Comptroller of the State, and for which
the State holds collaterals, for which she,
herselfi is ultimately bound, the democracy,
with one voice, voted it down. Now, it is
a fact which scarcely admits of controversy,
that the paper of free banks secured, as
contemplated by Mr. RICHARDSON'S amend
ment, is the best of all the bank paper of
the State, except the bank of the State
itself, for whose issues the State is also
bound. But the democracy refuses to pro-
vide by law that it shall be received for
taxes. This would be, of course, tanta-
mount, to prohibition of all bank paper,
and restriction to specie.
In order to test the sincerity of the de-
mocracy upon this principle, Mr. WHITE, of
Knox, Immediately offered an amendment,
that, after the Ist. January, 1859, the State
taxes should be paid in gold and silver
This, they likewise voted down, with ex-
traordinary unauimity We desire the
State to observe this strangely inconsistent
action-for while it presents a most humil-
iating abandonment of the ''specie basis
professions Of that party, it is clear and
overwhelming proof that they do not mean
to give the people that currency which
they are so zealously and DANGEROUSLY ad
Vocating. 1t is species of legislative thin
ble-rigging, which candid and upright
constituency, when made aware of it, will
not tolerate

The specie IBasis-Dc IncEnceF-


fly.
If any line of policy has prominently
characterized the course of the democratic
members of the Tennessee Legislature, it
is that which they have termed "specie
basis" The idea couched in this indefinite
phrase is the liquidation and the final alb
clifton of all banks in this State, and the
use of an exclusively specie currency.
This line of policy was marked out by Ex-
Gov. johnson in his last message, and the
only diversity of democratic opinion yet
manifested upon it, is as to the time,
when this, as they say, desirable object
shall be contaminated. They have protested
most earnestly, throughout all their lengthy
bank discussions in the Legislature, that
this was the goal at which they were aim
ing. But we expect the whole truth to
be, that being in an overwhelming MAORI
ty in both branches of the General Assem-
bly,, and the arrangement of the currency
coming on about the time Of their meeting,
they feel it incumbent on them TO DO some
thing for a suffering constituency. They
accordingly profess an exuberant interest
in the popular welfare, and while they hold
out the idea, that they desire to give the
people a substantial uniform, unfluctua-
ting circulating medium, their real inten-
ton is TO modify the existing statutory
bank regulations. and leave the country as
much afflicted as ever.
A very clear evidence Of this intention
was exhibited in the discussion in the
House of Representatives yesterday. Mr..
RIcHARDsoN offered an amendment to the
bill which has been pending for several
weeks, authorizing the collectors Of the
public taxes 10 receive in payment of the
same. the notes Of all free banks that had
deposited bonds with the Comptroller, TO
the amount OF 20 per cent above their cir
culation Although this was ahording the
State the amplest security, by the payment
of Taxes, in smoney, certified to by the
