But the argument of the minority of the Com.

lowed by quite different resolution from the
one which ends the report. 1.-THE app rehenslons
of the report are we'll grounded, 1t ought to

propositions that bank charters. having two or
three years to run, ought not to be extended -
but the direct, logical consequence Of the reason

something like this:
"RcsoIped, That the immensely increased cir
culatiOn of the banks in this State, is in our
judgment flooding the country with an ire

Currency.

Aminority Of the Hous, comm ttee on Banks,
have reported adversely to the bill to extend
the charter of the Ascutney Bank, at the present
session. The reasons given, are the large cir
culation of all the banks ia the State. the de-
probation of paper money as compared with
specie, and the danger Of crisis. While we
do not see any very evident connection between
some Of these propositions and the coclusion to
which the minority come, the report furnishes
us an occasion fer discussing some of the sta,e-
lnents set forth IN 1t.
The fact that the circulation Of the hanks in
this State is now greater than Tor years before,
IS not, of itself, any evidence of an ursound
state of the currency, but rather the reverse. If
the bills Of the Ascatney Bank, for instance,
were not esteemed as good, or better than legal
sender Treasury notes, they would find their
way back to the bank fast enough ; and the
same is true of every other bank in the State
1t is the public confidence in the bank, that
keeps the bills in circulation. And however
much we may wish that our home currency was
as coed as gold, it is not the fault of the banks
that it is not, but rather the misfortune OF our
times. When Congress made Treasury notes
legal tender, they, at single stroke, gave all
the banks in the country the privilege Of re-
deeming their bills IN these notes aud they
gave individuals, al the same time, the right Of
paying their debts in the same currency. This
at once brought al toe business Transactions of
the country to the measure Of value OF the legal
tender notes, 10 this respect affecting banking
ment had not res3rtod to this cxpedient, it is
more than probable thai ali the banks would
have practically suspended specie payment, the
same as they have since done, from necessity. In
the unsettled state Of the country, and the great
decrease in its exports Of the raw material, to-
2ether with the coMiag hon: Of much American
stock held abroad, the dr4la Of specie would
coon have left the blnEs without taAt comrnod.

Themselves, doubtless, precisely where they are

against the banks, or OF Their unsoundness, than
1T does against individual credit. II Mr.. Noyes,
