TENS. We had money, sound convertible
uniform, par-valne money in proportion to
the business trade and commerce of the
country. There was no universal bankrupt
cies, no total depreciation of money no gen
eral business ofsacrifcing property, no for
tunes made in year by brokers, sherifs and
merchants. But to place ourselves under
these circumstances again and re turn to the
paths Of EXPERIENCE in which we have trod-
den would be wrong, entirely wrong, be-
cause it would oppose the theories and spe-
cuIGtiOns of band of babbling Office hold
ers and Office seeking politicians.
With National Bank we were never
without sound uniform currency, and a
safe and easy and cheap mode Of transmit
ting money from place to place. Without
such an institution we never had a sound
currency or ought else but deranged sys-
tenn of Domestic exchange. But what is
experience compared with the tbcory& erp-
eriments of the Office holders?

the nomination was very slim, but no nomination
could have been made TO give more universal sa-
tisfaction in this part of the country have at
tended several very large meetings in this city,
