Ifthe time shall ever arrive in the history Of our be-
loved country, when the people shall beginto quail be-

little Holmes shall be heard, and the reinstatement on
such restrictions upon our banking institutions as will
operate as safeguard to the bill holder and against a.
mother inundaon of paper promises pay as near as
| practicable TO attain, or repeal. -
