Banks may, for while, and often do, by their mis. management, stimulate, confuse or embarrass the operations of trade but finally they are compelled to yield obedience to its laws ..
 1t may be supposed that the bank which it is now proposed to establish, in consequence of the greater value and higher credit of the paper it may issue, will be enabled to force the paper of the state banks out of circulation, and substitute it's own. But, sir it will be precisely tor at that the bank will fail in it's attempt. If its paper be more valuable than the notes of the state banks in the South and West, it will be bought up as rapidly as it may be issued, just as bills of exchange are by merchants brokers traders and country banks, for the purposes of remittance to the North and East, in payment of the commercial debts and bank balances due in those sections of the union. It circulate amongst the mass of the people in the South or, West, or any other section of the union, until the solvent local banks in those sections resume specie payments When they resume specie paymt nts, their paper will be at par, nearly at par, with the paper of the national hank and then both will circulate through the same channels until some change takes place, rendering the one moro valuable tban the other, in which event the circulation of the more valuable of the two so diminsh, whilst that of the other ,i crease a.is i .lsf. .'a. .strd anf <
 And now, Mir.

But the state banks cannot resume specie payments uni their debtors able pay the debs due them. Those debtors cannot pay tie im,rensei mass of debt due the hanks, until by dipt of hbor, industry and economy, and the collection of debts due themselves from others, they enabled to alise the means of liquidation.
