Bank IN liquidation. And here again they
show their love for entire repudiation Of pro-
misses, their love for ban kers. their disre-
gard for The Interests of the people, and the
interested notices upon which they act


Many of the repudiating members of The
legislature owed the bank, and if it were
put in liquidation, they would be compelled
to pay up. 1.-THE bank were not touched,
they relied upon the honest prejudice of iu-
rors, who had been fleeced by the bank,
through the agency Of these very pet bor-
rowers, to give verdIcts in their favor, when
sued. Their sagacity in this matter was
much clearer than thlir honesty; and men
who had been the pets of the banks, their
loudest advocates. and of course Obtained the
largest loans from them-who, by re-
fusing to pay the bank, had rendered it una

these very pet borrowers raised such a
cry against bank frauds, that they con-
cealed their own frauds from the people, and

should have been paid for the benefit ofthe
bond holders and the note holders OF the
bank, refused to put it in a situation where
they could be compelled to pay. The un-
indebted repudiators, having the same con-
slant sympathy for swindliDg bankers and
their pets, went with the indebted members;

mated, by committee efthe Legislature, to
be worth over four millions of dollars, with

ders If the repudiators had done what IN
law and justice they were required TO do Oh

themselves to the people to perform, by
winding up the bank, the Union Bank

ity of the state discharged, and the blight of
Reputation would not now have rested upon
