and n;ctfono thousand three hundred '-find ninety dollnrt, which will leave a balance in tho Treasury oa the first of January, lS33,ofrix millions seven hundred and thirty-two dollars. In this balance, however, will bc included about ono million one hundred and fifty thousand dollar of what was heretofore reported by the Department as not effective. Of former appropriations it is estimated that there will remain unexpended ot tho close of tha year, eight millions two thousand nine hundred 'and twenty-five dollar?, and that of this sum there will not be re

quired more than five millions one hun

dred and forty -one thousand nine hundred and tixtv-f'uir dol!ari,to accomplish the objects of all tho current appropriations. Thus it appears that after satisfying all those appropria!ion,and after discharging the last itam of our public debt, which will

bo done on tho first of January next, there

will remain unexpended in the Treasury

an effective balance of about four hundred

and fortv thousand dollars. That such

vhould be the aspect of our finance is

highly flattering to tho industry and en

terprise of our population, and auspicious

of the wealth and prosperity which await

the future cultivation of their growing re sources. It is not deemed prudent, how

ever, to recommend anv change for the

present in four impost rates, the effect of

the gradual reduction now in progress in

many cf them, not being sufiicienllv test

-d, to guide us in determining the precise

amount of revenuo which they will pro

duce.

Free from public debt, at peace with al

tho world, and with no complicated inter nts to consult in our intercourse with fo

reign power?, the present may be hailed

as that epoch in our history the most la Torablc for the settlement of those princi

pies in our domestic policy, which shall be

best calcul ated to give stability to our Republic, and secure tho blessings of freedom to our citizens. Among those principles, from our past experience, it cannot bo doubted, that simplicity in the character of tho Federal Government, and a rigid economy in its administration, should be regarded as fundamental and sacred. All must be sensible that the existence of the public debt, by rendering taxation necessary for its extinguishment, has increased the difficulties which are inseparable from vcry exercise of tho taxing power; and that it was, in this respect, u remote agent in producing those disturbing questions which grew out of tho discussions relating to the tariff. If such has been the tendency of a debt incurred in the acquisition and maintenance of our national rights and liberties, tho obligations of which all portions of the Union cheerfully acknowledged, it must I c obvious, that whatever is calculated to increase the burdens of government without necessity, must bo fatal to all our hopes of preserving its true character. While we are felicitating ourselves, therefore, upon the extinguishment of the national debt, and the prosperous etatc of our finances, let us not be tempted to depart from those sound maxims of public policy, which enjoin a just adaptation of the revenue to the expenditures that arc consistent with a rigid economy, and an ontire abstinence from all topics of legislation that arc not clearly within tho constitutional powers of the government, and suggested by the wants of the country. Properly regarded, under such a policy, every diminution of tho public burdens arising from taxation, gives to individual enterprise increased power, and furnishes to all the members of our happy confederacy, new motives for patriotic affection and support. Hut above all, its most important effect will be found in its influence upon the character of tho government, by confining its action to those objects which will bo sure to secure to it the attachment and support of our fellow "itizens. Circumstances make it mv duty to call

the attention of Congress to the Hank of

tho united States. Created fr the con

venienceof the government, that institu

tion has become the scourge of the Peo

plo. Its interference to postpone the payment cf a portion of tho national debt,

and nd longer able to loan out its surplus

mean. 1 he community had learned to

manage its affairs without its assistance, nnd trade had already found new auxilia

ries; so that on the first of October last, the extraordinary spectacle was present

ed of a National Hank, more than one

alf of whoso capital was either Iving

unproductive in its vaults, or in the hands of foreign bankers.

