NEw YoRK, May 9, 1888.


DEAR Sir; The resolution of Mr.. CLAY IN the
United States Senate, in relation TO The currency,
which was given the go-by 10 by the Loco-foco ma
jority, was exceedingly well timed and II the Co
vernment really desire to perpetuae the resumption
Of specie payments by our banks the critical period
had arrived, and nothing could have been more DO
tent than MIR. Clays resolution. This Is the day
when the legal resumption OF specie payments takes
place; and II has passed over without any demands
being made forl The precious metals from any quarter
Our banks have more than theydesire TO hold, and
the withdrawal Of one or two millions of dollars
would not be inopportune. The amount now in the
vaults Of the City banks is over aren and half
millions Of dollars, and five millions is more than
the quantity usually held in prosperous times when
their liabilities double what they now amount to-
The Locofoco presses in this State are at faux since
the Virginia election
The Globe bills and COOS with the naughty Con-
servaiives one day, and abuses them the nett--and
the echoes, in this region desire to know which
policy to pursue Even Mr.. Tallmadge, the chief Of
Sinners has little respite, and finding that the peo-
pie OF his native State will stand by him, the Des-
trucfiyes feel reluctant TO continue their warfare.
As the people, en- masse, have condemned the Sub
Treasuryites, | presume that all the coaxing of
party leaders will fail to conduct the Administration
10 victory. Let us, lhen who have boldly stood for
ward to sustain pure principles when The enemy was
all powerful, not al this hour shrink back al the beck
and nod of discounted faction.
Those who would have betrayed our liberties
when they considered themselves secure must not
again be trusted. The Rubicon is already passed.
Henceforth reform and riesory must be the watch
words and he who hesita,es may love his party, but
is no friend to his country
