Specie Payment IS.

The subject of specie payments is very
actively discussed. Mr.. ROBERT ]. WALK
era played out politician whom nobody
would listen to-has entered the arena,
and in one of his very long winded letters
earnestly advocates the prompt resump-
ton of specie payments. The President,
in his able message, puts in few words on
the same subject, and wants the paper
circulation to be redeemed in coin at an
early day.
This is all talk, and talk to no purpose.
Specie payments can't be redeemed until
the country is at peace and confidence is
thoroughly restored. We say now, what
will be found to be true. that specie pay
mcnts can never be RESUMED in this coun-
try until the Union is restored according
to the Constitution, and the white man is
placed over the destinies Of the southern
States. As long as Radical. misrule and
negro domination lasts there will be no
confidence, no prosperity, and no specie
payments. Mark the prediction.
When the arrangement Of the financial
or political affairs Of q nation has brought
about suspension of specie payments,
that nation may be likened to sick man,
who cannot resume his business until he
is restored to health and strength. He
must pass through all the stages of his
disease, and not only become convalescent,
but he must gradually grow in strength
until he is fairly himself again before he
can resume his occupation. So must
the nation entirely recover before it re-
sumes specie payments. Were she to
resume tomorrow, in the midst Of the fever
and deierium that prevail, she would be
forced to fall back to suspension and pa
tiently await the entire recovery. The
disasters of war have been succeeded by
the plague of the "black DEATH" which
casts its gloom over the whole nation. Until
these disasters are somewhat repaired, and
until the dark clouds of this horrible
plague are lifted up from the land, there
will be no specie payments-no peace-no
con6dence-no thrift-no happiness-no
harmony-no Union