To tho needless distresses brought on

tho country during the last session of Con

gress, has since been added, the open sei

zure of the dividends on tho public stock,

to the amount of one hundred and seventy thousand and forty-one dollars, under pre tence of paying damages, cost, and inter

est, upon the protested French bill. This sum constituted a portion of tho estimated

revenues for the year 1531, upon which tho appropriations made by Congress were

based. It would as soon have been expected that our collectors would seize on

tho customs, or tho receivers of our land

offices on the moneys arising from the sale

cf public lands, under pretences 01 claims

against the United States, as that the

Bank would have retained the dividends. Indeed, if the principle bo established that any one who chooses to set up a claim against the United States, may, without authority of law, seize on the public property or money wherever ho can find it, to pay the claim, there will remain no assurance that our revenue will reach the treasury, or that it will be applied after the appropriation to the purpose3 designated in the law. Tho paymasters of our army, and the pursers of our navy, may, under

like pretences, apply to their own use mo

section of the charter, be suspended until the Bank pays to the Treasury the divi

dends withheld ; and that all laws connect-

ing the Government or its officers with the

Hank, directly or indirectly, be repealed; and that the institution be left hereafter to its own resources and means. Events have satisfied my mind, and I think the minds of the American People, that the mischief and dangers which How from a National Bank far over balance all its advantages. The bold effort the present Bank has made to control the Government, the distresses it has wantonly produced, the violence of which it has been

the occasion in one of our cities famed for its observance of law and order, are but premonitions of the fate which awaits the

American I'eoplc should thev be deluded

into a perpetuation of this institution, or the establishment of another like it. It is

fervently hoped, that, thus admonished, those who have heretofore favored the establishment of a substitute for the present Hank, will bo induced to abandon it, as it is evidently better to incur any inconvenience that may bo reasonably expected, than to concentrate the whole moneyed power of the Republic in any form whatsoever, or under any restrictions. Happily it is already illustrated that the agency of such an institution is not necessary to the fiscal operations of the Government. The State Hanks aro found fully

adequate to the performance of all services which were required of the Bank of the United States, quite as promptly, and with the same cheapness. They have maintained themselves, and discharged all these

duties, while the Hank of the United States

The attention of Congress is earnestly invited to the regulation of tho deposites in

the State Banks, by law. Although the

power now exercised by the Executive Department in this behalf, is only such as was uniformly exerted through every Administration from the origin of the Government up to the establishment of the present Hank, yet, it is one which is susceptible of regulation by law, and, therefore, ought so to be regulated. The power of Congress to direct in what places the Treasurer shall keep the moneys in the Treasury, and to impose restrictions upon the Executive authority, in relation to their custody and removal, is unlimited, and its exercise will rather be courted than dis

couraged by those public officers and ag

those departments, to pay it away without jents on whom rests the responsibility for

tneir satety. it is desirable that as little power as possible should be left to the President or Secretary of the Treasury

over those institutions which, beinjrthus

freed from Executive influence, and without a common head to direct their opera

tions, would have neither the temptation nor the ability to interfere in the political conflicts of the country. Not deriving their charters from the national authorities, they would never have those inducements to meddle in general elections, which have led the Bank of the United States to agitate and convulso the country for upwards of two years.

gress. iuttnc Lank uas never asked lor an appropriation. It attempts to defeat

Instead of awaiting an appropriation pass

President, it makes an appropriation for

ry to sanction it. I hat the money had not technically been paid into the

as little right to appropriate and expend

the public money without authority of law, before it is placed to the credit of the Treasurer, as to take it from tho treasury. In the annual report cf the Secretary of the treasury, and in his correspondence with the President of the Batik, and the opinions of the Attorney General accompanying it, you will find a further examination of the claims'of the Hank and the course it has pursued. It seems due to thc safety of the public funds remaining in that Hank, and to the honor of the American People, that measures be taken to separate tho government entirely from an institution so mischievous to the public prosperity, and so regardless of 'he constitution and laws. By transferring the public deposites, by appointing other Pension Agents, so far as it had the power, by ordering the discontinuance of the receipt of Hank checks in

payment of the public dues after the first day of January next, the executive has exerted all its lawful authority to sever the connexion between the government aud this faithless corporation. Thc hiirh-handcd career of this institution imposes upon the constitutional functionaries of this Government, duties of the

Those institutions have already shown themselves competent to purchase and furnish domestic exchange for thc conven ienccof trade, at reasonable rates, and not a doubt is entertained that, in a short period, all the wants of the country in bank accommodations and exchange, will be supplied as promptly and cheaply as they have heretofore been by thc Bank of the United States. If the several States shall be induced gradually to reform their banking systems, and prohibit the issue of all small notes, we shall, i-i a few years, have a currency as sound, and as little liable to fluctuations, as any other commercial country.
