C.) Saturday, April FAREWELL ADDRESS Of Andrew Jackson to the People of the United States, (continued.) We are not left lo conjecture how the moneyed power, thus or ganized, and with such a weapon in its hands, would be likely to use it. The distress and alarm which pervaded and agitated the whole country, when the Bank of the United States waged war up on the people, in order to compel them to submit to its demands, cannot et be forgotten. The ruthless and unsparing temper with which whole cities and com munities were oppressed, individ uals impoverished and ruined, and a scene of cheerful prosperity suddenly changed into one of gloom and despondency, ought to be indelibly impressed on the me mory of the people of the United States. If such was its power in time of peace, what would it not have been in a season of war, with an enemy at your doors? No na tion but the freemen of the United States could have come out victo rious from such a contest; yet, if you had not conquered, the Gov ernment would have passed from the hands of the many to the hands of the few; and this organized ' o money power, from its secret con clave, would have dictated the choice of your highest officers, and compelled you to make peace or war, as best suited their own wishes. The forms of ywur Gov ernment might, for a time, have remained; but its living spirit would have departed from ii. The distress and sufferings in flicted on the people bv the bank. are some of the fruits of that sys tem of policy which is continually striving to enlarge the authority of the Federal Government hp. yond the limits fisd by the Con stitution. The powers enumera ted in that instrument do not con fer on Congress the right to esta blij.h such a enrnoration ns thi Bank of the United States; and the evil consequences which fol lowed mav warn us of the dancer of departing from the true rule of construction, and of permitting temporary circumstances, or the hope of better promoting the pub lic welfare, to influence, in any degree, our decisions upon the extent of the authority of the Ge neral Government. Let us abide by the Constitution as it is written. or amend it, in the constitutional j mode, if it is found to be defec tive The severe lessons of experi ence will, 1 doubt not, be sufficient to prevent Congress from again chartering such a monopoly, even if the Constitution did not present an insuperable objection to it. But you must remember, my fel low citizens, that eternal vigilance by the people is the price of liber ty; and that you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing. It behooves you, there fore, to be watchful in your States, as well as in the Federal Government. The power which the moneyed interest can exercise, when concentrated under a single head, U with your present system of currency, was sufficiently de monstrated in the struggle made by the Bank of the United States. Defeated in the General Govern ment, the same class of intriguers and politicians will now resort to the States, and endeavor to obtain there the same organization, which they failed to perpetuate in the U nion: and with specious and de ceitful plans of public advantages, and State interests, and State pride, they will endeavor to estab lish, in the different States, one moneyed institution with over grown capital, and exclusive pri vileges sufficient to enable it to control the operations of the oth- ...B,.LL er oanus. fcucn an institution will be pregnant with the same e- vils produced by the Bank of the united states, although its sphere of action is more confined; and in the btate in which it is chartered. ihe money power will be able to embody its whole strength, and to move together with "undivided lorce, to accomplish any object it may wish to attain. 1 on have al ready had abundant evidence of its power to inflict injury upon the agricultural, mechanical, and laboring classes of society; and over those whose engagements in trade or speculation render them dependent on bank facilities, the dominion of the State monopoly will be absolute, and their obedi ence unlimited. With such a bank and a paper currency, the money power would, in a few years, govern the State and con trol its measures: and if a suffi cient number of States can be in duced to create such establish ments, the time will soon come when it will again take the field a gainst the United States, and suc ceed in perfecting and perpetua ting its organization bv a charter from Congress. It is one of the serious evils of our present svstem of Imnlvino- that it enables one class of society and that by no means a nume rous one by its control over the currency, to act injuriously upon the interests of all the others, and to exercise more than its just pro portion of influence in political af fairs. The agricultural, the me chanical, and the laboring classes, have little or no share in the di rection of the great moneyed cor porations; and from their habits, and the nature of their pursuits, they are incapable of forming ex tensive combinations to act toge ther with united force. Such concert of action may sometimes be produced in a single city, or in a small district of country, by means of personal communica tions with each other; but thev have no regular or active corres pondence with those who are en gaged in similar puruits, in distant places; they have but little patro nage to give to the press, and ex ercise but a small share of influ ence over it; they have no crowd of dependents about them, who hope to grow rich without labor, by their countenance and favor, and who are, therefore, always ready to exectite their wishes. The planter, the farmer, the me ..i .1,111 ! i cuanic, ana me laoorer, ail Know that their success depends upon their own industry and economy. and that they must not expect to become suddenly rich by the fruits of their toil. Yet these classes of society form the great body of the people of the United States; they are the bone and sinew of the country; men who love liberty, and desire nothing but equal rights and equal laws, and who, moreover, hold the great mass of our national wealth, although it is distributed in moderate amounts among the millions of freemen who possess it. But, with over whelming numbers and health on their side, they are in constant danger of losing their fair influ ence in the government, and with difficulty maintain their just rights against the incessant efforts daily made to encroach upon them. The mischief springs from the power which the moneyed interest derives from a paper currency, which they are unable to control; Irom the multitude of rorpora tions, with exclusive privileges, which they have succeeded in ob taining in the different Stales, and which are employed altogether for their benefit; and uiless you become more w atchful in your States, and check this spirit of mo nopoly, and thirst for exclusive privileges, on will, in the end. find that the most important pow ers of Government have been giv 8, 1837. en or bartered