Statement of W. G. Blount.

I certify, that, during the late war, I was Secretary of State for the State of Tennessee, and that I knew the manner in which funds for the Quartermaster's Department here were raised, to promote and carry on the service, and how the service was otherwise promoted, through the great exertions and responsibilities of the then Governor, Willie Blount, to wit: by bills drawn by him, without authority from the General Government, (excepting the sum of ten thousand dollars, for which sum he was authorized to draw,) but upon his own and that of his endorsers' personal responsibility, and by his notes, discounted at banks, to raise money for those objects; the amount of which bills and notes were invariably paid, either to the Assistant Deputy Quartermaster of the United States' service, in Nashville, or to the contractor for supplying the United States' troops in service, from Tennessee; and I have every reason to believe, that in that way the service was carried on in this quarter during the war; and in that way only was the public service promoted, to the amount of between three and four hundred thousand dollars; and that, in every case of a bill so drawn and paid by the War Department, that amount was received by the holders of the bills, and not in any instance by Governor Blount. I further certify, that Governor Blount invariably gave endorsers on his notes discounted by the banks, and was frequently compelled to give endorsers on bills drawn by him on the War Department, in order to enable him to raise money wherewith to promote the good of the service; and that great difficulties and constant prospects of great pecuniary embarrassment were experienced by Governor Blount, throughout the war; his bills being at times protested, to large amounts, and his notes in bank, for very considerable sums, being, also, at times, in danger of being protested. I further certify, that, by Governor Blount's arrangements with the Bank of the State of Tennessee, the Treasury notes remitted to him by order of the Secretary of War, for the use of General Jackson's army, near the conclusion of the war, the credit of those Treasury notes was much aided, their circulation thereby caused to be made at par, and that a profitable interest, exceeding fifteen hundred dollars, accrued to the Government, and was paid over for the benefit of the Government. I further certify, that the act of the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee, passed in the year 1813, authorizing the Governor to borrow money, on the credit of the State, for the equipment and supply of three thousand five hundred troops, to act against the hostile Creeks, &c. was wholly unavailing as to funds, as neither the banks nor individuals were found willing to lend money on the terms prescribed by said act; and, consequently, the Governor could not, nor did not, raise a dollar, under the authority of that act; but that he raised the necessary funds, not only to supply and equip those three thousand five hundred men, but also raised funds to large amounts on his own responsibility, by bills and otherwise, both before and after the passage and expiration of said act, without his having received a dollar from the Government for such or any other public service, as I believe, excepting the sum of ten thousand dollars, for which he was authorized by the Government to draw, about the time the Tennessee troops were first ordered into the service of the United States, after the declaration of war, and marched, under the command of General Jackson, to Natchez,
