The banks in Boston, which do not issue notes bearing interest, are the Massachusetts, Boston, Union, New England and Manufacturers' and Mechanics". The Boston banks had, in June, 1825, cash deposited, (including all sums whatever, due from the banks not bearing interest-bills in circulation, profits and balances due to other banks excepted), amounting to $1,791,011 in its vaults amounting to 71,037, being a greater amount than any one of the Boston banks had, the largest being the Union bank, which had $61,715. The Bebford Commercial bank had $63,738." By the official bank returns for June, we find, in many instances, it is impossible to judge of the true state of the banks, they vary so much in the "total amount due to the bank" and the "total amount of the resources of the bank." We will instance a few as a specimen:Total amount due Total amount of from the bank resources of the bank Mr. Hamilton has told us that, "it is certainly true, We find by the official return for June, 1825, that the that the state legislatures, by forbearing the appoint-Worcester bank, with a capital of $200,000, had specie ment of senators, might destroy the national govern ment." But he well knows how to mark his points and to limit his arguments to his purposes. For, if he had gone but one thought farther, and had demonstrated, with another flourish of his pen, (which was the wand that converted almost every argument touched with it, by that great political magician, into whatever shape, or color, or substance, he pleased), as he might easily have done, that there was a THOUSAND TIMES MORE DANGER to the "national government," from the "RIGHT OF INSTRUCTION," than there was from the right of election, by the legislatures-he, Mr. Hamilton, would have defeated the object of his argument, and would have been disappointed in the establishment, of "distinct orders" in the states. For instancelet us suppose that an appropriation is necessary to defray the expenses of the government-that the "factious in the legislatures" combine; and that the senators are "instructed;" the bill would be negatived and the national government destroyed! This, and many other equally fatal cases, might have been supposed and demonstrated-but this would have been enough: no lover of the union, no patriot, no rational man, would have yielded, for a moment, to the right of instruction, with the right of election, by the legisla Beverly, 64,457 163,207 253,376 221,438 Newburyport, 82,166 292,166 Oxford, 7,171 174,669 Pacific, 224,476 424,476 44,576 144,163 94,399 984,561 162,252 298,420 MAINE BANKS.
