COUNTV.
Fellow Citizrns:
We have just seen in address
to you, published under the signatures
of Allen Rogers, the elder, and others,
on the Congressional election. It is
an artful and uncandtd attempt to im
pose upon the public credulity, and
was known to be so by the writer,
vhaterer may have been the notions of
the "plain men" whose names are ap
pended to it; and therefore its publica
tion was reserved until a time so near
to the election, in the hope that now,
as on former occasions, an uncontra
dicted misrepresentation might have
all the effect of truth and reason.
Mark, fellow citizens, that these gen
tlemen who have kindly undertaken
the charge of your understandings and
the direction of- your votes, have, at
this late period, come forth fur the first
time with their communication. Why
have they delayed it? If their address
was important, and capable of bearing
investigation, why was it not sooner

They intended to lake you by surprise,
and prevent the possibility of opposing
truth to falsehood. In this they may
to a certain extent sucreed) yet it- is
hoped that some remarks upon" this
production may yet reach you inTiine
to prevent the full success of this stu
died effort to deceive.
- The writer of this- address sets out
by making up a false issue, to wit: that
the question now is between the Bank
on one side, and fie people on the oth
er. This, fellow citizens, is not at all
the question of this period. The true
questipnjs, whether
erned by the judgment of Congress or
the-ithlgmentof4hojj:esi(lent wheth-Ury

own representatives or by the mere
will of the Executive? The question
as to t Bank is indetd important, as it
deeply, affects the prosperity of the
country; but it derives its highest im
portance from the manner in which the
National Bank was assailed by execu
tive power in defiance of the represen
tatives of the people. You all remem
ber that in the session of Congress of
1831, a bill passed by a large majority
farrxexharteriog:
President refused to let it become a
law. Again, Congress passed a reso
lution declaring that the National Bank
was a i safe depository for the public
money. What did the President? So
soon as Congress adjourned, he caused
the public money to be removed from
this place of safe deposite. and put it
into such State Banks as he chose, &
upon such terms as he chose. Again
boausedaTmsu ryJOrderfo Issued
requiring specie to be paitT fortlie ptir-"
chase of-public landg whiU4iher
dues of the government were left to be
paid in banknotes. Was this right? was
it fair and equitable? It was not right,
because it was an abuse of power by
the President. It was not fair and e
quitable, because no reason can be gi
ven why an importing merchant in
New York should be allowedjo pay in
Bank notes, while an emigrant or now
settler, removing tq the west, and de
siring to get a home for his children,
shttuld be required to pay in specie.
All debtors of they government ought
to sUndonaneqflaJiojiting;but.jf any.
difference is to be made, surely a far
mer iaboaret onghotto be sub.nfejflf c rTratert)f the
lected to the ha rdesttermsof paymen t
Arercmnt-ew- orkor-Baltt-more,
or New Orleans, might without
much difficulty procure the specie to
pay his duties from the City Banks;
but where is an emigrant to the far
west to get the specie? or, if hs had it,
howTs it to be transported?
This order was therefore wrong in
itself, as it was unjust and partial in
its operation; and Congress, feeling it
to be so, at the last session, passed a
resolution to repeal it, and to provide
especTalty thatnodisiximinaliojia
should be made, but that the kind of
money received from one class of debt
ors should be received from all.' This
resolution was drawn,9 supported and
carried, not by men in opposition to
the administration, but by itt support
ers. What was the result? The Pres
ident neither gave nor refused his as
sent to it; but to borrow an expression
used at the- timeIquieUy-!?put itin his
pocket." And so this unjust and out
rageous Treasury Order remained in
force by the mere will of the Presi
dent, though more than two thirds of
both houses ot Congress had passed a
resolution to repeal it The main ques
tion, therefore, now is, shall this gov
eminent be one of the peP! by their
repwsenUttTeoF6r.Thr Presi
dents, in spite of the people and their
representatives? Fellow citizens, can
you doubt on this question? , , V
: But what have been the consequen
ces of this course of measures on the
part of the President? The public mo
ney removed by him from the Bank of
we uniieu states, wnere oy ,iaw u
should have been deposited, and where
Congress said it was safe: this money
"'.'' ...'r
where is it? ' Where it teat perhaps
might be told, scattered amongst a bun1
dred Banks established by the states,
over which Congress cannot exercise
inyttfntr
one tan conjecture. All, yea, every
one of . these Banks have suspended
Specie payments, and the government
cannot command a dollar of their pub-
lie funds; and millions of it, no doubt,
are lost forever. The money was ta
ken from a safe Bank, al ways prepared
to pat it where and howllie public is
terest required, ami placed with those
who, whether they keep it aniy-or
not. certainir oar u nenner wnere nor
how the public requires.
Fellow citizens, one thing is cer
tain: eight years ago, w5 had the best
currency in the world our bank notes
were as good as gold, and paid ever
wherein specie. We were prospe
rous, and the business of life was eve
ry where transacted with ease and ad-
antage. How are we nowf fcvery
taple commodity is down in price;
all the Banks in the country have sus
pended specie payments, and there is
a rreneral and severe pressure on an
severe pressure

v - -
it a?
this state of things? We say the ex
ecutive tamperings with the currency
t he rjonrse ot mgh hnn d ed measures to
whicn we have alluded, is one of the
most influential causes. The writer
of the address tells you the want of a
national Bank did not cause' the fall in
the price of Cotton, for the cotton fell
in loaj, irom xo cents to 12, wnen
we had a national Bank. Now, no
body suppose -that the want of the
I5anK directly caused ttie -fan -tn the
price of Cotton. But why hasjhe tall
in the price of that article induced now a
general suspension of specie payments?
In 1825, cotton fe I, and some suffer
ing was the consequence; out our
banki. did jioL.stop4)a ymentgj there!

