THE GRIMES BATTERY CLAIM.

Grimes Battery well deserves tho
money 1t is asking at the hands of the
Legisla ture, if the reports of citizens
and others interested can be relied
upon.
at n time when the city was tenn
poratily awe-strlckcn by the news of
yellow fever across the Bay. Grimes
Battery patrolled the shores of the Bay
opposite Old Point at all hours of the
night.
At that time there were rumors and
counter rumors OF people coming over
from Old Point and Phoebus. but
Grimes Battery, under Captain Carey
Il. Warren. offered n premium for the
person that got through. and that pre-
MUM was not collected.
The people had the benefit Of the SER
vices of the Battery, now let the Legis-
lature pay the bill,

DIMINISHING that every Democrat must
accept 1t all. but Inviting the aid Of all
who believed in or favored such parts
as decided them. The majority must
define the measures and select the man,
clearly appears from the Democratic
returns Of that year: 6,5o6,oO0 and over,
for man and platform; only $4,000 for
Palmer and Buckner. Judge Toney
stood by the 6.5o6.OoO then, and he does
SO now,-notwithstandi he favors
gold rather than silver for monetary
purposes. But when did the Demo-
cratic party declare that 1t was founded
in and upon money; or act as IL silver
OR gold. instead Of silver AND gold,
must be the only metallic money? The
Democratic party is now, as ever, for
the money Of the Constitution,-both
silver and gold coin, which the Consti-
tuition also binds the. U. S. to furnish
the States and people with abundance
poses,-for the power given Congress
ito coin money and fix the value there's
OF, and Of foreign coin," imposes con-
slant and solemn duty on Congress to
coin gold AND silver as wanted by the
States, people and the demands Of eX-
change, payment Of debts, &C., as coin
at the date OF forming the Constitution
meant both gold and silver money,-a
duty on Congress only confirmed by
the further constitutional provision
that-"No State shall make anything
but gold AND silver coin q tender in
payment of debts" a solemn engage
ment on the part of the Federal govern
ment to fully coin both metals.
But surely there is no principle in
yolved in the difference between the
metals; nor can any moral question
arise on preference for one, or the
other, or both, as coin, or money, legal
tender, or currency. Both coins existed
at the foundation OF the government,
and the Constitution adopts them But
gold recommendation not only violates
The Constitution, but cheats all but the
gold monopollsts, by making their
metal the exclusive money of ultimate
settlement. by contracting the volume
one-half by discarding silver and thus
doubly enhancing the purchasing pow
err Of gold. But. whoever may be sheep
or goats Us to gold and silver, surely
Judge Toney is right in adhering to a
party and it's principles which existed
before the Republican party was born;
whose mission is the liberty of the peo-
pie, not to solve financial questions,
and which is equally for GOLD AND
SILVER. Judge Toney prefers gold TO
silver; but in standing by the party
that adheres to BOTH, he votes for
gold as we'll as silver-faithful to the
Constitution, loyal to silver and the
people. and true to his party, and its
great principles that transcend all
questions of mere finance and money,
and money-changers.
