exchange.
It should also be enjoined upon any Banks
vhich may bfe employed, that it will be expec
ted of them f(J facilitate domestic exchanges for
the benefit of internal commerce ; to grant all
reasonable facilities to the payers of the reve
nue ; to exercise the utmost liberality towards
the other State Banks; and do nothing use
lessly to embarrass the Bank of the United
States.
As one of the most serious objections to the
Hank of thcUnited States, is the power which
it concentrates, care must be taken in finding
other agents for the service of the Treasury
not to raise up another power equally formi
dable. Although it would probably be impos
sible to produce such a result by any organi
zation of the State Banks which could be de
vised yet is desirable to avoid even the ap
pearance. To this end it would be expedient
to assume no more power over them, and inter
fere no more in their affairs than might be abso
lutely necessary to the security of the public de
posite, and the faithful performance of their du
ties as agents of. the. Treasury. Any interfer
ence by them in the political contests of the
country, with a view to influence elections,
ought, in the opinion of the President, to be
ibllowed by an inlmediate discharge from the
public service.
It is the desire of the President that the con
trol of the Banks and the currency, shall as far
as possible, be entirely separated from the po
litical power ot the country, as well as wrested
irom an institution wich has already attempt
led to subject the government to its will. In
las opinion, the aciion of the General Govern
ment on this subject ought not to extend beyond
Hie grant in the Constitution, which only au
thorizes Congress "to coin money and regu
late the value thereof;" all else belongs to the
States and the people and must be regula
ted by public opinion and the interests of
trade. Cv
In conclusion, the president must be permit
ted to remark that the looks upon the pending
question as of higher consideration than the
mere transfer of a sum of money from one
Bank to another. Its decision may affect the
character of our Go verument for ages to come.
Should the bank be suffered longer to, use the
public moneys, in the accomplishment of its
purposes, with the proofs of the faithlesness
and corruption before our eyes, the patriotic
among our citizens will despair of succes in
.struggling against its power ; and we shall be
responsible for entailing it upon our country
iorever. Viewing it as a question of transcen
dent importance, both in the principles and
consequences it involves, the President could
ot, in justice to the responsibility which he
owes to the country, refrain pressing upon the
Secretary of the Treasury, his view of the
considerations which impel to immediate ac
tion! "Upon him has been devolved by the
Constitution and the suffrages of the Ameri
can "peopje, the duty of superintending the
operations of the Executive Departments of
the Government, and seeing that the laws are
faithfully executed. In the performance of
this ni jh trust, it is his undoubted right to ex
press to those whom the laws of his own
choice have made his associates in the admin
istaatlon of the Government, his opinion of
their duties under circumstances as they arise.
It is this right which he now exercises. Far
be it from him to expect or require, that any
member of the Cabinet should at his request,
order or dictation, do any act which he be
lieves unlawful, or in his conscience condemns
From them, and from his fellow citizens in
general, he "desires only that aid and support
which their reason approves 'and their con
science sanctions.
In the remarks he has made n this all im
portant question, he trusts the Secretary of
the Treasury will see only the frank and res
pectful declarations of the opinions which the
President has formed on a measure of great
national interest, deeply affecting the charac
ter and usefulness of Ms administration ; and
not a spirit ot dictation, which the President
would be as careful to avoid, as ready to resist.
Happy will he be, if the facts now disclosed
produce uniformity of opinion and unity of
action among the members of the adminis
tration! The President Again repeats that he begs his
Cabinet to consider the prbposed measure as
his own, in the course of which he shall re
quire no one of them tu make a sacrifice of
opinion or principle. Its responsibility has
been assumed, after the most mature delibera
tion and reflection, as necessary to preserve
the morals of the people, the freedom of the
press and the purity of the elective franchise,
without which all will unite in saying that the
blood and treasure expended by our forefath
ers in tlie establishment; of our happy Govern
ment will have been vain and fruitless. Under
these Convictions, he feels that a measure so
important to the American people cannot -be
commenced too soon; and he therefore names
the first day of October next as a period proper
for the change of the deposites, or sooner, pro
vided the necessary arrangements with the
State Banks can be made.

