This great act funded the creation of just the 2nd regiment of US infantry, as well as for the Federal Judiciary, the State and Treasury Departments, and for paying the commissioners who negotiated the second treaty with the western Native Americans; It also authorizes and pays for raising the second regiment for the United States ArmyThe U.S. Army?s 1st Regiment of Infantry was organized in 1789 just after the first government under the new U.S. Constitution got under way. But soon eyes began to turn to the west, to lands under the Northwest Ordinance, and it was clear that a force was needed to deal with the Native Americans and tame the territory. So in March 1791, Congress added the 2nd Regiment of Infantry, with officers, and eight companies of about 100 men each. Of course, the new regiment needed to be funded. In the fall of that year the regiment would be ordered to take the field against the Miami Native Americans and proceeded to Fort Washington, now Cincinnati. It took part in Governor Arthur St. Clair?s campaign against Little Turtle, chief of the Miamis. Thereafter the unit became part of Gen. Anthony Wayne?s command.In January 1790, Alexander Hamilton, installed as the first Secretary of the Treasury, submitted his Report on the Public Credit to Congress. He called for funding nearly all the government's obligations, including the state debts, into long-term federal securities payable in specie - that is, gold or silver. After considerable debate Hamilton's proposals were adopted in August 1790. The foreign debt was fully funded, as was most of the domestic debt; but there was a need for the government to authorize access to hard money, rather than paper to pay these obligations. And with Hamilton undertaking establishment of the first Bank of the United States in addition to the Treasury Departments other expenditures, Treasury had a shortfall in funding. This Act aimed to help cover those costs.The United States census is the basis of apportionment of representatives to Congress, and as such is the foundation of the American democracy. The census was of such import that it was mandated in Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, and this provision was then supplemented by laws of Congress. These required that every household in the nation be visited, that completed census schedules be posted in 'two of the most public places within [each jurisdiction], there to remain for the inspection of all concerned.' and that 'the aggregate amount of each description of persons' for every district be transmitted to the President. The first U.S. census was taken on Census Day, August 2, 1790, and enumerated the population of the United States as 3,929,214. This was thus the first census affecting Congressional apportionment. The expenses of the census had been underestimated, and the final ones needed to be paid.On March 15, 1785, Congress appointed commissioners to treat with the Cherokees for the purpose of making a peace treaty with them.? The commissioners were Benjamin Hawkins, Daniel Carroll, and William Peery. Hawkins was a delegate to the Continental Congress who in 1796 would be appointed by President Washington as General Superintendent for Indian Affairs. Carroll was a signer of both the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution of the United States. He was a cousin of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Peery was a delegate to the Continental Congress. In November 1785 the treaty was concluded, in which the Cherokees were obligated to agree and acknowledge that they were under the protection of the United States. This was just the second Indian treaty concluded by the U.S. government for the western lands. The commissioners had expenses, and surprisingly, in 1791 these had not yet been satisfied.In the years immediately after they were founded under the Judiciary Act of 1789, Federal courts were thought of as essentially self-financing, taking their revenues from a fund arising from fines, forfeitures and penalties imposed on those appearing before them. For example, a ship?s captain might be fined for dodging customs at a major port. However, these sources proved insufficient for payment of all of the expenses of the growing court system, so supplementary monies were required. The idea that courts were self-funding was wishful thinking and would be abandoned. In any event, there was a serious deficiency in 1791.In 1787, Congress passed ?An Ordinance for settling the accounts between the United States & Individual States.? These claims were for wartime expenses, post-war militia expenses, and advances or disbursements made for the commissary, quartermaster, marine and hospital departments, if paid for a Federal purpose. The act authorized the appointment of commissioners to go into the states and examine financial claims each had with the Federal government. Now these claims had to be paid.The State Department was formed in 1789, and its main purpose was to deal with foreign nations. This involved establishing embassies and running, handling negotiations, and conducting foreign espionage. With France and all of Europe in an uproar in the wake of the French Revolution, and that continent on the brink of a major war, diplomacy was more important than ever to the United States. The required resulted in cost overruns to the State Department, which needed to be paid.The result of the need for funding for all of these crucial expenses was an omnibus bill rather understatedly called, ?An Act making certain appropriations therein specified?.Printed document signed as Secretary of State, 2 pages, Philadelphia, PA, approved May 8, 1792, being the official notification to the states of funding for these matters of importance to the new Republic.?Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, in Congress assembled, That there be granted and appropriated the following sums for the following purposes, to.

The first Census was conducted in 1790, and marshals of the U.S. judicial districts were responsible for the gathering of the Census data for each family in each district. A summary was then transmitted to the President through the Department of State. The second census was conducted in the same way.At that time, the U.S. had no formal means to measure the growth or decline of its manufacturing sectors, though these were an increasingly important part of its economy. An act of May 1, 1810 sought to address this problem by giving the federal government authority to collect more information on the size of the states? economies. It required that marshals not only transmit to the Secretary of State the general population data, but also that they convey to the Secretary of the Treasury ?an account of the several manufacturing establishments and manufactures within their several districts, territories, and divisions.? The results of the 1810 census, a combination of the information gathered by the Secretaries of State and Treasury, were published in a 180-page volume.Letter Signed, Department of State, December 27, 1811, to Albert Gallatin, Secretary of the Treasury. ?Sir, I transmit to you herewith a printed copy of the Third Census of the Inhabitants of the United States and of their territories. I have considered it would be gratifying to you, who have participated in the Labors of this work, to have an opportunity of viewing it in its complete and final form; and it cannot fail to be useful as a document in the office which you hold.? Letters between cabinet members on essential business are quite uncommon. This is the first from Monroe to Gallatin that we have had.
