that the Bank, if established, vouk;
not be so prodifttive as some gent'e

a section in the Wl Which he though;
also objectionable : it was that which
went to the establishment of a Branch
Sank in Salisbury in preference lo
any-other place. He saw no reason
for "an excentkm in favour of hat
pUce. Ir.deece believed that if ;
Crunch was et Abli .-shed in that town;
! there would not be another in any
j ther part of the State, ivi the funds
' would not allow of it. Upon the
f whole, he was opposed to the bil?.
it a 11 ink could be established with
out touching the stock of the United
States belonging to this State, he
should not object 10 it ; but he conlci
, not consent to part with that vFoduc

lie could inform that gentleman a d
the house, that in a journey lie lately
took to the northward, he hai found
several Banks established principally
for the accommodation of farmers
and retail merchants, as well as those
; in large cities in aid of commerce
; iU instanced txi.ticularly the Banks
sat Annapois, Easton- snd r rede-
ricklown in Maryland.
j ' When the gentleman from Pitt
I spoke of the insignificancy of our
i sea-ports, he ought to have recollect
ed what wi s the cause, of their being
so far behind those of our sifter
states. One cause, Mr. S. believed,
was the want sf the same kind of ac-
commodedions from Banks, which
I the merchants of other aea-port en-
j'oyed.J In most of these the .United
Stales had established Brunches ; but
th: Directors of that Institution had
been .deterred from establishing any
Bank in this State, lest they should
be overwhelmed with the paper cur
I rent y of the State, which being a
; lawful tender, could nofc be refasud
; in satisfaction of any debt incurred
! with such Bank. . The Bank now
t proposed lobe established will afford
Uot only ; our. merchants, but farmer
and
:i;n,.ni -,f hvpw rlfisr.n o' ion
i an accommodation; and what is

with w! kdv ihe operations of the
principal. Bank may be commenced,
he does riot believe that, it will be in

had said this without Conside-

Upon the whole, Mr. S. bel'x ve'' :

dou'it this B nk would ; fiord to its
Stockholders from 8 to 10 per cent,
after paying everv expence attending
the mstitc.i.ion. It would. also prove
a great conrenin?eTTrrTr5 cillz at
l.-.re, to b able to raise money in
cases of cmert-encv, and also pre
vent the necessity of keeping money
unemployed. At present, if a man
has engaged to to pay a thousand
dollars twelve mondis hence, if his
monev comes in six Tttonths befo: e
the lime, be is afraid to part with it
lvst he should not have the money
when called upon, end it lies dead
in his hands. When this Bank is
established, monev so situated might
be placed tbe' e where it wouM pro
duce an- interest 'ahi'might be
called for at an v time.
Mr. Bkownk-'og apologized 1o the
Senate for troubling it with a fbw ob
servations on this subject ; but he
was f -iendiy to the bill, and a f "
thoughts had occurrixl to him, wh;h
he wished to lav hefore lire house.
Mr. B. then mentioned a calcu'.ntion
that he had made, which shew d that
the funds of this State in the United
States S ock would be much more
pro St ably employed in the State
Hank. He, did not agree"- with the
! i-'er.t'eman from Pitt that the ob
structions in our harbours were im
moveable. On the 'contrary, he be
lieved that thrs Bank, if established,
. ould promote their removal, by
affording accommodations to mer
chants, and giving a spring to com
merce and industrv,- that would o-
vrrrome everv difficld v that sto-d
in the way. This Bank, Mr. B. add
S ed, would not only be serviceable
to the merchants, btK to the larm
ers ; for by making money more ca
sv of attainment, it will raise a com
petition of purchasers to the marset
roduceof our farms, which
v.s niit before existed. ' "

and that a the S'ip was to have

could at any lime go in'o the Bank

Uiese notes would have over others,