r . llppRT OF THE GOVERNMENT
; Direciofe of the Bank of the United Slates to the
4 in?! ?m' rdative to the Printing Expenses of that
Caw"' TfeTTCd l inthe Ipet read to his
. fe l8th September, 1833.
othePrefentudSta,es:
Sir : We had theC i"!' 1833
ter of the 3d instant, direct?n'C?ei!c 'our let"
and report upon the Expense AcVonnT1
Jiankfof the United States, for th2ln,t f the
Wr. Those of us to whom u ' r.sl tw"
-reTjlje'sfed th attendance of our oo'uagne'i
mode would have prevented our resorting to
it at present, even had you authorized us to do
so, for we have believed it would be more con
sistent with your wishes that we should at
once report the result of our own labors, leav
ing you to decide, after you shall have been
made acquainted with them, whether such a
more minute statement of the Expense Ac
count be requisite. We may add, too, that
finding the particulars of many expenditures
were to be ascertained only by an investigation
of numerous bills andreceipts, we requested,
at the Board, that the Cashier might furnish
such a statement of therh as might be suscep-
tioje oi reauy examination ; out as this request
was not complied with, we were obliged to
depend entirely on our own partial inquiries.
These facts we mention, merely to guard
against any aenciency you may observe in our
remarks, and any inaccuracies, should there be
such, in the details which we communicate.
As the Expense Account embraces the va
rious expenditures for salaries, making and
issuing notes," transportation of specie, build
ings, repairs, and taxts on real estate, station
ery, printing and contingencies of all kinds
it is necessarily so large and intricate, that we
deemed it inexpedient at present to confine our
investigation to that portion which embraced
expenditures, calculated to operate on the elec
tions, as they seemed to be the objects of in
quiry suggested by you. All expenditures of
this kind, introduced into the Expense Ac
count, and discovered by us, we found to be,
so far as regards the institution in this city,
embraced under the head of stationery and
printing. To it, therefore, we chiefly directed
our inquiries : and an examination of that item
of the account, for the last three years, undoubt
edlypresents circumstances which, in our opin
ion, fully warrant the belief you have been led
to entertain. -
The Expense Account is made up at the end
of every six months, and submitted with the
vouchers to the Dividend Committee, for exa
mination. Commencing with the last six months
of the year 1829, we find that the sum paid for
Stationery and Printing amounted to $3,765
94, which we presume to be the necessary ex
pense of the institution, under this item, when
no extraordinary disbursements are made. Du
ring the year 1830, the expenditures increased
to $7,131 27 during the first, and $6,950 20 du
ring the last half year, and entries are made in
both," of large sums, making together about
$7,000, paid for printing and distributing Mr.
McDuihe s report and Mr. Gallatin s pamphlet.
These seem to be the commencement of a sys
tem of expenditure, which was, the next
year, immensely "increased, and received
the sanction of the Board, as appears by the
entries on the minute, and two resolutions
passed at the close of this year and in the suc
ceeding spring.
On the 30th November, 1830, it is stated in
the minutes, that " the President submitted to
the Board a copy of an article on Banks andii
Currency, jupt published in the American Quar
terly Review, of this city, containing a favora
ble notice of this institution, and suggested the
expediency of making the views of the author
more extensively known to the public, than
they can be by means of the subscription list
whereupon it was, on motion, Resolved, That
the President be authorized to take such mea
sures, in regard to the circulation of the con
tents of Xhe said aticle, either in whole or in
part, as he may deem most for the interests of
the Bank. On the 11th March, 1831, i t again
appears., by the minutes, that 'the President
stated to the Board, that in consequence of the
general desire expressed by the Directors, at
one of their meetings of the last year, subse
quent to the adjournment of Congress, and a
verbal understanding with the Board, measures
had been taken by him, in the course of that
year, for furnishing numerous copies of the
report of General Smith and Mr. McDuffie, on
the subject of this Bank, and for widely dis
seminating their contents, through the United
States ; and that he has since, by virtue of the
authority given him by a resolution of this
Board on the 30th day of November last, cau
sed a large edition of Mr. Gallatin's essay on
Banks and Currency to be published and cir
culated, in like manner at the expense of the
Bank. He suggested, at the same time, the
propriety and expediency of extending, still
more widely, a knovvlede of the concerns of
this institution, by means of the re-publication
of other valuable articles, which had issued
from the daily and periodical press whereup
oni it was on motion, Resolved, That the Pre
sinentis hereby authorized to cause to be pre
pared and circulated, such documents" and pa
pers as may communicate to the people infor
mation in regard to the nature and operations
of the Bank."
In pursuance, it is presumed, of these reso
lutions, the item of stationery and printing
was increased, during the-first half of the year
1827, to the enormous sum of $29,979 92,
exceeding that xf the previous half year by
$23,000 and exceeding the semi -annual ex
penditure of 18 ,9, upwards of 26,000. The
Expense Account itself, as made up in the book
which was submitted to us, contained very lit
tle information relative to the particulars of
this, expenditure and we were obliged, in or
der to obtain them, to resort to an inspection
of the vouchers. Among other sums was one
of $7,801, stated to be paid on orders of the
President, under the resolution of 11th March,
1831, and the orders themselves were the only
vouchers of the expenditure which we found
on file some of the orders, to the amount
of about $ 1,800, slated that the expenditure
was for distributing General Smith's and Mr.
McDufhVs reports and Mr. Gallatin's pamph
let ; but the rest stated generally that it was
made, un ler the solution of 11th March, 8131.
There were also numerous bills and receipts
far expenditures to individuals, among thera
zette, and supplements containing addresses to
members of the State Legislatures, review of
Mr. Benton's speech, abstracts hi Mr. Gallatin's
article from the American Quarterly Review,
and editorial article on the Project of a Trea
sury Bank; of James Wilson, $1,447 75 for
25,000 copies of the reports of McDuffie and
Mr. Smith, ajid for 25,000 copies of the ad
dress to members of the State Legislatures,
agreeably to order and letters frotn John Ser
geant, Esq.; and of Carey fc Lea $2,850 for
iu,uuu copies ot Uallatm on Banking, and
2,000 copies of Professer Tucker's article.

