ANOTHER STEAM BOAT EXPLOSION.
Steam Packet Pulaski.
Ore.- One Hand red and twenty Lives lost !
In another column will lie found the melancholy’
intelligence, of the loss of the Steam-Packet Pulas
ki, taken from an extra from the office of*the Wil
mington Advertiser. This intelligence reached
Charleston early on Tuesday morning, by* the Wil
mington steam-packet, and wo received the slip
from a passenger, who came up on the railroad.—
Never have we seen the same feeling manifested
hy our citizens. No sooner was it know n that w e
had the particulars in our possession, than our of
fice was thronged with citizens, all anxious to as
certain if they had lost n friend or relative—and we
could not work off enough to satisfy the numerous
applicants before 0 o’clock in the evening. It has
cast a general gloom over our city, and well it may,
for Georgia hy this melancholy disaster, has lost
several of her most enterprising merchants and citi
zens. Our sister city of Savannah, will sensibly foci
the blow, for of the passengers, the greater portion
were her citizens. The account given by the Wil
mington Advertiser, is not very minute, as no doubt
it was obtained and worked off in a hurry ; hy' to
morrow, or next day, wo arc in hopes of obtain
ing a more full and particular account, which we
w ill give to our readers.
Since w riting the above, we have received the
Charleston Courier of yesterday, from which wo
learn, that the lives lost by this terrible disaster,
are estimated at from 160 to 170, only 17 having es
caped nut of a crew of 37, and 150 or 160 passen
gers. But little hope exists that nay of those were
saved, who w ere left clinging to the wreck, as by a
letter published below from one of the passengers,
it appears that on the night after iho explosion, the
wind was so violent, as to compel tin* passengers
and crew w ho w ore fortunate enough to reach land,
to slop and look for shelter for the night.
The Charleston Mercury of yesterday states that
although the name of (.on. James Hamilton appear
ed in their list as a passenger in the Pulaski, he did
not go; ho hud engaged a passage for himself and
family, but was fortunately detained, by the non
completion of certain papers connected with his
agency for the State in England.
Extract of a letter received in this city from a pas
senger in the Pulaski, dated
“WILMINGTON, June 18, 1838.
“1 take the first chance of relieving your fears

will have been made known hy the time this reach

became a complete wreck, sunk, and out of two

an agonizing scene was never before witnessed.—

WILMINGTON, N. C JUNE 16.
Messrs. Moffett *V Cai.dkii.
Sir —By this you will have the melancholy ti
dings of the explosion of the boiler nml loss of the
steamer Pulaski. Sixteen persons mid myself, are
the only persons saved. The accident occurred
about 11 o’clock of the evening of the day on
which wo left Charleston. The bout sunk about
12 o’clock. The scene is beyond description—no
pen can describe the appalling sight- no mind can
conceive the suffering and distress. 1 must leave
ft for others. The two boats left the scene of the
wreck, about half-past 3 o’clock, 22 persons on
board, about 35 miien from land, (supposed) we
made land about 1 1 o’clock, and at half-past 3P. M
wc lan'cd on the bench, the surf miming very
high ; (known as Slump Sound bench,) with the
loss of five of our company, viz. a Mr. Bird, from
Bryan county, Ga., a young man and an old gen
tleman from Buffalo, late from Pensacola, a young
man, u hand on hoard the steam boat, scolded ; all
of w hom wore taken from the (I mling materials ol
the wreck, and two colored women. 'The other
bout landed about 7 o'clock, nil safe, we beckoning
them off until the tide changed, or all would most
likely have perished. On landing oar boat, the
mate with the assistance of myself and the rest
of the survivors of the Company, hauled our bout
in ross the beach about 20D yards to Stump sound
Myself and steward of the Pulaski, went in pursuit
of shelter and water, it then being about sun down,
the remaining four returned to (lie beach to assist
the other heal in landing which w as effected as be
fore stated, without the loss of one person. I
reached the main laud with the boat, about H o'clock,
the tide being low, we were compelled to force the
boat about one mile through mud and water, and
wc found a house, a short distance from the place
of landing. Procured 2 Hat boats and refreshments,
with 3 fresh hands, and left for the beach, and ar
rived about 11 oclock, at the house, which proved
to be a Mr. Kidd's.

