it would at last have made another batik neces-

The case is pretty mtich the satne in otir large

ctties, The success .of speculators generally
depends upon the last buyer; and in transac-
tions ofa million of dollars, one thousand may
not be employed. Now to test the matter, let
me ask, does speculation withdraw capital from
' circulation? Is there less money in the market
at such periods? On the contrary, istliere not.
rather, an abundance ofit? Not that specula-
tors actually make use oftliis abundant capital.
for the contrary is the fact. The abundance in-
spires general confidence. \Vlien capital is
withdrawn, so is public confidence, and specu-
‘Iation subsides. I Another test is the question-
Arcfthose who fail now, all speculators; and

‘ are even a moiety oftliose who have speculated

and now fail, victims of speculation? The ob-
vious answer is Yes. The true one No. And
wejustify it in this way: those who stop pay-
inetit, do so with ample assets; but they stop
for want of bank aecomitiodtitions-—bccausc mo-
ney is not to be Iiad fortwice its current value.
The man who fails through speculations. is
bankrupt in all his resources; and he does this
just as tnucli in a time of general prosperity as
All kinds oftrade is speculation

New, Sir, the tresetitstatc oftliings,bcars no
analogy to any thing that ltas happened in this

den glut, after a long deficiency. Tltcri fol-

§_\'Ill;’.‘ll has overtaken the comitiercial interests of
the country, and which threatens to produce gen-
eral bankruptcy, may be in a great measure
ascribed to theinterfereneeoftlie General Gov-
erumeut with the coniiitercial and business opera-

curreticy ; its destruction of the national batik ;
its attempt to substitute a metallic for a credit
currency; and finally, to the issuing by the
President of’ the United States. oftlte Treasury
order, known astlie ‘Specie Circtilar.'

Resolved. That xvhile we would do nothing

spect for the laws. we feel it incumbent upon us
