How Shall We Get a Specie Currency!
In view Of the fact that the currency question is
the only question Of State policy which is at all like
y to present itself prominently before the people in
the next campaign, and il consideration Of the fur
Their fact that ell the political signs indicate con
tinusBoe Of democratic supremacy in Tennessee, 1t
becomes the imperative duty Of the democracy to
prepare themselves for faithful and a successful
discharge Of the important duties which this con-
tinusnce will develOve upon them. The first step
towards this preparation is TO mature The plan when
will best secure the fair and full application Of he
currency principles Of the party. For we take it
for granted that the ultimate return to specie cur
Tency is well settled principle in the creed OF the
Tennessee democracy. The road by which We are
TO return, has not, however been determined. Upon
this question there exists quite difference Of opn-
ion, several plans have been suggested. and each,
doubtless. has its friends. The question, however,
is not a vital one, and involves no principle. We
presume therefore, that every democrat standsresdy
yield up his fav0rite plan, add TO submit 10 the
judgment of he majority.
Justice to our principles and to thelifgren plans
suggested, requires tbst each plan should be fully
and freely discussed and considered, In al such
discussions the utmost harmony AMI good feeling
should prevail and each participant should bear II
mind that we consult friends and cO~laborers in
one common cause, in the success Of which al sre
alike interested. As for ourselves shall cOntln-
ue to advocate and to urge the adoption of that plan
a legitimate, and a successful Inauguration Of
specie currency. While We give own views fully
and freely, shall refrain from any ill-rafured re-
Elections or anything which can be construed into
dictstion
According to cur Judgment, better basis Of ac-
ton be framed than that suggested in the reso-
utions adopted by democratic meeting held in
Nashville some time since These resolutions we
published az the time but some o. our readers
may not have them at hand, We re~publsh them;
Tsee Resolutions above.
The plan herein laid down is eminently moderate
and conservative 1t admits the impractIcabiliy Of
au immediate liquidation of the Bank; il recognises
the necessity for some paper money, to meet the
necessities Of the people, while the hard money is
returning into circulstioH il infruges upon char
tered rights; it creates no agitation ia the finance Of
the country it begins the reform gradually, thereby
giving time for the people to prepare for he change;
it carries it on justly by allowing each Banks chsr-
ter to designate the time when it shall be wound up
For these general reasons it is that We prefer this
plan.