uuring ine secono nan year oi iei, tneitem
of stationery and printing was $11,224 87, of
which $5,010 were paid oil orders of the
President. nd stated ffenerallv to be under the
resolution of the 11th March, 1831, and other
sums were paid to individuals, as in the pre
vious accounts, for printing and distributing
documents.
During the first half year of 1832, the item
of stationery and printing was $12,134 f6, oi
which $2,150 are stated to have been naid on
orders of the President, under the resolution of
11th March, 1831. There are also various in
dividual payments, of which we noticed $106

the Review ot Mr. Benton's Speech; $200 for
1 000 copies of the Saturday Courier ; $l,17oto

During the last half year of 1832. the item of
stationery and printing, rose to $26,543 72, of
wnicn ;t)y,5ou are stated to nave been paid on
orders of the President, under the resolution

for printing Mr. Webster's speech and articles
on the Veto; and $422 65 to Nathan Hale
for 5,500 copies of Mr. Webster's speech.
There is also a charge of $5,040, paid on or
ders of the President, stating that it is for ex
penses in measures for protecting the Bank,
against a run on the Western Branches.
During the first half year of ife, the item
of stationery and printing was $9,092 59, of
which $2,600 are stated to have been paid on
orders of the President, under the resolution of
11th March, 1831. There is also a charge of
Messrs. Gales fc Seaton of $800, for printing
the Report of the Exchange Committee.
Having made this examination of the Ex
pense Account, we were not only struck with
the large sum that had been expended, under the
head of stationery and printing, in the two years
to which you refer, but also to the evident ne
cessity there was, that the accounts should be
so stated, as to enable the Directors and Stock
holders to ascertain the sums of money paid,
the quantity and names of documents furnished,
and the expenses of distribution and postage.
With this object we stated, at the last meeting
of the Board, the result of our examination of
the Expense account, and submitted the follow
ing resolutions:
"Whereas it appears by the Expense Re
counts of the Bank for the years 1831 and 1832,
that upwards of eighty thousand dollars were
expended and charged under the head of Sta
tionery and Printing during that period that
a large proportion of this was paid to the pro
prietors of newspapers and periodical journals,
and for the printing, distribution and postage
of immense numbers of pamphlets and news
papers and that about twenty thousand dol
lars were expended; under the resolutions of
30th November, 1830, and 11th March, 1831,
without, any acccount of the manner, in which,
or the persons to whom the same were dis
bursed. And whereas it is expedient and
proper, that the particulars of an expenditure,
so large and unusual, which can now be ascer
tained, only by the examination of numerous
bills and receipts, should be so stated as to be
readily submitted to and examined by the
Board of Directors and the Stockholders:
Therefore, Resolved, That the Cashier fur
nish to the Board, at as early a day as possible,
a full and particular statement of all these ex
penditures, designating the sums of money paid
to each person, the quantity and names of the
documents printed by him, and his charges lor
the distribution and postage of the same ; toge
ther with as full a statement as may be, of the
expenditures on orders, under the resolution
of 30th November, 1830, and 11th March, 1831.
That we ascertain whether expenditures of the
same character have been made at any of the
