A note due at that linio, therefore, would have lo be paid at a time when the paper currency will not bo noar so redundant a* at present, and when, consequently, it will be of much more value j or, what l» the same thing, when the price* of pro perty end produce will be groatly re duced by tbo reduction of the amount of the currency. By the way, U it not a great reproach to our State Legislator*, that efficient meastiroa hare not been onacted and put in execution to drive out of circulation tbr unauthorized ablnplaster currency of the country ?
