If oil the 90th of September last, instead of the manifesto of the President against the Bank, he had officially announced that he did not 'mean to make war upon the Bank, and intended to allow the public deposits to remain until the pleasure of Congress was expressed, public confidence would have been assured and tin•haken, the business of the country continued

and prosperity, averted ruptcies in ourknown The wisdom of human acUorrf is better known in their results than in their inception. That of the Bank is manifest from all that has hap°en«l, and especially front it. actual cond^on of nerfrct sccunty* 7. The Secretary complains of misconduct of the Bank in delegating to the committee of Exchange the transaction of important business, and in thnt committee being appointed by the

President, and not the Boatd, by which the ilof rnment Directors have been excluded. The directors who compose the Board meet onlv periodically. Deriving no *oropcnsation from their plaats, which the charter indee urohibil* them from leceiring, it cannot be expected that they should be constantly in ses .. Tliev must necessarily, therefore, devohe a great part of the business of the Bank, in ti det«iU uDon the officers and servants of the yrportion! It is sufficient, if the Board controb Lverns and directs the whole machtne. T1be llnost important operation of a Bank is that 4^ing oPut Us cash, and that the ishier or TelA an no he a or A :in ees of Exchange, the Board not being airways in session, it is evident that ihe conven**ience of the public requires

Directors stand upon Ihe same eq"a' footing with those appointed by the Stockholders.—

When appointed, they are thrown inlo the *.i- mass, and must take their fair chance with their colleagues. If the President of the United

Stales will nominate men of high character and credit, of known experience and knowledge in business, they will no doubt be placed in corresponding stations. If he appoints different men, he cannot expect it. Banks are exactly the placcs where currency and value are well tiderslood and duly estimated. A prince on n, having even the stamp of the Governit, will not pass unless the metal is pure.|_

The French Bill forms another topic of with the Secretary The state of the case is that the Government soldito.the Bank a bill on that of France, for $900,000, #hith the Bank sold in London, whence it was sent by the purchaser to Paris to receive the amount. When the Bank purchased the bill it paid theamount to the Government, or, which is the same thing, passed it t^the credit of the Treasury, to be used on demand. Ihe bin was protested in Paris, and the agents of the Bank, to avoid its being liable to damages, (o*k -v up the bill on account of the Bank. The bil peing thus dishonored, the Bank comes ac on the drawer, and demands the

damages due, according to the course of all sue transactions. The complaint of the Secretary is, that the Bank took up the bill to save its 'a own credit, and lhat it did not do 11 on »"°unt of the Governmentj in other ^rd^ that he

Their suspicions are always active and on the alert. In every form they behold a rival, and every breeze comes cha.ged w.th alarm and dread.

pThe Bank has been tW cowtanfbbj^ct for years of vituperation and calumny- It has been assailed in every form oi bitterness and malignity. Its operations have been misrepresented it* credit and the public confidence in its integrity and^bolidity attempted to bedeitroyed and the character of its officers assailed. Under these circumstances, it has dared to defend itself. It has circulated public documents, speeches of Members of Congress, reports made by Chairmen of Committees, friends of the administration, and others papers. And, as it was necessary to make the defence commensurate with the duration and the extensive theatre of the attack, it has been compelled to incure a heavy expend to save itself from threatened destruction. It has openly avowed, and yet avows its right and purpose to defend itseli.

All this was known to the last Congress. Not a solitary material fact has been since disclosed. And when before, in a country where the press is free, was it deemed criminal for an) body to defend itself?— Who invested the Secretai? of the Treasury with power to interpose himself between the people and light and intelligence? Who gave him the right to dictate what information shall be communicated to the people,and by whom? Whence does he derive hisjnrisdictron? Who made him Censor of the public press? From what new Sedition law does he deduce his authority? Is the superintendence of the American press a part of the financial duty of a Secretary of the Treasury? Why did le not lay the whole case before Congress, and invite their revival of the old Sedition law? Why anticipate the arrival of their session? Why usurp the authority of the ODly department of the Government competent to apply a remedy, if there be any sower to abridge the freedom of the prtss? [fthe Secretary wishes to purify the press, he has a most Herculean duty before him.

And when he sallies out on his Quixotic expedition,he had better begin with the Augean stable, the Press nearest to him his organ, as most needing purification.

US,

I have done with the Secretary's reasons. They have been weighed and founc wanting. There was not only no financial motive for his acting—the sole motive which he could officially entertain—but every financial consideration forbids him to act. I proceed now, in the third and aat place,to ex imine the manner in which le has exercised his power over the deposits.

