Banks, X National Currency. Report of the secretary cf the treasury continued from car last. Notwithstanding the drains for this commerce, during the c veais, was unusually large, every other circumstance was favorable to the tcstoiation of the cuner.cv to a sound state, with the least possible: disti ess to the community. The capacity of the country to discharge a laige portion of the debts contrarted with banks, and which had occasioned their excessive issues, was greater than at any former period, ano than it probably will be again lor a lapse of succes sive years. The effort to reduce tho amount of currency during those years, though successiui to a vety considerable degree, wa? not pursued with sufficient earnestness. In the latter part of 1818, when the pi ice oi the principal articles of Ameiican production had fallen nearly fity per cent, in foreign markets ; when the merchant needed the aid of additional loans to sustain him against the losses which he had inclined by the sudcien reduction in the price of the commodities he had exported ; he was called upon to discharge loans previously contracted. The agriculturist, who saw his income reduced bc;ow his indispensable necessities ; the manufacturer who was not only sti uergiing against'foreign competition, but who sav the sale of his manufactures reduced by the incapacity ot his customers to buy ; in Let, all classes of the community, under circumstances so adverse to the command of hinds, were subjected to curtailments wherever they had obtained discounts. All intelligent wiitera upon cur rency agree tnat where it is decreasing in amount poverty 8c misery must pievail. The corieciness of the opinion is too manifest to require pi oof. I he united voice of the nation attests its accuracy. As theie is no recorded example in the histoiy oi nations of a reduction of the cunency, so rapid and so extensive, so but few exzmples have occurred, of distrc-. so general and so severe, as that which has been exhibited in the United Sutes. To the evils of a decreasinp currency are superaedtd those ufa deficient currency, ikrt, notwithstanding it is deficient, still depreciated. In several of the state the great mass of the circulation is not even ostensibly convertible into specie at the will of the hoider. 1'urir: the greater part of the time that has ei.ipscd since the resumption of specie payments, the com eitibiiitv of bank notes into specie has been rather nominal than real in the largest portion of the union. On the part of the banks, mutua weakness had proem ed mutual forbeai ance. The exen ie diffusion of bank stock amongthe great body of the citizens, in must of the s ates, had produced tho s.tu e forbearance among individual?. To demand specie of the banks, when it was known that they were unable to pay, was to destroy their own interests, by destroj ing the credit of the bunks in which the productive portion of their piopirtv was invested In
