NJ. Webster said Treasury ord'r had
brrn published, which il was proper
should be officially communicated IN the
Sena'e. When speaking nn the jaint re-
solution Uhjrh lately passed. (.aid Mr.
W. | observed that some farther legal
provision would be necessary, II the resn-
lnlinn should pass. This expectation is
qni:e confirmed by the new circular. As
In some nf the conditions, ar Limitations,

they are imposed hy existing statutes.

all The banks in s'nle OF the States. aud
nearly all in others. are in this predica-
ment. il Is necessary, undoubtedly, that
some act al Legislation should he p,ssed.

" suspended specie paym 'nts. bn, no,
TO do either in regard I" such banks as
