rANKRrpr ~ ZOE BANKs.

Mr.. WHITE, of Knox, submitted the following
Whereas, The President of the United States has
recommended to Congress the passage Of bank
rupt law, applicable 10 the banks OF the different
States, under which any bank, however solvent it
may be- will be liable 10 be forced into liquidation
because it cannot maintain specie payment:
And whereas, the present depressed condition Of
the banks has resulted from causes prevalent
throughout the commercial world, and which no
local policy could control or prevent:
And whereas, it is inconsistent with the rights Of
the States, that institutions chartered under their
reserved powers, should be inlerfered with by the
Federal Government, and made subservient to a law
| applicable to no other portion of the community
| therefore,
! ResoI0sd 6y the General Assembly of the State Of
Tennessee That the passage of such a law would be
calamity, and is uncaled for by tbs community
| and inconsistent with its best interests.
RESOLVED, That the States are competent to man
age their own affairs and take Of their own in
situtipns aud not yet ready to be administered
| upon by any power on earth, not even that Of the
| General Government.
ResoIvsd That eur Senator's in Congress, De and
they are hereby instructed and our Representatives
requested to oppose the passage of any law having
for its object to interfere in any way with the banks
of the country directly indirectly.
| Resolved That copy Of this preamble and resO-
! lutions be forwarded by the Governor to each o.
our Senators and Representatives, as the sentiment
of this General Assembly.
