in their day, " they are only true to
themselves, should inspire them with
national pride. All divisions, geo.
graphical, political and religious, can
join in this common sentiment. How
the public debt is TO be paid, or specie !
payments resumed, is not so impor
tant as that a plan should be adopt
ed and acqucseed in. A united de- !
termination TO do is worth more than
divided councils upon the method Of
doing. Legislation upon this subject
may not be necessary now or advises
bic, but II will be when the civil law
is more fully restored in all parts Of !
the country and trade resumes its
wontcd channels II will be my Gu
deavor to execute all laws in good !
faith. to collect all revenues assessed,

me very desirable that this question
should he settled now. entertain |
the hope. and express the desire, that
IL may be by tho ratification of the
18th article Of amendment to the |
Constitution.
In conclusion, | ask patient for
bcarance, one toward another,

prayers Of the Nation and the assis-

this consummatiou.
