At an early day In the session, a com
miitee wit rsised, on motion of Mr. Pot
. . . a
tcr. of Granville, to investigate the con
duct of the Banks tbis committee was
clothed with power to send foi persons
and papers. After several weeks of labo
rious investigation, the committee got
through with their business, nd set about
makm? out a renort. Hut it was soon
found that two parties existed among the
members of the committee ; thone who
wished to present the bunks in the worst

after tne reports were made, Mr". Potter
bfougH in long biU, which he. proposed
to substitute lor the ret lu'iort attached to
tha reDort he had made. This bill,
among other things,-proposed to confit
cate all tha effects of h-b'tks, and out
of them to create anew bank ; it proposed
giving the commitsicners of confiscation
power to imprison any person connected
with the bank, who might refuse to suf
render up any effect in their hinds ; and
it mde no provision against the forfeiture
of all debts to and from the banks on the
ahrotrmion of ;t.e rhirtcr. it wes on thit
bill that Mr. On'on made his two long
speeches j as did several otheia, who
tooke on thl side of the subject. After
the debate hd mdo considerable pro

their object. After consultation, the billj"" "a" u.
which I request you to publish, was drawn,
apd offered as a substitute for M r. Potter's.
This fast was the bill which passed its se
cond reading, but which on its third rea
ding, was rejected by the casting vote of
the apeaker.
In looking at the provisions of this bill,
it will be found very different from what
many imagine. It expressly provides
against the abrogation of the debts, either
owing to or from the banks ; and vests all
the effects of the banks, on the forfeiture
of charter, in the state, to be disposed of
for the benefit of those concerned. J he
bla provide
Bank, that its copcejrns should le wound
up slowly, having due regard to the rights
of the stockholders and creditors, and the
safety of the debtors. But the bill will
speak for itsell ; and I would respertfalry
call the attention of the public to it, in
order that they may have a eorreet View
of the; subject. justice.
