V ' i Trusting this arrangement will suit the convenience of the officers, and Kalntjj generally, and that there will be a! punctual attendance at all the meet- to which you are hereby invited, We remain your Brethren, r p the omcers i j i i i j v . i b, John Titlob, pronounced essential to the safety of the nation and demanded by the exigencies of the times. The court agreed that, "Acts may be adapted to the exercise of lawful power and appropriate to ft in seasons of exigency which would be Inappropriate at other times." But now the Supreme .Court' decides that,whethef ia war dr peace, whether there laor is not a 'public exigency, Congress has the constitutional power to issue legal tender notes and that witboutlimit. This is a complete and entire reversal of the decision of 1870. If the highest tribunal in the land is infallible in its decisions, here are two ' exactly opposite rulings, each Infallible, and to differ with either of which, , logic, according to would be "impudent" and "disloyal" and "treasonable." - Not only did many commercial, men oppose the first of these decisions of the Supreme Court, but lawyers of expert- ence .dissented fromi it. " When the Court took summersault, a still greater expression of disapproval was heard nd now the disapprobation of both legal and financial experts la still greater and more widely expressed, The annexed paragraph from the Chicago News indicates the feeling which haa Veen aroused : v, ; "The easternnress is as unanimous in denouncing the decision of the Supreme Court as the court was unanimous in It.

When Oiiver to them that perhaps Joseph suggested had not got them, they replied angrily : We know he has, for we have seen the place on the hill where he got t ...... s,.. them." Mr. Whitmer, continuing his narrative, said : "Soon after this, Oliver concluded to go and see Joseph and learn all he could about the matter, and promised to write and tell me the result of his inquiries, o about the beginning of April, 1829, he went to Harmony, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, where Joseph had gone to get away from his enemies, and to escape those who were trying to get the plates from him. for he was told bv the personage who gave him charge of said plates, that if he should let them go carelessly, or, through negligence, be should be cut off.