increased with such violence, we were compelled
to put up (alter travelling 13 miles) for the night,
ami arrived here this morning 100 late for the ears
which was a great disappointment for me. I shall
remain here until Wednesday, being the first con
veyance north. I lost every thing leaving the wreck,
only my clothes in which 1 slept, as was the case
with almost every other person saved—the people
here are very kind, offering every assistance.

June I6ih, 1838. {
Knowing the intense interest that will he felt in
the fate of the Pulaski, I am induced to assume the
painful duly of communicating to you the awful
calamity which has befallen her.
At 11 o’clock, on the night of the Mill mat., one
of her boilers exploded w ith such violence as to de
stroy ihe whole of the midships of the boat, includ
ing so much of the hull, that the water rushed in
with such violence as to sink her in three quarters
of an hour.
Two small yawls, with 23 persons, after remain
ing three quarters of an hour near the wreck to pick
up as many of the sufferers as they could sal. Iy
curry, succeeded in landing near this place yester
day evening, after inking five of the number from
the swamping of both of the boats in passing
through the breakers.
The destruction of the Pulaski took place about
1 forty-five miles South of Cape Look Out and thirty
from land. When wc left the w reck we still heard
voices of many persons floating on parts of if, and
believe that many might have been saved, if any
‘ vessel passed that spot the next day. Lapis. Du tons
• ami Pearson were probably destroyed by the ex
t plosion, aslbey were not seen or beard of when
" the first mate, wbo escaped in one
’ of the boats, displayed coolness, judgment, and

[COMMUNICATED.!
Messrs, Editors: So much is written and said
nbout our monied embarrassments—about the cur
rency and specie payments, that I have not the
vanity to presume that I can say any thing new or
interesting upon any of those topics. But the late
Bank Convention of Georgia and South Carolina,
Ik* sent out under its imposing sanction a report on
the subject of the resumption of specie payments,
which tills my mind with reflections by no means
pleasant, —much less approbatory of its determina
tion. It is a general maxim, that ‘‘Corporations
' have no souls." Nothing was ever more true.—
But hy perusing the paper alluded to, I think it
would ho diflicult to come to the conclusion that
Banking Corp rations have no sym/uitby , no com
miseration (or the community , —the poor jwople. —
For it is evident that they have determined to he
very disinterested —quite unmindful of their own
welfare , and as far as the hanks are concerned,
they “have no hesitation in deciding, that no ad
vantage to them, however great, ought to induce
them to continue the suspension, a moment after
they possess the ability to resume, and that they
ought to make any sacrifice to enable them to begin
and sustain such resumption.” Now the natural
conclusion is, if the banks ho such a “self-denying
— cross-bearing" fraternity as is indicated by the
above quotation, that. (hey will at once resume spe
cie p lyments, provided they are able to doso. There
fore from the fuel of their postponement of resump
tion nil tin; first of January next, the Inference is
irresistible, that at this time they are incapable of
redeeming their hills in specie. Bin they say they
“have ex mined the condition of the several hanks
of the two Hates, as exhibited in Ihe returns fur
nished them ; and thdy have no hesitation in say
ing, that if no other interests were involved than
theirs, they ought to resume at once.” And why?
< )f course, because they “possess I lie ohftity”—ore
“solvent.” Then why not resume nt once ? Be
cause, they say, in a tone and manner which at
once prove their honesty and evince their tender
sympathies , “they therefore” (grave, logical conclu
sion,) “are of opinion, that an immediate resump
tion is forbidden by a dm regard to the public '
(not their own) "interest." This is certainly enough
to remove all suspicions of their solvency, In show
their disinterested regard for “the public interest;”
and surely the hill holders, will be content with
the sympathy of the banks as a fair and adequate
substitute for the specie, which those bills profess
to represent. I shall not stop, Messrs. Editors, to
enquire into the truth of the proposition, that a “due ,
j regard to the public interest 1 ’ requires that the rc- i
I sumption should not take place till the first of Jan
uury next. The complaints and indignation of the {
people from every quarter give to it a sufficient re- |
filiation. Besides, who empowered the banks to I
1 meet in convention to legislate upon the interest of I
their creditors t I rider w hat rule ofjusliec or com
mon sense, has it ever been heard of before, that a
t debtor could decide when it was the interest of his
creditor to receive the payment of his dues, and to
proscribe the date at which he would pay indefi
• mice of the laws? Will iho banks bo so disinter
' esled as to permit their debtors to dictate to them,
’ and say when it is the interest of the banks that they
i should ho paid their debts—that they w ill not pay
till a certain day future, and will not allow iho
j hanks interest on the demand against them ? Is
I not this, just what the hunks have done? Do they
, allow any interest on their bills, which are present
-4 ed at their counters fur redemption and sent off
1 unpaid? In the name of justice and commercial
freedom, w ill the public approve of such a course ?
