Anthony, of Pennsylvania, on the Memorial of the Citizens of Lycoming County, Pa., Against the Restoration of the Public Deposites and Recharter of the Bank of the United States The memomal which I have the honor to present to the House IS signed by about 4, 600 inhabitants, principally legal Voters in my Dis 'trict. They state that the commercial and manufacturing portions of the district are suffering under great pecuniary embarrassments, which, they attribute to the hostility of the Executive to thebank of the Unit cd States. Well, sir, I will not deny that such embarrassments exist. When my constituents come here to memoralize Congress. Through me, their representative, that they are suffering under pecuniary difficul ties, I will not stand up here to deny the fact. I will not pretend to know their own business better than they know it themselves. No, sir, I rather sympathize with them in their distress, and will co 0p erate ln every measure which I..may deem expedient for their relief. But when this dis'tress 1s not of a local, but a general nature, when it pervades not one district of the countryr only, but the whole 'countr I must entertain my own Opinion as to its causes. It IS not, sir, that I have any want of respect for the opinions of the gentlemen who have instructed me. Some of them I know personally - many of them I know by reputation - r-and I will not pretend to put my judgment in comparison with theirs. But our opinions do not always depend upon ourselves, nor can we change them as we will. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
