expounder of the Constitution OF the

Il am certainly of opinion that Gold
and Silver at fixed rates by Congress

gold and silver coin to be the money or
The consI.tutiOn-indeed the money OF
The American people, anterior TO the
constitution" Also, mo power was
conferred on Congress TO declare that
either metal should not be mon y. con-
gress has, therefore, in my judgment,
no more mower to demonetize silver than
TO dsmonctize gold"

can exhibit no such ind.virua! fortunes

The Democratic party must recognize
this fact that the very men who have

more than Judas's treachery are now
making their bargains 10 sell it out to
their deadly enemy.
This promises TO be the most trying.
