Mr.. SHERWIN moved that the vote bv

Mr.. WARREN, on leave, offered the fol-
lowing joint resolutions. which were laid
on the table and ordered to be printed:
l. Resolued By the General assembly of the
State of Ohio, That by the law and justice
of the case, the United States five-twenty
bonds are payable in United States legal
tender notes. zei}Jf s5a lscf lv~ Z
a.s Q. Resotued, That said bonds ought to be
a { IA oan ho xx,;f
too great expansion of the currency. That
the degree of expansion proper to be es-
tablshed and kept up while the National
and State debts are being paid is that un-
der which these debts was mainly created,
having reference always to the Increasing
business of the country; that the contrac-
ton that has been made far below this
proper point. is wrong upon the tax pay
ers, whilst an expansion beyond the same
point, would be wrong upon the bond
holders. -Atte
g. Resolued. That the National bank note
circulation ought to be retired by law and
United States legal tender notes substitu-
ted, and henceforth there should be but
two kinds of money authorized In the
country, to-wit 1: Coin and United States
legal tender paper money, and every other
kind should be prohibited by act of Con-
gress.
A. Resolred, That contracts for the pay
ment of coin are contrary to sound public
policy. as they tend to produce deprecia-
tiOn of the paper money, and tnereby lay
the foundation for money speculation, and
therefore such coin contracts ought not to
be legalized. fti 1a ~
8. Resolced, That all the propositions in
Congress known as funding schemes,
whereby it Is proposed to convert the five
twenty bonds into gold bonds, in consid-
Grafton of longer time aud reduced rate OF
interest, are Objectionable and odious in the
extreme. -rs...,l.
6. Resolved, That all attempts to hasten
the resumption OF specie payments upon
the United States legal tender notes by fix
ing time certain foI such resumption, are
wholly nncalied for, and can only tend to
i'm pair the national credit
z. Resolued, That the Governor be requt 8 :
ell to cause copy OF the foregoing reso-
lGtions to be presented as a memorial to
each branch of the National Congress. asa..
