LYNCHBURG BANK.
Some months since, we intended, to lay before our
renders the Mviitnrial ot the Upper C luntry,
for kite establishment ol a B ink at Lynchburg
— but we omitted it—The followin')? article,
puts the menu ol this question ill a clear uml
cogent point ot view
The commercial wealth and resources of Lynch
burp. give her an unquestionable lim to the
privilege which she cemamL-Luring the
present year, it is said, that not less than 10.
U00 rogslieads of tob acco will b<* inspected in
her Ware houses, besides the immetiia quail
titycf flour, anti «*th^r articles which are sol*’,
at lu-r nis'k'" She " wants a nank ami must
have it ”— Yet these are Lets ; that no formal
application has ever been made to th* 11 ardut
Richmond, for a branch at Lynchburg ; of
course, none lias been refused ; 1* that the ttia
jor.ty and perhaps all of the board here, as well
as of the s.oclt holders, have no objection, and
will niuke no sort of opposition to the ex
tension of the present capital,- anil the estab
lishmeut of a bran* h at Lynchburg This ex
tension should be on the time terms as the orx
ginal capital was subscribed ; that is, one fifth
< f it to the sta'e at an interest of 4 percent
The present Stc kholders* themselves have eve
ry inducement to establish a bank at that place :
because it wouldgiv.'greater confidence and
circulation to tkeir paper Such anecdotes, as
those of the Franklin tarmcr, would seldom or
never occur ; as that paper which could be ex
changed almost on the spot for Specie, would
be as good as the Specie itself; for it is well
understood that most of the gold &. silver which |
has been drawn from the Hank at this plice, '
has been either carried or sent off to the back
country.
The present cap:lal of the Dank is less than the
dtrtnund. It ;s t in ployed to considerable profit
(the present half year’s dividend is i per cent )
am! to establish other new branches, would be
only to add to the exponce# without adding to
the profits By the 15th Sec. of the charier,
the D.rectors were bound to institute branches
at Nvifolk, Fredericksburg and Petersburg,
only ; and they were, of course, permitted to
institute any others, as their own interest or
the superio- claims of other towns, might pre
sc.rilie to them.— \n extension of the capital
would rt move all objections, increase the funds
of the Treasury, promote the general conveni
ence, and please all parties
THE DOUBLE BARREL’GUN ;
Or Two Strings to the Bow.
4 Petition will be presented to the next General .4 s
srmbly of Virginia praying that a law maybe
past authorising the establishment of an hide
penaer.t Bank in Lynchburg.
This subject requires explanation.
Fium the period of the establishment of the
B-ink of Nortli America in 1781, until the year
1804, when the Legislature of Virginia, after
mu h debate, delay, &. difficulty, passed a law,
establishing the Bank of Virginia, this common
wealth paid a considerable annual premium, to the
B nkmg Institutions of the surrounding states,
lit giving countenance, encouragement, and cir
ci.la*ion to their Notes, not in all cases as a mat~
ter of preference, but on account of the convent
en e in making distant pay mi nts, safe carriage,
h.r &c whicli were more easily effected by
means of%Bank N «tr*, than by eitner gold or sii
ver Hut mam c tin v people who yet smarted
under the losses, ;.nd 'isappointments of revolu
tionary paper nrioi,, __, all times since refused,
and still refuse to accept in payment paper mo
rn y of any description, an instance of which oc
curred at this place not hmg ago in a Franklin
pi tnttr, who pref rred selling his crop of Tobac
co on a credit of 12 months, to be then paid in
specie, rather than tuke Virginia Bank Notes
told down. This is not a solitary ruse—distrust
and dissatisfaction, still in numerous instances
attend the circulation of Bank paper in the up
per country, drained ■.» it now is of a specie, and
were it not for the industrious persuasion of the
commercial men of this place, Bank Notes would
fall into utter discredit
On the 13' h of December 1790, the then Sec
rotary of the Treasury made a report to the house
of Representatives that <■ National Dank, would
be an institution of Primary importance to the
prosperous administration of the fin an es ot the
Unit'd States ; and would be i f the greatest u
tility in the operations connected with the sup
port of puldic credit On the 25lh of February
follow ng a law was passed to establish sucti a
b.u k.
