Mr. Mcmminger said, that he ten dered to the House his ackoowledg lacnta fo their couHcsyr he Was fully sensible'of the great value of-their lime, at this lote'period of the session, anduld jgljjjjjiy,U .hvmsUMMf meant whiclLCould -save-s oflsumft. non..1IeT observed- however; that the House itself seemed to be satisfied that that time could not be better applied than in- givin jpfull consideration to measures which involved the common dcKthiies of (tie South. For himself, the course ,was plain. lie had bee 11 eommisioiK'd lo discharge a great pub lic' trust, and as the llouss Jiad been ph ased to invite him to a hearin;, it became his doty, with the best ability he had, to submit to their considera tion, the whole matter to be adjudged. t Before entering upon the main ques tion, however, Mr. M.' said, that tocn sure an impaitia1 decision, it was now renderetl necessary to brush away the cobwebs wilh which rumor had sur rounded his mission. He had heard it alleged, that this Rail Road and Bank was a pa rty measu re mann facto red4 v the nulliSers of South Carolina, for the purpose of creating a great monied in terest, which was to sever the Union. If this were indeed true, they had been peculiarly adroit in selecting their a--ents. But, unfortunately for the al legation, the Bank was supported in South Carolina by the" Union part, & was directly opposed by the ex-Governor, and other leaders of the nullifi cation party, i Sic, said Mr. Mr it has become fashionable in certain quarters, to denounce the nullifiers of South Ca rolina, as enemies to the country He, for one, would be taken at least, as an unprejudiced witness, ia this matter. He was a Union man, and had opposed the nullification doctrines openly, and without fear. As he knew himself to be actuated by the highest sense of ! tyrso he-yielded the same -motive to his opponents. As an adversary, his testimony in their favor was entitled to gome consideration, believed tliat nouier anu more generous spim nau . wha tever - ' tnav liava been the tnotivciuf amhe in.' ,iuTi(iuais, ne leuassnreu tnaiinegreat j mass were governed by the thoi ar- tlent patriotism. I heir greatest error, t (if error it was consisted 'theltKncTp1H'i'oeWrm love of country became enthusiasm. Sir, they were a gallant band, and they aetedameirp consequences to themselves, lie uatl rend in the early history of that people, whose skill and valour atterwarus suu dued the world; that when their city was besieged by a-oetghbounng and powerful monarch, and was reduced to the last extremity, a Roman -youth re solved to save his country.

But sirt they did no, vtili iW Jauulless courage ot the Roman and the beilaguering army, with its tariffs, implied nowers. and other jmeans of encroachment upon the rights of the States, hath retired Ufroni ara nd the Sou th.: It is true Sir, that the phrenzicd zeal of party strife, nrweslrained, may have done infinite mischief. ' But the Union party of the South was the balancing power which prevented the iniliction of unmitigated evil. Thev were the oarsman upon the other side of fie sleigh of State and their courage and fortitude, directed by bold hands and fearless hearts, am;d the whirlwind which agitated the waters, was the counterforce which kept the vessel in her course and eventually led to a haven.- Both sought their country's wel fare, and under the direction of that inscru fable Providence which causes agents, seemingly ..-.the- most opposite, to produce one general, common good. they have each nobly acted out their part. That crisis, Sir, is past; and now they stand as one phalanx, ad vancing together in the effort to im prove their country. s ". -- The projpct ndw "before you Mr. M. said, is their common work. The char ter of the bank was tfrafted by a union gentleman, high in the confidence of the country; he was supported in the Legislature of South Carolina by the leading men of both parties and had the warm co-operation of the Repreten? tatives of those efi'C tors w ho have sent to Congress an avowed 'supporter of: Mr,Vtt Burcnlt is now .sustained 1 before you by a union . delegate, ap Sointed by a Governor -who is a nulli' er.

As to the alle gation of its endangerim; the union, he jiiiiiratdliaY tnaowieuuemyasxairviy --oppoMte, and that if the opponents of the project are in, earnest in urging ihisjtrgumcnt, they,-W'tU find tltaf it will lead them to support, instead ofrejecting the scheme. lie hoped that men ol all parties would unite' here as in South' Carolina that n. prejudice , sllould1ecrtnittcd to affect this discussion f but that each should ' consider for hitnaclf.' tvhelher the measures now proposed would be advantageous to the country. He con jured them as brothers of the suiuc par entage, as sons of CaroJina. united by the common iiei of -name and interest, to listen wilh willing ears,' , lie called upoit them by the remoniberance of common dangers and of f.riner days by the bones of their ancestors which lie mingled in. a common dust at Guil ford and King's mountain, to put aside aH jealousy and partr feeling, to join with him. heartly antl sincerely, and endeavour by united councils to ad vance the " happiness of ou r Southern ;ountry. ' . . j '".'.'.' Mr. M, then stated that ' the chief subject he had to propose, was a grant ol Hanking rnvdiges to a company which had undertaken to construct a Rail Road from Charleston to Cincin: miti, through'Nurth Carolina and three other States of. this - Union, . at a cost ot more than twelve millions of dollars,:, :',.-- '" v ;;- " It had been objected at tho threshold, hat the demand of a bank charter from different States; was a novel experi ment, and, moreover, that it was at va riance with tha' clause of the Consti tution of the United States, which for' bids the States frota entering: iota com pacts with each other. - If the novelty of the experiment be a valid objection against anyscneme wen an improve meet must cease. .
