with coin without creating widespread bank
Iuptcy, which an attempt to enforce the re-
sumption act will inevitably produce. Our
paper money should be appreciated to par
with coin by rectifying the defects in our mon
etaIy system, and by producing general pros;
perity, and not by creating general prostration
Of business, and BY robbing debtors to enrich
creditors, under the hypocritical cry Of honesty.
TO tx an arbitrary time for specie payments is
as absurd IS it would be to fix day for pa
tents recovery: In either case it is impossi
bic to foretell the requisite time. We there
fore ask for the immediate and unconditional
repeal Of the resumption act, ana demand that
ali similar trifing with the interests OF the ma!
ton for political purposes b. branded Is 1
crime against humanity.

following constitution which was unani-

We are opposed to the plan inaugur-
ated by congress for the resumption of
specie payments in three years. by with.
drawing from circulation the greenbacks
upon which we pay no interest and SUBJ
shutting in lieu thereof, national bank
notes on which we would he taxed to
pay over twenty million dollars annu-
ally, for many years. That the ma
ton has the sole right to create money,
whether the same be gold, silver, cop
per or paper, and we are opposed to the
delegation OF that power to any COM
bination Of citizens, and especially are
we opposed to paying such citizens a
bonus OF over twenty million dellars an
nually for TIE privilege Of creating such
money, for their own use and benefit,
and therefore we are in favor OF the
withdrawal OF the nationa. bank cur.
rency and the issuance in their stead
of government notes or greenbacks. That
we are IL favor Of making the green
backs u legal tender, Tor all monetary
purposes except the interest and prin

an officer of court or district should

imprisou men who we're left power

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE
FOR CONGRESS-.

The Republican Convention last
Thursday at Wytheville nominated
Col. Geo. T. Egbert, Of Abingdon,
for Congress. The contest be
tween him and A. II. Flanagan, of
Montgomery, was quite close, Col.
Egberts' majority being only two
votes. Flanagan was the member
of the Underwood Convention
from that county. Col. Egbort is
a gentleman against whom there
could be no personal objection
He is very well liked by the pco-
pie Of the county. Politically, he
must be classcd with his party, and
his vote in the county and the dis
trict will be about that cast for
Hayes.
1t is folly to presume that he
will not get the solid vote of the
Republicans, and it now remains
to be seen how solidly the Demo-
Gratis will adhere to their nomina-
ton. Will our readers please re,
member that in the last Presiden-,
tial election Virginia voted for
Grant 2 Mosby and his fellow
radicals claim the State to-day for
Hayes. Shall we disorganize in
the face of an organized enemy [?
Those who doubt the demoralizine
and disorganizing effect of supports
ing an independent candidate for
Congress will please read the man,
ly and patriotic letter of Col. |. b.
Dunn, to be found on our first
page. 1t broathes the true spirit
of Democracy and has the right
ring. In fact we regard it as un-
answerable, Now let us close up
the ranks solidly for Tilden, Hen,
bricks and Pridemore.
