The United States Government is embarrassed by want of money.
President VAN BUREN had sent a message to Congress, stating, that "with over 28,000,000 of dollars in deposit with the States, and over 15,000,000 of dollars due from individuals and banks," the Government is placed in immediate danger of being unable to discharge its various pecuniary obligations. He re- commends, as a measure of relief, a bill authorizing the reissue of Treasury notes as they become due.
