Neither i3 spproval confined to those who favor both remonctization and re- peal, but the projected Convention has been fndorsed by muny who alvecato one or the other of these steps, belleving it cssentlal to he wellure and prosperity of the country, A Iree aud cordial fnterchanzeof opiuton on these points is desired, in order that the views of the people of Illinots on these pututs may Le nade known, The date designated Is two ilays preceding the opuning of the session of Cougress at the civse of the holiday recess, wlen the considera- tion of the Remonetization and Reveal bills will be resumed, 1t is therefore o favorable time fur puttine in form the views of the people of tnis State in o way to excreise an fufluence upon the las-mnking department of the Guyernment at Washington.
