JUS1AI1 TURNER, .lfcjrr , 182?. 6113 THE BANK We notice io the Warrentol paper, the pro. ceedings of a meeting of , the (people of Gran- yille county, held at Oiford, oii tie 5th of Feb- ruary i at which a committee ana appointed, "with instructions to draw up a report, upon tfieoii4uct,,Nl.4bft.3anka of.Kort)i Carolina i cretion, might seem best, ta protect the pople .6tJrtl..rolii:agaist ee of. said haiikai On the th ult, (Tuesday di 8perimrt)a"adj(i five or sii hundred people attending. Horace Burton presided and the meeting being called to order, a member of the committee rose, and after;. afew. explanatory jrtm the ful. lowing report: Report of the conrraittee, appointed by meeting of the people of Granville, held at Oxford, on Tuesday the 5th ultimo, to the people of Granville, new in general meeting assembled s On viewing the directory resolution, which assigned their duties, the commit tee found themaelvea cbaicec with two distinct objects : lit. To present to you tt day a report upon the conduct of the banks of North Carolina. , j . ft. . una. i o propose such measures, as in (heir discretion might teem best, to pro tect the I coplc of Morth Carolina against the- improper practices of said banks. The Committee, in undertaking these duties, are deeply sensible pf the impor tance of the Bbee'moryJlltiGes;. noihinqttku than the sqrji and indefien dence of the people of North Carolina. T.htj cpneeire.t.)t.h. the. jrafs MitAtntni -ol the banks wis an unwise, i(not an uncpn:, at itutional proceeding of the legislature; and that, if they had confined themsetves within the spheref- action-' preTicriUd lo them: when Abe's;, weVt7slbajed, their operation would have been sufficiently distressing to a country so decidedly ag ricultural as ours; but created as they were for the tufifiostd advantage and con venience of the people, and directed to conduct their business according to cer tain rules laid down for their government they have wantonly violated those rules, and shamefully evaded the conditions un der which they were established. The result is, that, instead of a benefit, they have been a nuieance to tie people, oper ating like so many ulcers in the beart of the state, eating up its substance, and torroding away its health. St roog as this language may appear, we conceive it al together inadequate, to express a jutt idea of the improper practices of the backs. and the deplorable effect of those prc;i ces on the country; assured as we ire that..a. rr.iii is af hind, when, if some decisive measures be not adopted to'cover and protect the country from the fnudu lent practicea and merciless exactions of lhe bankl, thousands of our fellow-citizens will be deprived of their homes arid dri en into exile, and a majority of those who remain, reduced to the condition of. pa tient drudges, hewers of- wood, and drawers of water for the banks nay, we affirm that, for many years, our most substantial landholders and farmers have been little clso thin evertccrt for the banks, being barely able, by the utmost dint of industry and economy, to keep fioeteimn ol their 'arms while the firofiit of their labor have gone to increase the unlawful gains of the banks ; nor ire the merchants, and other classes of the com munity, unaffected by their insidious op erations ; the depreciation of their notes, occasioned by their refusing to redeem them with specie, has long crippled and embarmsed our commerce, and the rapid manner in which they ire now reducing the amount of money in circulation, be sides other evils of a frightful character, threatens with annihilation every depart ment of business. If this state of dis tress, almost of desperation, had been brought about by a fair courae of dealing on the part of the banks, however severe the crisis, we could but acquiesce in its evils, and bear with patience, if we could oear at all, the hardships for which there ould then be no redress -but when we reflect, tbst the deep and dangerout hold which the banks hive gotten upon lhe country, has been gotten unfairly thit it it bu a dithmett and thameut vitiation tf tlieir the,rlcrt , they havt tontrtred to get rnfo their hand the meant of bar at ting our fteofile and depriving them of their tub Mr,wa-ueaare,lbt..tpc.poopioiayc the rieht to rentt, that they have the fiower to rttut their nefartoui dfieradont 4thef reduced the value of property, in r . . :i - a. - ,-r -iL--4 Jifl(l it. before. and that upon the firvtnfit exetite bV'Wt Vighl, snd A pbwefj mtthtnf Utt than Ibeif 'Vnticpendeict: :.is.: tked -wt: rtfrof it, our people, roust either take measure.! to rrtisf the ittgotfiover of the banks, and call them to a tirict account, for -their crtmei, or resign all fireieniiunt to the character of freemen. We have no hesita tion in affirming, that the wrongs which mpelled our forefathers into the war ol the Revolution, were stifling, compared whh fAoe, which the people of North Carolina now suffer, and bare long tuffer- ti at the hands of their txon banhh firaetical hardship which produced the retolutionr wa torn paratirely trifling was the determination of the British far liament to ex our ancestors without their but the fir'mcifiievA ' it wa tyretakatitn&lMiMevtJhtJ ' do that. sooner than submit to an arbitrary exer tion fcf poweVf eVenat the -handt of the fff.il?ww:ljpi)ft..ttwbr tually ruled them, they determined to hazard their fortunes and their lives, Compare this with the evils tat endure at the" hands of a rti money dealer who direct the- affairs of bur baflktrttdTftkrin the diflercnie. Tis true, the directors of the banks have not yet the presumption to pais laws, requiring the people p( North Carolina to pay them a tax by name, but by violating the laws which gave them existence, they indirectly tax -the people of North Carolina, to an amount such as the subjects of- the Ottoman Forte art not required to pay their master we say that the binks have inflicted, .and continue to inflict, these hardships on the people : in violation of the very laws, by which the banks themselves were created.' And this bungs us to s discus sion of the charters and powers of the banks we are, aware that many of our people, alarmed at the bold strides which the banks have made in enthralling the jcoujt.ry;an4 :;vivMwingis,;:jpjat. feadflo regti,h,cni as ytfeWo offift clothed with ttnAmt7rrf7;9wfover.tneprop- erty of the country - a glance at their tkartert will tfitpel this illuiiorw and show us- whut they really arewill show us that they are nothing more than comfianiet of individuals authorised by the legislature lo club their money getherrMdMttit to the people on ttrtam tfir&fied condi- lion: The directors of the banks were required to observe three Jundamenidl con ditiont, is the batct of their operation! : 1st- Thit the amount of their notes in circulation should at no time exceed three times the amount of their capital. Snd. That upon demand their notes should be redeemed with tpecie. 