But I cftnuot sit aown,': Mr; Speaker,
without calling on the members of this body
to pause before theyacf. Remember that
tho very best interests of Vour constituents
are at stake. Tho vote which you are now
about to give may inflict upon theman
injury, which many years of economical
industry cannot repair. And this,, too,
without any earthly equivalent whateVer, for
it is admitted by all, that this Bank is per.
fectly solvent, and its affairs judiciously
manaecd. What excuse then! let mo ask,
can you render to your constituents for the
course you are about to adopt! Was this
country invaded, was a foreign foe hover-
ing around your coast, I am aware, sir,
that the people of this Stato would cheer,
fully surrender their worldly substance and
domestic ease, on the altar of patriotism
tney would consider no sacrifice too great
in defence of constitutional liberty. But,
sir; here there is no principle involved, no
richts attempted to be assailed, and yet this
House seems determined Io rush head. long
on to the perpetration of an act which must
inevitably result in tho utter and hopeless
ruin and bankruptcy of thousands of our
follow-citizens. , " , " ...
