As cue means towaida bringing tho green backs to par with gold, tlio Independents insist that tho Government fhall cease Jockeying ith Gold-Room gamblers by refusing m tliu most important sense to receive its own paper for iU claims upon citizens, ami tints discrediting its o*a notes to that extent; and they farther do maud that the Government shall cease aiding the gold-gamblers, and indicting moat foul in jury on the people's commerce, credit, and in terest. by purchasing Us own obligations at a discount,—thus giving the Gold-Room the ad vantage of this poiuiu.oiia practice, which wonld dishonor oven the effete Government of the Grecian Archipelago.
