dutv, I should feel myself called n bv the facts disclosed to order a
tcire arias against the Bank, with a view to put nn end to the
chartered rights it has so pnlitahty violated, were it not I lint the
charter itself will expire as soon iis n decision wvuld probably be
obtained from the court of last resort.
I called the utteution of Congress to this subject in my last nnnu
al message, nnd infurined them that such measures as were within
the reach of the Secretary of the Treasury, had been taken to en
able him to judge whether Ihe public deposiics in the Bank of Ihe
United States were entirely safe; but that aa hi single powers
might be inadequate Id the object, I recommended the subject to
Congress,' as worthy of their serious inyestigali.rn : duclariug.it us
hiy opinion, that" an iiiqiiiry inio (he transactions of that rnstitutjon,
emhrucing the Rranc.hea as well us tlw 'principal Bank, was called

might justly exctle the apprehension that they were no longer a safe
depository for the public money, The extent la which the exam

mils, and is too well known lo require to be stated. Such aa was
made, resulted in a report from a majority of the Committee of Ways
and Means, touching certain specified points only, concluding with
ued in the Rank of U.e United States. This resolution was adopted
at. the close of the session, by the vote of a majority of the House
i nepreseoiniives.

from the brief views at this time taken of the subject by myself, aa
well as .the more ample ones presented by the Secretary pf the
Treasury, that the change in tire deposites which has been ordered,
ha been deemed to be called for by considerations, which are not
nflried.ly ll.e nr.M-edinffl referred to. and which, if c.VrrrJ.1., ;.'L.

The many distressing accidents which hnve of late occurred in
thnt portion of our navigation carried on by the uso of steam
power, deserve tho immediate and unremitting attention of Ihe coif
stituted authorities of the country. The fact that' the number of
(hose fatal disasters is constantly increasing; notwithstanding the"
great imprrveinents which are every where made in tho.macr.inerv""
xmployed, and in thq rapid advances which have been made iti that
brauch or science, show very clearly thaj,they are in a great degree
the result of criminal negligenco on the part of those by whom Jhs
vessels are navigated, and to ubrwe c
property of our citizens are so extensively enlrustedf.., .
