INDIANA STATE DEBT.-The Agent Of large
number of the bondholders of the State Of Indiana
has addressed letter to the Governor of that State,
in which the following propositions are made for
the arrangement Of the State debt. He proposes
that propertytax of three mills, and polltax of
seventy-fve cents, be laid by the Legislature. This
will produce sufficient sum to pay two per cent.
per annum on the public debt during the next six
years, and leave surplus of one hundred thousand
dollars to be applied for the reduction Of the do
mestic debt, which will be paid up at the end of
that time. BY laying then an additional holf mill


tax property, the State will be able to pay three
per cent. interest on the public debt and have
considerable surplus to be used as a sinking fund
for the payment Of the principal. 1t is believed
that after 1851 the revenues of the Wabash and
Ohio Canal, completed to the Ohio river, may be
relied on for the balance of the interest. The re-
ception Of the Agent has been very favorable, and
the disposition on the part of the people TO attempt
the payment Of the State debt appears to be con-
siderably ncreased.-PenasyiUani
