In the course Of the discussions, the paramount
considerations that should impel the banks TO the per-
Torrance oflher obligations to the publicand 10 their
creditors and relieve them and the character of the
country from the odium and evil consequences of
their present position were urged by MIR. Galatin.
on behalf of The New York banks, with force of
reasoning and array OF facts the most conclusive
and convincing.
Mr. Lawrence Of New York and DIR. Brocken-
brongh OF New York took The same ground with great
practical ability and effect
From the commencement of the session of the
Convention, until its close, the State of New York
strenuously urged the expediency of fixing day for
the general resumption OF payments in specie, and
that that day should be early the first day OF
March next; but in spirit Of Cancellation conceded
to the will Of the majority, that ii should be fixed 10
take place the Isl Of July whereas the States Of
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Maryland
and South Carolina steadily and vehemenlly resisted
the designation of any specific day; the Bank OF the
u. States through its representative, Mr. Manuel
Eyre, throwing the whole weight of its influence
against any immediate or definite return to redeem
able currency, 1t is the decided opinion of the best
informed statesmen and bankers that had that insti
tuition exerted its powerful influence in favor Of re-
sumption, not only would an early day have been
| agreed upon, but the event could be accomplished
with facility to the great advantage of the Banks
and in promotion of the best interests OF the COM
! munity.
