The Whigs vio- lently condemned the report as an administration attempt to dis- credit the States who had not asked for aid, and contended that the report supposed a co...ntingency that was not likely to happen. ^ Clay, of Alabama, replied by referring to the Baring circular and quoting the Whig newspapers to prove that some of the Whigs had actually been planning assumption.* Calhoun affirmed that the anxiety of the Whigs to avoid a vote on the resolutions showed that the plan to assimie the debts of the States, by dividing the proceeds of the sales of public lands among them, was no idle fiction, and that its burden would fall on the South, as an increase of the tariff would be necessary to make good the resulting deficit in the Treas- ury.* The New York Evening Post declared that the debate seemed to exhibit pretty clearly that assumption had not been given up by its friends, otherwise Benton's resolutions and Grundy's report would not have been so violently attacked; that the object of the Whigs appeared to be to prevent the report from being accepted by the Senate, and so to suppress the view it took of the enormous amount of state extravagance; and that they regarded it as wise to postpone if possible the consideration of the question tiU the great interests involved could be brought to bear in some way upon Con- gress.
