The views of the Governor in relation 10 il
legal banking by c%itios, towns and county
courts, will meet with a ready response from
our citizens generally, and we trust, from the
Legislature also. This infamous system Of
banking has added lis full quota to the univer.

we most heartily concur with the Governor in
tho opinion that, if the General Assembly is in
TO favor this species of banking, they
ought, at least, so guard its exercise as 10 pro
