Ahe time sudi renewals were made; and, aUo whether such loans in each caso were made by tne directors or otherwise, and by what authority , Tho undersigned suppose it ?POUe to , mistalce the general purport of calls like these. Irom their minuteness of sncafication, they may be supposed to aimat particular individuals. Ofany such rpforpnre tbo undersigned are without accurate

knowledge; and nothing is further from their design than to impute to their respected colleagues the pursuit of any unparliamentary or improper object. They cheerfully concede to them what they claim for themselves, to have acted with a single eyo to public duty, in their apprehension of it. But the undersigned are free to confess, that they regard the undeniable purport of resolutions liko thoso repealed as highly objectionable. They seem to convey a general insinuation out of place, above the region of the partisan pTess. The charge suggested i3 that of bribery and corruption so common as to authorize a general search. This is a crime unquestionably, which may, if sufficient grounds exist, he rightfully charged on any director of the Bank, or member ofcongrcss; but which the undersigned regard as tooserious to bo thus charged without such strong grounds of presumption. It is true that it might seein gratuitous, in the undersigned, to be-over forward in repelling such a charge. In the existing division of parlies, they . and their political friends are not found on thatsidc 'of the House, which it was necessary for the Bank

to buy or bribe. Tho honorable and high-minded

men who compose the majority in the House, po

litically attached to the administration, and opposed . to the Bank, do not need the aid of the undersigned, to show the injustice of a general imputation upon their characters. But something unquestionably is duo to tho general reputation of the two Houses of Congress. If individuals arc, on clear "rounds, suspected of being thus corrupted; if the Bank on reasonable grounds, is suspected of this highest breach of privilege, let the individuals criminated be named; the charge be stated in form;

their ignorance, whether they should be called on to testify,) expressed a purpose not to testify to the matters of the inquiry, in consideration of the character of the inquiry, and their own relation to it, as corporators and directors. But as none of the persons summoned were required by the Committee to testify, no actual refusal to testify took place, and consequently no contempt (supposing an actual re

fusal would have been such contempt, which the

undersigned do not admit) was committed bv the

directors against the authority of the House.

ihc undersigned are aware that, supposing the process validjin its object,substance, form, and service, it was matter of indifference, as far as the question of right is concerned, what book or books the directors were required by it to produce. But they cannot but express the opinion, that a demand for the credit books of the Bank, showing the accountsof every individual with the institution, was the last which, in a tender regard to the rights and feelings of third persons, it would have been expedient to make. So sacred is the confidence of individuals dealing with the bank, that tho charter exempts the state of their accounrs from the weekly inspection which tho Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to make,and the by-laws, which have been in force from the foundation of the institution, forbid a director, without special authority, to inspect the

cash account of individuals. To require the directors to take from the banking house, convey througb the public street, and open for inspection in tho

chamber of a hotel, the book containing the account of every individual with the bank, would seem to indicate the purpose of putting to the severest test the power of the House, tho obedience of the Bank, and the patience of innocent third parties whose vital interests might be jeoparded in this procedure. In conclusion, the undersigned would observe, that neither of them gave his vioce for the resolu

tion creating a committee, nor deemed the inquiry,

in many of its objects, necessary or proper. 'Ihey

TO THE EDITOR. Extract of a Idler, dated Washington, May 30th, 133-1. Whether the Senate will or will not respond, as to the day fixed to put an end to this already protracted session, is to be seen. My own opinion is

they will agree to a more distant day say 10th or 15th July. This is mere opinion, based upon the fact, that the time is too short, too limited to enable the House to act upon that portion of the bills upon our table, admitted by all of vital importance to the people and to the nation. The appropriation bills have not as yet been acted upon in the Senate,

and but two as yet have passed from this house

Senate, giving the right of pre-emption to 100 acres of land fur 2 years, from and after its passage. This bill was opposed by most of the Ohio dele-

iihuuu oi me xiouse oi itepresemauves oi me United States, appointed on tho 4th day of April, 1831, in their chamber in the North American hotel, in tho city of Philadelphia, and to bring with them the credit books of said Bank, on the 10 th day of May instant, at the hour of 12 M., then and there to testify touching tho matters enumerated in the said resolution, and to submit said books to said committee for inspection. The undersigned entertained, and still entertain . great doubts of the legality of this process. The inquiry alluded to in the process is, among other things, into "the abuses, corruptions and malpractices of tho Bank," thatjs, tho crimes and misdemeanors of its officers and directors; and the process just recited is intended to be a summons to a majority of the directors and the chief officers of the Bank to appear and testify, as individuals, to the matters of that inquiry; that is, to their own crimes and misdemeanors, with a view, as the resolution of the committee expressed it of inquiring "whether such prosecutions viz. a criminal prose

