Some Of the whig presses and their correspond
ents attempting to depreciate the value Of treas.
ury notes. We see occasional paragraphs tha,
they are 2, 3, perhaps per cent. below par. This
is gross mistake, if not Misrepresentation. We
understand that they arc at par in Philadelphia,
New York, &c. They were below par for short
time at New Orleans, because. the city banks
there refused to receive them at par But the ecre-
tary of the Treasury soon put everything to rights
by nstructing 4" the collector of customs in that
city and other United States receivers of public
Dues to discontinue the receipt of the notes of the
city banks and accept only gold and silver or treas
ury notes." Thus plainly telling them sour notes
are as good yours. If you will not take ours,
we will not take yours" 2dy. By issuing cir
cuar on the llth September, making ''a treasury
notes, as well before as after maturity, redeem
able here (at Washington) at the treasury of the
United States in specie or ia sight drafts of the
Treasurer of the United States, equivalent to specie
and payable in specie, drawn at his option, upon
Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, or the
public repositories at such other places as may be
mutually agreed upon" the Secretary of the Treasury
dsspated all doubts about their par value. But it
would be strange, indeed, if any attempt to run down
the treasury notes should prove successful, when
there have not been two millions of dollars of them
yet thrown into circulation.
