charter, to detain the field fpccie locked
up in the banks forever, if they deem it
expedient to be done.

the Immaculate Secretary of the lreafn-

and poistedly refufed on the ground thar
iuch an interference would be indicate
and pernicious, in confequence Of his
connection with the public treafury.
Such virgin coynefs was certainly mott

with his propoGng not only the outlines
of bank. but with his plan for appoints
