MIR Jackson objected to tho disposition OF the
memorial. That document presented a condensed
WOW Of the wishes Of the whole trans Allegheny "
country lie renewed the motion to print e
MIR Scott thought Il sny action wrs contemplated u
this great question, tho printing was proper
thou h 1t seemed to hm premature. If there was
to be action, select committee should first lie =,
raised, To whom the subj sct might be referred. :
Mr. Crut-hhr'd took a simiinr view. ;,

Mr. Cruichhed Withdrew his objection and the | \
memorial was ordered to be printed.
banks. y
Mr. Scoirs resolution, with Mr. Ksnneiy's amend | a
ment, was taken up motion of Mr. Jackson. l,
As the subject OF small notes had already been | !
referred to the Committee on Banks, Mr.. X. wi h.
drew his amendment.
Mr. Brown Of L. moved TO amen tho resolution,
by directing the Committee on Banks to inquire into
tho eHpediency Of bringing in such bill as that
proposed, instead Of directing 1t to be brought IN.
MIR Strother should vote against the amendment
and Cor leave TO bring in a bill-Nlthough he should
keep himself uncommtted when the general subject
Of eoercing the Banks to resume should come up.
MIR Dormun wished prompt and decided action.
The House was as we'll prepared now for action as
they could b.. He did not care one brass farlhing
himself about the matter. He felt inclined to go
against the resolution of Mr. Scott although he con.
sidered his argument sound and unrnswerabe. lie .
wished the people and the Banks to know what the .
House proposed to do.
MIR uoleman did no, see the necessity Of such .
speedy action. IL the ruin spoken o. was on the ,
LIST of January, to he visited upon the Banks, the |
Legislature would be in session, and could pass u
resolution trelsye them IN two hours.
MIR Crutch6ed dis liked this side blow. He pro
ferred the rejection of the resolution its refer ence
TO the Bank Committee.

Mr. Jackson said he had taken no part in tn c
matter just disposed of-but no was in favor Of
some decided movement for improving. the condi
ton Of the banking system. With that view he
submitted he following resolution:
Rssolrsd. That the Committee on Banks induire
into the eTpcdency OF providing by law that the
Banks o. this Commonwealth shat curtrrl all their
existing discounts or accommodations 10 per cent.
every 50 days, until all said discounts, accomroIl-
tons and debts are fully liqurdated and satisfied
the Banks, and also Ofso provIdIn" by law that said
Banks shall not hereafter mike any discount or &C.
commodntion whatever, make any renewal
thereof or discount any bill that has a longer time
to run than six months, and that any person VINO
may hereafter have n discount or accommodation
Tor period OF SIX months shall not have Il renewal
oil the same or any further accommodation from
such bank until period Of months shall have clap
SEQ from tho expiration OF the discount or renewal,
which had run SIX months-and that Committee
also inquire whether said Banks, after, 10y the
foregoing process, their discounts shall be reduced
% per cent, shall be required to specie p.y-
ments, and that from and after the resumption Of
specie payments, that all non specie paying Bank
paper be inhibited from being received or paid out
by all persons in tho CommOnyeil th-and that also
the existing provisions Of law authorizing the issue
OF snail bulls be continued during the pleasure Of
the General Assembly.
Mr. Wood thought this was the most feasible
mode Of bringing about an early resumption, which
he greatly desired. The resolution was rejected
