At the date . i.A - c , r i:u au r- t:ii cl OUr Ida l leitcra num. lvciitiu, uic vuiiyciiiiui uiii vas the engrossing subject, and it was expected that ii3 discussion would occupy nearly the whole of the i ' ' - mi remainder oi ine session . x nere nave been, bo far, says thq Register, 45 Acts of a private na f ire, passed, about a dozen Resolutions oi various ft kinds, and only Jive Public Acts! Lr. 9L Bank. We have placed on our second page , a few interesting extracts from the Southern Revie w, in relation to the United States' Bank. With regard to the constitutionality of thia institution, we regret that we have been able to give jo small a portion of the arguments of the Reviewer ; but !rt there should remain on the minds of any of our reader?, a shadow ci" doubt on this head, we subjoin the following, which, !j u?, appear conclusive . , It appears from Jefferson's Work?, 4th vol. page 2G0, that a proposition was made in the Convention which formed the Constitution, to crive to Congress the-rih1 to establish a National Bank, and that the vropoaition was rejected " as was every other special fttwer, except mat oi giving copy-rights to autnors, Trom the Journals of the Convention, page 260, it ;.ppcars that, an attempt was made to give Congress the poorer to erect Corporations, specially and gen crally ; and that both of these propositions were re cried. A proposition was also made to authorize OonsrreFs to open Canals, with the power to incorpo rate for that purpose, which vtnarejeeted; and jpne of ? .e reasons ure-ed in debate was. tnat in mat caw t'icyi would have the power to erect a Bank. These propositions were all rejected, and, in the language ti the Reviewer, "thry appear to furniph an answer o the arguments in favor of the constitutionality of the Bank, absolutely .conclusive. It ie, in the worxb 'if Montesquieu, " Reponse sans rcplique". Since Mr. Madison has come out in favor of the constitutionality of the Bank, and the right of the General Government " to tax ope portion ofthe com munity for the benefit of the other," there have not r heen. wanting many to laud him to the skies as a political i-eero whose superior judgment all defer ence ouht unhesitatingly to be given. Now we jhoul l resrret to be wanting in respect, for the opin ions of distinguished nn indi vidual as Mr. Maeon, ; ,r he was a 'member of the Convention which formed :Le Constitutir, and ought, therefore, to be listened ) Willi aU(-lllll'Ut All Ip 'V.-t.Avll Ji IM'l VI .ltonk of the United State?, in 1791, only eight years . after the formation of the Constitution, lie maintains t;,o true republican doctrine in the.followingemphatic jniinjc: l It appeared on the nholc, that the power excrci t o.d by the bill was , '' Condemned by the silence of the Constitution. :1 Condemnedhy the rule of interpretation arising cut of tlie Constitution. " . ;i Condemned by its tendency to destroy the mahr 'characteristic of the Constitution. ; u Condemned by the expositions of the friends of ' I).? Constitution, whilst depending before the public. ; Condemned by the apparent intention of the parties which ratified the Constitution. ''Condemned by the explanatory amendments proposed' by Gringn'ra themselves to the Constitution. - And he hoped it would receive its final conclem- ' 'i.iition by the vote of the House." Whether the opinione of -Mr. Madison in 1791, are T.tf entitled to respect than any he may at present t, catfcrtairi, we leave to the public to determine. We will now pass on to notice, very briefly, a few j tthcr objections to this Institution. We regard as objectionable the fact that the Gov- eiaaiem ownsDUl one-pjii oi ine slock, wuiie urumi :ohlcmcn owning perhaps as mnch or more, may, ::i the event of an emergency, have it in their power fa prevent any loan-which the future necessities of j.he government may require. Again. In a confederate republic-like ours, no institution should be permitted 3 cxibt that could crush, at will, the Banks which the States may think proper to establish. On this head, tte will let the Reviewer speak for himself. . i: ThefChairman of the Committee of the Senate, ueneral Smith, puts this question to Mr. Nicholas Uiddlc tlie President of the Bank : Has the Bank, at any time, oppressed any of . State Banks ?" i o tnis sapient inqmr Mr. Biddle answers, of course, Ao, never. But there are very few Banks that 'Wtfkt not have been destiny ed by an exertion of the Vcr of the Bank. . . ; L. IVo further fact or argument is necessary, to shew w aangerous character of this institution. Who ' promise that this overwhelming power will not exerted during twenty years from 1836 ? et it be remembered, that this enormous power w control extends directly over every debtor of the anu, mairectiy, over tne orhc-rs .indirectly, alsp over the debtors of every Bank 'adcr the influence or the rod of that mammoth insti- ' 'ution.: ! SucK a power as this: may buy op the States by 1 "ans f millions ; may lay legislators under pecuniary 0jI:gaf ions ; may influence the decieion of political Tactions ; may forbid any debtor to be a patriot : and may quietly and secretly distribute its loans and dis Counts as, in fact, to govern the Government, and lrpetaate its own power." AS'ftuj. This Bank trades on the credit and rev- . "While Mr. Jefferson A1 Hf aAn r;k and hi h nt,-rePub'CRn tendencies were suppressed, -h cf "e an able and strenuous advocate for the ten t i, 'If?' .S'nce Mr- Jefferson's death, be has cho- own iai.r . 