Congressional Diary notes on debt and land fund in Senate
In the Senate on August 24 the bill to distribute public land revenues was debated as amendments proposed by Woonsbury sought to halt the plan if new debt beyond twelve million was required. Cray challenged the idea, Tapean urged delaying final action until December when a new loan might be needed, and voting then reflected caution about expanding sovereign liabilities. Cray warned a December loan could arise, while supporters argued restraint and selling public lands could raise funds, with additional Virginia memorials and departmental appropriations referenced.
