Ia few weeks he American Congress will again

son, opposed The Financial Plan Of The President a
change of mind has taken place since they haze been
among their constituents and inhaled sr sh country

ishmenl of unlimited money power, for whc ever
the pponenls OF the President denounced his vetoes

point at issue at the poi they w'Te beaten by very
large mojoritles and consequently i, must be admitted
that the of the President in this respect was
ratified by the voice of the People.
The first object to be taken into consideration at

the erection of Financial Agent to regulate and

dent Tyler, and fully convinced that in a

and even taken in preference of silver gold. This
plan is entirely free of constitutional objections and
the dangers of National Bonk We are thoroughly
convinced that very large majority of the People OF
the u States are 10 favor of the Financial Plan as
reported to the House by the Hon. Caleb Gushing;
and to we hear the People tell their Rep
resenalves in Congress pass 1t without delay 1t Is,
opinion, the only remedy for the restoration OF
