Report: Of The State Central Committee Of 1846, Of "the Liberty Fund," And Their Account Of Receipts And Disbursements

The Committee present herewilh, in tabular form, a statement of the subscriptions and payments to the State Fund. It exhibits in one view tbc contribuiions promised and paid by each county, with the balance yet due. Annexed to eaeh promise, the payments, if any, are credited. They are thus brought forward from the original acknowledgements thereof made 'm the Signal nt the lime of payment. The Committee desired to accompany their report by a list of tl. e several payers, but finding that sucb a list would be too voluminous, they substituto for it in tlie last column, a reference lo the Signal containing the original acknowledgements, with the names of the donors and particulars of payment. Each person can thus readily ascertain the correctness of the present report as respects himself. lf he has paid, let him look for bis town in the present statement : thence turn to the Signnl indicated by the appropriate reference, and he will find that his individual payment forms a part of the gross sum now credited to his town. The present statement contains evcry known payment, up to this time, no matter how small, or to whom made, if paid to any of the Committee, their agents orlecturers. Üther sums may have heen paid to Town Chturmen, and may yet remain in their hands. If hou ever, any error oromission is found, the CommiUce request to be noíiñed, and will correct it through ihe Signal. Following the statemen is an account of disbursernents nnd liabilities. The Committee predicated their engagements on the amounl promised by the State, nnd regret that ihe failure to meet ihis promise has greatly embarrassed them, reducing the Commiltce to choose between ihe alternativo of suilbring antislavcry credit to be dishonored or out of limited private meansto supply the heavy deficiency. To sustain the cause, the Committee were compelled to borrow money which is yet unpaid in part, and also to allow a small part of their engagements to lie undischarged. No charge is made for any personal expenses by the Committee.