Three months have elapsed, and the Secretary has not yet found places of deposite for the public moneys,as substitutes for the 13ank of the United States. He tells in his report of yesterday, that the

Bank at Charleston, to which lie applied to receive them, declined the custody, anc that he has yet found no other Bank willing to assume it. But he slates that the public interest does not in consequence suffer. No! W'hatis done with the public moneys constantly receiving in the import ant port of Charleston, the largest port (New Orleans excepted,) from the Polo mac to theOulf of Mexico? Whnt with the revenue bonds? It appears that he has not yet received the charters from all the

Banks

selected as places of deposit. Can any thing be more improvident than that the Secretary should undertake to contract with banks, without knowing their power and capacity to contract by their charters. That he should venture to deposit the people's money in Banks, without a full knowledge of every thing respecting their actual condition? But he has found some banks willing to receive the public deposits, and he has entered into contracts with them. And the very first step he has taken has been in direct violation of an express and positive statute of the United States. By the act of the 1st of May,1820, sixth section, it is enacted, "that no contract shall be hereafter made by the Secretary of State or of the Treasury, or of the Bepartment of War, or of the Navy, except under a law authorizing the same, or under an appropriation adequate to its fulfilment, and excepting, also, contracts for the subsistence and clothing of the army or navy, and contracts by the Quarter master's department, which ma) be made by the Secretaries of those departments." Now, sir, what law authorized these contracts with the locnl Banks, made by the Secretary of the Treasury? The argument, if I understand the argument intended to be employed on the other side, is this that by the Bank charter, the Secretary is authorized to remove the public deposits, and that includes the power in question. But the act establishing the Treasury Department,confides, expressly,the safe keeping of the public moneys of the United States to the Treasurer of the U. States and not to the Secretary, and the Treasurer, not the Secretary, gives a bond for the fidelity with which he shall keep them.— The moment, therefore,that they are withdrawn from the Bank of the United States, they are placed by law, under the charge and responsibility of the Treasurer and his bona, and not of the Secretary who has given no bond. But let us trace this argument Utile further. These contracts, therefore, between the Secretary of the Treasury and the local banks are mere nullities, and absolutely void, enforceable^ no court of justice whatever, for two causes—1st. Because they are made in violation of tbeact of 1st March, 1820- at.d 'idly, because the Treasurer, and not the Secretary of the Treasury, alonc had,if any federal officer possessed, the power to contract with the local banks.

But let us now inquire whether the St cretary of the Treasury has exercised his usurped authority, in the formation of these contracts, with prudence and discretion. Having substituted himself to Congress and to the Treasurer of the United States, he ought at toast to shew that in the stipulations of the contracts themselves, be tnu^§nard«d the public moneys and provided for the public interest?. 1 will ex

tic Bank* The firtt stipulation limitt the duty of the local bank to receive in deposite, on account of the Unitad^Stotei, only the notes of bank* convertible into com, *in its immediate vicinity,' or which it is, 'for the time being, in the habit of receiving.' Under this stipulation, the Girard

Bank, for example, will not be bound to receive Doles of the Lottisvillc though that also be one of the deposite banks, nor the

notes

of any other bank not

in its immediate vicinity, even if it be a deposit bank. 5 As to the provision that it will receive the notes of blinks which, for the time being, it is in the habit of receiving, it is absurd to put such a stipulation in a contract, because by the power retained to change the habit, for the time being, it is an absolute nullity. Now, sir, how does this contract compare with the charter and practice of the Bank of the United Slates. That Bank receives eve-

ry where, and credits the government with the notes, whether issued by the Branches or the principal Bank. The amount of all these notes is every where available to the Government. But the Government may be overflowing in distant bank notes when they are not wanted, and a bankrupt, at the places of great expenditure, under this singular arrangement.

But the most improvident, unprecedented, and extraordinary provision in the contract is that which relates to the security. When, and not until, the deposits in the local bank shall exceed one half the capital stock actually paid in, collateral security, satisfactory to the Secretary of the Treasury, is to be given for the safely of the deposits. Why, sir, a freshman, a school boy would not have thus dealt with his father's or guardian's money. Instead of the security preceding, it is tofolloWfthe deposit of the people's money! That is, the local bank gets an amount of their monej, equal to one half of its capital, and then it condescends to give security 1 Doas not the Secretary know, that, when he goes for the security, the money may be gone, and lhat he may be entirely unable to get the one or the other? We have a law, if I mistake not, which forbids the advance of any public money, even to a disbursing agent of the Government, wilh-^ out previous security. Yet in violation of the spirit of lhat law, or, at least, of all common sense and common prudence, the

Secretary disperses upwards of twentyfive millions of public revenue among a countless number of unknown banks, and stipulates lhat, when the amount of the deposits exceeds one half of their respective capitals, security is to be given!

Let us look inlo the condition of one of these locsl banks, the nearest to us, and
