lateral, that the mind so devoid of JUS
tice as to conceive this plan. could APP
prove. Aside from the governments pre-
rogative TO mako its own money, did Mr.
Gage ever for moment think OF the I'M
fairness in allowing banker to buy
United States bonds. drawing 4 per cent
interest, paid to him by the people, and
then issue his bank paper to the full
amount of the bonds he had purchased, to
do his private business on with an addi-
tionsl advantage of never redeeming bank
