Beck, of Kentucky: On His Resolution to Require the Gold and Silver Coin Received at the Custom-Houses to Be Paid to the Bondholders, and Against Retiring Legal-Tender Notes or Silver CertificatesI think the bondholder violates his promise when he refuses to take the same kind of money he paid for the bonds. If the case is to be tested by law, I am right, if it is to' ul: tested by Jay Cooke's advertisements, I am wrong. I hate repudiation, or any thing like it, but we ought not to be deterred from doing what is right by fear of undeserved epithets.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
