may aitainctTana e.xeUed by.nVanaof a . National Bank. The winch I am well known to vest mo in any evest froni proposing or asscntto that remedy; but ip addiUbntd this, I cannot, after past experience, bring* myself to think that it can any longer be extensively regarded as ef* Teclive for such a purpose.. The history of the Into National Bank through all-its mutations ehows ihll it was not so.; On tho,contrary,' it may, after a careful.coDsidcrationdf the subject,be, 1 think, safely Elated, thatafe’very period of banking excess ft tookIhe lead; that in*18l7, and - 1818, in 1823, in 1631,* and in 1834, its vdft expansions, followed by didtrcssii/g contractions, t led to those of tho State institutions. It swelled and maddened the tides of the banking system, but seldom allayed, or safely directed them. At a few periods a salutary control exercised, bat an eager desire, on the contrary, exhibited for profit Vu the first place; and if, after-* wards, its measures Were fievcrc'towards. other institutions, it was because-iuf own safoty com* pellet it to adopt them.' It did not differ from them in principle or in form; tfs inpisurcs emanated from tho same spirit of {rain; it felt the same temptation to over issuej tt suffered from, 1 and'was totally unable to avert, those inevitable Jaws of trade, hy which it was* itself affected equally with them; and at least oh ono occasion, - at an early day, it was saved only by extraordinary exertions from the same fato that attended the weaken institution it professed to supervise. In 1837 it failed, equally with others, in r&deeih- , ing its notes,though in twoyears allowed by its -charter for tlrit purpose had not expired, a large amount of wli ich remains to the present lime put-, standing. 1 It is true, that having so vist a capital, and stren ;tencd by thcuscofoU tho revenues .of the Government, liposeesscd more power; but While it was itself,.by thit circumstance,.freed. , from the control jvhich all banks require, its par-, amount object and inducement .\verfc Jeff - the same—ip make the most for its stockpioldcis, not lo regulate- the currency* of the . coUniry,| Nor has it, as fir as vve arc advised,been.found' (o 1 bo greatly otherwise elsewhere, Tho national character given to the Bank ofGngfand ids" pot prevented excessive lluctualions in their* currency; and it'proved.unable to keep off a suspension of specie payments,*; which lasted for nearly a quarter ofa century. And why should .wp expect it lo be’otherwise! A national institution, ' though dcriving its cljarlcr from adifferent dourcc than thoSiare banks, is yet constituted upon (he same principles; is conductcd.by tneri.equally exposed to icmptation; and is liable to tho same disasters, wiltrihf additional diaad vaiuagcThatiU mggnitude occasions an extent of ajnfoaion and distress which the mismanagement of smallerineliluiions could not produce. It can scarcely)be doused that Ihe recent the United Slates Bank of Pennsylvania, of which.the .effects arc felt not in that Slate atone, but over half * the Union, had-its origin in a course of business cctimi.nccd while it was a national institution; and there is no gcoJ.reason ftf supposing that the nine consequence# would not have -followed had it still derived, its powers from tho Government/ U is fn vain, when thd Influences and impulses are ihe same, lo looTTfor a differtuce in conduct or results. By such, creations we do, therefore, but increase thh mass of paper credit and paper emrehey; without);'checking their a’.ftmhiu evils and fluctuations.;, tent of power and the efficiency of organization which wo give, so far from being beneficial; arc, in practice, positively injurious. 'They strengthen‘the chain cf dcpcndancc'throughout* the Union, ’subject alt parts more certainly to common disaster, and-bind every bajjk'nhrn- eficc* -tufiy, in the first instance, to those of our comcities, aml. in the eiid, loiaYorcigti power, -In a word, I cannoflut believe .that;.-with the full understanding of the operations of our banking system which experience has produced, jnlblic sentiment less opposed to the creation of a National Bank for purposes connected with currency and commerce, than for .those donnected with the fiscal operations of the Government. * • i ■; ;

Tito weight which presses upon a. large portion of-the people and the Slates, is an enormous debt, foreign and domestic.

Yet the commerce and currency of. I lie country ere suffering evils frbm tha operations of the Sutc banks which can not and ought not to bo overlooked- By their means,, we have been Seeded with* a depreciated paper, which tt was evidrnlly'tho design of the framers of .siitutionto prevent, when they required'Con-' grees to “coin money arid regulate- the valtio of foreign coins,’! and when they, forbade, tlie ■ States “to coin money, emit bills of credit, make tv any thing but gold and silver a tender in psyy meat of debts,” or “pay's any law impairing the obligation of contracts.” If they did not guard" ■ ' more dxplichly against'the present state'of things, it was because they, could not have a*micipdled that the few banka then existing were to b well to an extent which would expel to bo great a degreetha gold and ’'silver, for which they had provided; front tho channels of circulation, and fill them with a currency that defeats . the objects they had in view. Tho remedy for ibis must chiefly test with the elates from wltoee. legislation if has sprung. No good that might accrue in a particular case from the exercise of powers, not obviously conferred on the General would authorize its interference. - or justify a cmirse-that might, in tho slightest degree, increase, at the expense of tho States, ■ the power of the federal^autborities—nor dcs I doubt tho States wp* 1 "apply the remedy. Within thejast few years, events have appealed to them toostronly to be disregarded., They have eeen that the ConaLilQiion, though theoretically adhered to, in practice; that while on the statute " books there is uo legal -tender bur gold and silver, no Iaw\impairrng the obligations of contracts, yet, that, in point of fact, the privileges conferred on banking covnorations havo made their notes the currency of the country; that the obligations imposed by these notes are violated upder the impnlEcs of interest or convenience; and that the number and power of tho parsons connected with these corporations, or placed under their influence, give them a fearful weight when their interest is in opposition to the spirit "of the Constitution and laws. .To tho people it is immaterial, whether.these results are produced by open violations of the la.t- . ter, or by the workings of a system of which the result is tho same. An mflexibje execution even of tho existing statutes of most of the States, would.redress many evils now'endured; would effectually show the banks the dangers of mismanagement, .which impunity encourages them to repeat; and would • teach all corporations tho useful lessopo that.they are the,subjects of thflitw, arid. thb ’ servants of tho ■ people.- 1 -' ■Wtit is still wanting to effect these objects must

■ Outlet It be Indelibly engraved on our minds that relief is not to he found in expedients. Indebtedness cannot be lessened by borrowing moro. money, or, by changing the form of the debt, j' The balance of trade ia no: to Uo turned ii\ our favor* by creating new . demands upon us abroad. Our currency cannot be improved by tho creation of new hanks or -more"issues.from those .which now exist. Although these device's sometimes op pep to give temporary relief, they almost invariably aggravate liio evil in the end. It is only hy retrenchment and reform, by curtailing public aild prrvaio .expenditures, hy paying our debts, and-by reforming our hanking system that we arc to expect effectual relief, security fur the future, and an enduring prosperity. Ia~shaping the institutions and pc 1 icy of the General Government so as to promote, as far as U can with its limited powers, these important ends, you may rely on my nloit cordial co-opc-I ration.
