demns the action of the majority in Congress,
cordially endorses the veto, und pledges to the
President the earnest, disinterested sappbrt of
the Indiana Democracy, iu all bis conflicts with
that lanatical Congressional majority. Tho
third resolution believes that Ihe sole power
of Congires over the admission of numbers
is coutined to their election returns and 'qualifi

representatives from eleven States ncknou'leosed
to br in the Union, by having their voices
counted in favor of the ConsUtufilonal Amend

should be immediately admitted; and upon tho
refusal of Congress, it i3 the prerogative aud
duty of the Presided to defend and uphold the
integrity of every State now in the Union, and
to take care that the law3 are faithfully executad.
The lonrth resolution inflexibly opposes a prohi

It will he remembered that the late Copper
head Convention of Pennsylvania, after nomi
nating Mr. Clymer for Governor, passed a reso
lution endorsing the President's policy. A sub
committee was appointed, to come on here and
piesent the resolution iu person. This grateful
mission was essayed a few eveaings since. The
committee were admitted to an audience with
the President, and were proceeding, after the
most approved fashion, to ttssore hitu that
the Democracy of Pennsylvania had de.
signed no empty compliment; that they
had watched his recent action vwith no
ordinary gratification; and that they should
stand by him and his administration so long at -he.so
nobly adhered to the sacred Constitution.
Before the peroration was reached, tho President
broke in upon them with the suggestion that
"the wisest thing tUy could do was to go home
aud change their ticket." He believed that they
had made a fatal mistake in nomiBrjLimr' syoh
a man, especially at this particalar time, with
many other remarks of a similarly encouraging
character. The last seeu of tho Pennsylvania

liREENBACKS VS. UOLO.
The 'most important decision made by the
General Term ot the .Superior Court of New York,
is one respecting the relative value of green
backs ami eold dollars. It decided yesterday
that a one dollar greenback is fully equivalent
to a gold dollar, and that all debts may be satis
fied by tender of payment in Ui.i'.od 'otatcs Trea
sury notes. The facts of the caso are as
follows :
T!:e plaintiffs, owners of the British ship Ata
tatila, by tbeir agents, George Henderson & Co.,
in Calcutta, chartered the ship to Gillanrters,
Arhuthiiot & Co., of Calcutta. The charter
I arty ws made m Calcattn, ami is dated Janii
hty 20, 1.-C3. It contains the following clause:
' The (reijfht to be paid on nnluading and right
delivery of the cargo as follows, viz.: if ais-
hurged in United States of America, in silver
and gold dollars, or by approved bills on Lon- ,
don; it at a nort m a LT;tit":l Kiuj-do;ii, at cus- I

ii.rnt demanded lu nilver and pold d illiirs, an.
tpecilied in the charter party, which wa- re
liised. The notion was trie I' bv a referee, who
found the tender of the United States local ten
der notes, and that at the time of such tender,
tae market) valtio thereof was thirty-three and .
oni -eighth per cent, less thun that .'of gold or
silier unllars. Bv an arrangement, between the
parties the plniutifis credit cl the deiojidauts

leaving a balance ol 5S7'!S-Iii due. Thorelerca.