tv. hv. then, does this cenerai sus
pension follow the fall in the price of
cotton now? The answer is plain.
Irt 1 825, we had a national Bank; the lo
cal Banks were regulated and kept in
bounds by it. We had a currency
which was sound, because limited to
the demands of the country, and be
. a .a .t a .. I
ing prepared lor tne shock, we with
stood it easily. Now, we have no Na
tional Bank, but an enormous increase
of local banks and vast issues' of pa

What-are the advantages ol such
measure, looking to experience, which
all admit to be a safe guide? - Recol
lect, the question is not between a hard
monev currency and bank notes. The
currency of this country is fiecessari
ly a currency of bank notes; for as all
the states nave tne power 10 estauiisn
Banks, Congress cannot prevent it.
The question i, which is best, a cir
culation composed altogether of the
notes of local banks established in So

shewn to be the best course bv exne
nence. How shewn? Attend to the
facts, facts which no parti zan of Van
Buren has yet dared to deny, wmie
ihefirst Bank of the UnitetT States
was in operation, our whole circulation
was sound all banks redeemed their
notes in specie. The chatter of that
Bank expired in 1811, and' within a
year after, all the Banks south of Bos
ton stopped specie payments, and be-
fore long weJiiad-J)ank notes at a dia-
countof from 10 to 20 and even 40
per cent . The second bank was in
consequence established, amf was re
commended by the. late President
Madisow as the only means of restor
ing the currency. In a few years, it
succeeded in bringing the general cur
rency into a sound state and during
tne latter years 01 its existence, an
the banks everywhere redeemed their
notes in specie. vveu, us cnaner
lately expired, and what follows? An
universal stonnaee of necie nsrments.
Let it be remembered, that neither the
first nor the second National Bank ever
refused to pay specie, but always re
deemed their ootes promptly, on their
being presented. As then, whenever
we jhayer had a National Bank," 'our
currency has"'. been sound; and. when
ever we have been . without one, the
currency has become disordered and
unsound, and as our National Bank
never in a single inslancefref used spe
cie payments, therefore we think, if
we had a National Bank re-establish
ed, we shall again have a sound cur
rency just as a man who, has often
seen a cloud from the south-west bring
ex
pects the rain..
Ii there any reason to be offered a-
gainst such a bankf i lie writer ol the
sons; but feeling that they would hard
ly bear examination, he commences by
an enueavor 10 excite pFejuutce in
sinuating that those citizens who wish
a national uank are under what tie
calls "Hank Influence" that some
sort of personal interest,' distinct from
their concerning the general- goodT4i-j
recti ineir conuuet, anu giving mem
the appellation of "Bank . Whigs."
Fellow-citizens, why is this poor and
dismgenuons course resorted to? to
serve good purposes? No, but for the
accomplishment of the very worst.
Who, let us ask, recommended the es-
tablifchment of the first United Mates
Bank? Oeoiigb' WashixgtOx. Who
recommended the establishment of the
last? James Madison. Were these
men "Bank Whigs? were they cor
rupt? were they under the influence of
personal motives,, and against their
country? Are we to be sneered at,
and gross insinuations thrown out a-
rainsrus, because we- Bupport -what
Were they less worthy leaders, or did
ther do less for their country than
Atartin.Vaa j3nrenU." ...
But it is said a National Bunk is
dangerous to public liberty. We ask,
is it likely that Washington, fresh
from the glorious toils of our revolu
tionarr struszle. in .which he had so
Tfreely hazarded' lile n:id whatwat to
him dearer than life, for the sole pur
poses of securing public liberty is it
likely that he would have recommend
ed to Congress To estatilistrs "Baik to
put clown public liberty ? How was
it with Madison ? ' He lived to see the
first National Bunk in operation for
twenty years ; and in this tinie, if its
tendency had been adverse to public
tibertyrwiiutd7hrmrit haTe-riisfeoverd
it? Surely be would. And do you
I believe that he, knowingarJsuapi?tuing
jt to be dangerous to the liberty of his
country, would have recommended the
establishment of a second National
Bank ? Assuredly ho would not.
Without any disrespect for the names
appended to the Address, we may ven
ture to say that Washington or Madt-
-son'had either of themju much intelli
gence to discern, and as much desire
to promote the honor and wellare of
their country, as either the writer or
signers of the Address,
It is said, however, that t!ieTateT3?nt
made, war upon "the late President.
This assertion is untrue 1 and, either
the writer of the address must be sad
ly ignorant, or wretchedly indifferent
to the truth, to make it. The Presi
dent in fact, made the war upon the
Bank all that the bank did whs to de-
lend itself ; and. we hope,' however

Again, it is said loathe addresif that
the Bank borrowed nioney 'to strength
en itself for a conflict with the people.'
This assertion is unjust and untrue,
and was no doubt knowfl to be so when
it was made. The Bank never had
and never contemplated a conflict with
the people. "No i proof U 'offered prcan

of Congress. It refused -to put its
books into the possession of the Com

authorised by its charter orihe resol u
tion of Congress, but got up by certain
members of the Committee for par

was right and the majority of the Com

But it is said you cannot restrict s
National Bank; because y6u cannot
restrict the State Banks, which have
all refused to pay specie. Now, this
argumeptjs JIotally fallacious. The
facts prove the direct contrary. The
State Banks refuse to pay specie in
defiance of their charters, but this the
National Bank never did. That Bank
redeemed - its notes in -Specie, in all
placet and at all times. Therefore it
