rleam of wisdom that has OvcrtakCn them
during period of nearly twenty years
They have virtually abandoned the ne

resolution protesting not against the Fit-
tecnth Amendment, but against the law
recently passed by Congress to enforce 1t.
The other resolutions Of the convention
relate to the tariff, the public debt, und
the currency. In reference to the litter
subject, they 90 for substituting green
backs for national bank notes, in tacc 0t

Court that n legal tender currency can be

be held in the sinking and special funds in

$50 deducted from the aggregate amount
Of the per cent gold interest debt on
March |, 1869, shows that It has been re-

Of It's total amount per annum,
leaving the aggregate amount Of
q per cent gold interest debt now outstand-
ing, $1,770,73O,5OO. The present opera
ti6ns of the Treasury in buying up the
5.2Os do not reduce the annual burden Of
interest to be paid by taxation. Tho bonds
are merely held in the Treasury, and the
interest collected on them by the Treas
urer, us it would be collected by any other
bOndhOlder, only that the proceeds are
ruinvcstcd in bonds. Al the rate Of pur-
chascs during the last fifteen months, the
whole remaining $1,77O,73G,50O Of 6 per
cent gold interest debt of the United
States would be bought in by the Treas
ury in about fifteen years. II is, however,
not at all probable that this rate Of pur-
chasing could continue long. These pur-
cllascs would, in short time, absorb all
the bonds in the market, and large pro-
portion being held by foreign capitalists,
who hold them for investment, they could
not be bought except ut above par in gold,
At such II point, therefore, the Treasury
purchases would necessarily cease. But