away, and the con trol over your dearest interest has passed into the hands of these corporations. The paper money system, and its natural associates, monopoly and exclusive privileges, have al ready struck their roots deep in the soil; and it will require all your efforts to check its further growth, and to eradicate the evil. The men who profit by the abu ses, and desire to perpetuate them, ivill continue to besiege the halls of legislation in the General Gov ernment as well as in the States, and will seek, by every artifice, to mislead and deceive the public servants, It is to yourselves that you must look for safety, and the means of guarding and perpetua ting your free institutions. In your , hands is rightfully placed the sovereignty of the country, ana to you every one placed in authority is ultimately responsi ble. It is always in your power too see that the wishes of the peo ple are carried into faithful execu tion, and their will, when once made known, must sooner or later be obeyed. And while the peo ple remain, as 1 trust they ever will, uncorrupted and incorrupti ble, and continue watchful and jealous of their rights, the Govern ment is safe, and the cause of free dom will continue to triumph over all its enemies. But it will require steady and persevering exertions on your part to rid yourselv es of the ini quities and mischiefs of the paper system, and to check the spirit of monopoly and other abuses whicl have sprung up with it, and of which it is the main support. So many interests are united to resist all reform on this subject, that vou must not hope the conflict will be a short one, nor success easy. My humble efforts have not been soa red, during my administration of the Government, to restore the constitutional currency of gold and silver; and something, I trust, ha been done towards the ac complishment of this most desira ble object. But enough yet re mains to require all your energy and perseverance. The power, however, is in your hands, aud the remedy must and will be applied. if you determine upon it. While I am thus endeavoring to press upon your attention the principle which I deem of vital importance in the domestic con cerns of the country, I ought not to pass over, without notice, the important , considerations which should govern your policy to wards foreign Powers. It is, un questionably, our true interest to cultivate the most fnendly under standing with every nation, and to avoid, by every honorable means, the calamities of war; and we shall best attain this object by frankness and sincerity in our for eign intercourse, by the prompt and faithful execution of treaties, and by justice and impartiality in our conduct to all. But no na tion, however desirous of peace, can hope to escape occasional collisions with other powers; and the soundest dictates of policy re quire that we should place our selves in a condition to assert our rights, if a resort to force should ever become necessary. Our lo cal situation, our long line of sea coast, indented by numerous bays, with deep rivers openiug in to the interior, as well as our ex tended and still increasing com merce, point to the navy as our natural means of defence. It will, in the end, be found to be the cheapest and most effectual; and now is the lime, in a season ol peace, and with an overflowing revenue, that we can, year after year, add to its strength, withou! increasing the burdens of the ppn pie. It is your true policy. Foi your navy will not only protect your rich and flourishing com Vol XILI X 14 merce in distant seas, but will en able you to reach and annoy the enemy, and will give to defence its greatest efficiency, by meeting danger at a distance from home. It is impossible, by any line of fortifications, to guard every point from attack against a hostile force advancing from the oc i and se lecting its object; but they are in dispensable to protect cities from bombardment; dok yards and naval arsenals from destruction; to give shelter to merchant vessels in time of war, and to single ships or weaker rtjoadrons when pressed by superior force, for tifications of this description can not be too soon completed and ar med, and placed in a condition of the most perfect preparHtion. The abundant means we now pos sess cannot be applied in any manner more useful to the coun try; and when this is done, and j our naval hVee sufficiently ; strengthened, and our militia ar med, we need not fear that any nation will wantonly insult us, or needlessly provoke hostilities. We still more certainly preserve peace, when it is well under stood that we are prepared for war. In presenting to you, my fel low citizens, these pnriing coun sels, I have brought before you the leading principles upon which I endeavored to administer the Government in the high office with which you twice honored me. Knowing that the path of freedom is continually beset by enemies, who often assume the disguise of friends, I have devoted the last hours of my public life lo warn yon of the dangers. The prog ress of the United States, under our free and happy institution"!, has surpassed the most sanguine hopes of the founders of the re public. Our growth has been rapid beyond all former example, in numbers, in wealth, in knowl edge, and all the useful arts which contribute to the comforts aud convenience of man; and from the earliest ages of history to the pre sent day, there never have been thirteen millions of people associ ated together in one politic;.! bo dy who enjoyed so much freedom and happiness as the people of these United Slates. You have no longer any cause to fear dan ger from abroad; your strength and power are well known thro' out the civilized world, as well as the high and gallant bearing of your sons. It is from within, a mong yourselves, from cupidity, -from corruption, from disappoint ed ambition, and inordinate thirst for power, that factions will be formed and liberty endangered. It is against such designs, whatev er disguise the artors may assume, that you have especially to guard yourselves. Yoti have the high est of human trusts committed to your care. Providence has show ered on this favored land blessings without number, and has chosen you as the guardians of freedom to preserve it for the benefit of the human race. May He, who holds in his hands the destinies of na tions, make you worthy of the fa vors he has bestowed, and ena ble you, with pure hearts and sleepless vigilance, to guard and defend to the end of lime the- ' great charge he has committed to your keeping. My own race is nearly run; ad vanced age and failing health warn me that before long J must pass beyond the reach of human events, and cease to feel the vicissitudes of human affairs. I thank God that my life Ins bei. spent in a land of liberty, and that he has given me a heart to love my country with- he affection of a son. And, fill ed with gratitude for your con fant and unwavering kindness, t iid yon a last and aSectiouale farewell. ANDREW JACKSON. i 'f I 1
