in aoaaona ufordinary prosperity, I estimate (which is
very near appminnniion to the truth) at nnr /tioirfrc

twelve millions. This, ifs(iecio he used, is an aetus
, capital to that amnnnl, which during the tmiu it an

! it by any contrivance, you can substitute any ailiel
! that will cost nothing, lor one half this specie, yuti n
: Irase the sperm from its function nf a mere ciiculatiu

nf a circulating medium, will flow abroad and lm lost ii
the circulation the whole world, or at Inst will product
no appreciable effect on the currency ef our own country
liy the substitute of a sound convertible paper currency
for gold and silvei to the extent of one half the cireula

that the national wealth la increased to the full nmnun
ofaevrniy five millions, and that uf Virginia to the a
mount of six tnilliona, without producing any injtiiioni
consequences whatever. Fur Ihe soundness nf them

V irgima? It is not here now', will it come here with
out an equivalent? What equivalent have we to give
lor it? I'he State and the people are deeply in debt
Every crop sold, even if it were to bring specie into the
State, which ninety-nine times in a hundred ia not tin
case, goes to pay debts. If the money comes among us
will it remain as a circulating medium? It cannot, s<
long as we are in debt abroad. When will our indebl
edneas, State and individual, be diacharged7 If
20 years, even with the moat rigid economy? I
apprehend not; arid antil the routing of that mil
lennial period, however distant, we ran never expect
to enj«.y the felicity of having a pufe metallic currency,
Are you willing to wait for ita coming, and in the mean
tune live without money, to please the visionary enthu
siasts of the day?
In the country, we requite an economical as well as a
sound currency. None hut the oldest and wealthiest nl
nations, unless they have within themselves, like S.
America, rich mines of tha precious metals, esn afford
a purely metallic currency. New and poor countries
have been compelled hy necessity before the intro
duction of Banks of issue, to resort to iron, copper,
shells, tobacco, salt, skins, as a circulating medium.

fear, if visionary doctrines of the hard money democrats
shall prevail, be compelled to resort to similar rxprdi

remarked—we shall bo soon under the necessity of pay
ing large debt* with cows and using the calves for
change. Bui aa cattle are now telling in the West, it

in New Turk is unprecedented. One Haul, tit Wall

lind Isirrnwers who Could give tig requisite security. Tim
nnmplsint there, upon all hands, is that it cannot be lent
nut exespt at less than legal interest. These capitalists
will not lend uur people in Virginia, this money,because
they want confidence in our ability or willingness In pay.
Hut how readily this surplus treasure of the North,
‘ might bo transferred to the South, through the itistru
mentality of a National Hank. What heller investment
could the nothern capitalists make of llmir idle money,
than in llm stock id's well regulated National Hank —
; And through Us branches in Virginia, linw readily and
naturally it would lie mads to circulate among us. The
issues of sill'll a hank rnoreoror, would not be affected by
mir indebtedness abroad as tlm issues of llm .Stale banks,
