and previous to the late military @ccupa-

OF government in France, in the event
OF the success of their arms. The Earl of
Liverpool upon this point could not state
the nature OF the communications that had
passed, whilst ne positively asserted there
WAS no engagement entered into for impo-

he admitted that the understanding was,
that His Most Christian Majesty should be
restored to his throne. Upon another point,

UNCHARTERED BANKS

At a meeting OF the Directors of the
Londoun Company, for the encouragement
OF Agriculture and Manufactures, March
%, lSl6--the Board, taking into consoles
ration the late act, passed by the legisla-
ture OF the commonwealth, for the suppress
sion OF Unchartered Banks, &c. cannot but
view itas,an unwarrantable stretch If legs
lative authority, exercised, as we suspect.
under the influence Of two large monoDo-
liSing Banking Companies and that, as
long as the citizens of this section of the
state have not an equal representation in
the legislature, a recurrence of legisl tive
oppression may be exp cted, and the en-
actment of laws. best laped TO their Gus
toms, habits and int rests, and promotive
Of their happiness, will be impeded--
1t IS therefore
ResolUed, as me ohinioH ofthis Board
That however dangerous Ia the Judgment
of the legislature, the increase of Banking
Institutions may appear, the assumed pow
er resortcd to, for their suppression, IS in
comp itlble with Republican government,
and the law unreasonable and oppressive.
Considering it an Infringement on our CT
vii rights ard privileges, we deem it per-
fecty consistent. and a duty which we owe
to ourselves and to pOsterity, to use all law
fat means to alleviate the hresent and
guard against ali future assumptions Of le-
gislative power.
1t is therefore further
ResokUed, That remonstranres ought to
be preferred to the X session Of our le-
gislsture, against the above cited act, in
the passage Of which 1t IS presumed pow
er has been exercised not vested m that
body, and IN Tie execution Of which, rights
mseparabie from a free people must ne
