the people curse the Banks, ood desire their

declare their hostility to liberty and charac
terize their operations,' as worse than the
reign of kings, was employed with the ap-
Earent conviction of troth. , Under, their
anner, " down with the Banks and up with
Democracy?! tho party deluded tho people j
with the belief, that Banks ancf republican
ism could not co-exist. And, taking an
artful advantage of ; a severe distress in
money affairs, which, was falsely attributed
in tha YVMrr trinmfth of 1S40' hui.
in truth, was .the fruit of a lon; train of ill
advised measures opposed by the Whigs at
the .outset, and at ail times afterwards, they
Eromulgated the charge, that the Banks bad
oarded the money, and promised that tbey
if elected, would unbar tho prison houses
of the hidden millions of gold' Slid silver.
Coming, as these men did, into tho Legis
lature, with' their declared hostility against
tho very existence of Banks, as being ami.
. republican ; with their open made Charges,
tjiat theywere full of corruptions and rot
tenness, and had not been sufficiently in
vestigated, but Jri i factr-had been basely
- whitewashed by the Whig of -1840 ; and
avowing, further, that the owners and di
rectors of tho institutions were in the habit
of shutting up the money, so n a prnrlc
distress amongst tho people ; declaring and
avowing.jdl these things, what hod, he
people a right to expect of these legislate,
when they should become rightfully pos
i , sossed of tho power to act at their discro-
."'.' lion? . A candid man can answer but in
one way, -and that is First, that tley
would .destroy, the Banks, if any lawful
.opportunity should offer, whereby both the
hoarded money would go out to the relief
of an aiuicted people, and the obnoxious
' monsters cease to feed on tho liberties of
: -the-country-- And secondly, if no proper
opportunity should occur to destroy them,
then that they' would probe into theifeon-
duct, detect and expose the. corruptions, and
cut oil their rottenness.
Obvious as would seem to be the per
formance of these duties, by men 'who had
spoken and acted as the party did, while
before the people seeking seats in the Le
gislature ; let us' enquire -what, that body,
"'with o ver wljelmmgfflocraticriiojijrities
"in both Houses, did with and concerning
" the Banks. - :. ,
On the 13ih day of December, Mr. Biggs
of Martin, introduced into tho House of
Commons, a series of Resolutions, propos
ing aa enquiry Into the expediency of en
acting a, law "
Firs. That a-wspensionf forthirty

Secondly, That, when a Bank should
be in a state of suspension, it might be sued
but should not sue its debtors.
Thirdly Thai the suspending Bank
shfluld pay 25 per cent per annum, on such
pnper, as it did not redeemon demand.
... These Resolutions, also proposed a gen.
eral enquiry, with power to send for per
sons and papers, into other matters con
nected with Bonking and Bankmanoge
motit, and thoy were referred to the, Joint
8 hti f .ommittoo . on tJanka. very soon
after tho reference, Mr. Brown, of Caswell
who was Chairman of that Committee, re
nortcd a bill to the Senate, declaring that
a suspension of specie payments, for thirty
da vs. durine the year, should be a forfeit

to exist. Near the same time, Mr. Briggs

Thus stood, on tho last day. of the year
1842, and on tho first day of tho year 1 843
the action of the democratic party of the
last Legislature, on the Banks of the State.
Before wo proceed. further with tha his
tory of this subject, we propose to make a
short inquiry into the principles of the bills
of Messrs. Brown, Biggs and She pa rd.
In all of them, suspension of ppecio pay
ments; no tnatterwbat the "necessity was
forfeiture of charter, . This was in. the
teeth of the charter itself, which i. but the
caulracl betwoen tho . State and tha Slock.
holders. Upon the faith pf this contract,
the Slate invited individuals to invest their
money j and, therein', it is provided that, in
case of a refusal, to redeem its notes, when
presented for payment, the Bank .shall pay
12 per cent, per annum till redemption ; .2
vol. Rev. Stat, p. 63, Sac. 29., This is the
penalty the State exacted in making the
contract, and this the pepalty agreed to by
the Stockholders. -How then, can the Le
gislature add a greater penalty ; without
their consent J Again, by tho charter, See.

Legislation should ever be adopted, we had
a smile to bestow, it should be freely given
to the proposal of Mr. Biggs, that the Banks
should never sell Exchange at a higher rate
than one per cent. Exchange is tho differ
once, in value, of a dollar, here ' and else
where, a -dollar here, and a dollar in Liv
erpool That difference depends on many
circumstances connected with commerce
over which the State of North Carolina can
have as little control, at over the , tides
And we should nave been aa wisely en1
ghged, if we had set about to regulate the
exact difference, uj the valuo of to horses
of the samo sizo and qualities, in the two
quarters of. the globe. This idoe, of regu-
lating bxchango between distant countries,
by the positive la w of ono of them, is we
believe, wholly How, and well comes in at
the tail of .the grand, financial quackeries of
the day. . ,

that the Banks of the Statu could not redeem

al was that of MrrShepnrd, who undertook

"Having presented to "your view tho' atti
tude of the Democratic party, on the sub
ject of currency, on New Year's day 1843',
we will open a new chapter ana conclude
with their doings. - -H
Oa -Monday, thtf 2nd January 1843 and
doubtless with the view lo redeem the pledge
of the party tor a ecorcnins investigation
made the Saturday before. Mr. Jonps, of
Orange, Introduced a format set of Resolu
tions, dufy'irarnished with a pompous Pre
amble, wherein it Is set forth " thai adue

the condition of said institutions' shall be
thoroughly investigated, that it is impossible
to mako it during the short timo that any
General Assembly ought to be in' session
and that It is alike duo to the public and
the Banks themselves, (liat their condition
shall bo ascertained and made known to the
country." The Resolutions, after this
flourish, proceed to appoint three Commis-
sioocrs who are to bo sworn, to be wlected
lr joint vote of tho two Houses, with pow
er to inquire fntow all abuses" and Hall
violations of theff charters," and generally,
iotq all and any matters Connected with tho
management ot said Unnks. . to ; summon
their ex pott Jacto laws, and began to speak
even respectfully of it; and just at tlie close
of the Session, tho most violent -were even
hanging 6n ha bosom and delighted with its
picturos. Thus ended the Democratic Bank
crusade of the year 1842 j not the least
curious and entertaining part of which is,
that, on the eve of our adjournment, a Lo
cofoco movement waf made to repoal the
penalty of 2 percent, now in force against
Bank susnensions. If our serious readers
deeire to know, preaey, what became of
the proposition of the Stockholders, we will
tell them, in a few words. Mr. Jones,' of
Orange, introduced into the Houso of Com
mons, a set of Resolutions, proposing to
wind ud the aUuirsor tho Bank, which for
aVeckless disregard of tho rights of private
property are unprecedented, and of which
eventhe Standard thus spoke :".A more5'
