that the means arc thus at hand, and
am convinced by the present embar-

is no safety in tampcring with a

On reflection, you will perceive that
your suggts tstion of raising any deficit
there might be in the interest fund
by an hypothocation OF the stocks
bought OF Mr.. Astor, conld not be
carried out, because those stocks have
no longer any existence. Tho cer-
tificates are Cancelled ON being sur

that effect, and cannot again be re

stock of 1850 purchased and cancel

issued or hypo,hecated, as it has nc
longer any existence.