offices, and, if so, procure similar statements
thereof, with the authority on which they
were made. That the said resolutions be res
cinded, and no further expenditures made un
der the same."
These resolutions were postponed on the
motion of one of the directors for the purpose
of-introducing a substitute for them, by the
vote of all present, except ourselves and one
other member of the board. The resolution
substituted was as follows: Resolved that
the board have confidence in the wisdom and
integrity of the President, and in the proprie
ty of the resolutions of the 30th November
1830, and 11th March 1831, and entertain a
full conviction of the necessity of a renewed
attention to the object of those resolutions;
and that the President be authorized and re
quested to continue his exertions for the pro
motion of-said objects."
Viewing this as indicating an intention
side.-1 of the institution (which were not drawn
into discussion or question by us) we offered,
as an amendment, the following resolutions:
" Rpsolvpd that while this hoard rpnosp entire
-- j
confidence- in the integrity of the President,
they respectfully request him to cause parti
culars of the expenditures, made under the re
solutions ot the3Uth November, 185U, and inn
March. 1831. tn he sn slated, that the same
may be readily submitted to and examined by
the Board of Directors and the Stockholders.

These, sir, are the circumstances attending
the best examination we have been able to
make, in regard to the matters referred to us,
bv vour letter of the 3d instant. Should they
not prove sufficiently minute, or our report
sumcicntiy explicit, we must inier, irorn ine
course pursued by theHBoard, when our reso
lutions were submitted to them, that a more

agent directly authorised by the Executive.

We are left to conjecture, as to the objects upon
which this large sum has been expended. The
Board of (Directors, when called on to rennire a Rne-
7 . . . -. - j -
cific account, refused to do so, approved the expendi
ture without knowing what it was for, and urged Mr.
Biddle to go on spending the funds of the Bank just
as he pleases, without accountability to any one on
earth ! When we see what DurDoses so lame a sum
has been applied for which vouchers are rendered,
what have we not a right to suspect in relation to this
large amount for which even Mr. Biddle is ashamed
to account? Can we now wonder at his ability to
advance Mr. Noah $15,000 in April, 1831, soon after
this resolution passed, out of his breeches pocket ?
May we not suspectvthat Stephen Simpson was jaid
for betraying his friends and establishing his Whig
out of this fund? Has Bennet received out of it the
wages of a spy ? Is it Irom this ocean that the Eve
ning Star is rising ? The resolution itself authorizes
Mr. Biddle to hire Editors and writers ; for it is they
who "prepare" articles in favor of the Bank. But
when he is not required to furnish a voucher, have
we not a a right to suspect that the money is
used for direct bribery and corruption ? We do
not charge that it is so; but we say there is reason to
suspect it. .
This Report of the Government Directors, enables
us to fix the stamp of falsehood on an official state
ment made by the Bank to the Senate in February,
1832. On motion of Mr. Benton, a resolution had
bee),adopted, caiing for the expenses of the Bank
from 1817 to 1831 inclusive, under the heads
1. ; Of Printers and Editors.
2. Attorneys and Councellors at Law.
3. Contingencies.
The President of the Bank replied under date of
OAtU TTt inon r . n
win reDruary, lo.r-:, isee senate Uocuments Vol.

