The balance Of the argument VI " veritas"

Of the Treasury has made this same admission, w

since, The Secretary Of the Treasury and Che whole
vince every body that Confederate bonds and Con.
tolerate notes were g good az gold, and all honest
and innoctht ifoldtn 6fthe same received them at
NAT rate The banks OF the Confederacy brokers
aud money dealers generally, liquidated their bills
receivable In Confederate notes, and everything
seemed to work well until Congress and the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury began TO deprcciate and repu
ury. or any Of his agents, now say TO the innocent
holder Of notes taken upon theirsoem assurances,
= have failed in every promise have made, and
deceived IN every instance where confidence has
been bestowed. The money you hold ia only worth
ten dollars in hundred, instead OF par. We have
fooled you out Of half the specie you had--we want
TO worm aud extort the balance" Is this the way
Tor high government official to act Does this
give confidence to the doubling or stability to the
wavering as to our ultimate success : Does it not
firm au immense fulcrum by which the weak-knee
supporters aud enemies OF the Contederacy may
seek to oyerturn the fabric
Spectators and government thieves can afford to
pay 10 per cent. tax upon what they hold, but hon
est men Who in their daily transactions have taken
. dollar in Confederate money for goods, labor or
wares they have sold or furnished at SPECIE prices
can never cxtol the government or its agents, who
dlch from them as taxes, by chcanery and deceit,
all the Interestas well as portion Of the principal,
annually.
Again, we say, our complaint against Secretary
Memminger and his agents. is, that BIZ bis instruc.
lions they depreciating ourcurrency nlhe opin-
ion Of our enemies and not sustaining the promises
they caused us and others to make months since.
