From inability to borrow money, farmers cannot stock and supply their farm, tm-fhanirs are deterred from embarking in manufacturing enterprises or hindered in prosecuting thoc already begun, merchunts cannot nvet their obligations and must close busine-i". For lack of money, which can only be brought into the State by a repeal of that time-honored relic of old fogyisui, the usury law, the agriculture, trade and manufactures of the Slate languish. The abova facts are known ta.thcXtiilaiurc but the MtajurUy of the mou tiers being from t5q country, and being possess ed by an overwhelming apprehension that if the cli iu' ot lorrowing money is given lu theui and their constituetiU, their hinds w ill be got awWfrtr,ThrWffi needod relief.

Somo spendthrifts would part w ith their patri- uioniin, but the wise sand irogai, who constitute the mass of onr people, won kl prosper. That Northern capital awaits only the repeal of the usury law to seek investment here is no bar assertion : we nave tacts before na upon winch we make the posit! vo declaration. Wc could fill our paper with instances of far mers compelled to sell thur landa because they ctinnoc raise money upon xucin to mase uiem available; of merchants and mechanics who must close business for the same reasoa but-' sucrr a display would tie useless, aa we oouin not hope that it would impress more deeply upon the minds of our lcg'alatora the necessity of taking some action to let into tho Corffon wealth the vital stream of prosperity money, The Texas State Convention, ' 1 Nnw Orleans, Feb. 13.

In this I hay not been disappoint ed.' But at the same time, i wa aware that the responsibility rested on the General Assem bly to provide some means to sustain the credit of the State, to pay the current expenses ot the government, to devise ways and means to meet the existing liabilitiee of the government and .ion tn nmviilc a State Currency. These are the great objects we all have in view, and f more responsible duty has seldom restot on a Legislative body. . Mr. Speaker, it eceme clew to my tuind, that, to effect these great objects, wo must at once adopt some sound system of financial policy to rir itiA State's credit. Currency is to some ' Li . !....!.

So we sec that more or less, curren cy is an imaginary thing ; and from eighty to one hundred millions of the precious metals in the United States form the basis on which our currency rests. A largo portion of that la locked up in the vaults of the banks.. Still on this foundation a suffl. ciency of paper currency is issued to carry oh the 'large transactions of the government and the people.

But if the heart becomes diseased or the channels of the blood obstructed, and tho phvsician fails to restore the patient, b rtiew.TrwtreirrerTf'the- State is-rfs heart; " - The Convention passed an ordinance repudu i ating the former currency. itcutontuc mo blood from tliat department of government aliout ten or twelve millions of currency was lost to the people of the State, and it will re turn no more, forever. Senators, vou arc the .physician., tliat . must, restore the jife-blcod to our political system I . - - i " If tfie returning blow given to Iho credit of the State be renewed by this Legislature, the future prospects of our people are gloomy in deed. We must restore public confidence not only in the State but euf of it. Let us come square up to tha issue and provide ways and means to meet present liabilities, anfl give the people a cjirrcnrjy Jhat wil hve credit jjll over the State arid that will appreciate State: securi ties and restore public confidence. Mr. Speaker, owing to the disorganized con dition of labor the people of the State need iadulgence they want time to sow, to reap; and .to dig from the soil the equivalents to gold and silver. Unless thia indulgence ia given, the future, I repeat, ia filled with gloom. After much reflection, sir, I am satisfied the bill un der consideration will accomplish all that is ne cessary. But the opponents of this bill entertain a dif ferent view. They say it will depreciate the credit of the State. They sa&tbat holders of coupons wouia noi exenange mem lor me email treasury bonds, or in other words, that they would hold on to paper evidences or Btate in debtedness, bearing no interest, rather than ex change them for small bonds, which they could loan out to individuals, with good security and receive the lawful interest of the Stata. Owing to the want of a circulating, medium, these amall treasury bonds would at once be in great demand and would soon become current all over tho State. - - Another objection urged is that InimuclT aa they are receivable for all public dues, there wonld be paid into the Treasury too many of them and too little of other currency to meet the ordinary expenses of the State government. -True, a considerable portion of the taxes would be paid m these bonds, but I also believe that enough of other currency-would -also be paid into the Treasury to meet current expenses. Tbos. I hold, that two great obiccts would be accomplished-the State would be provided with a currency and its ordinary expenses li quidates. : . 1 But- Mr. Sneaker, there are Senators who take the extraordinary position that as thufVih- vention repudiated the war debt dne onr own J citirens, the Legislature should repudiate the ante-war debt due mostly to foreigners. This is a false position. The Convention embodied tx itwearjTtnmceTnax iTWitarjetiie duty of the T . . , . . . I .

This is the organic law f tne land and should be obeyed by the Legisla ture, anq li n mi is aneajrjr!p rent, uoon (uia mar.. - Such disregard for organic law will re nest the stunning blow given to the State's credit by the Convention. - - Bepndiation I regard ..as the most fatal step tbe State has taken since adopt ing thtxordinanc of eeceasion. It took from the ppeketa of the eopla-aome.icn.-or twly; millions of money, and has left ns without si circulating medium. Are the people to be left In this straightened condition ? . i A great common wealth, extending over an area of 45,300 square mUea with one million 'nmta,ta' ".b-lft-rivaot sr -efWrencyf . 1 ' ur,uro o.uBMjr diskb up tneir minas, lei mem rememoer tne nigh position we once occupied in financial circles. A own i. sponsibility rests ttpon na to restore our State to ner pronct position before the world, and to re lieve our people. It is high time wa wnrw ma. touring ome nw consi aeration meets too emergency. But I can say to Senators, that I will support any other propofHioa mar, win relieve tne people in tneir present condition which is wretched indeed.