3rd. That they should take six per cent upon their loam and diicounts, and no more. Your Committee are satisfied that fill these conditions have been vilfUtij violated- that the bank it - first flooded the country with their psper, issuing i vast quantity more than they were authorised to issuea vasi quantity more than they couli redeem 'with specie -their. reason for ths ia obvious they pay no interest oii their notes, while they reeefue an inter est of mare than six per cent on the notes of other frrtont given themi in" exchange for theirsas, therefore, they could ob tain the notes of others, drawing an inter. etl oi mere than six per cent in lieu of their (drawing none, and at. their ottm orri, while lying in their vaults, were worth to them -no more than- so msny bits of brfiwn paper, it became their interest to exchange as many of their notes is they could, for the notes of "the people t in other words, to push as many of their notes into circulation as possible ; but the taw, which alone authorised them Jo rr eulate notes at all, directed them not to circulate more than three times the amount of their capital : or more than they could at all timet redeem ith tpecie it follows, then, that the interest they received on the excess, or surplus issue, was so much unlawfully exported from the j country- tiy way ol illustration, suppose three millions to be the sum they were authorial to issue, ind that they actually issued six millions ; and we conceive this to be a moderate estimate of the orrr-is sue : in that case, they had, in direct vio lation of the law, received interest on three million of notes, which they had no right to isaueia other words, had illegally ex torted frosl the people of North Carolina, the enormous sum of a hundred and eigh ty thoasand dollars a year- ..Money loo being the standard Wise, the meature by vhich the value of property ia ascer. tjbed, the banks, in the most wicked and arbitrary manner, have varied this stand ard, and altered, at pleasure, the value of property -By first issuing excessive quan tities of their-fNeMhey-rMlthe value! of property to an artificial standard, and induced the most prudent persons ta pur chase, by rendering it so easy to obtain the means then, oy citung m mcir owe, ptwportiotr as they ad raised it-befwe-rj and ruined many gooa peopie, some oi whom bad -never dealt wwJhthemthf ma-, king it impossible for them "to pay debts, which, at the time they were contracted, they had ample means to discharge- wr are awire that the advocates and apolo gists of the banks, attempt to justify their conduct, by ascribing it to the opention of lhe brokers, and U.

There is another mode, ess direct indeed, but equally severe and unjust in which the people of N C. are required to pay the depreciation on their banks note it is this t nearly all the goods consumed in North Carolina are pur chased and brought from other slates, where North Carolina bank notes are five . and ten pe r - cent below - par. -our m er chants pay for these goods in this depre ciated paper, and though they lose the amount of. the depreciation in the pur chase, they of course make it in the sale ... of their goods in fixing the prices of their goods, they calculate the lose they have sustained oh the discount of the par- " -chase money, snd regulate their charges so as to receive it from the consumer sq that every individual in the state who -consumes a single article of imported goods, who uses for instance a pound of :" Sugar, or a peck of Salt, contribute to -defray the enormous depredation of our . bank notes--Think of the amount of goods annually broughVintoNorth Carolina,' and consumed here, and that those who con- . sume them, lost bve and ten per cent upon the amount what a tax is thus in- directly levied by the banks upon the people of North Carolina yet many of them do not see it. because thev pay this ta to the banks, through the hands of the merchants they do not see, when they pay the merchant for his goods, that they, in fact, pay the discount which the metchant has lost, on the depreciated bank notes, with which those goods were bough'. ihey stagger under a burden which they do not see they reetbeneatn the blow without knowing, the hand which inflicts it tlieir si;uation resembles that of a man who has been secretly Isnced iq a vital part, and droops tu death, uncon scious that his blood is flowing It is no exaggeration to ssy that the bsnks have long fed upon the life blood of the coun try ; and if a firm stand is not forthwith made against them, they will suck the very Uood and marrow from the bones of the people---To make-.such a Stand, is. the object of thia meeting f and none surely can fail to concur in the object ot the meeting, but those who are interested in the trains of the banks or those whose in- dependence of mind haa been t rushed and - broken down by their power- -As to those ho are interested in the gains of the - banks, we conceive ihat argument would be ihtowiv sway upon tbessa'anii ssai aaa . our fellow citizens, who ere indebted to the banks, what they .carj JtJtp"'- 'r"!n limiJ and lime seriine roiine f Have they forgotten the Mory df JtiiJoi k L do they expect compulsion sntt totoewranee from creditors, whom the la i'ell de clares ' have no souls V The expectation is vain thfj ere so many ic:ims bound and prepared for execution' If they, do noi burst their feilem, they n04t be sa crificed thty ore trie banks nearly six VriWuutfiMtf'MMWSVT:'.
