Thus stands it with the regard to the public
creditor - the Stockholder, who, on if on the
comparative return or increase as relative of general prosperity and
opulence, has in former instances seen that
part of his income reduced by one half, and
who within a period already in prospect
may be doomed by the like cause to a reduction
of income to the like amount. —
But in comparison of the interests of this
vast branch of the community what can be the amount of of all
the other particular interests put together!
and in comparison of the degree of sufferance
in this case, how trifling will be the degree
of sufferance in any of those other cases!
The destiny of the Stockholders is not hypothetical
— it originates not in the proposed
measure. It f has been fixed
made known by the legislature, and built upon for years and years, by determinations
after several times repeated and brought
to view, without a doubt from that in any other quarter
in the kind of perseverance. It is for want of means
and not of wit determination that the redemption + + with all its consequences, has not long ago been accomplished.
