BROWN S VETO MESSAGE. On the hili, to pkoiiibittjie Agencies of Foe- ( eign Banks in this State. I withhold my sanction from this hill, for 1 the reasons that our Legislature have legalized, : in our own Banks, a suspension of specie pay- : ment. While this state of things continues, 1 do not think it wise to drive out the agencies I of specie paying Banks of other States, and , thereby give to our Banks, which have acted ■ in such bad faith to the people, a right to mo- 1 nopolize their business. Had the Legislature ■ forced our own Banks to resume specie pay- ! ment. it might then have been proj»er to com pel agents of Foreign Banks to redeem their 1 bills in specie, or drive them out. As matters i now stand. I leave them to a fair competition. I (Signed) Joseph E. Brown. Dec. 24, 1857. Governor. THE BANK BILL.
