n The infamous suspension law prsvides,not only
for suspension Of specie payments for year, but
| for suspension ofdivdends What are those to do,
whose whole worldly fortunes-whose only means Of
subsistence are vested in bank stock do with pro-
perry which yields them nothing and which, If sold
at all, must be at an enormous discount from par
value
| When . man gets into bog-there Is no use of
talking about his getting out unsoled. He must get
out first, and wash himself afterwards II is of little
use TO talk of the villany of suspendng specie pay
ments now, for the act has been done. The only
thing now is U 60 boldly TO work and set all to rights
again. The suspension law is unconstitutional and
therefore dead letter. of effect. The law against
issuing small bills is also unconstitutional Laws OF
all kinds were made fos rogues, and they alone will
take advantage of laws Of their own framing, to pro-
themselves in the exercise of their rascalty
Let the banks act like men Of honor and honesty let
them consult nothing but justice, AID the general
good. Let them at resume specie payments, lay
open their affairs to the pecple-pay their dividends
to the widows aad orphans who are dependant on
them for support let them issue small bills, If
such step be necessary, and the people will protect
them.
There is difficulty in doing right, unless you are
surrounded with rogues Honesty is the best and
safest policy for the banks in this community, and
the they set cbout acting up to its dictates the
better it will be for them and the community.