7 "n men mny Blades inferior to his t3A; "ndlfc M look at the changa chueof the United States, while four-fifths of the stock belong to individuals. It has invested three millions in lands, and the tenants will be as much under its control, as the la bourers in the New England factories are under the direction of their employel-s. These are only a few of the prominent objections to the Bank, which we find urged with uncommon ability by the Reviewer. The chief argument now made use of by the advo cates of the Bank, seems to be, that if is indispensably necessary to carry on the fiscal operations oi the gov ernment. It certainly is not indispensably necessary. The extinguishment of the public debt, and the con seqtient repeal of duties which will follow that event, will reduce the revenue from the enormous sum of twenty-seven millions per annlm, to about twelve; and hence, the treasury will be relieved from the em barrassment which the distribution of the public mon ies now occasions it. There will, therefore, very soon, be less necessity than now exists, for such an institution, and the specie paying State Banks, will, as effectually as the U. S. Bank, afford every requisite facility to the operations of government. The Bank Bills. The bills which were introdu ced into the Legislature to incorporate three new Banks, have been rejected. Our towa member, we notice, voted in favor of the bills. The Select Committee appointed by fthe Free Trade Convention, recently convened in Philadel phia, has been summoned by by Mr. Gallatin, its Chairman, to meet at New York on the 4th of the present month. We presume that the result of their investigations will in a few days.be submitted to Conrea-. rt i , Mr. Editor, I waa pleased to notice in your last paper that you had taken up the cudgels againsttheU. S. Bank. May you continue your exertions in opposition to that Institution, which, if not prostrated, will be hereafter a source of incalculable mischief and danger to our Country. . The accompanying communication on this subject, taken from a late number of the Rich mond Enquirer, is worthy of insertion in your useful paper. A SUBSCRIBER. TO THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES. Fellow Citizens : The Address of the "National Republican Convention" deserves the most profound consideration of every citizen. Not that it has any intrinsic merit ; for it deals principally in vague ge neralities and baseless surmises, and breathes through out the spirit of a heartless coalition, in a characteris tic style ot composition ; unles the lew devotional as pirations lifted up towards the unique trio Henry Clay, John Sergeant,, and the U. S.' Bank may be considered an exception. Yet this Address does be tray to the reflecting mind, in the annunciation ot a sincle fact, the awfully perilous condition of our coun try. Awfully perilous, indeed, when we look to the instruct our Senators, and request our Representa tives, to oppose the renewal of the charter, inasmuch as they were presumed to be fully acquainted with ikn C LI" - -1 1 .M uro w puunc opinion on me Buojecx.

Since our last paper, says the Richmond Compiler, of Tuesday, several of our worthiest families have been covered with mourning. Deatn nas strucK down the old and the young. On Saturday last, our society was deprived of STEPHEN GIRARD. It is with no common emotions of regret, that we announce the demise of Stephen Girard, a gentleman whose immense wealth gave him not less celebrity, than its judicious applica tion to purposes ot extensive public utility, as well as individual emolument. In one sense, and in the best sense, Mr. Girard maybe justly called a Public Be nefactor; lor the public improvements he projected and executed, were unequalled by those of any other individual. As a Merchant his operations were very extensive; and the commerce of Philadelphia will long deplore the abstraction of his Capital from its Business. Pennsylvania Yrmg. Stephen Girard's. Will. We learn by a private letter received yesterday from Philadelphia, that the contents ot Mr. Ciirard's will are known. The exe cutors are William J. Duane, William Barclay, Ti- motny raxon, J. Koberis, and Thos. P. Cope, Esqrs. It is estimated that Mr. Girard has left between ele ven and twelve millions of property, which is divided as follows $2,000,000, and a lot for a Public School, under the direction of Council the income of all his real es tate in Pennsylvania to support it. His nieces $ 10 and 20 000 each. $300,000 to Pennsylvania, for public improvements $30,000 to Pennsylvania Hos pital. The different charitable institutions, $ 10,000 each. $ 500,000 to the city of New-York, being the first place in which he landed. $ 1,500 per annum, for each ofhis captains. $5,000 to his brother in Bordeaux, and $5,000 for each of his children.
