The Plaster j of Paris was put on to assist the cotton in case of drought or ordinary season, hut rainy as the year was, I should say, judging from former experiments with it, that the Plaster did no good.

At tho meeting of the stockholders of the Charleston Bank to consider the act of the Legislature proposing additions to the charters of the ditfrront bunks of the State a report was read which had been made by a comrtiidee of the directors of the bank appointed to consider the subject.

The lion.

W. Con- j Hen Esq., as follows: , j The Committe to whom was referred the letter'of lit# Excellency the Governor, j containing the late act. <*f the Legislature, entitled " an net to provide against the | s ispension of>pecic payments by the bmksj of this State," have had the same under i consideration, and after bestowing ujwm the subject all the consideration, due toils importance, they entirely concur in the'! opinion that the act in question dons not apply to the Bank of Charleston, and was j never intended fodo so.by the Legislature that enacted it. The Committee feel that it would be ' iKom fn Iftlffi] ! - quit?

Another part of the object of the Legis. laturo appears to !>a to proviie for tho ex- i ami nation an i publication of the Banks B/inmnfj. Thr? It ink of Charleston has never affected concealment of hcraffdrs, ; bat on the contrary has always made pr rioJical exhibits of her affairs io lh;? public: j neither do the Committee do ibt the t\. { podiency of Banks making proper exhib- j its to their stockholders and tho puhjic, ; but they arc at t lie same ume of the opin- t ion, that the monthly stateiq *nts proviJo I ! for in the act, would nptouly fail to nc- j comjdish the object intended, but would, under certain circumstances, prove injurious and oppfsiye to the public. So tar, therefore, as the principles involved in the i law arc concerned, no difference as to tin1 i interest or policy between the Legislature the Bank of Charleston exists. But what are the circumstances under which the Bank of Charleston is called upon to accept the conditions of the law, as ari amendhtent to her charter? The Jew meditates reproach, and contemplate-. MMgggggggWMBi punishment to the extent of forfeiture, fo the suspension of spocia payments by th Banks. How or why is thisto apply to th Bank of Charleston ? She did not sus pend, or refuse (he payment of her note | in legal coin, at the time and on the oc casion that gave rise to this law ; but, o I the contrary, remainded true to the ob ject of her institution, and continue promptly .and in good faith to meet a her engagements. Shall the Bank c Charleston, then, by accepting that aci admit what is not true, or subject itself t reproach or punishment which belong t no act or the Bank, and which the Corr miitee are satisfied was not intended ther act itself/ Shall the Stockholders. to< j by the acceptance of those prov isions, n tablish the precedent, or recognize th power on the part of the Legislature t annul or amend the chapter of the Ban at their pleasure ? This is the aspect ur I der which it becomes us to consular til case, ai 1 up > i the result of which are ir j voived consequences?! the highest imnoi tauce both to the S uckholJers and th ! public. j To Board of Directors of this Ban no mo; it for del tg that -which the i I'.y to :?i e'ves an i the Bank require !
