Ho, (Mr. B ) for uno. while he wouldqol make a motion, felt diaposud to let the resolution lio overa day or two. A Mr. JOH NSON said he had no objection to let it lie over a day or two. He avow ed that he was extremely anxtous to have a report on a subject of so much import once, from thevcommitteeflon banks. Mr. DAR§|E remarked that the public mind had been too much agitated, of late years. on tlte , subject of banking. and he was therefore apposed to letting the reach)- tion lie on the tab‘e. He thought it should be acted upon at once. and rejected. The party wtth which he was connected had been charged \tith being a Bank party, but whether rightfu‘iy or wrongfully. lte would leave others to say. Now. it was e‘uppo ‘ eed that inasmuch as the Whig party warm new in power in the Legislature. they 1 would run wild on the ‘eubject of banking.‘ He didn‘t want to agitate the public mind at all. He wanted to let that qtteotton'lie just where it wax. If a good bank come there for a renewal of its charter. itehould receive his vote ; but he would vote for no new bank as he believed there was alteady a sufficient number in operation.’ Hecon ceived that ,we ought not to alter our sys tem of banking. and he wee sorry that his friendtrom Elie, should hatre suggested it.
