BANK OF THE STATE OF NORTH CARoLINA.-The
stockholders of this institution, learn from the
Standard met in Raleigh Monday last TO act upon
the ques ton of accepting rejecting the charter
granted by the last General Assembly. Cen. S. F.
Patterson of Caldwell presided, and E. B. Freeman,
Esq, was Secretary
On Monday afternoon MIR. Mordecai, the President
of the Bank, addressed the stockholders at some
length, and in lucid manner, the past and pres,
ent condition of the institution the condition OF the
business of banking in the State generally, sc.
No d. cussion took place Monday. But the
deliberations on Tuesday resulted as we learn by
letter from Raleigh in the eCtiOn OF The charter,
by a vote of 1916 to 427.
We learn that the meeting largely attended,
and that the discussions exceedingly Interesting,
may be supposed when we safe that they were
participated in, to greater less extent, by Mr.
Mordeca President of tie Bank, Mr.. Badger ex-
Gov Swain, ex-Gov. Manly, ex.Gov Morehead, ex
Gov. Graham, B. F. Moore, Jas. B, Shepard, VIM r.
Myers, Treasurer Courts and perhaps othe.s.
The principal objection urged of course, was to
the provision of the charter, that the Stale mi ght
pay its subscription of $500, 900 (and contingenuy
$500 900 more) in State bonds, whilst individuals
are required pay theirs in specie its equivalent.
Sho I'D the Bank hold the bones, they would yield
only per cent. interest," whilst if the profits of the
Bank were 8 per cent the State would get that
amount in dividends. AS the bonds could not be
banked upon, the extra per cent. received by the
State would be part of the earnings Of the ndivi.
dual stockholders money If the Bank choose to sell
the Bonds there is probability that it could
lizc 80 per cent on them There would be a loss TO
begin with, therefore, of at least $4,000.
There was great reluctance, even on the part of
those who felt compelled to vote against the charter,
to give up the Bank. The stockholders will be sub.
jected 10 great Inconvenience, and probably loss. in
changing their investments. But besides The above
pIcyisons the charter is so loosely WOrded, some
sections conflicting essentially with others, that it
was not safe to adopt it. These conflicts and s.
crepancies ere pointed out clearly, that the in
genuity Of man might be defed to conStrue and re-
concile It's provisions. These accounted for by
Mr.. Myers, (who was in the Senate from Mecken-
burg,) as caused by the tacking on here. and the
striking out there on successive motions of various
members who looked not, ln the confusion of the
closing hours of the session. to the congruty of the
bill as a whole. Among other things we understand
that was shown that the right of the State to require
loan of $1,000 from the Bank mi ght be so con
srued as to justify demand Tor succession OF sucn
loans of 5000, ,OGO to an indefinite extent.
