A complete and authentic issue of the Columbian Centinel, January 12, 1791, 4pp., disbound, crisp rag paper, fine. Scarce printed script signature of President George Washington below the print Congressional Act "making further payment of Debts of the United States" ... This act allowed the National Government to absorb the States debts associated with the Revolutionary War. This Act was a result of a deal between Alexander Hamilton and northern states wanted the new federal government to assume Revolutionary War debts, and Thomas Jefferson and southern states who wanted the capital placed in a location friendly to slave-holding agricultural interests.
