Of the four distinguishable advantages<add>objects</add>aimed at by and effects expected for by
looked for for by the proposed measure, that which will probably be
regarded as the principal, is the degree of acceleration and
assurance promised by it to the extinctionredemption of the
National Debt. To the accomplishment of this so desirable
an object, in a way consistent with existing
engagements, in relation to it, no damage
accruing to particular interests has ever been
considered as opposing my such a bar asthat ought to not be be

say from 4 to 3 per Cent, is a perpetual
tax to that amountand that a perpetual the amount of 25 per Cent

in a proposition to to be disported too
obvious to be overlooked. Yet the design of
effecting such reduction of the same cost, and
that to an undefined amount, is a design
