of their charters. If the Banks are not guilty,
why do they not take measures to convince the
public of the fact? why do they not defend
themselves in some way if they are innocent.

people, and the people have a right to bring
them to an account at any time. We would
like to know if the Banking institutions of this
city, would, if requested bya meeting of the
citizens of the county, convince the public, as
did the Banks IN YicksblIrg, that they are do
