FROM THE NATIONAL GAZETTE
The July Instalment oj the Surplus
Revenue :
OR, THE PROSPECT BEFORE US.
The Washington Clone, for some weeks
past, has been making almost daily 'attacks
upon tho Bank of the United Stalls, Willi
the ruanifest design of casting upon that
institution the odium which is due alone to
the financial policy of General Jackson.
The (ilolio cannot but be sensible that 'the
humble efforts to restore the constitutional
currency.' made by the individual under'
whom to have served was 'glory enough' for
hi successor, have brought the country, iri-l
toils pfcacuUMraeteid cridiio'n ; anl it
is also sensible that three months cannot
elapse without a convulsion, which will
convince the most stubborn adherent' of
the party in power Ihe entire fai'iire of the
ex peri merit frohjcH'dmsifmi
ot'encelr' resulted. The conyul
8ion . q. w inch I rtfer is the faUwt of the
Government to pay .over to Vie Statu the
July "intalmrnt of the Surplus Revenue;
or, w hat would be infinitely worse1, a gener
al suspfiiaion of specie gaymnnts by the
banks, arid the conflvqiieiit substitution of

ters ol 'paper. From this view ol the case
a must be evident tint the ability of these
banks to purchase bills by fresh emissions
of paper credits will be impossible, with
out, the hazard of being brought to a stop
page of specie payments. That they can
not pay eghl and a half millions, or any
considerable poitioii ol thai sum, in specie,
without the same hazaid, is equally evi
dent ; and it may therefore be fairly as
sumed that the transfers cannot be made. u
Out, il is to be noted, that the defalca
tion in the transmission of funds from
West to the East is not the only ditliculfy
that will be experienced by the Western
and Southwestern deposite banks. The
settling of balances betyycett--thwe"of (nf
iierwiv "tStaVBsi'St even between those of ihe
same State, roust he ...attended with great
embarrassment. The same remark will
app'y to those of the Atlantic cities. Ca
ses have already occurred in which the de
posite banks'of one city have not been a
bio to obtain the balances due by those of
another city ; and it is known to the. avtU
iter that drafts '-'drawn "by one deposite bank
upon another have been protested from
Mrtii payment, and that already a Treasury
rafVirpoii' "deposit" UnC' nas been dis
honored. Under this condition of things, it may
very naturally be asked, what course will
the Scctelary of the Treasury pursue f
(las he the power, and if he haw. w ill lie
bring suit against the deposite hanks who
may be unable to pay, and tlieir sureties,
in order to coerce the fulfilment of their
contracts? Should he do this, hje' will
most certainly bring about a "snsrpeiisio ti of
I specie pavments, which wpuld gi ve.ua the
uemiine rair ctirrcncVin dace of General
Jack son's long promised gold currency.
Such an,event, perhaps, would hardly be
hazaitJedimd il .is therefore aiorejUhan
probable that the ' Secretary'' would content
himself with quietly acquiescing in'the
measure, whilst out venerable President
that was. and vet U. as far as the consti
tutioual currency' is concerned, would find
consolation in ihe result, as being a defeat
of the bill which he told the country he
had so reluctantiv siened.

And now let us inquire whaLjuiluaiwt
tllis, MJtcaaure wwld; tl S ve "lu jion t he state of
the money market, and how far it would
?o towards relieviug the existing rircssure?
answer that, if the deposite banks should
default in their payments to the Govern
ment, and be thereby relieved from the- ne
cessity of a rapid reduction of their loans,
without which no payment can be made
on the 1st of Julv, the indulgence would
he immediately felt by iheir debtots and
by the community. That portion of them,
ttieretore, whose pecuniary embarrass
ments wore of a, nature lo 'be cured by a
reasonable extension of time would have
the chance of being saved from ruin. But
there would be great danger i)j at the banks
might be imprudenC aiid extend their is
sues, in which case a suspension of specie
payments would most assuredly follow,
and bring with it a train of disasters even
worse than those unJer which we are now
writhing.
The greateal evil that could befall this
country, not only as regards her prosperi
ty at home, but her honor and character a
broad, would be general suspension of spe
cie payments by the banks. In t.'ie
prevention of such a catastrophe, ihe Gov
ernments of the Union and the States, as
well as the whole People, have a deep and
lasting interest ; and it is for that reason
that I assume it as certain that the Gener
al (iovcrtiriieut would pursue the course
which I have above indicated It is in
deed probable that the Secret try of the
Treasury, judging from his ellii ml notice
ioftlie Im instariT, in wTiich lie ii.tiniates
'ossibi!ny of a diminished revenue,
might, if he had the power, voluntarily
withhold from the States one or both of
the instalments yet to he paid, upon the
ground that the wanlof , the Treasury lo
nit'el appropriations demanded sueh a
course. Bui he uossesses no such power,
lained. ana alter being once trait! , Can only
be recalled by gentle instalments, not ex
ceeding two hundred and forty thousand
dollars in any one year from tho Stale re
ceiving the largest share, and from the oth
er Slates in the saino proportion.
