—leaving altogether 4,780,0001. for reduction of loans on the revenue

and expenditure of the year, besides whatever Mr. M'Culloch may propose to apply out of the balances, or out of any savings Con- gress may determine to make in the present expenditure. Mr. M'Culloch is very anxious to go on with the policy of diminishing the currency with a view to returning to specie payments, but it is not very likely that Congress will allow him to have his way.
