The Upper House. 83

For these Reasons, we cannot agree to burthen the People with
any Salary to the Clerk of the Council: And as the Journal is already
swelled to a very large Amount, and the Discharge of the Public
Debt, now many Years standing, is a Matter of Importance and
greatly desired by the whole Province, and no Dispute remains but
only the Salaries to the Clerks of the Council; and as the circulating
a Sum of Money equal to the Public Debt would be of singular
Advantage to the Community, and may well be done upon the Credit
of the Treasure now belonging to the Province, we have again
returned you the Journal and List of Debts incurred on Account of
the late War, and are not without Hopes that your Honours will
assent thereto as they now stand
