The Very first charge that the laU President ever brought against The lank wn, that it had not maintained a sound and uniform currency. Most persons probably, I will think to charge quite unfounded ; yet this 'A was the charge. Its dfrlidion of duty, or its want of ubiiiiy tu perform wbathid been expect ed from ii its' failure, in xiune way, to main tain a good currency, wt the ' original professed cauue of disss I is faction And wht a the bill for ' re chartering the bank was negatived, it was not on the ground that Government had nothing to do with the national currency i but that a bet ter provision fr it uiight be inide ihan wtTtiad - in the bank!

Sir, let -mo turn io Ihe Message itself, to show that all its re cummehdatious, and indeed,' all the. objects in calling Congress together, a're -coo fined to the narrow and exclusive purpose of refiering1 ihe wahtB of Government, " 1 j The Preideat says that4 the regulations es tablished by Congress for the deposite and 'safe keeping of the public moneys having become in ; operative by the saspension of payment by .Jibe bauks i and apprehending that the same" cause Would so diminish the revenae lbat the receipts into the Treasury would not be sufficient iade fray the expenses of Government ; and as ques titws were also expected Jo arise respeciing the October tnsialmeitt of the deposite to the biates, and doubting whether Government would be a bie to pay jts creditors in apecie, or Jts equiva lent, acccoiding to law, he felt it to be hit doty to cai i Congress together. These are. the rea-. sons for 'calling ' Congress. They are . all the reasons ; and they all have exclusive regard to -the Government Itself f' -t , . i 4 In ihe next place,' let os see what measores the Message recommends to Congress .In its own language, the objects demanding its atten tion are , "To regulate, by law. the safe-keeping, trans fer, and disiiorsemsnt of the public moneys j to designate the funds to be received and paid by the Government ; to enable! the Treasury to meet promptly every demand upon it; to pre scribe the terms of indulgence, ; and the mode of settlement to be adopted, as well in collecting from individuals the revenue that has accrued, as in withdrawing it from former depositories.'! , . These are .all oojecte recommended particu larly to the care dt Congress ; and the enumer tion of them is followed by a general suggestion, that Congress ar ill adopt such fsrthef measures as may promote the prosperity of the count iy.t This whole enumeration, ll ts obvious, is con fined to the wants and convenience of the Gov ernment itself, o . - . And now sir, let os see on what grounds it is that tbe Message refrains from recommending measuths of general relief. The President says: It was oot'desijnedby the Constitution that the Government ' should assarne the man agement of domestic or foreign exchange, ft is mdeed, authorized iiv-rnlate, by law the com' merce between the biates, and to provide a gen eral standard of value or medium of exchange in gold and (silver ; Out it is not Us province to aid individuals in the transfer of their touds, other wise than throuJh the tact littee afforded by the P'jst Office Department. As justly rnighl it be called on to prqvide for the transportation uf their merchandise ; - Atd aain : 1 " If therefore, I refrain from 8uggestingto Congress any specific plan for regulatinghe ex change? of the country, relieving mercantile eirt Qarrasemiits, or interfering with the ordinary operations of foreign or domestic wmiraerce, it is irom a conviction that such measures are not within ihe constitutional province of the Gener al Governmeni, und that their adoption would not promote the real and permanent welfare of those they might be designed to aid.' ' The President, then sir, declines to recom mend any measure for the relief of commerce, for ihe restoration of lb currency, or for the benefit of exchanges, on the avowed groiii.d, thai iu his opinion, such measures are not wit Inn the constitutional power of Congress. Ho is . dis tinct and explicit, find so far entitled to rdit. I lie deuie broadly and flatly, ftiat There- is any iiuiuunijr in mis uoveinmeni to regoiaie the currency and the exchanges, iy0cftl the care oi u coin. I he question: then, is fairlw fcro.I t caonot be misur.oerstood ; and we" re now to see how Congress, and what is roach more im- ponaru, now tne country will settle it. Mr. President, if ; in May last' when sneeie payments were suspended, thtf resident uf one of the hank-s tiad called his couocil of aireetors together, infirtned them that their affaira were threatened with danger, that they coold not col- ecr their debis ir specie.laod mrirhtnotbe ahl to pay their creditors in specie, and recommend ed sueh measures a -he thnncrkt ihair ir.iA.i . - " uvai itiidiciai required; his-plicy, in all ibis, would ha ?e been no more exclusively confined to the inter es s of his corporation than the policy of the Message is confided to the interests of this great ctrKiraiion of Government.. Both in practice. iherefore, and on principls, in reality and avow edly, the Administration abandons the currency to its fate it surrenders all care over it, de clines all cjneern about it, and denies that it has any du ty con nected with it. V ; ' k . . ; Sir, the question then comes to be thisilShaU one the great powers of the Cmstifotionf a power essen tia I toil, on any j nst pla'fj or th'eory of Government, a power which has beenYexer- cisea irom tne begmninjr, a power absnluf el v necessary and indispensable to the proper regu lation of the commerce of the ct)untrvi be'nnw surrendered and abandoned forovof 1 ' T' ..;-. t J, : : - Are they cot the . well known ofce'sT'whicn we heard Uj often whep jhe late 'exriment wae begun KlWerknowcCoh voice from, the honorable member from 5s.

