Kelley was getting up the present system OF
State Banking, he and the other wings who
aided and abetted him, gave as one grand
reason for more Banks, that they would
make money plenty man with vs.
bill on one Of the branches of the State Bank,

Ohio have a currency Of her own, convert.

notes of banks in other States, after the ex-
pertinent had been tried, whig legislature
passed law, making tunlawfulfortheO Ohio
banks to pay out the bank notes of other
States, but the evil was not remedied. Our
city banks pay no attention to the law, and
the result is, that Virginia, Kentucky and
Indiana pour in their trash, while our trash
goes to I'LL up the circulation Of Virginia, In
diana and Kentucky

mise to make tie notes Of Ohio banks equal
