The New York World Of the sth inst.
thinks the national lunacy on the gold
| question is one of the most extraordinary
and costly Authorizations that ever haunted
the brain of nation or individual" The
World says:
"When the national lunacy for getting
rid Of its geld in the shortest possible space
of time and at the lowest possible price has
passed away, (the writer IL eertsinl none
will be more astonished than the nation
itself at this curious infatuatiou. The gov
eminent and national banks, backed by the
popular feeling ever since the passage OF
the legAl-tender act in February, 1862,
have run a race with each other "a to
which could sell their gold the quickest
and the cheapest. 10 the crisis of 1866, in
London, our Secretary Of the Treasury
stepped into the gold market and sold about
S4O,OOOOOO of the peoples gold at thirty
i've points below its real market value and
the price which it afterwards reached, for
no other conceivable result than that of
saving our great commercial rival, the
bank OF England, from suspension. The
government has an outstanding paper Girl
Guiation OF S46S 600, 900, and the NaliOna
Dan. banks 80, So0O,0OO 600, making a total Of
SfoS,VVV,VOO OF paper money promises TO
pay on demand, which they profess to Re
Wiling az some time or other 10 redeem in
gold. Secretary McCulioeh promised in
his official report TO Congress that the COW
eminent would resume specie payments on
July /, 1865, one month ago. Now n
either the government or banks ever had
any serious intention of redeeming in gold
their paper promises, would they not have
kept their gold and accumulated & stock
thereof, instead Of selling their surplus
almost as soon as received ? IF govern
ment desired 10 Increase the stock OF cold

all its power and influence to make gold

lnnacy And is it not the same thing "a

Muse, 8; Hughes, As. Harrison was de-

then made unanimous.
/ A motion was made that the convention
proceed to nominate a candidate for the
State at large.
Senator Spence remarked that the con
vention had no right TO nominate a Com
gresham for the State at large, declaring
that the population of Tennessee did moi
| justify such action, ard that If such Con-
gresham was elected he would not be adj
mitted to Congress.
Colonel BroWnlow thought otherwise,
suggesting that'he enfranchisement of forty
| thousand negroes was the ground fer the
| contemplated action.
Colonel Stokes said emphatically that
! II a Congressman for the State at large
was elected, he would not be admitted,
because the House had already decided
the question adversely in parallel case.
Should Tennessee be favored, all the other
Southern States would be clamoring for
additional Representatives, which the
North would certainly not tolerate Con

on the table, Lost.
The resolution was lost after division