j Will they how in silence to such an edict? Will
J they suffer such dictation ? Sirs, wc iho people
boast of our liberties—we pride ourselves upon the
equality of rights, which is vouchesafed to ns by
our Constitutions, and we are fluent in praise of our
i civil institutions. But it i* bumililaling to confess
that we are tied band and foot to the monied aristo*
* crudes of the land. The agriculturist and the me-
B clmnic toils year after year, and what does he re
ceive in exchange for his produce and labor? Bank
rags ; or promises on paper, to pay, that which,
1 when demanded, is insultingly refused. The hon
-14 est industrious laborers of the country, are com
- ponsated for the sweat which they have expended
< andjtbe toil they have endured, with the depreciated
f bills of our monied monopolies; and when they pre
j sent those bills for redemption, they are told that
, they are ignorant of their true interest; go homo lion
est yeomen of the land and resume your daily avo-
I cations; bo content witn our broken promises, our vi-
K elated faith, pocket our defaced, time-worn, sullied
,1 rags; (fit emblems ofthe honesty and integrity of the
y source whence’lhey emanated,) we know|bost when
s it will bo proper for you to receive payment for the
debts we owe you ; we the banks in solemn con-
II vent ion, influenced by no other motive than a “due
e regard to the public interest,” perfectly “solvent,”
d able to pay, after mature deliberation upon the
it people's welfare , have come to the conclusion, that
l " it is violatory of your interest to pay our debts.
* Sirs, when the people will tamely submit to such
i- proceedings ns these,—quietly kiss the sceptre that
t- oppresses them,—calmly hug the fetters that en
in chain them, ay, obediently bow to the monied
} [ despotism that enslaves them, are arguments neces
-0 sary to prove that they are tied hand and foot to the
g* soulless corporations of their own creative bounty ?
lo On what, 1 ask, depends the destiny of our com
*e merciol welfare ? It ia upon a sound, wholesome,
J* well regulated system of credit. Who controls
y * the credit system of our country ? Who can ex
br n a nd andjconlract it at will? The Banks. It follows
o then that the commercial destiny of this great Re
on public, is controlled, and shaped by her banking
BH . institutions—institutions which are above all re
-5W sponsibility—institutions* which never felt one
throb of sympathy for the public welfare, insti
tutions formed by associations foj private interest
and emolument, —institutions wioso policy has
i- been, in every nge and country, infvhich they hove
e been tolerated, to speculate upomhe misfortunes
» and embarrassments of the pcode. It is within
s their power to regulate exchangeb suit their own
li interests, and undoubtedly by ginting or wilh
- holding indulgences to regulate iho price of the
t great staple commodity of the South. It is true ns
8 . a People, we may well he proud frame work
r of our government, as evincive ol great wisdom,
- and we may look with satisfaction upon its opera
, tion, in dispensing political hoppings and protec
i tion to the people, but wo never can become n
t great commercial nation,—! mean yeat in view of
our immense advantages—while the prosperity of
every branch of business is so entirely under the
control of hank influence. So loig as this slate
of things exists, we shall pass thriugh alternate
scenes of prosperity and revulsion. It is the inte
rest of the banks that such should li< the case, in
times of great prosperity, when credl is expanded
to its utmost, they reap immense profits; for they
do an extensive discounting business. In proof of
this, it will not bo forgotten how Urge were the
dividends declared in the years is(l and 5. In
times of embarrassment and revulsion, they are
benefited by the misfortunes of thtir customers.
