I approve of the liutiun of certain mernbur.s of tho Houso in t.ixint,' tho bondholder, or reducing tho imlu of interest; for tho reason we cannot ulfiird to pay it : nuitliur have we done so (or yoivrs. Tho iuturest has always been li.iiii out of borrowed money, lint to tax tli'j bondholder und then raisu their own ;viR(H with tho money is dishonest; but alas for human nature, "tho tail of thu : .jrp.-iit h over us utill." 1 trust, indeed, that their measures will be v«ry much ui..ililiuil in committee, and that thu Lurislitue Council will throw "'it thn Bill for the iiiuroci.su of tho honorarium.—F am, etc., H.
