Here, sir, I might resume my seat, and I should do so with pleasure, were it not Chat a part of what I have felt to beau imperative, duly upon this occasion, remains to be performed.

In presenting the proc^edinffofai meeting of a portion of the town of Boston, the honorable Senator from oYlfassachusetfs availed himself, of the occasion to express his own views as to tHo existence of a public pressure, of its cause, and of the appiopHate mode of relief, lie went further, sir, nod called upon all, and especially those who sustain the administration upon this floor in relation to the change of the deposites, to give their views as to the future as \yelj as the present posture of the pecuniary affairs of the country. As i\n individual, and as one considering it one of

highest dulies to sustain-the administration in this measure, I am ready to respond to the Senator with entire frankness but in thus accepting his call I must not be understood for out moment, entertaining the vain impression that opinions and views pronounced by me here, or elsewhere, will acquire any importance because they are my opinions and my views. 1 khow well, sir, that my name carries not w4th4l%wrthorit^ any where, buf I also know that as far as I ,mav entertain and tmireicpregs optffloirh^ shall be fouud in accordance with the enlightened public opinion of this country, so far they will be sustained and no farther. •Following then, Mr. President, the example whiqh has,been set before me,I shall abstain from a discussioe of controvcVtcd

It neither shown ncr pretended (hat the oilier State Banks have ciirtaited their Joans in-eonsequenee of the depoliles, except when the curtailments by the Bank of the United States and its branches have compelled them to do so. We have, however, record evidence from itself that the Bunk of the Ignited States has curtailed its lo$ns, since the first day of August last, and up to the first cfay of Decembei last, to the enor moos amount of §9,G9?,0G0 and all this curtailment has taken place in the entire absence of any revulsion in trade, of any scarcity in the country, or any other peculiar cause of embarassment existing, or anticipated. We need not then grope in the field of speculation for the cause ofthe present pressure. It stands before us recorded in letters and figures which cannot lie, and which leave us without excuse for misunderstanding, or for affectjpg to misunderstand it,

promising, to be sure, but constitutional opposition to the renewal of the charier of the Bank. That for these constitutional and legal acts, it has pleased the Bank to wreak its vengeance upon the community, I neither allege nor believe: That tht Sta(e Banks have made the slightest hps7 tile movement against it, neither is nor can be pretended, What (hen is the motive for thi.n rapid curtailment? I have not the slightest doubt, Mr. President, that in the language of the resolutions I hold in mj hand, it is to be found, and found only, in an attempt of (he Bank

as totho motives for this con

duct on the part.of the Batik, I have already said,l deny (hat a justifiable one is to be found cither in the conduct of the Government, of of the State flanks towards it and I repeat the assertion. Whether or not this curtailment of its business has been rendered necessary on the part of the Bank in consequence of former mismanagement, I need not inquire, inasmuch as the Bank itself, »nd all its friends and supporters, here and elsewhere, most strenuously deny that Its present condition furnishes any necessity for increased means. I have looked carefully into the instructions originally given by the Secretary of the Treasury to the State Bank?, in relation to the course to be pursued by them towards the Bank of the United States audi find there nothing to warrant an apprehension that any disposition existed on the part of the Government to injure the Bank, or to embarrass it in the prosecution of its lawful business. 1 have examined, with equal care, Ihe instructions given in regard to the transfer drafts, and the circumstances under which they were to be, and were in fact used. And these acts ofthe Government taken in connection, with the large amount of money still left in the Bank, and which upon a different supposition, would assuredly have been also wi^. drawn,I hold to furnish undeniable evidence that no disposition was entertained or manifested on the part of the Government to wrong this institution. The only design evinced was to ex^cteo a, legal, right, reserved by the "Charter, to changelj^k^^^^ ot it* ttfc (1 t'pO^TTT^ nnu nrxrrntmTnr^mr unCOm- public men, will justify me III the confident c?

Pr«mrc«nd,

causes of it. w.,"•». in** I will now consider the remedy for the evil which the Senator proposes. Leaving the discussion of every (hing Constitutional, political, and expedient, the Senator, with jiis usual tact, goes directly to the matter in hand and with the utmost confidence he tells us (hat the remedy is not to be found in the restoration of the deposites, but in the re-charter of the piesent bank. Whatever else may he said of this avowal, it must,at least, be admitted, that it

