It is unnecessary for me lo say more on this subject than, let the mode of collecting, keeping, and disbursing the public revenue be what it may, this authority granted by l(tw is indispensable to the proper exercise and execution of the fiscal operations of tbo Government and has been so from the foundation of the Government, and from the wii.ely extended territory of the United States, in and to which, these operations ex tend must beappaient to every unprejudiced mind. As to the painuwge, and its affect iYom the proposed plan, t would ask what sort of proportion a few of these depositories at those few points in the Union where larg,e a mounts ol revenue are collected, bear to the patronage resulting from a broad cast sys tem ot favoring such as might suit the purpose of the concerned, selected from the 8 or u"wed banks in the Union? It would be but a mole hill to a mountain. It will be seen too that great misapprehension exists upon the subject of executive patronage ge nerally. Ihe executive department can exercise no patronage which the Legislature does not impose upon it. The President cannot create one office, nor can be till after their creation any of the public offices, except "by and with the advice and consent of the Senate." "lie shall nominate and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, appoint f Ambassadors; oilier pub ic ministers and consuls, Judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the Ut ited Mates, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be establishid by laic- but the Cou-rress may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers, as they think pro per, in the 1 resident alone, in the Courts of law, or in the Heads of Departments." The above will be found in the 2d paragraph of the 2d section of the 2d article of the Constitution of the United States. The 3d paragraph of the same section says: "The President shall have power tofdl up all vacancies that happen dming the reeess of the Sen ue, by granting commissions which shall expire at the end of their next session." Thus it will be seen that the Executive cannot exercise any patronage except what is imposed upon him by law in pursuance of the Constitution, and even such as they grant, is in part divided between him and the Senate. Nor has he any method of pre venting or checking lavish expenditure authorised as it is by the legislation of Con- gn .s, out ny me exercise ot his constitutional Veto, tor which when exercised he is so profusely abused. The Constitution says: "He shall take care that the laws are faith fully executed." So that when passed he is imperatively ordered lo sec them faithful ly executed, and thus exercises that patronage which gets him many more enemies than friends. And it may safely be assumed, that a large portion of the opposition and enmity lo every administration originates from the disappointed applicants for office and Executive favor, because there are many more office-seekers than offices. I find in travelling about the country that some believe, that if the plan proposed for taking care of the public money be adopted, that they are to be deprived of the use of bank notes. A moment's reflection would shew that this is mere fancy Con gress has nothing lo do with State banks, and there are no others, so that the same banks and bank notes will still exisA unless another fantastic idea should he realized, that without the use of the public money the banks tould not go on. This is paying a very poor compliment to the wealth and power of these concerned in these institutions. If this be true they ought to go down; hut it is not true. A United States Bank chartered by Congress seems to be the plan preferred and pla ced in opposition to the proposed pian of keeping live public money. There are two principal objections, which appear insuperable to this. It will appear that the framers ol the Constitution not only did not intend to give authority to create such an institu tion, hut that the power was refused. "Saturday, August 18th, 17S7," the Conven tion which framed the Constitution being in session, additional powers were proposed to ne vested in the legislature ot the United States, that is, in Congress. Among the addition In this, they insist on having as additional capital for this kind of unequal m amage, uiu u.-e 01 ,m; puoiic money, v or one l will not consent to this.

This being not granted, it was proposed simply "to Krant charters of into to issue pap: r money, or as i nac nearu it smi, sun-treasury notes. I his is wholly er roneous It is sometimes said th: t this method might do if we could find honest men. Are we to understand by this th:: t :hu. are no honest men except in banks? No doubt there are boccst men acting as olliccrs in banks, but it is lair !o presume that there are honest m incompe- proposcd simply "to urant charters of incorpo ration." As an evidence beyond all sort of cavil, these were rejected and not the sha do w of a shade of them can be found in th.6 Constitution, while several of the other powers proposed at the same time are parts of that instrument. These proposed pow ers may be seen on pages 260, 2GI, of the Journal of the Federal Convention which Piiyments may be transmitted by mail, lslage paid ai our risk.

But it could never be necessary or proper to violate the Constitution, nor as a officer of any place or depository where the money is kept, and ihisis his authority Xor , matter of expediency merely, could it be so. As to the expediency of the question, navin" it over to such disbursing officer, or claimant, in favor of whom the draft hasjfusj experience and the history of the operations of that institution seem to have satis- and dangerous lo the strict constructionist of ght to grant charters of internal improvement than the law directs an ollence ior un.cn uu.) umu i.ic imj uvumcut, "c-.10I authorised hy tne tyonstiiution, wnnin me junsu.ciionai anu territorial limits oi tne side oilier tjunishment consonani w.in uju uucu i m,,. .. ..v.,.., j Elates. i o 151 ate iiignis man can voie ior euner 01 inese great municipal rignits 01 mu oiates oeing cxerciscu oy me 1 eoerai uovtrnmeiu uiiuoul giving iqj ins piuiesseu principles. The sites or places where these works are projected in this State arc parts of the territory of North Carolina consisting either of land or land and water, entirely within the territorial and jurisdictional limits of the State and therefore exclusively State matters, with which Congress has no constitutional right whatever in any way to intermeddle, nor could this be done even for purposes authorised by the Constitution, without first vesting the rights of soil and jurisdiction in the Federal Government in trust for the United States. Then and not tri I then could Congress commence consti tutionally, any works for national purposes of any description. It is true "and pity 'tis, 'tis true," that such power has been assumed, usurped palpably and in violation of that great constitutional principle of State rights so plainly and visibly contained in the 9th and 10th amendments of the Constitution. By which usurpation between twelve and fifteen millions of public money have been uselessly wasted, as will be seen; by a recent report of the committee of ways and means. As my vote in the Legislature in regard to ihe surplus has been called in question : I here introduce my Protest entered ou the journals at the time, which shows my 0D jection to that measure: "PROTEST of Dr. Hall of Edgecombe, against the bill to receive that . -portion of the public money to which this Slate is entitled under the act of Ctjngress called the Depusiie Hill.
