To meet vhich they jointly held a stock
of specie equal to less than six millions of
dollars, lining in proportion of one metal
lic dollar jto seven dollars and thrpe quar
ters of paer. From this view of the case
it must be evident that the ability of these
banks to purchase bills by fresh emissions
of paper drediis will be impossible; with
out the hazard of being brought to a stop
pntre of sjpecie payments. That they can-
eght and a half millions, or -any
hie pniuoii of that sum, in specie,
be same hazard. is eauallv evi-
1 K '
le a ; and it may therefore be fairly as
yined that the transfers cannot be made.
! But, it is t be noted, that the defalca
tion in nr. 'r:nmission of funds from
West to tjie: Ha? i is not the oely ditliculty
that will pe experiencetl by the Western
and S'Uiiltwestern deposite bnks. The
settling of balances 'between those of .dif
ferent States, k even between those of the
same State, must be attended with great
embarrassment. 4 ne same remark will
pp!y to those of the Atlantic cities. Ca
ses havd already occurred iu which the de;
posite banks of one city have not been a
ble to obtain the balances due bv those of
another city ; and it is ktiown to the wri-
la 1 1 1 I
terthat dralts drawn oy one oeposue oanic
upon another have been protested from
non-payment, and that already a Treasury
draft upon a deposite bank has been dis
honored Under i his condition of-things, ; it may
very natu ally be asked, what course will
the Sectetjarv of the Treasury pursue ?
Has be th; power, and if he has. Will he
bring suit against the deposits banks who
may oe unaoie to pav, ana meir suretie
bettors of -' -the.speriinenu9' for having o
fosslyi fleceived the Public witt their
quack financiering.4: : I s
And' now let us inquire what influence
this raeasure;ioul(l have, upon tlie state o
the money marketand.how far- it would,
go to wardf relieving UreT existing, pressure?
I answer that, if the deposite banks should
default in their payments j to tbe Govern
ment, and be thereby relieved from the ne
cessity of a rapid reductiojof theirjloans,
without which no payment can be4maBe
on the 1st of Jul v, the indulgence would
be immediately felt by Jtheir debtois and
by the community. That portion of them,
therefore, whose pecuniary embarrass
ments were of a nature to be cured by
LI. f . . .
reasonauie extension oi lime would have
the chance of being saved from rum.! But
there would be great danger thai the banks
might be imprudent, and extend their is
sues, in which case a suspensioof specie
payments ; would most assuredly follow.
and bring with .it a tram of disasters even
worse than those under which we are trow
writhing.
The greatest evil that could befall this
country, not only 'as regards her prosperi
ty at home, but her honor and character a
brpad, would be general suspension of spe
cie payments bv the banks. In the
prevention of such a catastrophe, the Gov
ernments of the Union and the States, as
well as the whole People,! have a deep and
lasting interest ; and it lis; for that reason
that I assume it as certain that the' Gener
al Government would 'pursue the course
which 1 have above indicated It is in
deed probable that the Secretary of the
Treasury, judging from his official notice
of the 1st instanv.jn which be . Uuti mates
the possibility of a diminished revenue,
might, if he had the power, voluntarily
withhold from the Slates one or both of
the instalments yet to be paid, upon the
ground that the wants of the Treasury to
meet ; appropriations demanded such a
courseBut he, possesses no such powef.
The monev must be paid, if it can be ob
tained, and after , being once paid, can only
be recalled by gentle instalments, not ex
ceeding two hundred and 11 forty thousand
dollars in any one year frojn the State re
ceiving the largest.share, and from the oth
er aiaies in me same, proportion.
