Persons certainly talk without refle ction,

give US no banks this wnerP What would
we do with an increase Of banks? Our State is
cursed with toosn snmany already-We have ma- .
ny more than we know what TO do with, or are
Of advantage to the people, Before the repeal
of The German Bank of Wooster, we had thir-
ty seven banks. Some Of these are not now
in operation-their charters, however, still
exist, although their conduct has been such as
10 authorize their affails 10 be closed up.-
The charters Of all banks Of the Slate, with
the exception Of perhaps fifteen, will expire by
Limitation, on The Is, Of January, lS43.
We give table below, Of eleven banking
institutions, the authorized capital of which is
four millions Of dollars and the capital osten-
sby subscribed, upwards Of three millions,

times the amount of their capital subscribed,
provided it is held in conn., which would
create circulation Of nearly ton millions. The

eleven Of the fifteen banks, whose charters do