gave the amounts paid "Printers and Editors," at

1825 - 124 00 1829
1829 - 343 01 1830

The Report of the Government Directors shows the
amounts paid almost exclusively to " Printers and
Editors" to have been
For 1830 $14,081 47
1831 43,204 79
It hence appears that these expenses were, in 1830,
about $7,000 and in 1831 about $34,000 more than
the President of the Bank reported to the Senate!
His own report shows where they were covered up
and concealed. It states the contingent.

It will be seen that the cnntinrront-vnAn '

made to increase about as much as the amount report
ed as paid to "printers and editors" falls short ofthe
truth as stated bv the Government Directdrs. It can
not, therefore, be doubted that
purposely made tn answer to an official ctdlof the
. uus nouses which had been
practised in ; 1831, might be concealed from the Se
note and the people ! We are informed from the
most authentic source, that the facta and items con
tained in the preceding report of the Government
Directors, were found ma book denominated Expense
Book, which seldom, if ever, comes before the Board
of Directors; that in their examination, not finding
the expenses attending the mission of General CaT
waltider to Europe, connected with the 3 per cent
transaction, they were informed,, upon inquiry, that
those, amounting to &000 for compensation, and a

It will remembered, that-John Sergeant, Esp
was a candidate for the Vice Presidency. Here S
have a candidate for the Vice Presidency ordering
printing, and the Bank paying his bill " This is
throwing off the mask entirely, and directly sustain
ing a candidate with its money ' ! !
But without this direct case, the most ecept.cal
can no longer doubt, that the whole power, and an
immense portion of the funds of the Bank have
been employed since 183Q in a tremendous effort io
control the politics of the country and fill the coup- I
cils of the nation with its creatures. It is not these
printing expenses alone which are to be coiteMered
Who has forgotten the $ 52,000 loaned to WehU
Aoah, who were insolvent in a year; the $30i0io
Jasper Harding, who is in like condition ; and untold
sums to political profligates, who might be able lo ex
tend its influence and increase its power.
And what is the prospect ahear) ? We are offi
cially informed, tht these practices are to be con
turned. The President of the Bank has been in
structed, by a formal resolution of the Board of Di
rectors, to continue thesev expenditures for objects
known and unknown. He is instructed to hire wri
ters and editors, to assail those opposed to the Bant,
to scatter misrepresentation thouehout the land, to
furnish electioneering documents to candidates, to'
fill the offices of the State and General Gdvernment
with its creatures, to wrest the political?' power ofthe
country from the hands of a pure people and place
it in the hands oi' men who shall rule as theners
regents of the Bank.
Will not all republicans and all pure and hon-rf
mn, of whatever name or party, rally to the support
of him, who has resolved to strangle this Hydra and
save his country from its usurpations -nd pornipti ns?
Yes, General' Jackson has never made an appeal
to his countrymen in vain. At New Orleans he
said, "owr country must and shall be defend
and it was defended. When Nullification reared
its bloody banner, he said,', "Me Federal Vnm
must be preserved," and it Was preserved. When
the Bank is now assailing our institutions hy cornip
tion in a thousand insiduous forms, he says, it must
be destr oyed, and IT WILL BE DESTROYED,