During the whole period from the establish
mm of ih United States Bank in 1790 untilthe
y> ir 1804, Notes of the Unn< d States B ink, al
thu’ alvujs executed in a slovenly disgraceful
manner, and on inferior pa tier, and hence fre
sjee.ntly counterfeit obtained very considerable
c culation in Virginia. Ti men of refl -ction and
Untie!standing, especially to commercial men,
wi>o aie habitual calculators, it was a matter
of surprise that the Legislature of V-iginia lud
tlius long overlooked the Jdvuntagf s .ntl .e-com
mud lion ot a Bank, so peculiarly bem fuual and
convenient in all prosperou ■ commercial i ■ untries,
where the principle is thoroughly undustood, and
hon< s« ly practised.
During lb- sessions of the Virginia !„■ gisla
tu :n 1S9U 1 .ntl 2, the subject of n Bank was
ta.ketl of: n 180.1 !bil in tine form was brought
btftrre the H-iust, ti seussitt, ard lest—-for the
principle w*» not then rig' tly uti '• istood,nor in

J lie follow ng year, the suhj- i t was again re
m.wtd; and <r> more nnture reflection, when
mew found -rd were convinced tl*al, United S
U nk paper, and ihe notes of the neighboring
st tea, t,i the north, and South of Vuvinia, had
a< tjtiireti considerable currency thro’the land,
amt w hat is wofsc, had swept offa large portion
u: »ic c irculating medimn, tlic Solid btufl — the
gold and xilvei ol the country, tjey were then,
®*'d ne t til! then, convinced, that, a Dank must
1» rttabl-shrd j f<nd accordingly on the 30tl» of
Junii try 1804. the act was passed, incorporating
the prevent Bank ot Virginia, to the no incon
sidrrable satisfaction of every intelligent man, in
the community
Hy this an ».f incorporation, on the first Mon
day m May fallowing, subscription hooks were
opened in Richmond, Norfolk, Petersburg, Fre
<Kr ckstMi'g, Winchester, Staunton, and Lynch.
f)mg ; and in less than the specified time, ell the
sillies were subscribed for; and soon after the
Banking business was commenced at Rich
mond, with branches at Norfolk, Petersburg, and
Fredericksburg, only.
At fiiM It u..* supposed that, Crunches would be
blislied at aii the towns named in the act ; but
it was afterwards de-term;..- d that the commerce
o' h. 3 I st, to w l i Winchester, Stanton, and
Lynchburg, was not. then, ofsnfficiinl magnitude
to ret]U>rc, or to sustain an establishment of this
future*—But by the course adopted, it does not
loll -w an g mailer of right, of expedient v, or or
oel gntion that branches, or Banks should not bl
est, bh shed, not on!j in all the places m< ntioned,
when their magnitude and commerce might re
•pore it ; but in all other towns throughout Ihe |
state, now established or to be istablished
whose growth, prosperity, and popikition might
rt any turn, during the team of ihe p resent char
ter. demand such an accommodation—than it

icUs of the original institution.
The principle*, on which the hank of Virginia t'
s founded, are known tn be purely Democratic—
hat is, the object of the institution bus been to
1
iromote the greatest possible good of the great
J
■st possible number of the go id people of this
'.onimonwealth ; and that the exclusive nccom
]
inodalion of the people of Hichmond, Norfolk.
Petersburg and Fredericksburg—the ft«nk of
Seer*—or bank share holders was never thought
of as a primary consideration, to preponderate
to tliucv lusion, losses anti privation of the whole
population of this immense state besides.—Tilt
following check in the person of ihi Treasurer,
who must be an ardt ill, acknowledged Republi
can, will sufficiently manifest the temper of tbe
framers of that law, nor w 1 we trust their suc
cessors ever abandon principles so equitable and
salutary.
