and the Government of the People, as in Con.
grcss constitdronalIy expressed, is the main
plank in tho Wing Platform.
9. The currency ofthe people is good enough
currency for the government. The money that
will buy our bread and meat is good enough
money for the salaries of office holders. No
Two mi Ilons seven hundred thousand dollars
locked up in Wall-sreet, as now in the vaults
Of the Sub.Trcasury, and distracted from the

chanic can safely trust their money, there should
the servants of the people trust theirs also!--
