payment of an acknowledged
public debt, at least to the
amount Of the original sum, with
lawful interest thereon. Some
penalty must always be paid by
defaulting debtors for neglected
and broken obligations, nor can
[ see why a sovereign state
should be exempt from Obliga-
tions assumed in honor, which
can be discharged in no other
way than by a faithful and
timely performance Of her COW
enantS.
The state having issued and
delivered the bonds and ndreCeiVed
a valuable consideration upon
this latter class Of obligations,
[ cannot see how she can escape
the penalty due to violated
faith, or honorably acqult her
self by an exparte determine
tion before an interested forum.
Assuming her liability for the
Holford aud other bank debts,
she has toreclosed and pocketed
the proceeds Of the bank mort
gage sales, and now turns to the
very creditors whose obligations
were made the basis for the
states claim to subject the bank
mortgages to her sovereign uses,
and she now offers the creditors
the consolation Of repudiation.
By every fair business principle
and every instinct OF moral
honesty, we are bound to make
some other disposition of this
latter class Of bonds than that
of reputation. We are bound
by every obligation men usually
regard as sacred-by the money
and pledge Of repayment made
at the time the money was re-
ceived-by our seizure and ap-
preparation Of the bank mort,
cages which in any event, and
NV avnrv consideration of iuS-
tice and equity, should have
gone to the satisfaction OF the
bank debt, in case Of refusal or
failure to pay, by the principal.
lido not pretend that the fund
ing act was properly or legally
passed, or that the state should
be bound by it; but [ do con-
tend that to the extent of money
received, with legal interest
thereon, and the value cf ap-
propriated securities applicable
to this debt, should be repaid to
the original holders Of the five
hundred thousand dollars OF
bank bonds; less would be dis
honorable, more could not be
extorted, even under any constl-
tuition. The idea of a final set
tlement of these claims by
means of q constitutional amend
ment, is simply ridiculous,
when considered temperately
and nationally. All but the
Holfords are already legally
and effectuaIly settled in the
most honorable and satisfactory
way. TO attempt q further set
element evinceS a sense Of error
in the mode Of settlement, or
insecurity as the matter now
stands all Of which is to dis
trust the honor Of the Judiciary,
or cast unworthy reflections, in
advance, upon g0liUIelu0h Z! w
be called into the public service
Upon the whole, it will be a
gratuitous assumption Of dis
honor, freighted with evil, and
nothing but evil, to the people
of the state.
The peoplewant a substantial
and even handed justice dealt
out alike to citizen and bond
holder. The state got some
money on account of the sale OF
the bonds, and suffered it to be
used by a banking organiza-
ton; took possession OF the
banking organization and seized
its assets, by reason OF her liza
bility for the bonds, approprl-
ated the assets to her own use,
frittered these assets away on
q favored class of debtors, and

falsehooq into the constitution
and make a shameless disavow,
al of a confessed debt, in adopt
ing the proposed amendment in
the language employed therein.
The truth being, these bonds
never had any legislative aU-
thority for their issuance. 1t
was as though a few state off
cials had boldly and arrogantly
assumed the functions Of gov
ernment, and issued paper
styled state bonds. 1t follows
that, as the state was not legally
liable, nor received any benefits
from the sales of the bonds,
she is not liable, even On equit-
able principles, for anything SO
far as these classes Of bonds
are concerned. I venture to
assert that it is beyond the
power of the Legislature, under
the present constitution, as 1t
now stands, to cure the defects
in these bonds. Being thus
protected, the amenement is
useless and worthless. In round
numbers, these two classes
amount to nine million dollars.
They are now forever set at rest
by the judgment Of q court
respected throughout the whole
United States, and no other
mode Of settlement will eyer be
so eminently satisfactory to all
parties concerned.
Third-The Holford bonds
are a part Of a series Of real
estate bank bonds, issued by
the state and disposed Of by
commissioners on behalf Of the
state, and the money raised
placed in the hands Of the bank.
These bonds we're originally
disposed of in violation Of the
act authorizing their sale, but
some money was received by
the state for the bank. The
Holfords got possession Of these
bonds, not by direct sale or
hypothecation to them, but by
legal proceedings as creditor OF
the North American Banking
and Trust company, the concern
loaniug the money on the pledge
of the bonds. Had the state
acted promptly in repaying or
rendering the amount advanced
by the banking company, there
could now be but little doubt,
even On the equitable grounds,
that the state would not be liza
bic, except for that sum; but
the loan was made for a single
year, at q given rate Of interest,
by the terms Of which, III good
faith, the state should have
acted in the same manner as
honorable men are expected to
act in their private dealings.
So far from doing this, the state
never paid nor offered to pay
one dollar Of the principal of
this debt (in now nearly forty
years.. But two payments Of
interest have ever been made,
and this even under the funding
act of 1869. This demonstrates
a degree Of poverty or inditfer-
ence to public obligations not
very fattering to the state
These bonds now attempted to
be disposed Of in this exparte
and unfair way are parts Of an
acknowledged bank dept. TO
secure the state against loss IN
thus permitting the use Of her
credit to raise banking capital
for the bank, she took the pre-
caution to secure herself against
loss by taking mortgages on the
property of creditors and stock
holders in this bank. These
mortgages amounted in all,
when first taken, to three mil,
lion and eight hundred thousand
dollars. Assuming the state
would pay these and all other
bank bonds the act of January
10Th, 1851, authorized a fore
closure in the name of the state.
Since which time the state has
foreclosed, and turned the pro
