REMARKS OF Mr.. WALL in the Senate


January 16, upon the motion to reject the
Bill presented by Mr. Boyd of Alfalfa, amend.
ing the charter of the Mississippi Union Bank


Mr. Wall said that he had not intended to


participate in the present dscussion,' but in
lasmuch as the ayes and noes have been
called for, consequently it developed upon him
to give his reasons why he should vote 10
reject.


In the first place, Mr.. President, deem it
unnecessary to 60 into the merits Of the Bill,


at this moments it would be a consumption
Iof time. | am fully satisfied that if the chair


had been called upon, it would have decided


the Bill out Of order. This point | will not
urge at the present time, but will only advert


to few facts which will throw some light
ION the subject. At the late session of this


Legislature, Joint select committee was rails
led, who reported to each house, that the fun
damental principles of that Bill, could not be
amended in the details, only by supplement
tai act. That report was received and agreed
TO, which was entered upon the journals of
the Senate. Well, sir, here is a bill present
ed IN the face Of lthat report, uprooting the
very foundation Of the original bill. Yet the
Senator from Atalla processes to be a stickler
for order, and is one OF the most tochinal
men in the Senate.


The Senator from Alfalfa asks that his Bill
should be printed, and says, us matter of
courtesy, should not object; was it not for
the effect that | am well aware it would have
upon the circulation Of the bills Of the Union
Bank-when | contrast the bearing which the
present Bill will have, if ever countenanced byI
the Senate, with extending little courtesy
to the Senator from Alfalfa, all personal, po-
litical and courteous feelings arc laid aside
by me. owe duty to my country and will
perform it, at all hazards. Mark me, Mr..
President, if this bill should be countenancei
by the Senate, the Union Bank will feel it
sensby abroad; yes sir, the citizens of our
State will feel the effects as soon as the news
reaches New Orleans. The post notes Of
the Bank will sink under par, SO soon as the
news reaches; and who suffers the people of
sir, who now hold the paper Of
the Bank.


| must insist even though it should be un-
to the Senator from AttaIa, that the
Union Bank be suffered to proceed under its
present charter, and give it fair and impair


al trial. And | call upon those who have
borne the burthen in the heat Of the day to be
more in unison and put this question at rest
And should it become necessary to scan some
If the provisions Of the Senator's amendment ,
hey will be found to be far more arduous than
my to be found in the original charter. c


The amendment was rejected by vote orIC
fifteen TO thirteen. {
