Of many Of our leading financiers. The
direct question is, by what method may
we most speedily come back to specie

have been given this question, there art
or may be found many serious object

We hold however, that treason should
have its penalty and carnot conscien-

participated in rebellion should be res-
tored to their normal condition in tive
Union, exercise the same, and in most
portions ofNthc lcvolted States, more
pocer than accrues to those who were
true to the country, who fought and
conquered that they might WELD the
rights guaranteed to fIeemen by our
Constitution. There Is no provision for
this, no ackno Rledgement of disabilities
incurred by the secession OF the South,
in these propositions. This is one reason
why they will not prove acceptable to
the North.
