latcn and to prepare to Substitute for II new notes
based on the security Of United States honds. That
this would involve conflicts Of authority betwsenthe
general government and the States is clear enough;
and the end Of the quarrel would probably be the
negotiation by government Of 3 six per cent loan
at the best market price We learn this evening
that the views of the eminent 6nanciers whom MT
Chase has called into his counsels coincide so FAR
as thls-namely. that If q loan can be negotiated
at anything like reasonable rates 1t should be
attempted in preference to further issues Of United
States notes, which would infallibly cause further
depreciation Of the currency. further advance in
goid and simultaneous advance in the price o.
all articles consumed by the government aud the
people. The people may be congratulated on the
prospect OF the defeat of the spectators, and the
restoration Of our national finances to a sound
footing

and goes back to the state, with long
list of charges against it, where it lies,
unproductve, dead property.
Now, no one will ever buy this land,
and pay the price at which it was ap-
praised and the charges against it. 1t is
a fictitious valuation, and must be wiped
ont some time, and the sooner the better,
both for the interest Of The people and
the state. 1t cannot be sold rs it is, and
unless tho valuation is reduced, it will
continue to remain worthless and unpro-
ductive to the state, and o bar to the
growth and prosperity of the counties

lands! We ask you, gentlemen, to take
such action rs will do justice to the set
