The Lansing state Republican. [volume] (Lansing, Mich.) 1855-1874, 1861-09-11

The public are sufficiently intelligent TO know
that this resolution ID totally unlike any and oil
the resolutions embraced in the Crittenden Com.
promise which gained such notoriety during the
last regular session of Congress, and that it il
adapted to entirely different eircumstances.-
Whether it at all resembles the "suggestions" ad-
vanced by the Albany Journal as basis Of SET
Element, We leave its own record to answer.
Turther.-We venture the assertion that there
ID not principle laid down or . position taken
in this resolution, which the republican party
ever repudiated, or which would not have been
readily and unanimously endorsed BY the repub-
lican members of Congress at any time during
the last regular session of that body.
The resolution 90 unanimously passed at that
time by the House of Representatives Was tai
stronger and much more explicit upon the slave
~ questionable great question involved, than
is the Crittenden Resolution which the Journal
quotes so approvingly; yet that paper has the
hardihood to say that the resolution was voted
for now by the representatives who loudly and
| vehemently denounced it last winter" Such
gross miscellaneous, to use the mhoest possioie
terms, coming from the source they do, can hard
| " be permitted apology or excuse.
The Journal has been quite explicit in it;
charges-we regret it has not been equally so in
declaring its own views. The traitors under the
garb of conpromisers who presented the ultmat
um of Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina
demanded of us two things. First The Consti
st;tutional recognition of property in man. Sec
ond. The pledge that force should not be EN-
ployed in quelling the insurrection of the Cotton
States.
Would the Albany Journal have conciliatet
the Border States" by the acceptance of thest
propositions, or has it, in the observation
from which we have quoted, only attempted ::
stab those with whom it seems about to par
coupapv9

The National Loan.

The loan made by the Government for war pur-
poses is already becoming popular as circulating
medium. Based upon the most reliable security
it is possible to obtain, and possessing an equal
value wherever it is circulated in the country, it
must become most desirable for this purpose.
A Washington correspondent, speaking upon
this subject, says: "There are othe- considera-
tons, which in a short time will be apparent,
which make general investment in the Govern
ment loan highly desirable. Within the next six
months it is probable that an addition of $780,.
600, 900 will be made to the paper circulation OF
the country, through the issue by the Govern
ment of the IS and $40 demand notes. This Is
nearly double the crculatiol OF all the Banks OF
more than the combined circulation of ell the
Banks in all the New England States, aud about
fourteen millions more than the aggregate circu.
lation of the Western States. No such addition
to the circulation of Country ever took place
without causing general initiation of prices, ard
q speculative tendency. The absorption of the
idle capital of the country in the $40 Treasury
Notes will have tendency to regulate this, and
to keep in check the headlong movement which
the first few months of restored confidence and
renewed prosperity will generate.
zone result of this issue of Treasury Notes,
payable on demand, will doubtless be to drive out
Of circulationthe currency Of some Of the West
ern States, and to substitute sound and healthy
circulating medium for the worthless trash Of
Wild Cat Banks, and to this extent the issue
of paper money will furnish its own correction
and remedy.
"A circulating medium more convenient than
gold, and everywhere current, will by this means
be furnished, based on real deposits Of specie.