For while credit was good, they were extending to
them largo discounts, and often tukipg mortgages
on property byway of collateral security, and
when credit is destroyed, and the whirlwind of re
■ vulsion shakes all the interests of trade to their
j very centre, this mortgaged properly is forced
into market, to satisfy the greedy avidity of bank
avarice, and unrelenting rigour, is sacrificed and
purchased by the hanks for a “ mere song.” \V ho
docs not see that the hanks are profiled by this ope
ration ? Because when business again resumes its
wonted, tone and credit is restored, this same pro
perty thus acquired, returns toils former value mid
thrown into market at a favorable time, brings
double the price at which it was bought by the
oanks. Thus, come “ weal or wo,” the bunks can
turn the key upon their vaults, retain their specie,
decide that “a due regard for the public interest
forbids ’ that they should pay their debts, curry on
their regular hanking business, and declare their
: semi annual dividends. Jt cannot ho denied ; the
| hunks so govern the country.—they do regulate
trade,—they do influence prices. Look at the
condition of Georgia. \\ iih such a numerous popu
lation, with such immense resources, and wiih such
incalculable products, she is dependent upon some
thirty-five or forty banking institutions, averaging
| generally about six directors each. From which
it follows that the great commercial interests of
the stale, are controlled by some two hundred and
ten or twenty hank directors, whose friendship
must ho courted or accommodation is withheld.
1* or myself lean conceive of no despotism more
absolute—no oppression more galling. Indeed, 1
am almost ready to subscribe to die sentiments of
a distinguished man of this country, “that of nil the
contrivances which have yet been invented to de
fraud the poor man, that which deludes him with n
paper currency is the greatest This is the most
effectual of all inventions to fertilize the rich man’s
soil, with the sweat of the poor man’s brow.
Our own history has furnished enough and more
than enough for our instruction of the demoralizing
tendency, the injustice mid the intolerable oppres
sion of a degraded currency authenticated by law,
or in any way countenanced by the government.”
But perhaps it may he asked what is the remedy
against such evils ? Is it to he found in the utter
annihilation of tho whole hanking system ? JN’»,
Although I am Fully of the opinion that the framers
of our government, never contemplated the exis
tenco of any thing hut a metallic currency,—never
intended to authorise any thing else under the con
stiiiuion ; yet from tho indulgence extended to
Banking corporations by our State Legislatures, I
believe they have so interwoven themselves with
all the ramified interests of society, that they have
now become a necessary evil. On them, as has
been observed, our whole credit system depends;
and upon credit rehts the successful prosecution of
every branch of human occupation. But it is to he
hoped, that il is not too late to reform.
And as one step in the march of reformation, let
the people resolve to charter no more hanks, and
to elect no member to the Legislature, who will
advocate such n measure. It seems to me that no
argument is necessary to enforce the propriety of
adopting and pursuing (his determination. The
history of the present time is enough to show ns,
whence is the source of our distresses. Let ns
learn lessons of wisdom from hitler experience;
and from the light of past evils and misfortunes, let
ns steer clear of the rocks and quicksands, which
lie concealed in the mist of the mysterious and de
ceptive future.
< Consequent on this, in pursuance of the some
principle, when a charter expires by its own limi
tation, let such a hank cease to exist, —let not its
charter he renewed. This will he a gradunl me
thod of getting rid of the evil, which like a thou
sand leeches, is sucking the life-blood of mir poli
tical system ; and il will afford ample lime far all
ihe interests of trade, to adapt themselves to the
new stale of things which will ultimately ho hsmght
about. And moreover, il will afford the people an
opportunity of testing, by actual experiment, who
| flier they can do without banks or not. And should
' the result show flint they ore necessary to the sue
{ cess of commerce, they call again bo charter
ed under such re-frictions and regulations, ns will
I protect the people from their uhoniitiuhlo frauds,
{ and from their intolerable oppression
It strikes my mind, also, that. Ihe people might,
adopt u measure, which would, at least, pul them
in the altitude of self-defence, and operate us a
check upon the banks, in so much, ns it woi|d in
form them that the people their slaves (though
their creators) are not entirely easy under thehank
yoke, which is placed upon their necks. It if that
the hill-holders, whosoever they may he, go forth
with to the respective hanking houses, at uhieh
their hills are payable, and in tho presence of wit
nesses, demand the redemption of their promises
in specie, and at flie time of refusal on the part of
the hunk, inform its officer that they will claim of
the institution, interest on tho amount from the
time of demand till paid. Tho hill holder may
commence suit inslantcr, if ho think proper; if
not, lot him present the hill again on the first of
January next, the day appointed for resumption of
specie payments, and demand interest from tho
dale of the first demand. If refused, let him com
mence suit, and there is not a judge or jury in the
country, that dure not give u verdict for lawful inte
rest, fiom the date of tho first demand, together
with 10 per cent damages, according to the act pnss
cd Dec- 24,1832,* if they pay any regard whatever,
to the law which they are sworn to administer,
indeed, how could a hunk —art honest bank —if
under the canopy of I frown there he one —refuse to
pay interest under such circumstances, without
affording the necessity of resort to the enforcing
power of the law? Arc not Ihnr debtors com
pelled to pay them interest ? Can their debtors
capriciously say to them, that they will neither
pay till they choose, nor allow interest on their
‘ dues ? This being the case, in tho name of honeity,
1 is there no obligation thrown upon the hatlts,
te- flie indulgence which has been extended to
* them for the lust twelve months ? Arc they Dot
5 satisfied, with the free use of their money for more
‘ than a year past, exempt from the payment of ntc
* rest on their promisee? Having enjoyed such favors
from the people, docs not the rule of reciprocity
* in trade cull loudly upon them in the name of jus
-1 tice and common honesty, to voluntarily offer to
pay interest on all their hills now in circulation,
1 from the time when they shall bo presented for
1 redemption, till paid? Sirs, the whole tenor of
* their conduct, stamps a damning falsehood upon
J all their whining professions about “a duo regufd
* to tlio public interest.”
