That is her glory. ‘To this | undred million pounds, or a uthe of that, ora tithe of a tithe of that—were :t only eight millions, in that case repudiation might be @ necessity, an Alabama might be only like Moolraj, the humble victim of circumstances. Considering the scale and proportion of transatlantic honor, there would be nothing wonderful in an American state as large as England, voting itself unable to pay one hun- dredth part of our national debt. But the promised testimony of Alabama to the fpcat principle of re- i pudiation is spontaneous, deliberate and emphatic. he total of her indebtedness is barely £2,000,000 of our money. The interest on this debt, and all the cost of the state government, do not toge- ther exceed £140,000 a year. ‘The present revenue of the state from all sources is about £115,000 a year, leaving an annual deficit of aboat £25,000. This £25,000 a year is the subject of the glorious testimony which Alabama is now about to make in the presence of the whole civilized world. She will the value of the sum, ma pays as much in the way of State taxes as she finds compatible with her comfort, and will not | pay one dollar more. European nations feel the same repugnance to additional taxes; for exam this was observed when the Chancellor ef the chequer proposes a5 per cent income tax. But there are other alternatives besides increased taxa- tion. One of them isto borrow, as a resource which we have nvely been reduced to. Several courses are open to U } paying off the debt, but for distributing it over fu- ture years. But no; these heroic repudiators are | above such paltry shifts. They will not pay at a greater pace than they have done heretofore; and, | as a portion of the capital will shortly be due, they are resolved not to refund that at all. | not the money. It is not for hat tor tise peianipie Alabe- ple, e State of Alabama, not for The public profession of insolvency has not yet been made. The Legislature meets next month, and will immediately be called on to decide whe- ther it will acknowledge by increased taxation the necessity of paying off its debt some time or other. | Meanwhile the people have already expressed | themselves with their usual energy. The candi- | dates at the late elections were examined as to | their sentiments on the all-important point, which | in Alabama just now stands for the six points of the | Charter. | ‘they have responded to the post | feeling with more or less heartiness. Some have | been in favor of total repudiation ; others have ad- | vocated a composition for haif the existing amouut | ot the debt; while others, again, propose to obtain the same result by reducing the rate of interest to half the bee percentage. Honesty is not a | matter of degree, and the difference between | total repudiators and half repudiators is mere- | ly that the former is the more honest knavery of the two. When Alabama ence makes up its mind to pocket half the capital or half the interest due to the creditor, resolved that the ap- propriation is an act of public spirit and virtue, it Will not be slow to discover that the same process of reasoning epplies to the other half. In fact, there can be no principle without consistency. ‘The continued payment of the remaining movety would testify with very unpleasant force against the act of repudiation. On the maxim that dead men tell no tales, it will be better to kill the debt at once and put the creditors out of their pain. Half measures will thus lead to what may be called a teetotal repudiation ; and we shall cer- tainly call it a balf-measure if, with rapidly in- creasing wealth and population, and, eonsequeatly, with abundant means to pay, the State Legislature should decide against — increased taxation, and thus perpetuate the annual deficit. The State of Miesisarppi has already done it re- pudiation. The Misssisippi Democrat “ considers the question settled by the people, and 1s not in fi vor of renewing the subject.” General Quitman, who was once rather green on this point, has now thoroughly righted himself in the public esteem, and discovered the esoteric grace of wilful insol- vency.

Wasutneton, Nov. 23, 1849. Mr. Benton and Mr. Calhoun. The issue between Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Benton, on the slavery question, at the coming Congress, will, from all appearances, be of the most. for- midable and exciting character. The contest which has been kept up against Mr. Calhoun, by Mr. Benton, during his late terrible campaign m Missouri, will doubtlees be resumed in the Senate, with his powerful adversary, face to face. Mr. Benton 18 known to be deadly hostile to Mr. Cal- houn and his views on the slavery question. He js in favor of the territory of New Mexico, and the proviso, if she desires it; he 1s in favor of Califor- nia as she stands, proviso and all; to all of whicit Mr. Calhoun is most decidedly opposed. Neither of these powerful men seems disposed to give or to ask an inch of quarter. The brunt of the contest in the Senate, on the slavery question, will rest be» tween them; and but for the compromising om of Mr. Clay and General Cass, there weul ground for serious apprehensions. It is said that, on the ratification of the Oregen treaty, Mr, Cal houn and }Mr. Benton embraced each other with ail the affection of two young girls. Let us hoy that, in the settlement of the slavery dispute, the entente cordvile will be restored. But, of all things, let us avoid a row in the Senate. Mr. Benton has been in the city for several days, and appears remarkably fresh and vigerous. Whea Mr. Calhoun left fambome, last spring, his health was very feeble; but at the last accounts he much improved, and is expected to be here on the first day of the session.
