The proposition was, in effect, to give to Pennsylvania, which possessed one-sixth of the stock, the power of taxing, in proportion, all the States of the Union. She possessed the larger portion of the advantages to be derived from the operations of the bank,inasmuch as she owned a larger portion of its capital. A grosser inequality, he conceived, could not be made than that proposed by the amendment. The only just and equal mode, he thought, would be by a bonus, and the one fixed by the present bill was a very large one. The charter granted to the old bank required merely a bonus of a million and a half, although that charter was for twenty years, whilst the present one, which extended it for fifteen years only, provided for the payment of a much greater consideration. It should be borne in mind, too, that it was still within the power of the States to tax the dividends on the stock of the bank. Mr. WAYNE said, it had been his intention to move an amendinent, which, if it prevailed, al though he had scarcely a hope that it would, might perhaps remove the inequality that was apprehended. It was to distribute the stock of the bank among the several States, so as to remedy the disproportion spoken of. He merely threw out this idea, at present, as a suggestion. On a future occasion, he might follow it up by a specific motion, together with a proposition to limit the discounts, in the several States,in a manner commensurate with the amount of stock held within them respectively. Provided, That nothing contained in this act shall be construed to exempt the property or stock of the said bank, from liability to State taxation. Mr. WAYNE proposed an amendment to the effect that the branch bank shall be taxed at the rate of one per cent. upor, the capital assigned to them by the parent bank. The subject had not been disposed of when our last intelligence was received.