B The objection, which will perhaps strike the
' mind of some, to this method, is, that the persons
presenting such bills for redemption, cannot afford
’’ to retain them in their hands till the first of January,
H that they must lie thrown into circulation for the
payment of debtsor in exchange for the necessaries
h and comforts of life. But all this can bo ohviiied,
*' by making an entry on each bill, in the presence of
tbe same witnesses who saw the demand mud* for
! e its redemption in specie, by which the bill can al
i- ♦ Prince’s Digest, new edition,
ways be identified. Then it being nothing more
.8 than an ordinary negotiable promissory note, it may
c be transferred, ns the note of any private individual,
s and the transferred, would ho entitled to interest
n just ns legally, ns would the first holder, who made
n the demand. The reason of the difficulty in our
i- minds, is that we are prone to consider bank notes
o alone, as money, and not subject to tho ordinary
s legal regulations, which appertain to tho notes of
k private individuals. But tho truth is, they are
i, mere promissory notes, payable on demand, which,
i- like similar notes of an individual, draw interest
:- from the lime of demand, till paid. This course,
a universally adopted by the people, would place the
f hanks under a system of i nit rest and damage pay*
f ing, which would curtail their 111-gotten profits and
s would inform them, that although the people out of
0 abundant gullibility, had boon deceived into the
3 measure of permitting them to decide what was the
“public interest’ and of thus far acquiescing in
1 their refusal to pay their just debts, yet they would
1 not ho allowed to do sonny longer, without pay
; ilia interest to their creditors, on the hills which
f they have issued.
It has also occurred to my mind, that the general
i permission by the Stales of a system of private
} hanking, similar to that adopted by tho Loginin'uro
. of New-York, would operate us n most salutary
> check upon tho tyranny of our existing chartered
s corporations. Upon this, my mind is not settled—
-1 lam in doubt. But 1 consider if worthy of reflec
- lion and discussion. Perhaps it may ho thought,
r however, that even tho suggestion of an idea favor-
I able to such a measure, is inconsistent with the
i whole tenor and spirit of tho foregoing remarks.
1 But that such is not the case, will appear evident
* from a few considerations.
It will he remembered that I have admitted, that
s hanking system is at present a necessary evil,
. which must ho checked and gotten rid of gradually.
1 Would not thou the private hanking system, place
* individual enterprise on a ground of fair eompoti
, lion, with chartered companies? And ns the poo
, pie could got accommodations, upon as liberal
, terms at a private hanking house, us nt one speci
ally authorised by law, would it not lend to make
i the latter more obsequious to their creators, the
■ people? If it wool I have an effect of this chariic
. ter, certainly hanks would not he so independent;
mi irresponsible—the money Sampson would he
shorn of his locks.