the

controversy that the veil with

which it has hitherto been attempted to disguise the subject, should be torn off, and thai the people should know what is the question which is, in fact, occupying the attention of Congress. This being done by the declaration of fhe Senator, there is reason to hope that we may hereafter Be, we have not heretofore been, aided by contributions of public sentiment, so far as the-Senate may think proper to allow inftncnct's of that sort to enter into its delihesations. And, sir, I venture the prediction that if the expreisioas now upon our tiles, or those which shall hereafter be placed there, as evidences of public sentiment, shall be efamined, it frill appear that the good sen§c and ingenuity of the Senator in devisillg this remedy, har only placed him upon a fete! with the common opinion of the whole community, as to the real fSestioQ in dispute: that eFery paper favoring the views of the opponents of the «dministration, has and will, expressly or imph edly, recognise the fact that the qoes*^n before the public "Bank, or no ^nk.^and thatthe jreal issue has that directioo, not the disposition of the gover% ment depusites. A petition for ie-Charter In a mere matter of form which can at any umefee brought forwards A few d*y«, o»fc even aiew hours are sufficient for that object, and we ought not to permit ourselves

4nade to assutne the pUce and importance of the real issue. Bat, Mr. President, while highly approve of the open and m&nly ground taken by the Senator from Massachusetts, I differ fr#m him

ioto

cre/o, as to the remedy he

proposes. There is no inducements which can prevail upon roe to vote for the. rech&rier of the bank of the U.„ States. I would oppciig this bank upon the ground of its flagrant violations of the high trosts confided to it but piy objections are of a deeper ahd graver character. I go against this bank, and against any and every bank to be incorporated by Congress, whether to be located at Philadelphia or N. liork, or any whereel&e within the t*v4nty-fc»ur independent States which compose this confederacy,upon the broad ground which admits not of compromise, that Congress has not the power, by the Constitution, to incorporate such a bank.

I may be oYcr-snngnine, Mr. President, but I do most firmlyJjelieve that, in addition to tho invaluable services already rendered to his country by the Prerident of Ihe Ur S., he is, under Providence, destined still to render hfcr a greater tban all, by b^«g mainly instrumental in restoring, the Constitution* of tho country to what it was intended be by those who fqrraed it, and to what it wao understood to be by the people who adopted it. In relieving that #acred instrument from th^so constructive and implied additions under wiich Congress has claimed the right to place beywnd the reach of the people, and without responsibility, a moneyed power, not mt-rely dang#ous to public libertj*. but of a character so f^roridable as to set itself in open array against, and to attempt to over-rule, the government of the country. I believe the high destiny is yet in store for thnt venerable ronn, of disproving tje exalted cojnpliment long since paid him by the great Apostle of Republicanism, "that he had already filled the measure of bis country's glory," and that he is yet to accomplish, what neither Thomas Jefferson and his illustrious successor could accomplish, by adding to the proof which he has so largely contributed to afford, that his country is invincible in arms, the consolatory fact that there is, at least, one spot upon earth where written Constitutions are rigidly I lenow, sir, that this work which the President has undertaken, and upon the success which lie has, with his usual moral courage, -slaked the hard earned fruits of a glorious life, js full of difficulty. I know well that it will put the fortitude and patriotism of his countrymen to the severest test but I am happy «ko tq know that he has, in this instance, as heretofore, put hirfuelf upon the fortitude and patriotism of a people who have nfcver yet fhiled him, or any man who was himself faithful to his country in the hour of peril.

Of the course which the State which I have the honor in part to represent here, will take in this great contest, it become*me,forming so humble a part of its voice in the councils of the nation, and known^mly by the favors 1 have received at its hams, to speak with grent diffidence. In the resolutions I now lay before the Spnate, it hanspoken for itself upon most of the points involved. 'As to -the others, feel that toy ltaowle8PiW%«n^r«ol«rof its people, and

pressjon of t?n opinion that the State will sustain the Executive to the utmost in this contror versy and that I may sny to those who are, and Jong have been, desirous to restore the Constitution, in this regard, to its true reading, "now's the day and now's the hour" for its accomplishment. At all events, I have the right to say, that I will place myself by the side of tho President, to the full extent of the views I have given, and that I desire to stand or fall with qiy constituents, as they shall determine the result.

I have thus responded, and I hope the Senator from Massachusetts will allow fully, to so much of his appeal. I will goon sir, and cover the whole ground. Helms asked, if you will neither re-charter Ihe present bank nor establish new one, what will yon do? To an individual, sir, and speaking for myself only, I »ny I will sustain the Executive branch of tho government, by all the legal means in my power, in the effort now mnking to substitute the slate banks instead of tho bank of the U. States, as the fiscal agent of the government. I believe they are fully competent to the object. I am wholly unmoved by the alarms which have been sounded, either, as to their insecurity, or influence, or any other danger to |MJ apprehended from their employment. I hold the steps so far taken in furtherance of this object, well warranted by the Constitution and laws of the land, and 1 believe that the honor and best interests of the conn try imperiously require thaj they should he fully sustained by tbe people^ nnj! by their representaiv he re

That (hese riew* are coircct, it is not of course ray intention, at this time, to show. In some stage of the debate upon this great subject, hope to be able, without trespassing upon tha superior claims of others, to have thnt opportu^ tiity.

