plicans for banks should understand This IN he
the settled policy of the S,ate-that II is NO.
cessary to compel the established institutions
to wind up their concern5-and that to e.cbar.
ter, as general rule, would amount to per.
petual charter, excluding large portion of the
people from privileges to whichthey are enti-
tied equally with the proprietors of the existing
Banks. Recharters they conceded, might some.
times be proper-but these were regarded as
exceptions TO the general rule. Messrs. Swift,
Stevens Russell, Stoddard, and Crowley oppos.
ed the resolution If intended TO forestal the
action OF the House, il was unwise and if this
was not its object, then 1t was perfectly idle to
adopt it. The question of policy was, by some
of the speakers, regarded as at least doubtful, on
the ground that it is safer to entrust privileges
to those who had already proved faithful and
honest, than TO men unried and inexperienced
- not 70 saw, to speculators. All concurroa
in Directing to any thing when siivuld look like
tying up the hands Of the House, and also in in
slstlng that all applications, whether for rechar-
tiers or for new banks, should be left to stand
on their own merits and receive the consdera-
ton OF the Legislature unbiased and unfeltered