cution should bo instituted." The undersigned Iiavo already argued at length, and attempted to show, that the power reserved in tho charter, of; sending a committee to inspect the books and examino tho proceedings of the Bank, and report j whether its charter had been violated, conferred no right of compelling the production of the books out of the Bank, and the appearance of the directors to submit to an examination on .oath as to their innocence or gulit, of tho unspecified crimes and misdemeanors laid to their charge. In like manner the undersigned have expressed their decided conviction that the general power of inquiry possessed

by tho House can havo no rightful extention to a case liko this. It follows, by necessary consequence, that no process, having for its object to compel the directors to appear before the committee, and bring with them the books of the Bank to be inspected, and to testify touching the matters of such an inquiry, could be legal. The object of the process was unauthorized by law. Incident to this fatal objection to the process, is another not less so. A subpoena duces tecum is a . process, not issuing to the party criminated or im

plicated in the trial, or interested in the suit, but toathirdpersonto"appcarand2lbring with him any paper in his possession, which may be lawfully used as evidence in the trial or suit, without prejudice to the person summoned, or his title. The process of the committee was intended to bo addressed to thoso whose abuses, corruptions, and malepracticcs were the subjects of inquiry; and the book they were ordered to bring with them, was to be used in their own crimination. The form of the process, and its mode of service, arc believed by the undersigned to be not less objectionable than its obiect, and enuallv fatal to its

investigating each according to its nature; of in

specting the books and examining the proceedings of the Bank according to tho charter, that is, in reference to all objects which, by tho charter, are

properly subjects of such inspection and examination; or in regard to which the directors might voluntarily submit them for inspection; and of inquiring into tho other matters referred to them, as far

as, on consideration, they should deem tho com

mittee competent to do so. Of all these objects, the undersigned confess that they regarded that which stands foremost in tho resolution as vastly the most important; an inquiry into tho causes of tho present distress. It was their firm persuasion that the country demanded this inquiry of Congress. A number of memorials and of subscribers to them, greater by far than havo at any former period come before Congress, invoked tho aid of the National Legislature to relieve them from a state of unexampled distress. An embarrassment unusually extensive and severe.

and not yet essentially alleviated, demanded an inquiry into its causes. It was alleged on the one hand, to bo wantonly produced by the Bank; and, on the other, to be the unavoidable consequence of tho financial policy pursued by the Executive. Tho undersigned wished to make this the first, as it was infinitely the most important object of their investigation; to receive tho testimony of the most enlightened merchants and men of business, in the intelligent community to which they were sent,

(who might be willing to appear before them, as to tho extent and causes of the distress; to receivo from the Bank those statements of its affairs, which

they are well persuaded it would most cheerfully have afforded, and which would have illustrated its whole course in the difiicult and trying position into which it has been thrown; and from all other

persons, on whom the committee would havo had a right to call, their testimony as to the manner in which this measure of the Executive has been taken up and carried on. Such an examination, the undersigned believe, would have been useful to Congress; satisfactory to the people; and powerfully efficient in leading to the removal of the heavy burdens now lying on lliem. This object first accomplished, as it was the first in the precept of the House, tho undersigned would have proceeded to consider the violations of the charter; and as the resolution of the House does not confine tho inquiry to those violations which the Bank has been

charged, they would have deemed themselves authorized to extend theirresearches to those of which

the Bank complains, particularly to the removal of j

the deposites tor reasons not deemed satisfactory by Congress, as now appears of record on the journal of one of tho Houses of Congress. If, after these inquiries had been gone through, it had still

priations lor the various departments, and even to omcial acts but would endeavor to act as the Lxc

legal character; but on this topic they omit to j bended in the resolution, that they required or ad-

dwell.

Notwithstanding tho strong objections to its legality, the persons to whom it was addressed, individuals unsurpassed for probity, intelligence, and weight of character in the community, treating it with the respect duo to the House of Representatives, obeyed its call, and appeared before the committee at their chamber in the North American hotel. Their answer to tho summons was communicated in writing, and appears among the documents

paper No. 48. They state therein that they do

not produce the books of the bank, because they are not in the custody of either of them, but in that

of the Board of Directors. By the Board, it will

.bo recollected, the books had been confided to a

committee ot their number, to be by them submit

ted to the Committee of Investigation. If it were

the purpose of the committee of the House to address their process to the parly having the actual

possession ot tne books, it would seem that tho

Committee ofthe Directors was that party delegated

uy ine uoard, ana recognised throughout the trans

action as their agent, by the committee of the

House. If on the other hand, it were intended to

address it to the party to whom the books ultimateiii .. . . . .

ly Deiongcu, it would seem that it should have gone to the corporation.

