not be supposed that Constitution which
only recognizes gold and silver coin as

the several Siales has conferred upon the

the time of the adoption of the Con stituiion,

To suppose that the Scpreme Court OF

held gold and silver 10 be the currency Of
the government, will recognize "green-

is to suppose an absurdiiy. The Constitu.

The law is clearly in violation of the Con-