* And tc it further enacted, That for the well
ordering of the affairs I the s;-id corporation,
there shall he fourteen directors, being citizens
of this state, elected yearly by the stockholders,
at a general meeting to lie held annually- at Rich
mond, on the ft st Monday in January, for that
pu pose ; in which election the treasurer on
•u-iialf of tile slate shall have a vote equal to the
greatest number of votes whi-li shall be given at
the said election on any three thousand shares,
held by the greatest number of stockholders :
and moreover, the treasurer of the state for the
time being, (£/* shall be one o* officio ”
The readers of this paper are alre ady sufficient
ly acquainted with tile measures taken for the
purpose of obtaining for Lynchburg that Cash
and Bank accommodation, to which its corn
me roe so eminently entitles it. The Memorial
of the upper country on the subject is before the
public ; and sought and subscribed, with all that
ai din' and anxiety, which experienced privation,
hazard, losses, and inconvenience so naturally in
spire Wlien the necessity for a Bank in Lynch
burg was first felt, the comparative advantages ol
a Branch & an independent Bank were maturely
weighed and considered ; and to the former the
preference was given, lor the following reasons—
never t .kii g into calculation that tile “ insolence
of offi :e,” or the infernal spirit of chartered mo
nop dy, or exclusive privilege, w mid, in that re
publican institution, and in this Republican state
dare venture to raise either voice, or eflort, a
gaiust li t communion ol a l ight, alike the privi
ledge of all
A Branch of the Virginia Bank, I say, was
preferred for the following reasons :
1st Because the people of this place and coun
try hud become measu ably habituated to the
N Aes of the Virginia Bank so much distinguish
ed both in design and execution for taste, ele
gunce and secuiity as not to be readily counter
2. The State had measurably guaranteed the
solvency of the Bank, and enacted that its Notes
should be legal tender in all payments to be m -de
on account of the state : ami that all public mo
neys of the state when lying inactive, should be
constantly deposited in the Bank ot Virginia_
3 With regard to a knowledge ot the details
ol Banking, the p»ople of Lynchburg are precise
ly now in the same situation that the Richmond
people were, when the Virginia Bank was estab
11shed—they know (comparatively) nothing at all
about the mailer. — But from Richmond, in the e
veot ot the extension of •< branch to Lynchburg,
a Clay or a Nelcrvis might be borrowed (as our
brethren of Richm nd bad on a similar occu
sion so successfully practised from Pniladelphia)
to set the Machine in motion.
4 D« •< the unexpired term of tlse Virginia
Bank c. ft r, the people here would have been
schooled 1‘ttle ; they would have acquired sue h
knowledge, practical and theoretical, ol b Hiking,
as would enable them to tbrm correct estimates
of the relative advantages of a branch, an inde
pendent bank, and then act accordingly.
’1 he foregoing have been the principal induce
ments, wliy a branch Was petitioned for, in pre
icireiice to an independent bantt But what must
have been the astonishment of every independent
intellig. nt man in this country, who felt interest
ed in thu surress of the project, to b.* told that
some bank officers and hank stock holders, were
\ i dentlj opposed to the measure ; and haddecla
red that they would use every effort, and resort
to every expedient to defeat the project. It is
on this account only, and to ensure success tint
resort is had to tins last expedient of an indepen
dent bunk, as the commerce of Lynchburg, now
in amount fully a million and a hali annually’, can
not be supported w ithout some cash establish
ment ot tins kind—and it is with the most per
tectconfidence, that the writer of this article an
tic. .pates the success of the project, either in ex
tension, or in th* gi ant to. a charter of an inde
pendent bunk l lus confidence is based on the
following grounds :
1st. Tne Republican Legislature of Virginia
can never debase, or degrade themselves, by be
commg the panders of a faction—the tools of u
set Ot money changers—or the minions of a chat
tered privileged order—to the exclusion and de
t'jment of any portion of the people ol thu com
moil wealth
2. Lynchburg, on the ground of principle an.i
jUotice, and under the guidance and determinatt
on of such a legislature, is as much entitled to a
bunk, or the branch of a bank, as cither Hi L
mond, Norfolk, Petersburg or Fredericksburg
provided us commerce and capital possessed si’
imlar claims ; and so would Liberty, Lexington
Fmcasile, Staunton, Winchester, or any town in
■ lie west, under parallel circumstances* Wedu
ty any chartered, interested banker or stock hoi
dei, to controvert this position and principle
3 The Legislature of Virginia will, ,t ex
peeled, prove themselves, not only in this in
stance, but in all tne great concerns of the state
the true and impartial guardians ot the rights &
• nterents, of the great body of the people, uiun
rJneiiced by di-luston or misrepresentation.
The principle will be discussed and the ones
tior; decided, on its own intrinsic merits and expo
diency, divested entirely of sophistry, self inter
est or party spirit.
Should an mdt pendent bank be granted the
direction and control will he in the hands „f those
alone, who will, mail respects be inter, sted in
the success ot the instituii <n ; [<. no man’s money
transactions will be idly submitted to remote or
jealous curiosity
It will not he asserted in the alledged Isnirnage
°* a W'eHt m Lyncliourg wants a bank and
must have it: But fortified as is the pray er for
a (lank, by reason, bv justice, necessity and truth
no doubt i* admitted as to ultimal! su. ee
the claim is founded on light-and the appeal is
inai.c, not tottie passions, or the prejudices ; the
hopes or the bars ; but to the heart®, the un
dersUmling, and to the impartial justice of the
Legislature «>l Virginia
As a bank is the main object, the Petition for
the independent bank will be tlm same, us that i
