Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report From the Secretary of the Treasury, on the Finances: December 24, 1839
All these, and similar cons1derations in favor of some permanent provi sion on this subject, apply with still greater force than they have heretofore. The available balance in the Treasury to facilitate its operations, is much smaller than has formerly been usual. The receipts 011 the debts still due from banks, after two previous disappointments as to some of them, must be regarded with increased doubt, and if they should be paid within the coming year, the outstanding Treasury notes become redeemable in the first half of it, and must be discharged some months before the bond of the United States Bank falls-due in September.
