It will also be observed that so farjfrom the bank having unnecessarily curtailed, the curtailments are nearly thiee millions less thai) th amount of reduction of deposites. it will also be seen that so far from pressing the State banks, lhce banks have been permuted to be in debt to the Bank of the UStates the averted, .-um of -3-1,000,000, How then are we to account for the continued clamors atinst the bank, for its un necessary and rapid cui taihnenl ?

The committee on the offices deem the i lose i f the t-'i -t quarter 'f tbe tear, a proper occasion to present a review of the measures adopted by them in conformity to the iustruc lions f the Hoard, on the 20lh September, aiu! 21 st J ll.ilary last. Ouiii.i tlie summer 1333, it became maifr.vt that the Executive of the United State?, meditated some signal act of hostility to the b.iiik ; and, accordingly, the Board took ear ly measure to provide against it. For lhi purpo-e, tlicy beau by preventing the in i reae of the business of the bank by diiuiuijiiinjj the time of the loan.-, so as to make liie funds tf the b.ii.!: more available, and Jir.aliy, in prtcciiiij; the western ollices a gainst a r; jclition of the elFort mule during lUr I i?t year to caue a run upon them. Accordingly on l!e 13th of August, 1433, ths Bind adapted the following resolutions: 1- .VsjscA That fur the present and until the fui ther order of the Board, the amount of tiiiis discounted,' shall not be increased at the !a;.k and the several ollices. 2. Res.ihtd, That the Bills of Exchange, purchased at the bank, and all the ollices, ex cept the live western others, shall not have moie than ninety dajs to run. 3. Resolved, That the tire vre?frrn offices be instructed to purchase i o Bills of Exchap, except those payable in Atlantic cit ies, not having more than ninety days to run or those which they received in payment of existing debts to the bank and the offices. and then act haying mora than fair months to run. This was the only measure then deemed neceary, the Board being anxious to make the bank safe, without incommoding the country. S strong was this conviction, and so reluctant was the Board, to diminish its business until it became necessary, that when, on the IGth of August, the Government Di rectors otfered a resolution "for the gradual reduction of the business of the institution throiiihout all sections of the country," the Board declined even the consideration of it. It was not until the 24th of September, that as the indications of an approaching act of aggresiou weie multiplied, the Board ap pointed a com nittee f seven members "to take into consideration what measures it is necessary and proper should be adopted on the part of the bank in consequence of the recent intimations that the deposites of the vj -vernmeni are 10 oe moveu. The committee, still unwilling to dimiui-1 its accommodation to the community, did not advise any curtailment of the loans, but mere ly followed out the plan adopted on the 1 3lt of August, of keeping the funds of the bank in a slate of activity, and moving them for ward gradually to the Atlantic cities, where the bank was most vulnerable to the Treasu ry- They therefore, on the 1st of Oclobe prep ti ed resolutions, which were adopted to the loll iwmg eltec' 1st.

