From tho So. Lofts Heputtcan
Tho conjecture that thoro would bo an UNDER
standing between the two Conrontiops fIllinoiu
md Indaua] and TINT they would bpeAts With
the sanle voice mud to tho Bamo purpose, proves
to havo been nacnloulntion. Ihero MAS no
such understanding. rho two Conyontions spoko
with two diDeront voices, and to TWO diverse
PURPOSES. The Illinois Republicans doclnlo for
specie payment; tho Indianh Republicans de-
na1ld morn currency. Both. indeed, declare for
froe banhins. but it n,akes all tho difference in
founded on. The Illinois nopubllcans, in do
mallding return to spacia payment at tho oarii-
est practicable dny imply aEod basis for it; the
Indiana Republicans Oh the other hand, in de-
imply an indefinitely irrcdeomablo paper
basis; and the two arc as vide apart as tho
poloB. Tho Indiana resolution On FREQ banking
was oyiaoltly drawn up by Q blacksmith ilnan-
cier. It demands that tho Traditional amount
Of currency ehall 10 "distributed between tho
SECTIONS according to population" What "uoc-
tious" aro meant7 Thore are no sections known
to our laws, and il the conventional divisions
North, South, East, and West are roforled to, It
IL impossible to doiluo thofn, and impossible also
resolution mennt States, iustead Of sectons, why
did it not say 60? Again tho resolution do
claroB for FREQ banking with an allotment Of cur
rellcy proportloned to population: but what sort
Of flee banking is that which torbds Mnssachu::

TluB these two Conventions (lllippiB md

takablo rnAuner approved and adopted tho policy

lheir opinions as thny haye right to do, about
tie new questions which have afisen. and do so
without ofronao to anybody who may hold differ
cut opinions. As there is no possibility now in
those States Of any other tickot except Domo-
cratic, based upon the idea that no lncreaBo Of
Republicans who advocate that view will quietly
a"Ait future opportunities Of making their opin-
ions felt, ~ they wlll also havo perfect right TO
do, aud will meanwhile giyo hearty support to
the Republican ticlsots non nominated.
