ing special session of the legislature,
for the purpose of establishing state
bank, upon private capital. We pretend
to have no knowledge Of the Governors
feelings or views upon the subject. We
only know that the subject was agitated
in the last legislature, md that bill was
prepared in the Senate for an act to in
corporate a bank, which failed, perhaps,
by the casting vote Of the Lieut.. Cover.
nor. 1t was then thought, by those ont OF
doors, that 20 bill for the incorporation Of
a bank could have passed the house of
representatives. Whether majority Of
the legislature would now entertain diff.
ferent views of the subject, we are una.
Bile to say--nor are we prepared to say
how such project would be received by
the people,"
In the event that Congress, at its next
session, should not re.charter the U. S.
Bank--of which we entertain strong
doubts-the measure suggested by the
Advocate will be worthy Of some consld.
GRAFTON. We believe that bank can be
established on stable foundation. But
to effect this and to secure the confidence
Of the public IN such an institution, it will
be absolutely necessary that the persons
who engage in its establishment and man,
agement, should be men of pecuniary
responsibility, and who have heretofore
sustained themselves creditahly in all
their money transactions. No banking
institution can possibly succeed in this
state unless controlled by men possessing
these qualifications.