We Jjave been told, ami told emphatically, that things cannot remain as the are} that the powers now Vetted in and exercwed by the Secretary of the Treasury, ere tod broad, and that legislative aid it required. If I have not nisanderstood the import of remark*, it also been told to' u& that such aid will be wuLheid. To this, I for tho present only answer, that things are now, in this respeit, precisely as'they werw before the iti rporation of the refent bank: that the same owprs which tbe-v

Still we are told by the Senator from Massachusetts, that tbinge

cannot

remain as tliey ait

that unless something, which according to his vietts of tba suftjecf, would afford relief,te donev the pressure,

the

distre?s, and the agitation, will

continue. I have already stated, the source" .from which, a ml from which alSnr, in my judg ment tbe present pressure proceeds. I have stat od, also, without reserve, the object whichf is", in* my opinion, intended to, be accomplished by it. Of the correctness of my conclusions, the Senate and tho country must judge. If they a?e, a#5 I believe them to be, well founded, it is undoubtedly in the power of the bank to continue (hepressure, and consequently the agitation of the pnblic mind, to some extent, so iong as it fhal) think it to be for its interest, and not incompatible with its safety to do so. It is not for me

speak as with a knowledge of its intentions in this respect, and the Senator from Massachusetts disclaims all information upon the point. »1 can, therefore, only state my opinion and it i?,thKt (ho bank

has

ing accomplished, but upon the most stern ucce,jp sity. VefJ Mr. President, I trust in God that that necessity will soon,

ment

and

very soon, be made manifest,

by the attitude which the nation will assume towards this daring and dangerous institution.—Tho glorious American Revolution was bat resistance to moneyed power, without thoeonscnt, and beyond the reach, of the people of this country. To this OUT fathers opposed a -stern AND uncompromising resistance. Appeals were made to their fears. Distress in •heir pecupiary affnin, were pictured to them iu colors to have deterred' any but the pure spirit of patriotism and love of liberty which led them forward. Then the pictures were not imaginary but renl, the distresses were not fancy but fuct. Tho country was not then strong and rich, and prosperous but weak, and poor, and disheartened and still their march was onward. They armed themselves upon the side of their country,

and stood by their govern

when their hard and perilous services

were paid in paper, worth a fortieth or sixtieth part of its nominal value, tho representative of the dollar was the dollar to them, for it gave liberty to tbe people, and freed thorn from the rule of avarice. And have we, their immediate descendants, so soon lost their noble spirit! Are we to. fold our arms and obey the dictate* of a moneyed power, not removed from our soil, and wielded by stronger hands, but taking root among us a power spoken into existence by our breath, find dependent upon that breath -for life and being? Are our fears, our nvnrice, our selfish and base passions to be appeulcd to, and to compel us to re-create this power, when we are told that the circulation of tho country is in it* hands? That the institutions established by all the independent states of tive confederacy are subject to its control, and exjstyuly by its clci«e4tsy

Gentlemen talk of revolutions in progress When this actlon'shall take place in the Amen can Congress, then indeed will a revolution have been accomplished then will your Constitution have been yielded up ro fear and favor, and your legislation be the tic nolo, iricjubio, of a bank.—But, Mr. President, I do not distress myself with any such forebodings, I know the crisis wilji W# trying, and I know too, that the spirit and patriotism of tbe people will be equal to l&e trial. As I read tho indications of public? opinion, I scecjearly that the true question is understood^ by the country and- that it is assuming an Attitude towards the bank which the opcasioa Palis' for. Be assured, sir, whatever nice distinctions aisijr be drawn hero as to the influence, whjch ex* pressions of the popular .will upon each a' sub-, ject are entitled to from us, it is possible for that will to assume a constitutional shape which tho Senate cannot misunderstand, and understanding, wilt not unwisely resist. The country, Mr. President, bat approved of the coupe of tho Executive, in his attempts to relieve ns from the corrupt and corrupting power and iufiuenoe of a National bank, and it will sustain him in the experiment now making po substitute the state Institutions for sach a fiscal agent. I hajre the ful* lest confidence in the ultimate and complete aoecos* of the trial, iut should it not prove satis* factory to tbe country, it will then be time enoti, to resort to the conceded powersofCongress,
