censure, expressed, according to the che-
'acter Of the Censor, sometimes, in Ian
guage decorOus aud gentlemanIy at o.
theirs with all the coarseness of vulgarty
Moreover, recurrence of such a state of
things Is to be guaded against by lcgisla-
live enactments, forieltures and penalties,
heretofore unknown TO our Code
ButwlIat let me ask would have been the
situation of the Country during the late
war, if there had been no banks in the u
nited Statesl IalIude net to any real or
supposed aid they may have afforded to
the fiscal operations of the General or
St"te governments. Had there been no
banks, our circulating medium, however
inadequate TO our wants, would have been
specie. The balance of trade being a.
galnst the United States, couldb be paid
only IN specie, and our currency must ne
ceSSarily have left hecOuntry. To what
extent 1t would have left Virginia, NAV be
conlectured when the statements of our
banks siiew, that during the war, the al
ieTatiOn OF the trade against us exceeded
the whole quantity OF specie which our
banks ever possessed. Our country must
necessarily have been exhausted of its
circulating medium and to carry on the
ordinary traffic between man aud man
we must have returnedto the old system
OF bdrter. The impOssibiIity Of a commu-
nIty snbsisting without circulating me
dunn for tie purpose of trade, and in
which 20 pay the taxes, would soon have
forced an issue Of government paper mo-
ney-and our past experience proves that
those issues are limit, d, not BY the wants
OF the community, but by tie wants of
the government.
J DO not mean TO justify Tic subse-
quept condu t OF the Banks, after sus-
pending specie payments. The, ourhf
carefully to have guarded against the is
sung Of more PAGER than the limited in
