Their Charters, it may bethought, alreai. provide for the payment of their notes in speci-. but it is manifest that fi oui some caaxe or otho the legal obligation, if any, is treated with de rision, and tlio omnipotence of Banks has he come almost proverbial : If in this particular I am wron, I should be gratified tu be convinced of my 'error by practical demonstration; right, the sooner it is known the better, in order that the people, may no longer be deluded by the vasraries of a wild fancy, .tout may la d'w season " render to Csesar the things that ar.' Caesar's. " lam not disposed to assert, neitlie do 1 believe, that the Banks have been the side cause of our difficulties ; for the people them selves, by an indulgence in pro hgal and extra vacant habits, are justly chargeable fur a fui portion, and grievously are they sustaining tic demands of retributive justice; for they msy be said, under the distressing pressure, to have bed, and to be still shedding drups ot nlood But is it equitable, 1 would ask,' that they should not only suffer lor their own misconduct, but for the misconduct of others? I apprehend not The farmer must not only give up the profits of his farm, but the farm itself, to meat the demand of his creditors. The same may be and of the merchant, and indeed of every branch ol in dustry, save that ot the Stockholder, and the Stockholder alone ; but, by some species of le gerdemain incomprehensible to a plain man, suma iof the Banks when hard pressed, instead of mak ing the ordinary sacrifices to meet the demands of justice, indienautly close their vaults, and ister to their comloi is, and gradually, as the j ju the Honorable the Genera I Assemblij of the tel .the holder ot their notes with ineffable gamt retires, draw tliein to us.

By such posts, aided by a proper regu I peradd, save that of a reiteration ot the same DS the premium having been advanced by their doctrines, together with a few reflections on the tim and the occurrences growing out of them. In discharging this duty, I shall, as I have been wont to' do, deal frankly with you ; for I can see uo reason why, in this, our parting inter view, a different course should be pursued. Indeed the impulses of a heart glowing with a grateful recollection of the renewed instances of confidence reposed in me by my Fellow Citizens would forbid a different course. I canant, however, expect that- all should unite with me in sentiment in the reflections I ation of our trade with them, and a 'judicious civil administration over them, to be provided for by law, we shall, it is presumed, be enabled pot only to protect our own settlements from their savage incursions, and preserve peace a mong the several tubes, hut accomplish alto the great purpose of their civilization. - Considerable progress has also been made in the construction of ships of war, some of which lave been launched in the course of the present year, Our Tteara with thp. nnwprs on tlm fount rS Barbary hasbeen-preserved,but we owe it alto-l introduce, presenting so many dit- gether to ihe presence of oar squadron in the -fo-ent aspects and vieweil tlirougta so many dif Mediterraneari. It has been fouad . equally ne- i feren mediums. Nevertheless it ts mdisputa cessary to employ some of our vessels for the ,b,e that when 10 the Pess of time, and the protection of our commerce in the Indian sea, unerring development of events measures oiigi tbe Pacific, and along the Atlantic coast. The aa,,Jr designed to promote the general interest, interests which we have depending in those quarters, which have been much improved of late, are of great extent, and of high importance to the nation-, as wel as to the parties cuncern eJ, and would undoubtebly suffer, if such pro tection was oot extended to them. In execu tion of the law of the last session, for the sup pression of the Slave Trade, some of our public hips have also been employed on theLco&st of .Africa, where several captures have already been are found to be subversive of those tntotests, and fraught with consequences not anticipated; that it becomes an imperious duty with those entrusted-with the sovereign power to pause and pooder well before they make further ad vaocei,and calmly'and dispasionately to take a retrospect of the past, in order that ther may be the better able to discern between adverse fortune, flowing from human frailty and human indiscretion, and those national reverses and made of vessels eugaged in 6at disgraceful traf- calamities Which no human foresight or pru fC Idence could avert. But on such a retrospect, I m - r.. n J-J xi i : 1 1 c JAMES MONROE. T "rr" v w.u udq Tfaeliington, November 14, U.29. wivl be pleastiraWj impelled to offer up to the needy customers, for the purpose of obtaining additional accommodation at Bank, that they nevertheless nave it in their power to make a profit thereon and enhance their dividends, and that upon a full view of all the circumstances, it will be to the interest ot the Bank to deeline payment altogether. Suppose an individual was to be guilty ot the same conduct, would he not be universally stigmatised, and would he not deservedly incur lbs. epithet of 'swindler By what species of sophistry, then, or in what system ot ethics can it be tound, (hat an indivi dual shall be thus degraded and stripped even to the last cow that gives sustenance to his fa mily, to meet the demands of his creditors, that does not equally apply to an association of individuals under the character of Bank Stock holders, Bank Directors, or. what not ? The principle, I apprehend, is alike applica . ble to all ; but the practice in this our day is very different, for as I have observed above, do you find the Stockholder giving up his dividend to sustain the character of his Bank or making the ordinary sacrifices to procure the specie or what may be deemed an equivalent for specie to re deem his .paper ? Na : on the contrary, you nnu him securely entrenched behind his impreg nable ramparts, drawing bis eight, ten or twelve Eer cent interest, and defying the storm which is own cupidity has contributed to excite. But it mar be impatiently asked, what shall be done to relieve the people from their present unparalleled burthens ? I most candidly ac- .