii had never been their custom, he said, to press fubjecfs which were important, when delay was re quired by any member on rcafosable giound. He the re fore 1 elied upon it that the postponement would be granted. J Mr. N. Smith said, it was never the cuftora of tbe house to press a fubjeft-wheu there was any rea fonablc ground for delay. The gentlemen from Ncw-\ oik laid it waa ucceflary to hear from their date on the present fubjedt, as they were not autho rized to act for that date is its individual capacity. He agreed that they had no nght to appear in he half of that state individual!)', but he could fee ne rer;fon for waiting to hear from thencc before the relolution in quellion was pait. Could they not re falve to afl; a debtor for payment, without; asking leave of that debtor i Were they aboui to adopt coercive measures, it would be reasonable te give them notice ; but-they Were merely asking for the money. This, be faifl, was the proper m6de of doing it, and wouid draw foith their obje&ions, if they bad any to the payment. These ofbjeflioni would be given by the slate, and this was the regu lar way of receiving them ; and therefore he could fee no poflible realoo to postpone the present quef lion. Mr. Gilbert said, it would be recolle£ted when the subject ®f thelc balances were under coafidera . tion three years ago, th,tt there was really an un derstanding in many of the debtor states, that tho' it was necefiary that provision fliould be made for funding what waa due to the creditor Itates, that there the business would (top: and, when the mo tion far relinqui filing the debt was agitated, it was said there was no iJccaUon to pass such a resolution, as there ir. T. said, was, not more than a barenotifica ion to the individual states that they had certain demands upon diem. When this was done, if they had any objeilion to make to them, then was the proper time to eiiufe agents to come forward and de clare those obje&iont , for, said he, if the different representatives were to infor.ii their tia:es what was doing, the information would be irregular; therefore, j the fame reason offered by'he gentlemen for a post ponement, convinccd him of the prcpne;yof palling the refclution. Why, he fiid, were luggeitions made that these states were unwilling to pay their debt» ? He thought it extremely wrong to form such a conjec ture. The gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Murry) had offered a reason for not pilling this refoluuon, which would have some weight in it, if it Was w ill founded. These debts are not to be callcd for, he said, becaufeit would eaufeconfufion, and thiow the drbtor i.atcs out of the union. If he thought so, he would not only postpone the business, but blot out the demand from their books But he had nefuch idea. They did not know at present, that the state ef New-York or any ether state were difincliried to pay, as the reprcfeuta tives had acknowledged they had no authority to make a declaration on the fulvjeifl As far as he underitood the business, the feulement was fair, just, and honora ble ; and every motive which would induce an indi vidual to pay his debts, ought to operate on the debt or states topjj' theirs. Mr. Gilbert would just observe, that the gentleman from Massachusetts, and others, took for granted that the debt in queflion was just, which they disputed. He also again went into argument to prove the ntceffi tyof making enquiries into the fubjetS. Mr. Williams did not mean his motion to have the effeA of poftpoin'ing the business 'till next lellion, though if other gentlemen wilhed it he h. t. no objec tion. Mr. W. recapitulated some of his rcalbns, for uilhing an inveftigatiofl of the business, and a post ponement to lake place for that purpose. Mr. Claiborne was at a loft to know what use could be made of any information on the fubjeiSl, unless it was to dispute the settlement, which he believed to be binding. He thought to adopt the refoiution before them, would be til? best way of bringing the matter to issue, and it eould not fairly be objeited to, as it was , merely a rt#ueft. He hoped therefore, it would be [ passed without delay. Mr. Potter was averle to the postponement, be cause no fwfficient reason had been given tor it. It had been faie!, that when the commifiiuners repart was received, the creditm- Hates had had their cre» dits funded, yet it had been tacitly uuderllood, the debtor states were never to be tailed upon for their balances. This, he said, was not a lufficient rea son for the delay. It had been said, that it was improper at this time to call upon these states for their balances. Was there any better time, he ask ed, for calling for a debt, than when the debtyr was able to pay, or than when the creditor wanted the money ? he thought not. If there existed aiyr obje&ions to the payment of these debts, this was the best mode of bringing them forwardi It was said by jhe gentleman from Maryland ( Mr. Murray) that this was a bad time to make the application, and that it might throw the Unit ed States into great eonfufion. If this were likely to be the cafe, it was bell to know it soon. He had no idea of rclir.quiftiing the claim ; and if tliey were not to be on friendly tei Ms with the state mi New-Yoik, or any other state, but by the fame means which gained them the friendfhip of the clcy and regency of Algiers, he lliotild not wilhforit. Mr. Potter said lie could not lee upon what terms gentlemen ebjefted to this refolutian. It was a reflection upon the people of New-York, to do so. Hehimfelf Dad no doubt, but they would pay tile money when the demand was regularly made upon them, aj it was their share of the price of the revolution, and of their ficedom; and gentlemen (hould suppose that making these de mandsvwas calculated to -create confuftOn in the United Stales, was extraordinary. By the report of the fecictary of the iieafury, they had a c;>lcii latien on the subject of dirett taxation. Huiy were these taxes, he asked, to be collected ? VVei e they not to be demanded from states which were taxing their own inhabitants ? And would not these people, if the Hate of New-York and others wei;e excused from the payment of their debts, have gaod reason to complain, at thus being callcd upotl to make good other's deficiencies ? And would not they also be as likely to £hew a spirit ef lehitance, when inch demands were made upon them, as the state of New-Ymk whin she were called upon to difcharge-her just debts: He believed the one cafe was hilly as probable as the other. Had the resolution on the table alone been at* tended to, the present business would have been ' simp!c r as it wag a mere request for payment, mull have been with the money, or reafpftt why it was not ,pajd. But the fubjetf had beta greatly wandered from. As gentlemen were how ever extremely anxious for a delay of thus weeks,
