Gov. BRowN's INAUGURAL ADDREss.-The new
governor Of Georgia in his inaugural address to the e
gisature thus firmly and bodily defines his position in
regard to the banks of his State:
In the midst of high state of commercial prosperi-
ty with abundant crops and bright prospect for the
future, the country is suddenly shocked BY an almost
general bank suspension causing disrust and depression
in all our commercial affairs. 1t is to be feared that
much of the blame is properly attributable to our bank
ing institutions, for having in wild spirit of specua
ton, extended their paper circulation beyond the limits
authorized by legislature and by the sound princ
piles of banking, which requires them promptly to redeem
their circulation in specie when presented If this be 50
with any Of our banks while they may be the cause OF
much public calamity they arc certainly not the proper
object of public sympathy.
YOU gentlemen, the representatives. of the poo
pie and it is for you to consider what constitutional
remedy you have in your power to apply The fault lies
not with you it lies not with the honest masses of the
people The disease to the body polite may be said to
be almost desperate one, and, with view to the flu
ture it may be better to submit for time TO desper
ate remedy in the hope that may be permanent one
The law, stands has provided the penalty for
bank suspension The duties Of the executive arc plain
and simple. | shall not shrink from the DISCHARGE OF
those duties. ! consider the law imperative And on
being informed upon such legal evidence as the statue
contempates that any chartered bank in Georgia sus
ponds specie payments shall order proceedings for the
forfeiture of its charter.
In case of proceedings against the banks, the bill
holders would be none the less secure as the assets of the
bank would be placed in the hands of receiver and
converted into money and applied in payment of the
debts Of the bank This would be lesson of warning
which would do much to protect the country in future
against similar revers caused by wild speculation anf
over-isgnes by our banking Institutions"
