But your committee are of opinion that this deprecia tion of the paper of our Banks, in the States . td the north of us, cannot with propriety be attributed to aiiv doubts of the solvency or a- bility of the Banks to redeem their notes with Capital Stock paid in, specie; for they are persuaded that such a Bank noies in circulation, cause would have -produced a much greater I Deposits or sums dub to jndi- r enecr, ana mai msxeau oi aiiernaxing Deiween viuutiia, i- eight and. five per cent, the paper of our Banks Dividends unclaimed, would have ceased to circulate at "any price. Due to Banks, Tour Committee are of opinion, that the de- l'rofit and loss, or surplus, pressed character of our Bank paper is prin cipally owing to the fact, that there is no suf ; ficient tendency in the course of our, cairinierce with othei-States," to restore it to us, wh e rt; it Has once found a. circulation abi'oad; and where it must ever be in some dcgiee an arti- Bills of Exchange on hand, ble oi speculation, and its value u the mar- uue oyuanKs m account, ket dependent on the quantity on ,iand, arid the demand for specie. . ; .