The written answer ofthe directors (after slating

mitted further investigation, the undersigned would

cheerfully have co-operated in the work, resorting to

every source of information, legally available, as far as the same could, by the charter, be required from

the Bank, or legally received or compelled from any other quarter. If, in the progress of such an in

vestigation, so conducted, disclosures had been

made of matter requiring or authorizing any further procedure on the part of the House, the undersigned would not have been behind the most zealous

of their associates, in denouncing it to tho House

and the country. A different view of their duty was, however, taken by their colleagues, resulting in a series of measures, from which the undersigned unfortunately found themselves obliged to dissent. Butwhilo there was a form, in which the undersigned were prepared to meet every oartof the resolution under which the committee 'was raised the form most consonant to the wants and wishes ofthe country, (to which all other matters of party crimination are insignificant, compared with the great question of the causes, the just responsibility, and the remedies ofthe present sore distress) the form unquestionably in which the resolution was

viewed by one considerable class of those who vo

I mil mat, in the range and character proposed to be

take ten thousand dollars from the salary ofthe Pre

sident himself. Indeed the fact of making an appropriation for the President's salary, if it be true, a3 stated, that all the money of the people was in

his possession and subject to his control, would have been useless, and is an acknowledgment of the falsehood of the charge. Such are some of the gross absurdities in which the coalition and friends of the bank have involved themselves, in their fierce chase to hunt down the President and Vice President. But enough of this let the people read and judge for themselves. The United States Bank has refused, utterly refused, to submit to any examination, or to oive any

evidence by and before the committee of this House. Though the power to make such examination is in the charter, and though, in 1319 and ''2, such committees were appointed and such examinations submitted to by the Bank, and made by the committees. The Bank has set the authority of this House at defiance by such refusal. Is there a man in this nation who can doubt, for one moment, the cause of such refusal! The Bank had been charged with corruption with a violation of its charter corrupting the press and interfering

with the elections ofthe country with oppression of being the author of all the distress that has prevailed in the country, to the ruin of thousands, in order to force a recharter tho cause of the loss of all public and private confidence the principal, if not the entire cause of all the distress which has

prevailed, and to some extent, may still prevail, in some parts of this country. Now, thus charged, officially charged, by the Government Directors, the

President and the Secretary of the Treasury, I say again, is there an American who does or can believe that, if these charges were not true, the President and Directors ofthe Bank, who alone know ofthe truth or falsity of the several charges, would not have courted, invited and submitted to any and every possible examination Who is it, from all experience, that avoids examination Not the innocent he courts it, invites it. Scrutiny manifests to the world his innocence. Not so with the guilty. Investigation can but expose him, and therefore he avoids the one, to suppress the other. This is judging the Bank by the common and nr.

dinary rules and principles of law and common sense. A man has evidence of title in his i.ncn..

pared his friendship for the gallant Colonel, with that

of Gov. Xoble showing to our mind, conclusively, a

devotion on the one hand, springing up spontaneously in the bosom, in consequence ofthe congeniality of their sentiments, and on thc other a cold calculating policy, which plainly indicated a desire to be Governor of Indiana. Mr. Read in the course of his remarks, gave his views at some length on the subject of the public lands. He opposed the principles contained in .Mr.

Clay's land bill, and warmly advocated a graduation

and reduction of price.

hat would have produced such a result? An examination, and a favorable report, that all these charges were unfounded. Again a still more simple illustration: A young man has been in the employ of a respectable mer chant for some 5 or 10 years as a clerk he goes abroad, applies to an equally respectable merchant for employ someone comes forward and charges him with having acted dishonestly while in the employ of the first merchant, and that for that reason was discharged. The merchant about to employ him, informs him of these facts, and the youn man pronounce them false that he left, possessing the confidence of his employer. The merchant propo-

perpetuating thc liberties of thc country. He gave the Governor a home thrust in Elating the language of his first message, with regard to the course of our Senators on this subject. Indeed the language of that message will look quite discreditable to our State, when taken in connection with the official documents of Congress showing a blind zeal in defence of Mr. Clay's project, that would stop at nothing, or an unpardonable ignorance of facts. Either horn of the dilemma, we presume, will set rather uncomfortably upon the Governor's stomach. Mr. Read also briefly noticed the course pursued by the Governor, at the last canvass, in decrying party, and the pledge he gave, that, if elected, it would not be

any time after thc election. I have had the honor to bo associated a3 one of your representatives, with Doct. Kzra Ferris and Walter Armstrong both of Lawrenceburghand Judge Watts of Ciesav Creek; the latter wa3 my room mate and ho with whom I was more closely connected. I refer you to thoso gentlemen for my course on former occasions and inoro especially to Judge Watts.
