 MT. Davis was not sensible of entertaining hostile feelings towards the banking system, or towards those concerned in banks. Ifcar- rled too far, however. they are an evil instead of blessing.

They have pow CT to do so.
 Mir. Jackson and Mir. Pitkin spoke against the remedy proposed by the gentleman from Stamford. removing the capitat of banks al- ready granted, and sending 1t to other towns. The legislature have not power to do sa.