The character or tlfproject islseferance of the Goyeronieot froo) tbe peo pfel This, like the mark of Cain, ; is faianded on-pits forehead.- Government sepifatV itself, not from (be bankt merely, but, from' the com munity. (t withdraws its care, it denies its protection, it renounces its own high doiifcs. ' I ain against the project, therefore, in principle and in detail ; 1 am lor no new experiments; hot I am for a sound currency ; for the conotry. And I mean by this a convertible currency, so lar as it consists of paper. I differ, altogether; in this respect from the gentleman frsm South Carolina; Mere Government paper, not paya ble otherwise than by being received for taxes, hai no pretence to be called a currency. After all that can be said about it, such paper is mere a paper money. It is nothing but btflsof credit it always has been, and always will be, depre ciited. Sir want specie, and we want pa per of aiivralcredit, and which i& convertible into specie at she will of Ihe bolder. That 959 lem of currency , the experience ot the world, and our own experience, have both- fully ap proved I maintain sir, that the People of this coon try are entitled, at the hand of this government to a sound, sate and uniform currency; if they agree with me, they will themselves ay so. Tbey will say, il is our right, we have enjoy ed it for forty years , li is practicable, it is ne cessary to oox prosperity i it is fhe duty of Gov ernmeul to furnish it j we ooght to have it, we can have it, and we will have it. The language of the Administration, on the otber hand, is. 'Good master, you are mistaken. Yon have no such right. Von are entitled to no- such thing from us. Ti:e Constitution has been misundersuxid. We have suddenly found out its true meaning Anew light has flashed upon os. " It is no business of ours to fulrnsh a national currency. You can not have it, and you will not get it, Mr. President, I have thus stated what I think to be the real q lesiion now before the country. I trust myself cheerfully, to the re suit. I am willing to abideuhe test ot tine, and the ultimate judgment of ihe pecpie ; for It i a sentiment deeply infused into me, 11 is a convic tion which pervades every faculty I posses, that there can be. no setiledjarid permanent pros perity to the eoinmercp and Business ot the coon try,ontil the constitutional duty of Government in regard to the curieocy be honestly and laiUi fully fulfilled. i xnsswtll ob and empted ' the' n utl 1 sefape :t iSu uri cm. 1 Qever iri iny horn daya beara the like.. r K: -f- ? ..u .. 1 T, ,.? & Artiri 1 bis - address nis over, weal! gave ' wo times wre, good hearty; cheers and : trie Two Pollies, the rolled from ide jtp; side? like a goodf natored 'UuhteV'0rst;We? dpper1ibV and then tolher, jest aV thnngb jahe ' Ukinpatt .WMi C Wn; arid w hich1 sheadi a figh t tot dev? rt" r?wo.PolIie8aa J said, afore, is' son Dd in her hoi I, and all her ground tackle U as pood as evejbut ehe wants refilling and as yet,I am a leetle puzzled lo know which jrort to carry her to for an outfit.

Well then, if this is so, who is ii gives liberally of the fruits of his industry, the man who has someihin, ortthe man who has nothin T and yet wr hear some of these Loco Foco djmigogues, who are too idle lo work fur an honest li vin, talkin round among the ignorant and the wicked, and tellin 'era to join in the cry of down with the rich, and tryin, in lact, to make it appear a sin in any rnan to have more with his industry and vir tues, jthan they have with their idleness & wickedness. 1 dont like to trust, myself in writin more on this matter, as my dandejr always begins to lift when I think on't. j But about litis jollification talk'd on, I dont ee that better could be done than the plan propose, and 1 hope something as nigh jike it as possible will be adopted; however, I dont know but we must have something by Way of markin this election; and iiisteau of an illumination, let a big gun tell ihe story from every hill top 76 tunes slam I 6arig'-f-from the sea shore to the lakes ijainl back again and 1 call on my frieutj Prentiss of the Louisville Journal a way;! over in old Kentucky, to charter the big thunder cloud he promised a spell ago, to leiipii: a real rpuser, ana l nope every State will take its own time in jinin in with ijhis victory, till it comes round thro old Virgin ny, o let the last roar of thebig guns be heard On tbe day when Congress gits ttgether jest to tell the folks there, that the wind has shifted and it is high time to tack ship.

The adoption of what is nsually called the sub-Treasury scheme, wh reby all the public treasure will be in the hands of the offirrts of the Government, to be kept and disbursed by tbetn, aod will be unsafe, may be used for party and corrupt purposes,, and will augment the Executive power.to a dangerous extent, inasmuch as the control of the whole treasure of the Nation will, by the power of appointment and removal, be in tbe hands of tbe Presi dent alone, ; 2d. The establishment of tbe principle and practice of compelling all dues to the Government, and ail debts from the Govern ment, to be, paid in specie alone, because it will enable the Government to obtain pos session of a faige proportion of the specie of the cnunti y, and thereby control t plea sure and destroy tbe circulating medium created by the States; and it also establish es a most odious distinction between .the People a Ad those who hold public office, inasmncb as the latter will receive for their ! salaries, and iu payment for their . services. gold and silver, while the; labor of the Peor pie must be paid ftrr in less valuable paper, which the conduct of the Movernmeut win in ore and morb deprccjateaidrendei worth- defence of .ihe risjbts and imt! -t States and, tbe People, the hon uel L.
