cal, one OF the buttresscs Of the party,
comes forward with the proposal to
cheat the national creditors by paying
the interest in currency instead Of gold.
1t is true, indeed, and we gladly record
the fact, that the public journals of the
party have instantly denounced this
amazing act Of folly. Nothing less than
a great manifestation Of popular disap.
