It is a well ef- tablifcd Fact that Banks give no indulgence, that the moment their paper becomes due payment U exacted, and woe betides that man who fads in punctuality. I would im- prels this BuSt on the community at large, I would warn the farmer that he will get no afiiitanee from this Bank without fecurity on his property, and that, fatlrng pun'ct i*\l- ity, that property will immeoi-jteiy be fold for the liquidation of his debt, X would aik the faruicrj after he had received money, I mean paper, from this Bank, even to the full value of his eftate, how he would dif- pole cf that paper io as to yield himhlr prof¬ it, pay the difcount to ilie Bank, for they too are looking for s profit, and enable him to retire his notes in due feafoc ? (Perhaps he di-C6 not know that the ufual Bank cred¬ it is 60, the longelt 90 days.) 1 mutt con- fefs that to me it appears impofhble ; it ap¬ pears to me that the indufirious h\.\. unfoit..- nate farmer's laud would be fold, himivlf xu- i.ied, and his helplefs chddien left dettitnte, I would aili the fa.mtr whef^er it would not be n.o,e prudent to trult to the generofuy and indulgence of the merchant who has fupporied hint thn 11 h )m difficulties, at. ! bv vvhofe friendly forbearaii^e the agricuitu- rbh of this diftriet have been enabled to aij 1,/eac their p.tLui cur.f,rt..bie ii-.uitin $ 1 would afk whether it i> likely that tins merchant, who in common with the fjrmer, has ftruggled ih'ongh all tiie privations and anxieties attendant on a new fettlcment, now arrived a: comparative maturity, would, at inch a moment crumble id dull a work of hisown ra'finer •? it would belike a faJt.-i n.iirdermg his own child at the very period lie had. reached maturity, and afforded the comfortable profpecl of being the psop aud fo'ace of hid declining acre.
