tfoio voting, to explain my view?, and,

present a jircrramme of a constitutional Bank Institution, founded upon the pro. position long since referred, which was f jure if Hot de facto involved in the le port and resolutions of the committee. I have yet some consolation in prospect the subject is not finally disposed of -it cannot he under uh a decision as the sufficiency or insufficiency of the reasons of the Secretary of the Treasury for his course cannot be evaded. The first resolution fo pledge the house not to re charter the present Bank w as not legitimately referred to the Committee becau-e the Bank alone could ask for a re-charter and has not I would not therefore vote, hut to lay that resolution 00 the table, which (ailing, I rvas under no obligation to vote directly to give a useless pledge merely to gratify either party. I hHd a wholesome ollernative in view and could never sanction a league of State individual Cor poratioti Bat;ks. over whomCongress could exori.e no control, not allowed by Stite charters, and through whom any udmitus n ation in power, holding the deputies ne-cc-suil) at their command, could operate to ' unish" antl reward' as an al read tremendous and overhearing patronage might prompt But this is a small on-Merat ton when compared wtlh the "tu ition and pnsifion of the people I re present with a balance of trade against them, and a fmd system draining every .ent of yood money out of the country, (i;ood money passing fiom wett to east like the traveller lo the silent and return le-s hmirn.) I knew they never could be henefitted as they should by their labor, industry, antl improvements. 1 knew that they could never become prosperous as they ought to be , unless they could obtain a currency under the auspices of the Union that would throughout everv state be as good as silver and gold. I fear the intricacy and importance of the subject is not always sufficiently reflected upon at home: nnd ided?ed to advocate such a currency, I could oulv array myself on the sovereignty and equal rights of the people, neither advocating the existing U S Bank, nor euppoi ting the dangeious powers claimed lor the men in ofh e. 1 believe it is the duty of the people's im mediate representatives, fo control the people s nvmey, and to provide a uniform currency ; and if they fail to do this, they fail to perform their duty. The value of a Bank note depend upon its convei ttbil ity and use: w ithout these qualities it must depreciate and corporation mouopo five and in eome instances fifty per centum. Why, there is not more thsm Two Dolj(trs per fit ad to each hum m being with in the limits ot (he United States in coin, and the rich man possessed of gold and silver coin would become bv such a reern lation, worth three limes the sum he now is, and (he labor of the poor would depreciate to the same deplorable extent . '1 be western merchant would le compelled to pay as much for the transportation of his specie as he would for the transportation of hi o-onda 'Vho frt is n trrripral oa per currency is the only one that can he equal the loss ol time with the risk -the delay of transportation and other consul erations, interesting to civ constituents, will readily occur, as creating a tix that would soon be intolerable to them under such an exclusive system, even if coin were in the countrv. But this we know flof thp case anil the fluctuating value charter remains unexpired: ann wnn a j view to that, you well know two years ! are allowed alter its exfiration to collect its debts. The tule withdrawal theretore of the deposites without any evidence (hat that institution is unsafe, impair? the contract destroys confidence, and pro-I luces the existing state of things; for the , Bank to save itself was compelled to call in Irom circulation an amount of paper equal to the means taken from it; and tour limes (lie amount cl capital in (he State Bank, would not enable (hem to supply the want; because the circulation of tin ;r paper is limited and it returns fjr redemption soon after tt is issued. I voted against all the resolutions presented by the committee, except the first, and as 1 am prepared to present a plan for a general currency, which avoids the consMlutional objection to a chattel, and will benefit all the States and the people. I could not in any vvav touch that tal-e is sue which was not properly bcfoie the houae If one corporation under the con trot of Curcrees be dangerous; how much more po to the freedom ol ihe people, j would be the Luedisd leagued corpoia-
