Thinking that such ri a statement injuriously affects the pub- s lic crredit, we have taken the pains to ascertain the facts, and we are au- Ih thorized to say that no purchase of s coin had, or has been made by the t: Secretary of the . Treasury, for any l sucn purpose; and that at the tim h e i t ha notice was given to the public ti creditors that the interest would be t paid in coin, more than enough was t already in.. the Treasury to meet the 2 interest dueon thodaysabove specified I Since the appearance of our last is sue, we have nob received any news of importance. .
