people have blamed the Wings for a
course so craven. A solemn feeling Of
obligation 10 my constituents constral n
ed me 10 acknowledge the propreiy Of
the step taken by the Wings. They re
to prevent a fraud upon The rights
Of a majority Of the people Of The State
Of Ohio
But, says Mr.. Robbins, these e.
iy two Wings have not told the truth:
there was another reason which led hem

banks. | will soon show bow utterly false
this preteDce s.
IN The first place. | assert, as a fact
that no Wing dreamed that there was
any design of passing any Kind GA bill
10 Te.char'er d single bank. Several of
The m jorily Of The late Legislature
we're pledged 10 vote against all banks.
TsyI Tor, of Licking, is so hostile 10 cor.
porailons, that he refuses 10 vote for a
charter eve for a ChdFch or Academy.
There are others equally rabid against
bank corporations. Now, then, how
could the m%aJnrlly pass hank charters
of any klnd3 know they could moi

Nor is This all. The whole Of The last
annual session had heen p,rmitled 0 pass
without dong any thing for banks
The extra session was 10 have been clo-

tees had made ~ report 10 favor OF the
pstttluns;-and the House committee, as
| nm told by one of its members, had
never been colled together. A bill also
had been introduced by Mr.. Sharp 10
extend charters under Lalham's bill, so

House committee near a week before, g.
The comnltree had never heen called

Nov, with hose facts before them, how

we wei! reIleved, and then predicted
that this prelence would he forth TO cov.
m he en1rnnty of the fraud which Tin
Pan had determined to parpetraIe.
1t was not I'LL alter the Wings had re-
signed, that we ever heard of any de-
sign TO extend The charters Of the banks
even under Lalhsm's humbJg bill o
last winter. After the designations. Mr.
Hatch reported back the bill Of Mr.
Sharp to extend charters under Latham
-
bll,-which Mr. Hamer has e%ffecIuaIl
annihiIsted, No alienation Of it wa
proposed To pass such a bill, then
was to do useless act,-was. as Mr.. Ha
mer say 10 refuse 10 make safe u soun'
banks. No bank had ever agraed II
come in unfer Lalham's bill.
There were but three days Of the SEES
sion lett Nov, a bill has To be read o.
three several days 10 each House. Thi
bill had not passed the lower House
how, then, the majority could have pas
spd the bill, is more than | can see.-
But this idea Of enaciiOg banking syI
TEN in three days, whea the majo.