He ought further to have known that this "oppressive system" consist ed of a voluntary tedncticn by the maturity of bills of exchange diawn at New Oilcan? to (he amount "of $2,037,093 59 Of bills Jr uvu at other place?, 1 013,215 90 Miking 3,055,315 49 And of a voluntary diminution oflucai loans of 1,010,330 72 4,066,146 21 This very reduction in the local loans moreover consisted merely of a voluntary payment by a mercantile house, under an arrangement for paying the 3 per cents, in Europe, by which, bills on London were substituted for the sum of $1,046,678 60 advanced to them; so that there was not one dollar ot involuntary reduction of the loans at the very moment when the Secretary gave as a reason for removing the deposites, the oppressive curtailments of the bank. About the 1st of October the removal of the deposites took place. Without a momenta previous notice, the bonds actually in the bank were withdrawn from it and it has tince appeared that while the Treasury was sending daily and weekly lists, professing to contain all the orders on the bank; secret drafts suppressed from the list, to the amount of .? 2. 300.000 were distributed for the purdoss of being suddenly used, while the bank was ignorant of their existence. It'vas then for the first lime that the bank yielded to the of diminishing its accommodations to the community. I On the Oth of October, the committee appointed on the 24th of September, reported ie following resolution, which was adopted, - That the committee on the offices be auIhorized to direct such a gradual reductiou in the amountand the time of the loans at the lespeclive omces, as may in tuetr juamem oe made without inconvenience to the customers of the bank or the community," Ihe committee endeavored to execute this authority in such a manner as would accompiisn me onjec 01 securing me uanu wmioui injuring the community, and they according. iy aireciea a reaucuon 01 me loans in coniormity lo the situation of each office, while at ine same ume me purcnase 01 aomesuc duis was left as unrestricted as the state of the bank permitted, in order to facilitate the re uuctionoi ine local loans, ana aiso provide the means of transmitting the proceeds of inese reaucuons 10 me exposea pans 01 me establishments The progress of these reductions will be ecu io the annexed comparative statement, marked A, of the condition of the Bank on ihe first ol October and the first ofApnlrespectiveiy. t- rom this table 11 appears mat me toiai amount of deduction was $5,237,3l 3 But from this should be deduc ted the operations in the old suspended debt at the agencies at Cincinnati and Chilicothe, which being settlements in, or for, real estate, are not connected with this movement they amount to 229,853 So that the actual reduction of Ki.un from the 11 of Oct. to 1st of April, has been only $0,057,527 ....

S jch is the history and the present stale of tbe reduction directed by the committer. The examination of it will present the following result. 1st. That the hank never directed any curtailment of its loins until the actual re mo val of the deposites. 2d. That the only actual reduction of loans took place from the lt of Oct. to the 1st of D.cember, when the loans weie dimiti ished .55,611,093 26 While at the same time the public and private deposites were reduced 3J.

J hat the State banks were permitted to be indebtto We DaMC an average amount 3,461,956 00 1 nese statements may be not inappropri ately closed, by a few remarks. Up to the 1st of October. 1833. the Bank Lf the United States was resnonsihle for the general condition of the currency of the country. Alter years ol ellort and sacrifice, it had brought the currency and exchanges of tbe Union into a condition probably better, in many respects, than existed elsewhere. With this responsibility was mingled the duty ol averting every calamity , and mitigating every shock that might, by deranging the currency, injure the community. It was for this purpose that the bank interposed in the disastrous crisis of 1825 for this that it extended its loans in 1831 until the country could recover from its excessive importations for this that it defrayed, out of its own funds the cost of DostDonin? the navment 0r lne tnree Der ceilts m 1322. and also I the same tear, assumed thi navment of the jJebt to foreigners, lest their demands might add to me troubles ofa nestilence which was disordcrintr the commerce of the countrvit Was for this, in short, that, at all times, and under all circumstances the currency and the exchanges were objects ol its constant so 1 1 solicitude. On the 1st of October 1833, the violation of the charter cf the bank put an end to a) that responsibility. On that day, the Bank of the United Stales, as a component part ol the financial system established by congress in which tbe public revenue was to sustain lne public cunency ceased to exist. It be 19 came properly of its stockholder; and wheth er that property should confine to be lent, or should be recalled from the borrowers in ereatcr or less nronoi tions, was a matter for 1 12 ihem, and lor them alone, to decide 1 ' thercfoie, in the clfort (o sustain its credit, the directeis of the Bank had reduced is loans more rapidly than consisted with pub lic convenienee, the reproach should be on the aggressors who had made this act of self defence necessary. It has indeed bet n assertet', that the bank has made oppressive curtailments, and tbe motives ascribed as for them are unkindness lhe Ksccutive, aod a desire to extort from jpublic sufFcring a continuance of its chatter. ui; Nothing can lie more groundless than the al5V leg.tiiun, except thu causes assigned for it. So far from making an unnecessary curtail i. 11 meuts, it has been seen that the bank ha

12,691, 130own interests than to those of the country.

r or that extreme forbearance, however, it iiuds an adequate justification in the exlraordinaiy position ia which the cutmliy is now pi iced. The violation of the laws committed by (he Executive, is of itself calculated, by destroy ing confidence, und breaking down the established currency to afilict and convulse the country.
