Sir. Editors-l aud Captain ,yler have
been thinking and talking considerably
abou, this +" Currency question" and FiS.
cdliiieS," and things of that natur ; and tais
seems TO DO the notion that we come to, and
twist il and turn 1t as We may, we always
laud a, the same pint. In the first place,
Capt. Tyler keeps his eye on the good old
Consultation and the darker the nigh, and
the harder the Wind blows, and the ctooke.
der the ChaDnel, there you hod HIM watch
lng the Constitution Just as close as Cap
lain Jaaper of the " fwo Poiiles used 10
watch the Cumpuss in the binacle.
was telling him ,'other day that some
folks we're making terrible and shocking
noise about his Tetoss, and II We did UoI look
out sharp they wonld run US ashsre.--
w ell, says he, Major, five 50 on shore
on the tack we are steering We hall 50
Coasti.utionaHy, aud that's Que comfort"
There. says "ihals putty much what
Captain Jumper teli'd me one stormy night
Off Cape Hattrass. The 1.-TWO Poilies "
was plunging along, heading about N. g.,
close 10 the winds eye-and asked Cap
tain Jumper it he couldn't ease Oft leetls
aud let her 90 more free, for the deck vas
plagy wet" Not punt" says he, Tor
we 20 plump on the Cape" Aud then be
took another look at the Char, and cast bis
eye al the binaele. Weli," says |,
Captain Jumper, suppose that Char. aud
CuWpuss amt true" says |, show then"
Why" says he, "if accident comes II amt
so much nv faul, as the misfortune OF own
ers, and underwriters" and he hung On
that tack like dog q, root. As soon as
telled this story to Captain Tyler, vel, J"
says he, &" Major, did the Two Pollies 20
On shore or not that time ]" No." says
|, I" she went clear and as slick as a ribbon,
aud the mex, morning that pesky Cape was
away astarn Of u.s."
And now as TO Capt. Tyler's notion about
currency matters" he says that ma
ional Currency aad " State Currency
cugh, TO be Of tina, na,nr-that will work
togelher-jusi as a National Latr and
State LQp works together-he don't sanl
TO SEQ a " National Currency destroy
good State Currency, no more than be
wants TO see National Law destroy gOod
State Law; but If any State Currency !:
not gnod-then good National Currency
ough, 10 destroy il jus, a, bad State Law
ought to be destroyed by a good NatIona
Law. Law and Currency, he says, art
pretty much one and the same thing IN ont
respect--that 10, we must have AGtieaG
Lars for ell the States, and State Lac
for each particular S,ate-Just as We mus
have a good National Currency for the u.s.
Of Government; and folks who trade AM
travel over all The States. and good Stat
Currency 10 every Stale for those who dea
only in their own State, any man using boil
or ei,her according to their notions or no
cessilies-b but to say that folks in any par
'icular Sinte shall use National Currenc,
aud 90, their own State Currency--or 81
ixiag National Currency, as TO uHneeesSg
riiy lnjIre coed State Currency" i
seems to me-" saws he" that II would
be about the same thing as 10 SO shape Ma
ti0HGi Ldr as TO prevent folks from using
their own good State Laus. Now" say.
We, my notion and desire - SO TO shape
this National Currency matter as TO mak'
il work 10 harmony with all good State Cur
rency, and then all things will 20 smooth
The General Government must bAEe sas
, bridge to 70 over all the streams IN iht
J Unon-that is constitutional. and there /
no objection 10 let all the folks 10 al III
States 90 over The same bridge If they 8
desire Il but 70 say that they must gouye
our bridge, or SO fix or bridge as to max
! Il impossible for them 10 pass over by az
{ Of their own, is not constitutional, neither
! It constitutional for any Of the States TO sa
y that the General Government shsn't bull
lhis bridge for its own safe crossing 10 an
Of the States, because the General Cover
. Heui, (Which belongs 10 all the people
must have safe crossing place at any rat
. and as the General G0yerument cea'i II
gulato the building Of State Bridges nc
= their toll gates, It must look to is osn saf'
e ~ and build bridge Of its own. and sal
e ard strong enuf for It's own crossing and a
creation besides, if they cbUse TO use 1t az
: don't lpjure it. And now says he, :"
2 Congress can't fix this Currency matter
J on this principle II aint my fault--,bis
the chart and cumpus.' Says no Mao
the Constitution points odt for my guide, az
:. # We leave that tack we may perhaps has
