suant to resolution Of the last Legislature Il Is
fact deserving attention. tia; tie principle de-
mand for specie. subsequent to the resumption, was
from abroad; thus exhibiting in the clearest man
ner, the general confidence OF our citizens in the
solycncy of the Bank. The times were unpropi-
tlous IN many respects. but the Bank has been well
sustained thus far, and there no room to doubt or
fear for the future, under ordinary circumstances
or previous suspensions of specie payments, it is
unnecessary to speak, but cannot let this opportu-
nifty pass without expressing my decided con-
ylctlon, that, come what may, the Bank should pay
out the last dollar Of It's specie, rather than suspend
again. TO be vaciilating, year after year between
suspensions and partial assumptions, is subyersive
of all those principles which sound banking
rests.
