Gle all its liabilities demand. The very principle on
winch they founded being the having specie suii.

for all ordinary demands but these lust requiring

REFLECT, that the proportion of dollar in coin TO

REFLECT, that the Banks this State hold fully that
proportion.
REFLECT, that the present condition of the Banks is
stronger than II has been since the creation OF
them, except intervals-and that the benefits
Of them, when they strongest, might at any
moment have been lost by simultaneous demand
upor them by deposItors and bill. holders for coin.
