III. On a third subject, which has been
considered by many as proper forlet^islu-
live interference, I would just premise—
That the present is a period of difliculty
and ei.ibarrassmenl to almost every citi
zen: perhaps at no time in 20 years, has
there been the same scarcity of circulating
medium, an equal difhculty in procuring'
money, or a prospect of higher sacrifices
of property.
Our Banks cannot loan without first
coliecting their debts, and thus ruining
thousands; rather than do which, to ihtir
credit it ought to be known, that they a: i
MOW paying to the U. States’ Bank, 6 pei-
cent, on a very huge amount due from
them, thus virtually borrowing Irom that
Bunk, to shvc those itidebled to them,
'I'his general piessure and embarrass
ment exist througii every portion of the
civilizcd world ; and its duration must be
"mmensurate with the cause which bus
produced it. England, the great bank
atid commercial empbriutrt of the world,
from which Uvo-thirds of our resources
ai’e deriveil, by extending; unlimited cred
it; pushing her manufacturing and com
mercial tiansactions far beyond the de
mand;—and throwing iiito t irculation an
immense surplus of bills; at once ail’oid
ing facility to every sptcies of specula
tion, while, at the same iiislai»t,her vaults
i.ntl dcpu.'.its of iyym'r wfre draiiii-d by an
almost boundless spec ulation in loans to
other governments, anvi incoi porau-d
companies, \s iiose fuiids v.cro to be ex
pended in olher countries—thus jjlacing
olina bills, and 6 per cent, the legal inter
est on the note, which is 16 per cent,
S200 is loaned, by buying an old
horse or watch, worth g5, at 855; ma
king intt rest, 25 per cent.
S200 is loaned; a bill of sale taken
for a slave, l edeemable by paying 8300—
interest, 50 per cent.
4. 8200 is loaned; a slave sold and de
livered, to work for tlie interest until paid.
5. A ap|)lies to B for a loan of 8500 ;
is informed that he will not loan any mo
ney, but would give that sum for a good
note of S700:—he is asked if D, as secu
rity, would be good; and replies bi- would,
A then gives his note to D, and D a;;-
signs the note to B, and receives the
8500 for A. This is becoming quite
common, kc. £cc. See.
Our collecting oflkers also drive a hand
some speculution in per cents. They
work it iVom debtor to creditor, and from
reditor to debtor, like a juggler’s rib
bon, to any desirable interes'..
But you ask, suppose the legislature

ever; man shall pay his coiitract, tiot cx-
recding 12 r per cent, per annum until

note; how will this increase our circula

tack of those now laborin ' under such
heavy pressure.^—1 answer—by bringing
into active circulation those public and

least so far as to ansiver all our put puses,
in the common transai tu>ns of life—me
rely doing atva;/ the statute of usury, as
respects money actually loaned; and de
claring tiiat every man, in that case, shall
be bou?id to comply Vith his contract, as
exhibited on the face of his hote, provid
ed it does not exceed 12i per cent, per
aiii.um, until paid; at the same time re
striding our hanks, and olher contracts
to our present interest.
Ill justice and fairness of dealing,
maK has as good a rij^nt to a profit on his
money, as on any one article of pioperty
and a f,.r better moral right, than an e\
travagani profit on the real necessaries
of life^ A conirarv position is inconsis
tent with personal f.'tedom and republi
can government; is a relic of feudal
aristocracy and contracted policy, even-
b.ating in legislative iuterlerence, to do
a«a\ the sanctity and obligation of fair,
voluniary contracts.
But dismissing tiie subject as a con-
\ested object of jurisprudence, let ns turn
to its piespnl operation on the citizens,
and jtidgc it by'its fruits; and we will
find t^his sta'.ute, as now evaded, is com
pletely nugatory as to its intention, and
operative only oti t!ic nnfortiinale or in-
dig«m. to the benefit of the unfeeling and
avai irious. It is wellknovvii, that a great

dices, piditical honesty flourishes aione in our
soil. When Mr. Jetlerson recommended a na*
tional road, it was expedient and constitutional
—Dut when recommended by Mr. Adams, it
is encroachment, usurjjation and corruption.
There were several things in ,Mr. Adams’ mcs*
sage, tliat we disapproved on principle—though
they had been recommended bv all his prede-
I ceshors. Among these was the jjroject of a na

probably would, in one year, pay a mil

dd that nuich oijeralivc wealth to the
st ite, arid picveiit an incalculable sacri
fice of property.
The faci is, men in e^sy circumstances
will not loan at G per cen . and probably

collect it by law:—they prefer hoarding

V. Tor some time a respectable num
ber of citizens have been solicitous, that
the Legislature would make some regu
lation 10 prevent those vast collections of
slaves at our general reviews and celebra
tions. This, one day, ;>nd that not very
distant, will be absolutely necessary.
Dissati‘ fiction and a disposition to in
subordination, are every year more evi
dent. Those not permitted to attend,
imbibe feelings of resentment and malice
towards their masters; those who do at
tend, from viewing their numb>:rs, recog
nise their own strength: in fact, these col
lections aftbrd to them every desirable fa-
cilitv to commence, organi/e and mature
any scheme of revolt It has been suggest

business of th*; ollicer of the day at re
views, to detail a guard of one or two
