we will secure our charter by the subscription of the
81 100000 of stock and the payment in the present
year Of the five per cent. thereon is now as poIiti
c!ans say, , hHed 1act. W nat the Legislature was
thinking of in giving US such important and easy
conditions to secure to us such unbounded wealth,
cannot imagine, nordo care. This much do know,

our charter and we certainly will not be so punct
Ious in conscience as not to receive the bounty
negectful Of our interests to let slip the present
glorious opportunity of enriching ourselves and eeya-
ting the character of our country
