Note 31 — Thursday. August 16. in Convention.

This vote in the affirmative by Virga was occasioned by the acquiescence of Mr Madison who became satisfied that striking out the words would not disable the Govt from the use of public notes as far as they could be safe & proper; & would only cut off the pretext for a paper currency and particularly for making the bills a tender either for public or private debts.–Madison's Note.