-t Im n j'in r on the StlSie guac cn I us to eufirce my id?a better atlap. ted'ton occni m than the lingutge fifths ConMutio:i iSelf, io tie tit art. soc 8t', tla piwer to o.n m-xiey. regulate the value thereof, an 1 of fore:gi coin is exjneisly givan to Con r, a-id in tie ICHh sec. the States are as ex rsly forbidden to coin money, emit bill ot ere Jit, ornitke any tiling but gold and silver coi.i a teider in payment of debt. Son years past the L-gislature without due rell'ctioo, I am ;ieruded, and raerely tosup oly nu r.iti.Pis v ith r.'.iinge, directed the sui.i if a s mil q intity of Treasury Notes or ce r. fiiiU. s yet, fv mu the limited quantity e niltfd, no very serious mischiefs have reiulted; out ii it - ion 1 u iforLj'nately be drawn i.ato a nrecc lent, and he L'iilature should, at any uture peiiod, direct the issuing of a large juaotity to upi:y t ie defect of our circulating" ne liu-n. w n f tuen pul adieu to the restora tion ot a wliiics ime currency, and take along, in; ftreiveil of the sa'utary provisions of the v3 instttution. unless jseradveuture a reJee.uing vnrit 'should be fiu.rJ in tne judiciary of our country. tiie otuer expeilie.its that have been spoken if are in my opinion, equally vain and nugato ry, and if r-duced to practice, will be found io oe worse than th" d sease. The conclusion the i of the whole matter is ' is, that it is your duty to legislate efficiently on he ft ihject a itive referred to, and to place those' .i iidl lTis itutions on such a basis as will pro ni3 stabilitv and the greest uniformity ia their iss aid thereby prevent those rapid ap-i-eciations a .id depreciations which may be cor--ctlv cili l 'he Pandora's Box, from whence; .&ve flowed so many deleterious consequences. Fi iy the estaolishment of Banks, money is ;i t only made: but, by their failure to pay spe :'.e, the value thereof is indirectly regulated, and thus the salutary provisions of our consti tution are virtually defeated. It is far fro n being my wish to injure the cha racter of our Banks, r cause their paper to de preciate still more ! My solicitude is to direct our i- Attention to the " most eligible ways andT neatis to re-establish their credit and place their upur on a par with specie, the only standard of value that can be relied on : for I take pleasure i i saying, that there are, in my opinion, but few institutions of the kind in the IJaion more solvent, and none where fewer cases of indi vul ial noral turpitude can be found. The Judiciary Department of our State, thd' much indebted to the wise aod liberal policy of your immediate predecessors tor an important arrange nent in the Supreme branch of it, is utill in many respects, defective. As an evi dence, advert to the appointments and resigna tions wn.cn nave tauen place tor the last six or eight years. And do they not present to those disposed to smile and smile sarcastically, some- what ot a ludicrous scene f And, indeed, if T may be permitted to speak plainly, does it not manifestly degrade the character of the State, impair the usefulness of that department of our government ; and at the same time wound the honorable sensibilities of the reflecting part of the community ? If economy is the object, I I pray you to examine the expenses that have been incurred by the State, ia convening the Council tor the purpose of filling vacancies oc casioned by the resignation of our Judges, and yor will then find that the triffling addition to the salary requisite to retain them on the Bench, would be the btH economy you could practise. This, however, is not, in my opiniou, our true policy. A diminution of thdif labors, which would be virtually an increase ot salary, is in dubitably the remedy called for by experience. There are two ways iy which this may b done. The one by the restoration of the district principle, new-moddelled and refined ; the other, by the creation of two Ot three addi tional circuits- The first t shall never think of. but with the most anxious solicitude to see re established ; for I have ever viewed this feature in our old system, the offspring of revolutiona ry times, with the most profound veneration and respect for the wisdom of our ancestors, from, whose pure and patriotic heads and hearts it- flowed ; mingled at the same time with the most poignant regrets for the rash act that expunged it from our Statute Book. If, however, this change, so desirable and .inestimable in itself, should be deemed impracticable,' I would re spectfully submit, as a dernier resort, the pro- l J ' -J VI, priety of making two additional circuits. Again The organization of our County Coarts, or quarterly sessions, it seems to me may be much improved ; and with due defer ence, I wilt take the liberty of submitting for your consideration an idea or two, suggested not only by my own reflections on the subject, but supported by the concurring opinions of some of our most experienced and intelligent citizens: Innovations, admit, should be strict ly scrutinized before they receive the counte nance and approbation of the Legislature; but P 1. -