Again ; it must he borne in mind, that eorpora
i lions invested with the exclusive privilege of
banking, are entirely the creatures of legislative
authority—called into being at the legislative will,
i Km ike right of private hanking belongs to every
citizen, and its exercise can ho prevented only, by
legislative inhibition. It is questionable, therefore,
whether the legislature has tho constitutional pow
er to prohibit private hanking, and to grant the
privilege r.ninsivrly to incorporated companies.—
I But aside from this consideration, it is evidently
f contrary to tho genius and spirit of our republican
, institutions. Il generates and fosters a spirit of
. aristocracy and monopoly, exceedingly dangerous
, to liberty. This view of tho subject then, in eon
, nexion with the acknowledged truth, that flourish
< iog commerce, is dependent, upon a sound, well
regulated system of credit, seems to lend to the
, measure of Now-York, at least the appearance of
r plausibility. For it will be borne in mind, that
hank hills,are lit this time tho circulating medium—
the representatives of value ; and that hank issues
. are little else than hills of credit, whose currency
depends upon the presumption, ilmi the specie, of
which they profess to ho the shadow, is in the
vaults of the banking room, and can he draw n up
mi at nay moment in redemption of the hills in
circulation. But how often is tins presumption,
entirely without foundation, the hunk eoffirs either
locked or drained, and credit utterly prostrated !
, 'Flie present embarrassments of the country show,
that the banking system ns now organised, does
| uit afford mi immoveable basis, on which n gene
ral, extensive credit can rest with entire ree.um.
, henry. For the specie, which is the pillar of cre
dit. like every thing else, is fluctuating iu value, is
- moveable from one place to another, according to
| the laws of demand and supply, and is not nt this
time to ho obtained from the hanks (if they hove it)
nt any price. Now will the private hanking sys-
I tom, to any considerable extent obviate the dilii-
I cully ? The solution of the question in this coun
try must he left to lime, the great arbiter oDiuman
affairs. But I cannot see hut that il will, when
regulated by proper legislative restrictions; and
(lie New-York hill, in detail, appears on paper as
1 perfect iih any thing of ihe kind can hr. it will nt
1 least furnish a more certain, fixed, and solid basis
for the hills to rest upon. Let it not ho forgotten,
that our corporaled hanks are generally required to
have within their vaults, a certain amount of spe
cie, before they run commence operations; but
having it there, the public have no security licit
it will remain twelve months ; and indeed, the pro
bability is that it will not, if an opportunity is afford
ed of selling il at live or ten percent, premium.—
Then the basis of tho fabric is gone, and the su
perstructure tumbles, ul the first touch of invcsli-
I gallon, crushing in its ruins, tho poor, and the noo
[ dy, nml the helpless, and paralyzing every nerve of
the arm of business and enterprise. Hot such can
not he the case, iflhe Nework system he adopt
-1 ed. Because,unlike our corporate institutions, the
| private banker is required by law, to deposit with
the Comptroller General of the Stale, a certain
amount of specie, to secure to him byway of mort*
I gage a certain portion of real estate, and a certain
portion of stocks. I pon the performance of vv Inch
’ condition, precedent, the comptroller certifies his
bills, and he begins operations. Now, the security
I to tho people, of this method, is three-fold. First,
i the capital secured, ns a basis for hanking opora
i lions, is not moveable, at the will or caprice of the
hanker; second, he cannot over issue, and third, he
cannot evade Ihe provisions of the act, by substi
tuting something else (ns convertible bank hills)
as our banks have been know n to do, for tho requi
site amount of capital—the hill holders are certain
that the law iu this particular has been complied
with. 'Flic signature of the < ’ornplrollcrlo each bill,
is the evidence of an authorised agent,—who has no
interest in being dishonest, —of these three impor
tant facts, facts which are essential to tho credit
of the bills. It is difficult to predict precisely w hat ■
will he the operation of new measures, hut it does
appear to me, that this will furnish a more solid
• basis for our credit system to rest upon, than is at
- present afforded by our chartered bunks. It is the
, system of England ; and where on the globe can
be found a country of more commercial import
ance ? It has succeeded in that country, without
the safeguards that are thrown about il by the N.
York legislature. And is there any peculiar dif
ference between the two countries, which will
make a hanking system flourish in the one, while
in the other the same system, under an improved
form, cannot succeed? Are not the laws and cus
, loins of commerce the same in every country ?
As above remarked, I am not prepared to udvo
r ’ cate the adoption of the system by our legislature.
Bui 1 think the measure plausible, to say the least;
. am gratified that the experiment is about to he
made in New-York, than which, no slate is better
situated to lest its expediency. What 1 have said
upon tho subject, 1 trust may elicit discussion, and
by Ihe opinions of none could 1 be more gratified,
than yours, expressed through your editorial co
