THE NEW SILVER coINAeE.-So. II.

Messrs. EDIToRs: In discussing the charge against
Mr. HUNTERS bill-that it violates the obligation
Of contracts-let us, in order to make the subject
more simple suppose that the value Of an ounce Of
gold is twenty dollars, and Of an ounce Of silver one
dollar, and their relative value consequently one to
twenty.
In signing the agreement for ground rent, either
perpetual or for term Of years, for one thousand
dollars, though this annual rent was expressed IN
dollars the parties to it, both the lessor and lessee would
mutually understand that this meant under the above
assumed and relative value Of the two meas either fifty
Of gold thousand ounces Of silver at their
present standard hneness Congress- however should
reduce the neness Of either the weight Of the coin,
and still continue II legal tender, such law would
evidently violate the obligation Of this contract But II
the change is made in one species Of con slver and IL
