On the other hqnd, some are for as- pscmbling the State rLegislatwes to doX clare a forfeiture of tho Bank Charters. Thercls perhaps a Uttfcusehv this. You have nothing to do but, in the first place, look to the charter itself and sco what it requires. Then compare its re quisitions with the conduct of the Bank. If ic Bank has not acted in good faith, according to the terms of the "compact, the charter is forfeited in laic, ; even without any express provision, to that cflect. .. Anil a Court of Justice, (not the Legislature) is the proper tribunal to try the question. On tirinciplcs of common law, all charters aro granted to tlicir respective crportiUons, (whether fur banking or other purposes) on conditio, cither express or implied, that the cor poratioa must obscrvo the terms of stip- ulation contained in the charter itself.- A; In some of ihe Nornern Cities, Proy- idence, It L for ; one, there have recently been many suits brought against tho Ijknks, on their paper being presented. and payment withheld. ?fJI0& The practice pursued by many public presses of adopting every rumor unsustained by direct origin, or pparent credibility, is both postcrons and pernicious.
